Warhawk Update!
Trev | 3:31 PM on 05.20.2008 9 comments




Game Director Dylan Jobe has announced that the update will be going live today some time from 5:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. GMT.

* By popular demand, playlists which include the largest layouts now include only the largest layouts. They will no longer occasionally rotate into medium layouts.

* By popular demand, respawn times have been set to 3 seconds.

* By popular demand, Broken Mirror servers now offer dedicated CTF and ZNS games in place of the mixed playlists.

* Dogfight servers were added back to the list. They were inadvertently omitted before.

* All games' time limits were reduced to 15 minutes, and ZNS score limit was reduced to 5000, to combat complaints of prolonged base camping.

* "NEWBIE" servers were changed to Rookie to bring the nomenclature in line with upcoming changes in v1.4.

* "Pro" servers were changed to Expert to more obviously indicate a skill level rather than a player type. Some players incorrectly identified "Pro" servers as tournament games, a la MLG or GGL.

* "Casual" servers are essentially the same as before, but the "Casual" designator has been dropped. We now refer to these internally as just standard servers, and they are listed without any special identifier.

* The rank cap on Rookie servers was increased to Wingman, since players were getting kicked out of these servers too quickly and finding themselves unprepared to play on standard servers.

* A rank cap was imposed on standard servers at Command Marshall. This is rank 15/19 so it should not affect a lot of players. The intention is to pull some of the most elite players out into their own category, somewhat narrowing the rank gap on these servers.

* Many Omega Dawn exclusive servers were removed due to lack of use.

I stole-ish this news from here.

P.S.: Hey, Opera users, WTF is up with everything being centered when it isn't in other browsers?

Warhawk is one of the games I really wish I had the chance to play on my 360. As it stands, it'll likely be one of my first PS3 purchases when I get around to buying one.

Good to know it's still being supported.

Maybe I can actually download this one. I haven't been able to play Warhawk in a long while since it refuses to download the current update (and I've been too lazy to call Sony about it).

MrS,brainDerail: You guys are crazy!

I still play Warhawk almost everyday. It's one of the few games that is consistently fun to play, no matter house many times I go back to it. Dogfights are a personal joy of mine, so I really get off on spiraling around the sky, dodging 3-4 other Warhawks while shooting missiles and dropping flares.
