and remove the name of the guy who made it
 
After putting more time into Warhawk I must say...this game isn't very fun. Can't get into the on-foot, vehicle or in-flight gameplay.

Oh wells, I guess I'll continue waiting for Quake Wars.
 
I find it interesting how many people aren't impressed by the drop in / drop out online play.

It's amazing to have 3 of your friends come over and play and then work as a team online and slaughter the opposition.

and lol @ the "this game isn't very fun" trolls. Why even bother coming into the thread with the purpose of intentionally starting a debate (and then mentioning a game that they would like to plug for said hype in this thread).
 
Yea, I'm more amazed by the fact people that are into these type of games that don't like this unfinished beta version. The jumping in part remind me of calling all cars. I didnt play any of the other online games that does this.

I remember arguing with guys like you during the SOCOM 3 Beta.

That game turned out real nice...

*roll eyes*

I am sorry but the unwillingness to say anything negative about a game does not help the final product.

there is big difference between saying something negative about the game, and thinking that game is not fun at all...

Even in its buggy state Warhawk is an excellent game this aint no socom 3 man stop trying to create a controversy that isnt there.

I'm unwilling to talk about specifics here, but...

I agree it has awesome potential but to not admit some things about the game in its current state are extremely frustrating is just crazy imo...

I agree with you, I just cant get into this game. The pace is to slow

oh man I totally agree that some things drive me nuts its super glitchy and some things need to be tweaked but...The game works really well and the fact that a lot of us are still playing it for hours on end despite having to completely reboot our systems is really saying something. The game is great fun and I think thats the hardest hurdle for developers all the tweaking will just make it better.

Also, something else I only noticed a distance..warhawk explosions sometimes, at least, seem to emit a pretty cool shockwave..you can see a circular distortion expand out from the explosion, which I hadn't noticed before.

That's the TOW missile explosion ;)

One thing I did notice tho is... where the **** is the aliasing in this game? It's incredibly clean and clear and you know how picky I am about aliasing issues. No fliker, no aliasing. It's like it's using some kind of magic 16xAA :lol
I'm impressed. Ingognito 3D engine programmers must be genious or something.

pace is slow? Well it is slower than Quake3 but it is definetly not slow if you play it properly... It is actually pretty quick, which is why I like it...

Yeah I dont get that.
One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is you choose the pace you want you can be really strategic and slow by grabbing a sniper rifle a missle launcher and infiltrating / sabotaging enemy bases. You can jump in a Warhawk and be thrown into fire fights immediately. You can jump into a tank and pick your shots or provide cover for your teamates I mean you kind of get to choose the pacing you like.

I agree, this is one of the best multiplayer engines ever. It spanks the shit out of an BF game engine! No fog, no frame rate hickups, crazy dynamic lighting, good AA and AF. Good job Incognito!

Is the game 60 FPS? It plays smooth as silk.
 
It's the same as it always have been. No fix on it yet if they ever will fix the beta. If they were to ever release a demo of this game, the should have it to disconnect every so often, and only limited to 3 days or less of being able to launch the game.

Are people still experiencing freezing? How often?


Well I just finished two 25 minute CTF games without a freeze. Joined a GAF server and crashed within two minutes of the start of the game.....damn you NeoGAF!!!!!
 
I listened to that podcast someone posted before and it is a good idea to preload Warhawk with new PS3's they should sell the game on PSN to the early adaptors for $39.99 if you registered your PS3 before a certain time, $49.99 after that time and $59.99 on Blu-Ray with extras what do you guys think?
 
Well, I just got 3 20 minute games in.

Two CTF and one Zone. Played awesome, had like 23 kills. Stuck to the ground for the most part. Our team actually did quite well without voice chat. (heh)

The game can be really really fun at times (even though my problems with ground combat still stand for the most part).

I'm having a lot more luck hosting and I'm starting to really learn how to play the new gametypes. I love Archipelago for CTF.

SOCOM 3 turned out pretty good, if you're into big environment combat that is. :D
 
I'm listening to that 100mb podcast, and they are going in fine detail on the beta. Just got to the point to where he said he wasn't under beta but the person that gave it to him is. Whats the deal behind that. Can't they still get in trouble? They also are showing it on some webcam :/
 
the more i play the more i get into it. lots of different stratagy to be had all around. SLOW? what? this game plays fast man. you can even cover good ground on foot. the tank is way faster than i though it would be. jeep is a speed demon

One of the dumbest ideas ever for selling a game. Charging 10 dollars more just because you didn't buy the PS3 early? What about those that buy the PS3 and don't register?

They should pre-load the PS3 with GOOD demos, such as maybe a 5 minute-at-a-time demo of CaC, a little Warhawk, some Ninja Gaiden, whatever. My bets are on $30 PSN, $60 Blu-Ray w/ headset.

Thanks. Just found it on the previous page too. This thread is moving very fast!

They went up to the 40min mark still talking about it + other stuff, but people kept asking warhawk questions.

one smart thing they did was auto-running.... it is so stupid that in most games you have to manually enable running - since you are running always...

So you think if sony gave a little thank you to early adpators that's dumb? :lol

Why wouldnt you register the ps3? Im sure someone can come up with a legit reason but i cant when it ultimately benefits you but if you didnt ohh well your shit out of luck that's life just deal with paying the extra 10 bucks. :lol

There are currently two ways to get the beta despite not being in it. But I wont say.

I don't expect you to respond to this, nor is this is plea for someone to give me the beta, it's merely me thinking out loud. I can think of one way: game sharing (which apparently works), but I have no idea how else you can sneak into the beta...

I finally got the "sorry you didn't get into the beta" email from Sony... [grumble grumble]

No GAF server tonight? :/


I started a dedicated server for you guys to play in, however it crashed 4:50 into it (this was with no one on) I then tried again and this one crashed in about 2 minutes time (it just hung there).


Going to go play some Graw 2 on the 360, will prob starta server on sometime later tonight around 0100 edt

I'm currently on the top 12 leaderboard (PlayerBeyond). My e-penis is bigger than yours.

i'm not sure i completed a ranked game yet without it freezing.

I was kicking some ass in a ranked TDM game that was short on people, it was 4 on 1 and i was close to matching kills. Which points out one of 2 things... the other people were horrible, or indeed the warhawk is much too weak against players on foot
