Wow, I haven't played Warhawk for a while now, but I'm looking to get back in.
If there's space in the clan, I'd like to join and play with some people from GAF.

AAAAAARGH! WTF!?
I'm getting progressively worse at playing warhawk, I'm getting knifed when I have a fecking flamethrower and people grenade my ass when I try to knife them, I'm losing machine gun skirmishes on the ground and I'm getting killed by n00b mines.
And I'm playing shite in all my games just booted up Pro Evo and couldn't control the ball nevermind score.

WARHAWK COMPETITION
"Calling all trench monkeys, starting next week, we will be running a Warhawk Competition open to 32 Three Speech users. There will be two preliminary sessions of 16 people with a final featuring the top four from each group, thus eight in total.
Listen closely as this is about to get detailed.
The first preliminary session will take place on Monday December 10 at 5pm (GMT) and will be made up of three games. The first two will be 10 minute warm ups - death matches. The third game will be a 15 minute dogfight to ensure its a level playing field. The top four players from the dogfight will proceed to the final.
The second preliminary session will take place on Wednesday December 12, also at 5pm (GMT) and will be in the same format as the first preliminary session.
The final will take place on Friday December 14, again at 5pm (GMT), with eight finalists. There will be one 10 minute warm up game which will be a free for all. The final game to decide the first, second and third places will be a 20 minute dogfight.
The games need to start at 5pm (GMT) to ensure we can monitor the winners of each round. The password will only be given out to the 16 people playing in each game and we will need everybodys PSN ID so that we can verify the correct people are playing. Players can only take part on their allocated day.
To take part please make sure you will be available to play at 5pm (GMT) on all days and mail us at blog@threespeech.com with your name and PSN ID, so we can confirm your place in the respective game and send you the password.
The first, second and third place winners will receive a rather nice Warhawk trophy"

And I just saw the video of the dropship firing those side guns and OH CHRIST I'VE FUKKIN CUM
Yeah, just caught that myself. Very nice. It's going to add a whole new dimension to the game. Still, a packed dropship could be an excellent way to rack up turret kills.
Unlimited swarm missiles for passengers looks interesting too.

Can't wait for the omega pack to release. Should be freakin sweet, I believe that warhawk really needs an update like this to really exceed expectations. This game had a slow start, but this update, will pick up the pace very quickly.
Yay, down to under 800 air-to-vehicle kills left for the last badge, god damn.
Got another hundred, and finally got to face off against JAC247. He's the first pilot I've met that's really owned me hard. I killed him once, he killed me about ten times. Made him work for it though.

No, then you'd be Voltron or Getter Robo.
Jesus.
Last time I logged in, I looked at the leader boards.
Sea Manky is a few days shy of a complete month's worth of playing Warhawk. :X

anyone else's ps3 freeze up when trying to look at their Stats Over Time? Done it to me now twice in a row :/
Actually, I've been skipping a day here and there lately, although yesterday I did put in a marathon session.
But yeah, Warhawk has turned out to be my favorite online game ever. It's like the game was made for me. It's really weird, I've never ever been this good at a competitive game before. :X

Yeah, but I played netrek for far longer and was never better than a middle of the road player. Played arcade Street Fighter for many years and wasn't tournament level. Played lots of first person shooters and I'm still laughably bad at them. Warhawk just seems to have the perfect combination of gameplay elements I'm good at. Awesome air combat <3 <3 <3

I thought I was bad with like 50~ish hours lol. Most of a game I played in a long time (besides MMOs).
Saw some videos on JP store of people playing warhawk. Was funny to watch.

Ok, I just grabbed this game today and I played for a little while. All I can say is I TRULY SUCK. I think I have a k/d ration of .4 and I feel almost handicapped trying to get use to the controller.
Can anyone recommend a server for beginners since I can't do jack without dying in some horrific fashion.

what most of us did was host a lan game and get used to the controls, vehicles and weapons. After a bit of tinkering, jump into a game and start focusing on doing 1 thing good per game. The most common fun way of getting in is to man missle / gun turrets and knock out planes and people on the ground. Once you have a feel for the flow of the game, start helping out your team in other ways (placing mines around base, protect flag bearers, etc). Once you're feeling good about the controls, start doing a bit of everything. Warhawk is a very versatile game and to start getting the epic feel, you should be able to hop in and out of every vehicle at will and gouge which weapon you should use in which situation.
Quick example: Warhawks are used to get places fast and for aerial combat, but sometimes if I'm chased by a couple enemy warhawks, i do some evasive maneuvers, dive land on a mountain top, and jump out on foot in order to launch rockets at the planes that were chasing me (much quicker way of killing them than dogfighting 2v1). Afterwards zoom across the level in a jeep before hopping into a tank to unleash some chaos on their base. All the while a bajillion other things are happening across the map from your other 15 team members.
