Just me?

It happened to me a week or 2 ago

that happened to me a few hours ago.

Maybe has something to do with preperations for the new FW 2.4

Sorry I've been MIA -- we have been just cranking on our new updates for all of you; the v1.4 Patch, the v1.5 Patch and yes...our next booster pack.

The team and I have been watching the internets light up with discussions about the trophies in 240 and we thought it was good idea that you got an update straight from the horses mouth...me being the horse I guess :-)

So...YES, hot trophy action for Warhawk is on the horizon!

Since Warhawk released almost a year ago now, we will be patching-in support for the new trophy system. The reason I mention this is because there has been some talk about Warhawk trophies super-auto-magically going LIVE late tonight when the firmware is released. This is not the case. I know the press release stated that Warhawk trophies were going to be patched-in, but I just wanted to clarify for everyone.

We are right on the cusp of making some big announcements for Warhawk, including our upcoming patches and new booster-pack and while I can't talk about any of those right now (you will need to wait like a week or so) I can talk a bit about our trophy support in the v1.5 patch.

First off, there are 56 trophies included in the Warhawk v1.5 Patch. These are broken down into a couple of categories:

• There are 10 trophies based on the Warhawk's current stats/rank/awards system. Like getting all your Bronze badges, attaining a specific rank, or earning a number of medals.
• There are 34 trophies that are entirely *new* rewards based on Warhawks core game and not based on our current stats, ranks or other awards.
• There are then 4 trophies per booster pack that are, of course, completely new awards.

Developing 56 new trophies was a really fun part of the v1.5 production cycle...but 10 of them are based on stats and awards that you, our community may have already earned -- so that's why we made sure that those 10 trophies based on our core stats system would be paid out retroactively. Meaning, that once the v1.5 patch is released, and if you've already earned the requirements for those trophies *bling*bling*bling* Warhawk will pay them out to you!

Lastly, cause I know everyone will be asking the obvious question, when is the v1.5 Patch coming out...we haven't even *officially* announced the v1.4 Patch!!!???

All I am allowed to say is that the v1.4 Patch is very, very, very close to being released and we actually developed the v1.5 Patch in parallel, but staggered, with the v1.4 Patch. The reason we did this is because there are stuffs in the v1.4 Patch that we wanted to get out to everyone ASAP...but the v1.5 patch isn't that far behind!

Hopefully that clears things up!

I didn't even know that was something that was tracked. I'm a 2nd Lt and I have no idea how I did half the stuff - I guess if you play the game for a few hundred hours, sooner or later you'll perform that manevuer. . . . I know, I make a horrible officer.

I'll have to check out that stat on my own profile.

Not sure if it you have to be in stealth mode while in a warhawk (or if you have to kill somebody with the stealth like you have to with chaff????)

Maybe you have to kill an aircraft while it's in stealth mode. . . .

[JonD7]

i've killed alot of people running away in a warhawk using stealth, mostly with homing missles, the electric charge or air mines, haha, i've played for over 600 hours... hmm... i'm also having a tough time with about 5 ribbons I haven't gotten yet, hahaha

Let us know what they are - I'm sure people have strategies that might help.

[vektar]

ive never really tried to get any bages, ribbions or medels before i just play just to play but i would like the be a cpt. one day that just sounds cool. and i want everyone to call me cpt if i ever get there.

[Copywriter]

I knew I'd have to play this game for a few more minutes.

Darn trophies.

[JonD7]

the ones I remember are... 10 kill streak, 10 road kills and 10 kills each in a warhawk, vehicil and as a troop, and combat service I think... which is just driving around in a jeep while someone gets kills with the machine gun, I forgot which ones the others are.

i'm terrible at getting medals, I only have about 4 of them.

and I never knew about 100% aim and pro flight untill you mentioned it Cymbol... wow, i'm getting alot more kills now, although i'm kind of terrible at pro flight, takes some getting used to... without it now tho I feel like my controller isn't as responsive.

We knew you would too

I can't wait for the trophies! And where do you guys see the "stealth kills" spec listed? I look at my profile from time to time and I have never noticed that stat.

Not that you need it (I think you shot me down a few times last game. . . . but I'm a HORRIBLE pilot, so don't let your head get too big )

This should help - it has been a HUGE help to me and works great.

This rocks! Back to the battlefield and get some more trophies.

Since Warhawk can't be paused for in-game messaging - I see a lot of people getting knifed in the future.
