I've been waiting for the 1.2 patch to start playing again.

Why it took until now to patch back in a feature that was present in the beta (ability to set motion control independently for vehicles and Warhawks), I don't know, but I'm glad it's finally back.

That's two. We can decide who's best and then play some rocking 2 on 1 matches!

I bought Warhawk when I got my PS3. Never played it (what a waste). If $8 for this DLC means I'll get some useful time out of the game I'm in. I doubt I'll really get into it though unless there's a scheduled game night (I'm really looking to play with goodjers although I heard the public matches weren't too bad). I just never seem to hook-up with anyone for pick-up games. And I'm also unlikely to get much time on this until after the holiday vacation-family-travel stuff, sometime after the 1st.

Apparently the content is up early, or so I've read.

As for the game, I am one who generally dislikes pickup games online but it works in Warhawk. You can accomplish a fair amount on your own and the vehicles and capture points causes some spontaneous teamwork. I never even bother with a headset, just hop in and have a lot of fun. You should really try it out.

I'll pick this up, I've been wanting to get back into Warhawk for a while now, this seems like as good a time as any.

I was considering selling Warhawk because I figured the bloom was off the rose for most people, but if the new content brings folks back, I'm in... and nicely nestled at the bottom of the kills list.

ok i have a ps3 and have been playing nothing but UT 3 lately but ya if the gwj crew is down for warhawk count me in, just let me know what day/time....weekends are best for me during the week i work from 3 till 11:30 but any late night sessions are welcome as well. just add Inioth to your list of ps3 friends.

*note my ps3 and online have been fighting lately so if im not on Inioth try Dnight

My only problem right now is I'll be swamped until the holidays are over. I'll have to figure out what to do with Warhawk near the end of the month or in January.

I'm with Certis and I think I'll take his suggestion from the podcast and observe a fantasy launch date of Warhawk in early January. "Cool - Warhawk just came out! Wonder if it's as cool as that demo I heard people were playing in December?"

This seems to be the most recent thread. My initial impressions of Warhawk are that it's one of the most impenetrable and worst controlling multiplayer only games I've ever played.

Locked missiles in particular remind me of BF2, where they're essentially scene decorations that have no worth whatsoever. Fire missile, warhawk pops chaff, rinse, repeat. I've seen more kills on Warhawks by tanks than I have AA emplacements.

And that's not even getting into what little infantry combat there is, which tends to work it's way down to who can throw the most land mines into the general area the quickest.

See I don't think it handles even a tenth as good as Crimson Skies did. The flying mechanics are twitchy to the point of frustration. Crimson Skies was always smooth and easy to get into. This is, well I guess I already used the word. Impenetrable. The damage models just don't make any sense and the flying is so spastic I don't know how anybody that's not twelve ever gets a handle on it.

The warhawks seem to be good, but apparantly only after you've lived on the game for a few days. I lost count of the number of times I hovered over enemy infantry, nailing them with machinegun fire from the air.. only to watch their health go down in teensy little bits and then my guns overheat.
