PS3 Saturday Night Shooter: WARHAWK
Takeshi | 2:00 PM on 09.12.2009 21 comments






Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Saturday again. Which means we get together to play one single kick-ass shooter for the whole night. Or at least for a long time. Last week we had a blast playing Resistance 2 CO-OP. Which also means SNS was a success. This week we're gonna check if Warhawk is still the great shooter we all know (spoiler: it is!).


WARHAWK

Game name: Dtoid-SNS Password: TOID Time: 9:30 EST Host: Elsa (PSN: Elsa)


I'm going to mold SNS into something a bit different next week. Maybe let people vote whatever Shooter they really want to play on Saturday. Because honestly I don't really know who will play with us tonight. And I certainly don't want to be the guy who decides what we're gonna play and cram a game down everybody's throat. But I know out of experience that people are a bit lazy and rather want to see someone else create something and decide for them.

There are a couple of other things too. I know a few people would rather play on Sunday. Elsa is always having romantic dinners with an Old Snake look-a-like. Shipero is usually doing something else and I don't really care but I have to stay up 'till 9 am two days in a row rendering my well earned weekend almost completely useless (meaning I can't play on Sundays).

Now I need to shave my head and face because I look like a Gibbon. So if I don't show up at 9, I might have drowned myself in my imaginary bathtub.

Dtoid, get your games on! But most of all have fun!

(p.s. I couldn't create a theme for this week because I kind of did that yesterday already. I got a great idea for next week so keep your eyes peeled).

Also, I couldn't get a hold of Elsa. So she might not be able to host.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
I can be back up host... I can only host 16 (sometimes only 12 if my cable is being fussy) and sometimes the connection is good, but sometimes distance can create lag. I'll definitely be in for the game tonight... and my old Snake look-a-like just made Commander last night, so he'll be there too (he's Monngoose).

If it's ok, I may also invite one or two other friends that enjoy a more casual fun game as well. Let me know if this would be a problem. Is the password going to be "TOID' again?) Oh, and let me know if you want me to set up the game... otherwise I'll just wait for you to do it (and who hosted last time, because they had an AWESOME connection).
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Ah there you are! (just sent you a message on PSN)

Yeah, I forgot I don't have my regular connection back so it would be great if you can host it. I can host pretty much every game with the exception of Warhawk. Shipero (last time host) can't host games on Saturday plus he's out this whole weekend.

Thanks!

Well I'm not going to be here anyways. Have fun though. This better be a resounding success because I'll be wanting to play Warhawk some upcoming weekend :P
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
@Elsa

And please invite everybody you want. More = Better.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
If I'm hosting, can we change the time to 9:30 EST? That's 6:30pm my time and I'm going out for dinner at 5pm, so this means not so much a rush. I'll try and set the game up earlier if I can. I'll also invite a few extras! (and can you also add in the game details:)
Game name: Dtoid-SNS (player unranked)
Password: TOID
Time: 9:30 EST (8:30 cen, 6:30 pacific)

Hope we get a decent turn out!
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
I really need to get this game. I didn't think so many people still played it -- I got rid of it when people wouldn't communicate, despite the fact that it came with a headset.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
@Elsa
You can do whatever you want! I'll edit it right now.

@pedrovay
That's what a lot of people think. Which is basically the reason I created this. There a substantial amount of Dtoiders that have the game. But to be honest the communication in the game isn't very good. But the game itself is good fun.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
oh... and just an added note, but I'll use core maps for the first half of the rotation in case someone doesn't have the expansion packs. Jetpacks later in the rotation! :)
ElectroZack's Destructoid Blog
Cool I just bought this game today! Maybe I will join if there are no objections to an easy target.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
ElectroZack.. no objections at all! :)

... and feel free to ask questions, people don't mind helping you out if you have a question about anything!
Black Nexus's Destructoid Blog
I'll be there.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
I won't be there tonight, I'm not a warhawk fan at all, unfortunately.

But, make sure you guys/gals have a blast and enjoy the shit out of the game. I'll catch you people next week for R2(hopefully) ;)
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Mushman, R2 is coming back. Guaranteed!
Zippyduda's Destructoid Blog
I wish I hadn't stopped reading most blogs :( It's just too hard to keep up and I stopped a few weeks back, they go so fast it's crazy (as I used to keep up).

Reason I say that is didn't even know you did an SNS (well you've only done 1 and it was a game I don't have).

ANYWAY, I'll stop rambling, Takeshi what else were you thinking of for SNS? Games off the top of my head, MGS, COD, GTA, SOCOM, Battlefield 1943/BC.

I do still read the odd few and FNF's :]
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Mostly games that are good but forgotten. So no games that we're playing on FNF. Good examples are Warhawk and Resistance 2.

Metal Gear Online wouldn't work because the servers are 2 way region locked. You'll need an American disc and an American IP. So that's definitely not going to work. Also Battlefield 1943 is still kinda broken. I can't play that game for more than one hour before I get fed up with no voice-chat and loosing people left and right. Bad Company would do for sure but I don't know how many people actually have that game. Hell, we could even play Resistance: Fall of Man. It really depends on what everybody wants. I could say Unreal Tournament III or something but that wouldn't make any sense if nobody has or wants to play it.

Plus it has to be a game we can all play for a substantial amount of time. Because that's another reason I created this. Sometimes you're having a blast on FNF but you have to switch games because of the rotation. I want to give Dtoiders the opportunity to play a game for a long time with and have a great night. It might happen that you can't join because you don't have the game but I want to change games every week. That way everybody gets the opportunity to play.

And preferably a game Elsa sucks at. She destroyed everybody tonight. Which brings me to another subject...

Thanks Elsa for hosting and everybody else for playing! I think we had a full room but I'm not sure. Even Sadistic showed up tonight. Oh and Qraze is a fucking asshole! Hahaha. If only I wouldn't suck so much. Damn, I couldn't remember the controls I forgot the color of my team (I was shooting my team-mate like crazy in one match). In most games Red = Bad but not in Warhawk. It depends on what side you are. That happens when you're playing Killzone 2 all night and switch games.

Thanks!
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
Takeshi... part of your suckage you can blame on lag... you had the highest ping there (us being pretty much on opposite sides of the world) so you have a valid excuse! :)

Yeah, that was a lot of fun tonight! Hope people don't mind that I also invite some GAP people along to help fill out the numbers - but it seemed to have worked out well tonight as most everyone was at the same playing level. We usually have an open unranked game every Thursday night at 7pm pacific (9 central/ 10 eastern) and the game name usually starts with "GAP" - it's open unranked and split screen is enabled if anyone wants to bring a couch buddy! We'd love to see some Dtoid people join in if they want... everyone is welcome, though we usually rank cap it around Major.

Oh... and I have UT3 and kinda suck at it... but would love to play some DM or TDM or even CTF - but I never got the hang of the bigger game!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Elsa, if someone says he sucked you have to say "You were actually pretty good!". Haha! But honestly I didn't experience any lag on my end. And I don't really suck at Death Matches on small maps but most of the maps I have never seen before let alone what the hell I need to do. Which is fine by me because everything looks fun and goofy in that game and I play it to have a good time not to have a good score.

UT3 would work I guess because I know quite a few people have it. But we'll decide throughout next week. I think of something to let everybody decide. We might see Sadistic again too because he is "UNSTOPPABLE" in that game.

Anyway, good times were had. On to next week!
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
LOL! Ok Takeshi... you were awesome!! Actually I usually congratulate the game winner but rarely notice where everyone else (including myself) places, so I was just taking your word on the suckage thing! I do check pings a lot when I'm hosting though, because one person with a ping of around 400 or 500 can crash the whole server (which sucks when that happens). You were riding around 250ish... so I'm glad to hear you didn't have any problems picking up weapons and I never noticed any actual lag - but it does actually make a small difference. I know that when I host and have a 0 ping... I almost always do just a teeny bit better with those one on one battles! :)

(oh, and I do remember you saving my ass a few times!) :)
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
hahaha. sorry for the rapening, i should have switched teams to be on your team every other match.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
"(oh, and I do remember you saving my ass a few times!) :)"

YES! Mission accomplished! But no I sucked really. I knew in advance you would be good so I was paying attention to other like Qraze, he was destroying me and pretty much everybody else. I have to say I was a bit disappointed by Old Snake. Haha! I guess he just takes it easy on us youngsters. Except the first match when he blew me in the face with his rockets. It was seriously right in the face. I spawned, turned around and all I saw was a rocket in my face. It took me longer to yell HOLY FUCK!! than I saw the rocket.

But yeah, I know how high pings can destroy games. We've had that before when somebody came in with a ping of 9999. Nobody could move anymore and all we saw was Shipero zooming across the map stabbing everyone. Shipero was even having a hard time kicking the guy.

But 0.2 seconds isn't too bad compared to 0.15 from the rest and the 0.057 your husband had.
