Dylan Jobe has updated his blog, and it reveals A TON of new information about the upcoming patch. While the last two patches were mainly to fix server problems and other glitches, this patch actually includes TWO new ground pick-ups, along with some other really cool features. ALOT of Copypasta to follow.
#1 Mechanic’s Field Wrench: As you might expect, this piece of equipment is used to repair vehicles. Once you get the pickup, you swing it just like the combat blade. Then, just walk up to, or onto an allied vehicle and “whack” it with the wrench. It repairs wicked fast so it’s very effectively during combat. On the offensive side, not only is it still a one-hit-kill against troops, but it can be used to damage enemy vehicles as well! 
#2 Bio-Field Generator: To use a Bio-Field, grab the pick up and throw it down like a proximity mine. It sticks to walls, ceilings, anything…including vehicles. Then, if any ally stands within its bio-reactive field, his health will quickly regen. Alternatively, and this is where some neat tactics emerge, if an enemy walks into the bio-field (yes, bio-fields are color coded), they’ll take damage – their lungs sizzling like bacon….mmmmm bacon. 
This new equipment makes life as a ground troop more balanced, and we’re really looking forward to seeing how the battlefield changes once the patch is released! 
#3 HOME Game Launching: Yeah Baby…So our HOME integration is coming along nicely and this update includes a great, and much needed feature for Warhawk. With the release of v1.3 patch, players will be able to form groups, meet in their apartments, discuss tactics, and then launch a game of Warhawk…all together! When you’re in your apartment, all you do is whip-out your virtual PSP, select ‘create game’ and pick Warhawk. From there, you get to start your own player server, pick a game rotation, set server options and then…BAM !! Launch Warhawk with all of your friends!! You can also pick to not make your game viewable to the other Warhawk players around the world, or you can make it a ‘public’ game that puts all of your friends into the server together, and leaves open slots for other global Warhawk players join. Games launched from HOME show up in the global games list in an attactive gold color. 
Now this is just the beginning of what we’re gonna to be doing with HOME and there’s some really neat stuff on the horizon. I’d love to show you more of the cool HOME stuff that we’re working on but I suspect I’d get a PR-shank to the spine…or possibly a lung. So I gotta say that I’m actually super relieved that we’re putting in *REAL* legit value for players and *NOT* making HOME a portal for SONY to jam branding and marketing schwag down player’s throats! As a gamer, I’m excited *and* relieved to see the direction HOME is taking. #4 New VOIP Options: We have also received a lot of feedback about VOIP stuff. There were a couple of features that players really wanted, and hopefully this gives them a big chunk of their crazy, crazy VOIP desires. We now allow players to select between PTT and Open-Mic. Players can also tune the voice-activation level so they don’t accidentally broadcast their girlfriend or boyfriend blabbering-on in the background. Players also now get to more clearly see who’s talking. It’s displayed on the right side of the screen. And yes, the picture below is correct. We also now support an “all-talk” server option so that you can enable cross-team trash talk. 
What else…oh yeah, we now display which player is speaking at the score screen too. And…we let you pick players from the score screen to mute/un-mute their VOIP #5 New Paint Schemes & Insignias: If you’re an avid Warhawk player and/or read this blog with any regularity, then you know that we are sponsoring a contest that allows players to submit their own, custom, paint schemes for the Nemesis and Warhawk. We’re also allowing players to submit custom insignias too. We’ll be picking the winners and including these new customizations with the v1.3 patch. Now I’m not posting these because they have already won…but these are some neat designs and I wanted the blog readers to see some of the great paint schemes that have been coming in.  
  
And one last thing…we want insignias too. Send us your insignias…and please DO NOT just scan something out of a magazine. Seriously! Well that’s it for now, there are some other features in the new patch too, like some new server options, but we’re not sure if we’re going to ship them or not. They need more play testing. So this patch is a big update for Warhawk: New troop equipment, HOME Game Launching, VOIP updates and player-created customizations! ~guy in back of room yells “yeah, yeah….but when’s it coming out”~ We’re testing the Warhawk v1.3 patch right now and we’ll update you on timing in another post. Sorry I can’t be more specific…you know how it goes. As soon as I have the “official” release date, I’ll let everyone know. So, what do you guys think? Pretty cool huh? Via PlayStation Blog

Or you could just get in tanks and blow things up.
The all talk feature is sorely needed. Although, what they should do is have constant talking on and push-to-team-talk PTTT. That way you can do tactics still if you want. Or Switch it up. Team talk all the time and push for global talk. That would be cool.
The wrench and bio-field generators will add another layer of complexity to the game. Should be interesting to see what happens.
@Krypt, I totally agree on the expansion map being free and I paid for it. I want to be able to play with everyone. I don't care if I subsidized their game. Just get everyone on there.
What a wonderful world!
: )
Eh?
Or do what i do, Take out all the birds from the ground ;)
Does anyone get the feeling this game is like some unappreciated wonder? i mean the last upgrade was crazy but THIS!!!! lets have it.....
