I really like Omega Dawn, but if you're strapped for cash you may want to wait for the next expansion as the APC looks like a much more fucking awesome vehicle than the Dropship. Which is tits, but is rarely used properly.
The APC looks like the Warhawk equivalent of the Bang Bus if the driver were The Humongous every passenger were Ed Norton in American History X. :lol

i kinda think omega dawn's level sucks
and the dropship is more trouble than it's worth
but i'll gladly buy anything warhawk at this point

Thank you Wollan! I don't know what I'm looking forward too more, new weapons or the new VOIP features
Btw, I'm still around if anyone was wondering. Just havent't been able to play as much due to holidays and such. I should be more active from this Thursday onwards. Same time as usual.
I like Omega Factory a lot. It's fantastic for dogfights, and the medium layouts are interesting. I wish more people had it...
Also, playing UT3 reinforced once and for all my belief that Warhawk is the best online action available. Warhawk not only plays better, but IMO it actually looks much better too.

Okay, tried out the wrench and bio field generator in a local game, they're awesome.
Observations:
During the respawn timer, your teams name is shown above it, nice touch.
Crashing your warhawk has a new fullscreen red flash effect.
The wrench makes a nice thud when hitting someone, a nice clang when repairing a vehicle, and a louder junk clash sound when damaging one.
4 wrench hits to repair/destroy a jeep, 7 for a tank. Destroying a vehicle doesn't increase your wrench points, although maybe it decreases at a lower rate than repair. Dunno.
The BFG heals you faster than an assault rifle can hurt you, but a flamethrower still wins.
Put a BFG on a jeep and it'll heal you when you're in the gunner's seat.
BFG takes two rocket/grenade hits to destroy, bastards are tough.
BFG lasts about thirty seconds or so, didn't time it.
You get 2 BFG's per pickup.
You alternate between mines and BFG when you have both by just selecting that direction again.
The 50 cal gun on the jeep can take out a tank in just under a single clip. > It's got 90 rounds now.
In the server settings, you can choose whether to have the wrench and BFG available or not.
Flag return timer options have been changed to 15/30/45/60/90, and it defaults to 45. I don't like this. :/
Overall, some pretty sweet stuff. Can't wait to see how the voice stuff works once I try it online. I'll probably still stick with PTT.

Island Outpost, wrench in the vehicle garage, BFG in the land mine building. I'm searching through Omega Factory right now, and there's a BFG on the platform right above the base thingy at base 2, a wrench by the tank at base 1, a wrench by the tank in the garage at base 4, and a BFG on the roof of that garage. I'm guessing wrenches will be close by tanks on most maps.
Some more things:
The wrench respawns in four seconds!
BFG does last for thirty seconds, and the powerup takes 45 seconds to respawn. It also has a ten second reload time.
You can only deploy one BFG at a time, if you drop a second one, the first one disappears instantly.
BFG's will not set off enemy land mines.
Land mine explosions will take out a BFG instantly.
Other Island Outpost locations: Base 1: BFG in flamethrower building, wrench behind rocket launcher building. Bridge: BFG. Base 3: Wrench. Base 4: Wrench in building.

Just tried out the game here... and while the connection was much better than I expected in the caribbean.... It was still near unplayable for me... because I was playing on a maybe 15 year old SD TV which has lost its ability to clearly draw stuff on the screen... It's hard to get a clear image...
Anyways My HDTV should be getting here in a couple weeks... until then... i doubt I will be online much...

I can't believe the .50 actually packs some firepower now, a real threat to a hovering warhawk.

I just picked up Warhawk today and played my first match. It's really cool. My PSN ID is Ninja_Kn1ght. It'd be cool to play with some gaffers.
