Binoculars - now those are a genius weapon. And you know, when you get someone with it, they could hear the little sound it makes as you set your target, and they know it's all over.

Psssss.. oh SHI....kaBOOM!!!

lol

It's not that hard (well it's only a bronze trophy anyway). Just aim slightly above the warhawk I find is best and try and predict which direction they will move. Of course, if you see a warhawk attacking someone else on the ground it should be easy, they're not trying to dodge your shots :)

My first online game was diablo II (but I mostly played lan)
I played counter strike source for ages and ages, and I thought _that_ was a fun game. Warhawk truly is the best online game I have played. I just love the deep strategy to it. The graphics are pretty bad (the trees! ugh!), the learning curve is steep but when you get into it it really is extremely fun.

There are just so many ways you can take lots of people out, and whereas in other games you would get kicked pos...

Crash Team Racing had a bubble shield.
Yes, resistance 1 had a grenade which threw a bubble out which would repel enemy bullets and let your own pass through. It's slightly different to your usual bubble shield but it's used in the same way.

Graphically, looks very poor to me. But as people keep reminding me, socom has never been about the graphics but the super-addictive and fun gameplay. So we will see :)

Bah I beat this game with my 12 year old sister, single player I don't know I hardly played it lol. I personally like the difficulty of the pixeljunk games; it's easy enough at the start to get into and they are actually a challenge to complete unlike most games nowadays.

Well in omega dawn the only trouble was that the dropship was so unbalanced. I remember them saying that they wanted to create some kind of "multiplayer boss", that the whole team had to work together to take down. And that is true, but only if you load it up with 7 people. BUT you're better off having 1 person piloting it and 6 in warhawks guarding it, because the popup turrets were hopeless. So no one wanted to go in the passenger seats. IF they allowed you to spawn in/parachute o...

So, maybe it is just that PSN is slow at getting content in general, so they'd rather not make the US wait? But many games already have the localisation done when they are released in the US (in terms of different languages), so it is something else I think.

On a side note, I am also mostly happy with the content we get here in UK. We have pretty much the same content as the US, OK so it's often later but it's still a great selection of titles. The only reason people complain is ...

Yeah what an original idea achievement points are. Not. I played the original spyro the dragon how many years before the 360 was released? There may well have been achievements/skill points in games before then, but all insomniac games since then have all had skill points for doing things just like achievement points. I know it adds them up over different games, but it's not a huge leap. If we criticise sony for copying achievments and tacking on a leveling up system, I would criticise MS for...

Hmm.. maybe if we ask them what exactly the problem was, we will find out the reason behind _all_ EU PSN store delays. Because there is some reason that applies to PSN and not XBL.

I would have thought that to put PS1 games onto the store it wouldn't take much effort, surely. I mean, they don't even do proper quality assurance on them (look at medievil, it crashed on the 4th stage until they re-released it). They just need to upload an image of the game disk (I presume). OK so 3rd party games might take a bit of effort, they might not allow it etc. But for first party games there should be no trouble.

Yeah it's just to limit copyright infringement. You can still put pics into the game by printing them out then taking a picture, though, so I don't know if it will do much to stop it. But I suppose, if it were as easy as just copying a jpg off your hard drive everyone would do it. And there would be lawsuits.

With that said, I think the copyright laws need rethinking. I can use 2 keyboard shortcuts to copy any file I choose - is that against copyright? I can upload anything I hav...

I think it's just the character models. In MGO, say, the characters are really detailed, because that's what you're looking at the whole time. If you look at one of the bits in socom where they have a view over the whole map, it looks gorgeous. But the character models let it down IMO.

I hope adding jetpacks won't imbalance the game. I mean, will everyone have a jetpack? I presume it will just be a "vehicle" that you press square to get into. But it will definitely reduce the importance of tanks - in fact tanks might become almost useless if people can always just fly away from you. Which is bad. I trust they can keep this one balanced, though - in omega dawn the dropship was incredibly succeptable to warhawk attacks and the popup turrets did nothing, but broken m...

YES! And now it comes with split-screen as well! And trophies! So I suppose it's coming out soon? From what they said we will at least have a release date soon :)

It's not that. It's that I can't hear _other_ people talking (just garbled noise). I don't know if they can hear me, but they probably can't. I'm just using my playstation eye.

I've not had a game yet on PS3 where the VOIP has worked correctly. Oh maybe resistance did but I didn't have a headset at that point. But motorstorm - garbled noise, warhawk - garbled noise most of the time (so I'm not confident that other people can hear me). Can anyone help me out? Is it my wireless router settings do you think? Or my shoddy connection? Or the games themselves?

nope, no fanboys there yet :O

Yes but I must have played COD4 for 50 hours, tops (on PC), and I got to the maximum level. In fact, on most servers everyone was at the maximum level aside from maybe 1 or 2 people. So there's no incentive to play more. On warhawk I've player over 100 hours and I'm still not halfway up the ranks. All the people at the top rank have played at least 1000 hours. That's why I've stopped playing COD4 and am playing warhawk again. So I imagine with halo 3 it's a similar thing.
