Warhawk Patch goes live tonight

May 20, 2008 · Filed Under Gaming, PS3, PlayStation, Warhawk · Comment 

Dylan Jobe, Warhawk Developer has posted up a list of changes on the PlayStation US Board

* By popular demand, playlists which include the largest layouts now include only the largest layouts. They will no longer occasionally rotate into medium layouts.
* By popular demand, respawn times have been set to 3 seconds.
* By popular demand, Broken Mirror servers now offer dedicated CTF and ZNS games in place of the mixed playlists.
* Dogfight servers were added back to the list. They were inadvertently omitted before.
* All games’ time limits were reduced to 15 minutes, and ZNS score limit was reduced to 5000, to combat complaints of prolonged base camping.
* “NEWBIE” servers were changed to “Rookie” to bring the nomenclature in line with upcoming changes in v1.4.
* “Pro” servers were changed to “Expert” to more obviously indicate a skill level rather than a player type. Some players incorrectly identified “Pro” servers as tournament games, a la MLG or GGL.
* “Casual” servers are essentially the same as before, but the “Casual” designator has been dropped. We now refer to these internally as just “standard” servers, and they are listed without any special identifier.
* The rank cap on Rookie servers was increased to Wingman, since players were getting kicked out of these servers too quickly and finding themselves unprepared to play on standard servers.
* A rank cap was imposed on standard servers at Command Marshall. This is rank 15/19 so it should not affect a lot of players. The intention is to pull some of the most elite players out into their own category, somewhat narrowing the rank gap on these servers.
* Many Omega Dawn exclusive servers were removed due to lack of use.

Keep up the good work guys, I always look forward to Warhawk updates :)

Warhawk - Operation Dead Mirror

The second booster pack for Warhawk is not that far away now, in the US it is to be launched on the 17th.

Anyhoo here’s a trailer :)

Operation Dead Mirror includes…

  • 10 layouts on a brand new winter battlefield, Vaporfield Glacier.
  • 2 new Armored Personnel Carriers (Chernovan and Eucadian styles).
  • 10 bonus layouts for battlefields from the original game so that you can play with the APCs.

Yup, a snowy map which features dynamic weather which is synchronised across the whole network, so one minute it could be snowing, the next sunny. it will be interesting to see how it works.

Vaporfield Glacier is a vast, windswept valley filled with huge chunks of glacial ice, raised highways, deep chasms, with military bases and research facilities scattered around the frigid landscape. At the heart of the battlefield lies Olsavik Village, a small abandoned town whose people have long since left their homes after years of bloody conflict in the Eucadian War.

what’s different about this map is that it will feature 10 different layouts of different sizes, so it is kind of like having 10 new maps to the same theme.

I cant wait for this to come out, it looks like an awesome update.
