Not at all, but when you shift staff from doing both single- and multi-player aspects into just one of them, I kinda expect things to go a little more smoothly. I know they lost staff, and I know things were rough during development. I'm not knocking the core experience, as it's one of the best multiplayer shooters I've ever played. There's no reason that one can't level a little bit of due criticism on some of the outlying areas of the experience, though.
Again, if it was a $30 download-only game, I probably wouldn't mind as much, but this is a full-priced game, and I tend to treat 'em as such. If an RPG just up and stopped recording your experience for hours at a time, people would be pissed. I kinda treat the two as one in the same. If it's going to cost me the same as an offline game, I expect that level of polish.

Is that accessible from in-game? I must be retarded if so, and apologies for making that mistake.

It could be a text-only, 1 page snapshot of stats and that would be enough. I'm just a little annoyed at the fact that it seems like more of an afterthought than an integral part of the experience... especially for an online-only title in which stats is everything.
It's not like Incog needed to do it themselves internally, SCEA has a large set of web developers they could have put on the project.

The answer I was hoping for... but even with only a relatively small segment of the overall pool of gamers currently playing so far (mostly North American players via PSN-download) and there still being such delays, I'm hoping they can figure it out.
Awesome, thanks.criesofthepast said:
I'm feeling much regret about waiting so far, but the free headset might still make me forget a few days lost Warhawking.Everyone is going to be awesome by the weekend and I'll be a huge liability when GAFw is smacking the taste of sass out GAFe's collective gob.
Jim said:
Yeah, they clearly didn't plan out the web-based stats page as well as they should have. Like Halo 3, they should have been working on it during the Beta. I will say the in-game stats are quite nice, when they update.
I came in third on a winning match and was worried that I'd lose my ribbon, but it finally showed up.
"More smoothly" still doesn't necessarily get you problem-free.SamBishop said:
The issues you raise should be fixed and ideally wouldn't have happened at all. No dispute there. It's the Chicken Little way you're doing it that doesn't exactly come across as simply leveling "a little bit of due criticism".
This is a little specious argument when there's a perfectly legitimate way to buy the game at less than "full-priced" on PSN.
It was during beta. Haven't tried it in the full retail release. In any case, it's also directly linked on the front page of the official site.

Seriously though, I think it's best if we run in pairs when playing competitevly.
The more experienced players can pair up with the less experienced players which should benifit both.

There are a ton of easier support roles than flying a Warhawk. In particular, the missile and flak turrets are a newbs dream. You can find one just outside of the main action and dump missiles on the enemy from a distance, and jump out and run if anyone comes near you. In Zones or CTF, newbs are great for turning over territories. Hop in a tank, drive it up to the flag, and sit there. Both of those things are huge strategic advantages for the team without actually having to be very good.
SOCOM has a lot of things Warhawk doesn't.SamBishop said:
I think SOCOM has the superior lobby system/online interface (SOCOM 2 and Halo 2 have the two best online interfaces out of any online game imo, which each are good for different types of games), and related to that it feels weird that you don't go back to a lobby between each game in Warhawk where it would give you time to chat with the other team, switch sides, and ready up when you were back from the kitchen/bathroom/whatever, when you are ready to play.
SOCOM also has a lot more depth and Joe Rybicki (of 1up) mentioned that in his Warhawk review. I guess you really can't fault Warhawk too much for being designed as a hop-in/hop-out experience, but at the same time you kind of expect more from a multi-player only game.

There is a Warhawks only option i believe.[/QUOTE]
Yep. I played a few games on one of the SCEA servers that had this option running. You start out in the air, in a warhawk, and it's all dogfighting. I did it on a 24 player server, and it was literally awesome, with you constantly flying through someone else's debris.

Hey Safe.. What do you think about breaking out into battalions. Air/Infantry...IE some people might be better at Warhawks so they get first dibs on them...and some might be better in tanks / infantry. That way when playing competitively we dont have people taking vehicles/warhawks that the guy running right behind them would be better at. I dunno. Just speaking outloud.
I'm one of the biggest SOCOM fans out there but that is too much of a false statement to let pass.Doel said:
SOCOM depends more on the razor sharp refinement of the few viable strategies possible per map/mode.
Warhawks possible strategies are damn near limitless given the size of the maps, the player count, and the wide assortment of weapons and vehicles.

I don't know if it's really that buggy or if the queue system that is supposed to take in this data is wonky. I've experienced the same delays with Battlefield 2, so I am used to it. All my ribbons were in this morning, so I am up to date. I'm sure it's frustrating for those on a deadline.Jim said:

Incog has added quite a few noticeable graphical improvements. There's motion blur and camera shake now whenever a nearby explosion takes place. The heat waves behind Warhawk turbines and rockets has some added cinematic effect. It all looks quite nice.

I believe the ramps in archipelago are now textured. TONX and I had a little discussion about some of the changes, but I like the recoil and blur effects for firing the sniper rifle.Ragnarok10 said:
I was starting to think along the same lines but thought it best we get a week or two of playtime in before begining to play on a more serious level.[CFD] El Capitan said:
I'd like to give everyone a chance to play as they'd like for a bit before I start barking orders.
Plus its not like we're going to have to "try" to beat GAFe.
I'm sure once we show up on the battlefield they're going to run away in fear.

i agree in general, i love infantry/ground support more then the warhawks (although i still love to hop in a warhawk once in a while). But if we were doing clan matches, i think its better to get roles then to just go off and go crazy.
I've played quite a few ranked CTF matches were everyone is gone in 15 seconds and i am the lone man left in the corner with a rocket launcher and grenades to defend the base. There are some great places to set up so when someone comes in to grab the flag, boom

Buy it. Is that good enough? How about this. Look at my tag and ask yourself, would this guy hype the game if it wasn't worth it?
I love this game. It's fast, brutal, unforgiving, and a blast to play. It's incredibly open and you can play in any style you like, from sneaky stealth to banzai charges, to plowing into the center of the enemy territory with your warhawk at high speed. Dogfights, tanks, jeeps, turrets -- all player controllable with up to 32 players, and it's beautiful.
And the surround sound on it is amazing.
Buy it.
