So who's playing Warhawk?
- Thread starter BoardBonobo
- Start date
I'm still waiting for my preorder to arrive, go figure
.During the beta, I used to practice Warhawks by creating private games on maps with bridges or arcs. It turned out to be quite fun actually, a little antisocial of course.
I can't believe people aren't rioting over absence of matchmaking. It doesn't have to be perfect, even random is fine, but this server selection thing is so last gen/PC, The option for ranked matches should have been there.
Love the Warhawk.
Just learning my way, and I usually really really suck at online games, but this is just so much fun. I think I'm more of a ground troop though The skilled players shoot me down too soon.
Flying with the SIXAXIS works great!
Graphically very impressive, even more so that this was just a €30 purchase!
Definitely worth the wait. I do miss the single player campaign, hopefully a downloadable extra some day.
Just 5 maps, but I think it's only good at the beginning. You get to learn those maps and that makes the games more enjoyable you knowing where to go and where the better weapons are.
Well done Incognito!

My friends are telling me Warhawks rocks--cool. The more games like this the better
32 for both. In practice depends on your bandwidth.
Apart from bandwidth, does Warhawk run in a way that you can play + server 31 other players? On some PC games you can do this with no problem (I have played on my PC with BF1942 and servers 63 before) but other games are really CPU intensive and you get a realistically lower cap when not running a ded server.
If 32, cool!
Game lets you host a player server with 31 other players. Does it affect gameplay even with sufficient bandwidth? I wouldn't know. My upload peaks around 90 kB/s and lag was quite noticeable around 20 players. But I'll be surprised if the server ever becomes CPU limited as the hardware is fixed and the option is there.
I updated the PS3 firmware to 1.92 and bang, Warhawk can't connect to the network 99% of the time. Also even after playing 10 or so matches on different ranked servers (the SCEE ones in blue with a trophy next to the name, those are ranked right?) I still have zero stats and so on.
Other than that, it's a mighty fun game, but I can't understand how ranks, medals and all that are so hard to get working. I just can't.

This is where online only gaming sucks. If you can't get online for whatever reason, you gaming dollars are wasted. Offline campaign games always let you get some value playing them offline. If a firmware busts you machine, that'll be a crazy aggravation. Certainly it would make me run around the streets in despair. That's way too PC like for my tastes. Consoles are supposed to just work!
Same for my friend, he gets ranks nicely. I don't, and apparently neither do an assload of people.
Agreed. And it's not like the actual network gaming doesn't work - it does just perfectly when you can frigging LOG IN.
What surprises me here is that again the game refused to let me log in, but as soon as I turned the PS3's power completely off (the switch in the back) and restarted the console, everything works just fine. And like I said earlier, the problems began after I updated to 1.92.

does Warhawk default to 720p or 1080i if you have both checked? if it defaults to 1080i, has anyone compared 720p vs 1080i?
I received my copy after the update and had the same issue. However the problem disappeared after deleting the cache. What cache you might ask, that would be Internet Browser cache.
Puzzling indeed.
I think 720p is the default when it's enabled but I don't know about the interlaced mode,
You may want to check out the upscaling thread.
It will default to 720p. You will need to uncheck 720p in the PS3 display setup in order for it to default to 1080.
As for deleting the cache, you can also log out and then back in and that should solve the network timed out error....err, at least it worked for me. I know that a lot of people are having difficulty signing into PSN to begin with since the 1.92 firmware, so this might not be the best solution.
