...is how much the 1.2 patch sucks. The 5 second respawn time ruined CTF.

icechai6732d ago

5 sec respawn time is set by servers not the patch

Kleptic6732d ago

yeah...with 1.2 though they made all official servers 5 second respawns though...it used to be 3 I thought (a number you couldn't set on your own servers, it was just increments of 5)...

I wouldn't say it ruined anything...if anything I think it helped...charging into a base and killing a guy...grabbing a flag and getting to a jeep...only to have the guy you just killed immediately bakc and knifing you out of the Jeep was pretty chumpy...the short respawns was almost an incentive to base camp to get a high score...I can't tell you how tired I got of CTF when there would be 15 guys just running around their flag...and would have 1 occasional dude going for our flag...it just makes it a messy TDM where you have to travel across the map each time to find the enemy...

also though...I haven't had much time with the expansion yet...and I have to admit...I haven't had ANY fun with it either...everyone just wants to try the dropship...and I haven't seen 1 person use it effecitvely...the new map is great...the dropship will be cool if people learn what to do with it...

icechai6732d ago

played 2 out of probably 14 CTF games where dropship was used effectively, but when both teams use it well, it becomes reallllly intense and fun. I say give it some time for the average player to get used to the idea of it. Dropships picking up flag carriers, dropping them off 1/3 across the map before being blown to bits or retreating, and dropships protecting bases with warhawks and tanks everywhere is just insane.

BigKev456732d ago

$7.99 is a bit steep for the add on.

pezza6731d ago

Nice review. You should check this out if you haven't already.

neogeo6731d ago

Its a great weapon if you have a good team. flying it alone is nothing compared to having 6 people inside firing swarmer's, lifting a tank with 2 people insode while I unload firepower of gods wrath on the other team...

A Warhawk 2 in the Near Future?

Earlier today, I sent to tweet Sony Santa Monica asking if they're considering a Warhawk 2. It could be that Sony Santa Monica meant to state this following phrase in a different way "We are not working on this game right now", but the "right now" part leads me to believe that they're possibly considering a Warhawk 2 sometime in the future, since they didn't say something along the lines of "We won't be making a Warhawk 2". Is there hope that a great game from the PS3 can have a sequel on the upcoming PS4 in the near future?

KingKelloggTheWH4796d ago

I really hope so,these games are some of the best multiplayer out there and have potential to become the best.It would be a shame to let them die out.

NewMonday4796d ago (Edited 4796d ago )

this is closer to what Sony Santa Monica was trying to say :p

blusoops4796d ago

Only problem is that Dylan Jobe no longer works for sony after Starhawk.

I played warhawk for years vs literally days on starhawk.

They need to go back to warhawk style.

HammadTheBeast4796d ago (Edited 4796d ago )

I agree, Starhawk was a very different game, and tried a bit too hard.

I played in the beta for a bit, and liked it, but the full release got very stale quickly.

The Build and Battle system just wasn't suited for the arcadey all out war battles of Warhawk.

ThatCanadianGuy5144796d ago

Hopefully.Warhawk trumped Starhawk in every aspect.Warhawk was original, unique, epic and downright addictive.

Starhawk felt like a third person COD - in space.They need to go back to basics.

Linzoid4796d ago

Totally agree, I really couldn't get into Starhawk at all.

I really hope we see Warhawk 2 on PS4!

BitbyDeath4796d ago

Yes, i bought Starhawk but barely touched it after a week. Warhawk had me hooked for years.

Linzoid4796d ago

I still play Warhawk now, the community is amazing, loads of people still play

Knushwood Butt4796d ago

Yeah, played Warhawk for hundreds of hours.

Played the Starhawk beta a bit and I just never found it fun. End result being that I didn't buy it.

vickers5004796d ago

And get rid of the stupid build system. It was a neat idea, but it just doesn't really work too well.

KwietStorm_BLM4796d ago

-_- does Call of Duty have to be the scapegoat for everything that went wrong? Starhawk feels like COD in what way?

A Warhawk 2 on the PS4 would be too epic, really hope it happens.

JoySticksFTW4796d ago

Battlefield 4
GTA V

Double oh my goodness.

one2thr4796d ago

OH GOD YES! I was was just playing Warhawk the other day, and couldn't believe how well it aged and stood up against the test of time. And the 4 player split screen online vs others is/was awesome to, heck I shot down a hawk with a sniper rifle<<Epic Win

MysticStrummer4796d ago

Ohhh. Excuse me. I have to go change my shorts. Warhawk was so incredible. Several friends bought PS3s after they saw me playing it.

I wish they would set a specific time for updates and just let it go at that.

MasterChief36245741d ago (Edited 5741d ago )

That would be a great idea. Tonight's update took quite the long time to push out there. Some people even thought Sony forgot about them D:

Sidenote: WTF is with Disney? They took down all their PSOne Classics D:

Lifewish5741d ago

yay for demos, even if one is Quantum Theory

ftwrthtx5741d ago

I've had it and all the boosters since they released. Maybe more new users will jump in now.

KratosGirI5741d ago

I wonder what's available in the EU store later today...

ftwrthtx5741d ago

The Eu list has been added

BeastModeYMOB5741d ago

SUCKS BALLZ! GeoW Knock off gone wrong x 1000! Why would they even attempt to rip off a classic like that? That is 1 game that should have been cancelled!

Sony to Ban Warhawk Tournament Cheaters?

Dylan Jobe, LightBox Interactive president and the "father of Warhawk", revealed via his Twitter account that some Warhawk players might find themselves banned from the PlayStation Network after padding their stats in the latest Warhawk tournament.

MGOelite5890d ago

this is still one of my favorite games

rroded5890d ago

put in a thousand hours+ in the past 3 years n the games still going strong!

LordMarius5890d ago

"at them having ta buy new ps3's"

......umm why?

MGOelite5890d ago

sony can block your entire console from connecting with PSN so you cant even make a new account. very very rare though

Sunny_D5890d ago

They had another tournament??? I was in the first WH GGl tournament. I got the ceremonial blade, my team was number 5.

cLiCK_sLiCK95890d ago

Lol..I just recently downloaded the Warhawk Demo and it lets me play on the tournament severs for free! All maps besides the DLC.

Good. Every cheater deserves banning. Cheaters only ruin good games anyway.

JoelR5890d ago

NUKE EM FROM ORBIT.... IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE.

maniacmayhem5890d ago

He cant make that type of decision, he's just a grunt...no offense.

NateNater5890d ago

By saying "He" are you referring to me? lol

RedPawn5890d ago

It's lines from the movie Aliens.

I guess I should finish it "None taken", in response to Maniac.
