Cool, looks like I'll finally pick this up. Always good to have a few solid games available on the HD.

Yeah there is still plenty of action... just finished up a 6 1/2 hour session.

You still have a over a month and a 1/2 to catch up to me - I promise - I won't even pick up a PS3 controller the entire time!

It's so easy to find 5 hours has evaporated. I remember, on more than one occassion, the wife and kid going out for a couple of hours and I'd think, "Heh, I'll just play a quick game of Warhawk". Then, they walk back through the door - I look up, "What are you doing home so early". Dirty look from the wife, "We've been gone for four hours".

I haven't confirmed this yet, but I"m pretty sure Warhawk transports the player to another dimension where time goes at least 3 times faster and also places an invisible weight on the user - preventing them from getting up and using the restroom or getting a drink (unless said drink is alcoholic).

Anybody else witness this phenomena?

Operation: Broken Mirror Expansion

Operation: Broken Mirror has gone “gold” and will be available in the Playstation Store on April, 17th for $7.99 !!

To celebrate the release of our second Booster-Pack, our fine friends on the Playstation Store team have agreed to run a limited-time sale on Warhawk for just $29.99. This is a crazy-good deal and I can’t wait to get an influx of new players — But a warning to all you hardcore Warhawk players…please be gentle!!!

Ok…to kick things off, scope the video below – it’s the trailer for our second booster-pack, Operation: Broken Mirror!

Watch Trailer

Granted, you probably just watched the video but in case you didn’t, here’s a quick summary of what Operation Broken 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.

First let me write a bit about the new battlefield.

So yes, finally it’s a snow level…something that everyone has been asking for. And no…our next expansion will not feature a lava-level !!

It does feature dynamic weather so in some screenshots you will see the sun is shining, there are shadows and very little, if any snow falling. In others, you may notice that the weather conditions have changed. When the sun is behind the clouds, the snow is stronger, whipping back and forth, the shadows flatten and the lighting becomes more diffuse. And yes… the weather state is synchronized across the network.

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.

~burrr~

“I’m so cold….so very, very cold…”

While our last booster pack, Operation: Omega Dawn sold really well (thanks to all of you) and was received very positively, some players on the Warhawk forums did voice a concern that the Omega Factory battlefield was too large!! Something that I must admit I was surprised to hear but nevertheless, it came from our player community so we took it very seriously.

So…we took a different approach with Vaporfield Glacier. The naked battlefield is in-fact larger that Omega Dawn. However, we decided to include twice as many layouts so that we could provide players with more variety in small and medium maps. We also included something else that our community has been requesting for quite sometime — asymmetrical layouts.

So like I was saying, Vaporfield Glacier battlefield is large but it’s carved-up into a bunch of smaller layouts that would provide players with a lot of layout variation. Here are the layouts that you’ll get with Operation: Broken Mirror:

We’re really happy with the way these layouts play and hope all of you enjoy them as well. I was also really glad that SONY was cool with us doubling the number of layouts without increasing the price.

As you know from our previous Booster-Pack we like to “retro-fit” the new vehicles into the core battlefields to keep things fresh. In Operation: Omega Dawn, we included the Dropship into each of the big layouts from the 5 original core battlefields as “bonus” layouts.

Well…this time around, we really wanted to increase the number of bonus layouts because the APCs play really well on both large and medium layouts. So I’m happy to say that Operation: Broken Mirror includes not 5 but 10 bonus layouts that feature the APCs.

Now…on to the APCs. And they are jam-packed with Yummy Gameplay Goodness! I should trademark that so that I can say something like “our new booster features YGG technology!”

…but I digress.

APCs – They have a ton of features so here’s a quick YGG summary:

• APCs support a driver and 6 other troops in “pop-up” hatches that allow troops to use their own weapons, making the APC like a customizable weapons platform.
• APCs act as mobile spawn points for your team so you can setup field bases, help coordinate ground assaults, and spawn directly into them as another player is driving them around.
• When you spawn into an APC, your troop is rewarded with an additional weapon based on an internal loot-table.
• APCs can activate a huge shield by placing an E-POD.
• APCs have a boost ability that not only allows them to traverse distances more quickly, but it also acts as a ram-attack that obliterates other vehicles (except the tank because of its super-heavy armor).

I’m probably gonna have to respond to a lot of comments and questions from this post so that you can get some specific answers. So let ‘em rip!

Oh, and because I know someone is going to ask me…”why is this booster pack called Broken Mirror?”

Well… and maybe this gives too much exposure into how my mind works (or doesn’t work I guess), I found the fracture patterns of broken glass very similar to the crystalline structures of ice and snow — So there…”Broken Mirror”

0052 - 006F - 0063 - 006B - 004F - 006E - 0021

very good

can you mix APCs and dropships on the same map.

Sniper rifle: Just shoot at those things. It can take down a Warhawk easily if you hit it... I think 1 or 2 shots maybe. I have never taken down a gun or tank though.

As for the binoculars, hit R1 once you are looking at what you want to blow up. You have to hold it steady for about 3-4 seconds (you'll see a green bar fill up) and then BOOM!

Ah, after I posted that's what I thought might be the case--I saw he said he was playing but didn't see "Colorado Blu Skies" anywhere :-D

Good games last night, had a blast and gained like 1200 points.

well i think you should be able to if you want to.

cos in my oppinion a multiplayer with more veichles is a better multiplayer.


ohh and is the player count going to increase cos R2 is trying to get 60 players which would be good with warhawk as it needs more avalible players, i mean with both APCs/dropships full theres already 18 people doing one thing.
And as the maps get bigger you need more people to play in them.

Yeah, if you can beat Vektar, you're in.

BTW Vektar, nice of you to be the punching bag in that 4 on 1 (then 2) game last night (my last one).

It was fun last night.

Oh, as to sniping a Warhawk (LOL), it takes 3 sniper shots if the Warhawk has full health. And when you do it, make sure you talk crap to the pilot in-between games.

Last night I killed a Warhawk pilot 3 times in one map with grenades. That means you're flying your Warhawk like you're a troop with a rifle.

[Colorado Blu Skies]

LOL... same here I had at least 3 kills with grenades. I racked up at least 1800 points last night... it was a good time last night.

CYMBOL if I have nights like last night everytime I play I'll catch up real quick

I am probably going to be playing again on and off all day, but on for a while later tonight.

[vektar]

i owned in that last game i killed like 5 people in a row trying to get the flag. it was great, love those free points.
