Looking at the big power ups for the Warhawks, the gameplay looks a little too simplistic for my tastes. To anyone who played the game, would you say that' s the case, or is there some hidden depth that you can only see when playing the game?

Not just depth, but skill and knowledge play a big part in being succesful in a warhawk. It by no means is a " get power ups and blow shit up" scenario. A lot of the weapons need to be used situationally and if used in specific areas can go from useless to devastating. In the beta, I was one of the few people who could effectively take out multiple ground targets without being shot down. Meanwhile, taking out opposing warhawks became not only a matter of getting the drop, but laying mines effectively, using flak to evade lock ons, and most importantly chasing them where you want them to go.

There is a lot more depth than it could appear from the video' s or quick gameplay demonstrations. For some, it is a simple shooter with planes, but for those that have played so many multiplayer FPS over the years, there is depth to be found, and tactics that can be put into use very effectively without destroying the balance of the game.

did you think setting the controls to advanced improved your play?

Yes i use advanced for sure.

I' ll rent it first, it looks like a great game but I think it' s the open areas that turns me off. There' s nowhere to hide.

Been playing this quite alot, surprisingly.

You fancy teaming up at some point this week?

CoD4 is consuming most of my time online but i' ll free up a few hours if you wanna get your ..hawk on...

ah you push L3 to talk.

That took way to long to figure out.

Got the bundle pack today, the pal box innerart + disc are very nice.

Just got my comp fixed so now I can post here more freely. Had to use the ps3 for internet for a while there.

Anyhow, I' m up for Warhawk this weekend, I have the next couple days off. I already played with Silent a bit earlier, sadly he was on the recieving end of my homing missile turret.

Had my best run today, 5 team wins in a row, as well as being round winner in 4 of them.

Yah, it wasn' t the best, it looks just fine, and works fine, it even is a bit nicer than firefox/exlporer because you can zoom so easily etc, the main problem is the longer load times and slower address entry. For people w/o a comp hooked up to their Theatre system it is handy I' m sure.

On the flip side, my 360 didn' t help me with my internet crisis at all, though it did offer plenty of games to take up my time. However, after weeks of being neglected because of my gaming on the 360, the ps3 has pulled it self back on top thanks to my Warhawk addiciton. I' m sure Halo 3 will settle the score though.

Ah I didnt know you killed me, the messages are a bit small to read and I dont bother anyway as there is so much going on the screen. We should set up a kikizo game something when enough people will play!

Nobody talks in this anymore, the beta was full of talkers but now nothing, I want to see if my headsets works god dammit!

i am TOTALLY up for some WARHAWK ACTION

Just played some Warhawk and Majik jumped into the game too, He was kicking my ass in terms of personal scores but I beat him in the leaderboards!

Damn the time difference, I' ve gotten into a few games with Silent and Nekkid Monkey, but I have yet to see you online Nitro.

What' s Nekkid Monkey psn?
