Fresh on the heels of Sony's surprise announcement that Warhawk would be offered with a limited-time discount ($29 until 4/15), comes the official release date for the game's latest expansion pack, Operation: Broken Mirror.
According to Sony's blog, the pack will be available for purchase on the PlayStation Store on April 17th, and will set you back $7.99. You can watch the video and see for yourself, but here's what parting with that hard-earned cash entitles you to:
-10 bonus layouts for battlefields from the original game, so you can play with APCs.
-10 layouts on Vaporfield Glacier, a new Winter battlefield.
-2 new Armored Personnel Carriers (Chernovan and Eucadian styles).
The expansion definitely looks inviting, but I guess we're still feeling spoiled by Epic's freebie map pack announced on yesterday. Free is free, and that's a hard act to follow. Do you guys plan on buying this?
Yeah I'm with Sasistic on this..Don't know If I'll get it because I hardly used the last one..but then again..I'm easy like that and will probably get it.
Don’t bother, Gameboi. A bunch of us bought the Omega Dawn expansion pack, but we never use the new map because all the people who don’t have it get kicked off the server when it comes up in the rotation. And as far as we’re concerned, it’s always about the turnout. Playing on Omega Dawn with 5 people — when you were playing on Destroyed Capitol a minute ago with 10 people — is just no fun.
I don't participate in FNF or WNW... for... some reason I haven't figured out yet, but I'm definitely going to pick up Broken Mirror. It's supporting some people that made a game I thoroughly enjoy and I want the new stuff.
What he said. Haven't gone with the expansion pack, mostly since it works on my buddy's acct he uses on my ps3 (and activated it) but not with mine. Curse your account-specific addons!
But they really should have just combined this with the Omega Dawn expansion and had a price point of $9.99. I feel $7.99 is too much for a just a map + vehicle. Two maps and two vehicles though would've been sexy.

I totally wanted a mountainous snow level from the beginning. It's pretty much the only environment type they didn't have besides industrial.
I wonder if your feet will make snow prints?
Only problem is... I don't have a headset if I download it.
