I also wondered what the crap that icon was. Well one good thing about warhawk beta being closed is I'll get back to calling all cars. Then when warhawk is back I'll have a mic for calling all cars. I didn't expect warhawk to be releasing so late or something. Don't know how I'm waiting to get that mic with the game than buy a seperate mic. CAC is so fun when people are talking, can't wait to scream with them. Darn you nicely timed screwed up socom mic.

I was playing Warhawk until 1:30 AM PST this morning, it was still up.
And as of 9:15 AM PST, it's still up.

I got into the beta just a week or so ago, so I didnt have much time with it, but my biggest complaints were the controls...
When controlling a guy I would assume u press up to look up and down to look down... and when controlling a plane or vehicle, reverse the controls...
I dont know I just found the controls very awkward... I hope they address that with the final build..

I'd really like to have the option of NOT having to listen to everyone else playing. I'm sick of hearing some guy repeatedly ask "Is anyone else playing? Is anyone else online?" and the random "f*g" comments.

I was in the middle of a game, and it froze up. I wonder if that was them pulling the plug on the beta?
Yeah, I had very little time with it, but I had a ton of fun. I can't wait for the retail version.

Anyway, I had a good time. A bit messy in the beginning though, froze way too much.
I got on real late, and wasn't able to really get into it. I have to really get used to the aiming acceleration and the slower vertical aiming (which I think is a great feature, but I wish it was more customizable).
To really get into it, I suppose I needed to play with the clan. As I joined very late, most players I played against were real experienced, and I was a n00b. Still was fun though. From what little I played I saw a lot of potential and it's a definite buy for me! The vehicles and weapons, all seem interesting, diverse and useful.
I never tried playing it in the last few days...does it just shut you out completely or just turn off all online connections? I wouldn't mind playing just by myself and just flying the Warhawks around...

I just can't bring myself to delete the game from my XMB
I was really into the game at first, but the controls of the Warhawks and the fact that they were too easy to destroy kept me away in the last few weeks.
Its a good game, don't get me wrong, but it just doesnt have the balance between the vehicles that I would like. I just felt that there was something missing.
Some info on Warhawk at the official PlayStation blog:
And some new cool (though small) screenshots:
1. What game do you have at E3 this year?
Warhawk, baby!
2. Tell us more about your game. Whats the story?
Warhawk isnt about a story plain and simple. Warhawk is about fast, fun, full spectrum warfare with the stuff that players should expect to see in a war game. While there are numerous clever elements in Warhawk that were very proud of, we actively tried to adhere to proven conventions that players are already familiar with.
Im not about to write a bunch of marketing and PR spew here if youre interested in learning more about Warhawk, check-out Warhawk.com.
3. Describe it (your game) in five words or less.
OPTION#1 = The love child of Unreal Tournament and Battlefield.
OPTION#2 = The fastest war-game youve ever played!
OPTION#3 = One of our Public BETA testers referred to Warhawk as a Super Hot, psycho, girlfriend. This description works pretty well.
4. What did you do on this game that you couldnt do on another platform?
Its hard to answer this and not sound like a gratuitous SONY sales pitch
Although I would say its the sum-total of all of our natural phenomenon in the game. Our clouds, procedural water, atmospheric scattering, terrain, etc. All of this stuff runs in parallel on all 7 SPUs simultaneously every frame Im still not sure if the game community is giving enough credit to just how fast the SPUs really are.
5. What do you think is the coolest aspect of this game?
Im really proud of our Quick-Split technology. Its something that once people see how easy and fast our split-screen works, they are often left wondering why it isnt done like that in other games.
Players might remember back to the last game I produced, War of the Monsters; we had a cool split-screen to single screen transition in that game. Split-screen is really important to me as a developer and Im a firm believer in couch-appeal. Games that are not only fun to play, but fun to *watch* being played.
Couch-appeal is a common denominator among most successful titles. I kinda got of topic there for a second
6. If you could sit one person in front of your game for an hour, who would it be?
Jade Raymond (Assassins Creed) I have a purely innocent, *professional* crush on her
7. What game do you most want an hour to sit in front of yourself (besides your own)?
Hmmm, probably Starcraft 2 Im a Protoss Zealot IRL! Most people dont know that about me. I have a Pylon in my office. One of the other games that I am dying to play isnt announced yet The PR folks will shank me if I say anything about it.
8. How many E3s does E3 2007 mark for you?
Since 99 so this year will be 9 OMG, I feel so old now!
9. Describe the pre-2007 E3 experience in five words or less.
Well last years E3 was insane needless to say my pre-E3 experience last year was not spent refining my SIXAXIS interpretive dance!
10. You are asked to make suggestions for an E3 survival kit what three items HAVE to be included?
Who knows what the kit should have in it for this new format? Probably a great map or GPS since people are going to be driving all over LA!
The old-school E3 kit would have included earplugs, Excedrin and a small sketch book. It was always great to play so many games and take notes about what they were doing well and what elements didnt work.
On an unrelated note, Ive always wondered what it would be like to attend E3 with a high-powered directional mic. It is *truly* staggering how open some people are with confidential information. An acute ear at the cafeteria can yield some really interesting info
11. What advice would you have for someone who has never experienced E3?
Wow, not even sure where to begin! Its like 3 separate high schools having high-budget pep-rallies all in the same gymnasium.
Sadly, people wont be able to experience the sensory pressure cooker of E3s past Who knows how this new format will turn out.
12. Describe what you anticipate from 2007s newly formatted E3 in five words or less.
Not much Im skeptical. (thats actually only 4-and-a-half words so I should get some kind of prize)
13. Most over used phrase or expression during E3 season.
The team and I are soooo sick of devs saying that they are taking things to the next level!
I think the press should call shenanigans on any dev who drops a line like this in an interview. So what were trying to do here with Super-Ultra-Tea-Party-Turbo EX-HD is take the first-person, turn-based, MMORPG, Tea and Biscuits simulation genre to the next level!!
*dylan vomits on floor*
*dylan takes note of stomachs evacuated contents*
*corn is observed*
14.When is it being released?
Warhawk is coming to the PlayStation Store *and* on Blu-ray at brick-n-mortar Stores nationwide in early Fall.
15.Whats your favorite part about developing games for a living?
This will sound giga-dorky but I really like the people. This industry pulls together such an eclectic group of people it keeps work very exciting.
