I played one deathmatch to test it out. I must get used to it as Resistance MP pacing/speed has gotten me out of whack.

Playing Resistance and Warhawk at the same time can be tricky. Well, at least it was for me unil I changed some of the control settings in Warhawk. It's been a while since I made those adjustments, but I prolly inverted the up/down axis to match Resistance. Hint: try out all aircraft control schemes (the default one is pretty weak).

So I have finally downloaded Sea_Manky's video and I'm just getting a black screen with sound. :|

try downloding the k-lite codec pack, and use VLC media player or Media player classic; I've never had any problems with any video file after doing this

nice vid Sea Manky, watched some of the first one before work today. I must say, you are more suicidal than I imagined, even knowing you die a lot! At least it feels like you die less often since you always get back into the battlefield so efficiently.

GB clan kamikaze's leader just IM'd me saying to tell you guys they "wants war"

Yeah, I'm not much for self-preservation. Dying doesn't mean a whole lot to me. :p

We'll see about Kamikaze after this weekend. Any more volunteers for any of the current matches?

Steroyd: The videos use the H.264 codec with AAC endcoded sound.

Edit: Just logged in and saw the clan messages about the matches, nice one, Steroyd! :D

Trust me all these ports serve a purpose on the PLAYSTAION on line Network. I recommend you set your system up with a static IP address and disable UpNp. These settings will get you a NAT2 with out DMZ. If your Router only supports port forward you will have to enter every port as a single port entry, and if it only support port range forward you will have to enter all the ports as ranges IE Port 10 to port 10. I apologize about the late post, I decided to get all my wisdom teeth removed after work.

We don't watch TV, so he won't benefit until he's old enough to play. :p

Won't be long though, he knows how to hold the controller properly. XD

Hey Sea Manky!
Just got the videos, already watched the CTF one. Nicely done :)
Hearing the hicups and the "yays!" was funny :)

I probably need to test my connection with the server we are going to play on just to know what sort of ping i can expect. Where are we going to play?

The servers will be set up before the game starts by the people hosting. We're the higher ranked team for Saturday, so we'll be hosting that, and RoH has offered to do it. The other days will be hosted by the other team.

#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!

What the hell? Now you'll be able to take down a tank with a lone trooper.

and finally we get to see who is talking as well!
and an option to mute those individual asshats :)

I like those 2 new troop items, anythings that adds a little variety is ok by me

Wow, cool!

I already take down tanks as a lone trooper, now this just gives me another weapon to do it with. :p

I think the big value of the wrench will be when you're in a tank or jeep and just barely survive a small battle, hop out and repair. Tankers are going to love this.

Heh, I can imagine a few scenarios where a trooper attacks a tank with the wrench, so the driver hops out, the trooper ends up repairing the tank, and the driver hops back in. XD

I'm betting you'll be able to blow up biofield thingies like mines.

Pretty neat additions, they're free right?

#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.

HOLY CRAP!!


#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

HOLY CRAP x2!!
I think this will also be kind of game breaking for CTF matches...

EDIT:

Dylan Jobe said:
I even scored a Warhawk kill with it in one play session…although admittedly the Warhawk was almost dead. One of our testers flew down and was harassing me on the ground and just jumped up and hit it with the wrench. it was a totally lucky shot…but it was one of my best Warhawk memories!

right now, if an enemy is in the vehicle, then you damage it.

If the enemy bails, then you will stop damaging it. We did this because we found that it adds a neat moment when you force a ground troop out of his vehicle and then boost its health quickly and claim it for your own.

I was wondering when it switched over to damage mode. Works like you guys figured it would.

I'm looking forward to the sound effects for the wrench, hopefully there's a nice loud clang when you hit a vehicle, and a meaty thud when you hit a trooper. XD

Sorry, but I can’t talk about the new vehicles right now…

We are looking at adding some new awards…but they may not be “traditional” Warhawk ribbons, medals, etc.

Woah, what great news to wake up to.

Good games last night. Playing at 3am is pretty counterproductive though, especially when you're almost up for 24h :\
