Sony cracking down on Warhawk cheaters

Sony is cracking down on cheaters in the Playstation 3 exclusive game, Warhawk.

[spandexxking]

good news, hopefully i can finaly stop wasting my electric bolts on those wasters.

[ABizzel1]

This should have been done from the get go. I don't understand why people cheat online. If you suck then get your skills up. DOn't mod your controller to glitch yourself to a mediocre rating, because most of the people who cheat never see a high ranking anyway.

I hate going in a game and see some bouncing around non stop, or having to unload 5 clips into someone, becuase their heal does go down naturally.

These kinds of cheaters don't cheat because they want to raise their rank; they do it because it messes with you. They take away an important gaming factor from all other gamers by cheating the system. They get their kicks out of ruining the game. As Alfred says, some people can't be bought, they just want to watch the world burn.

[ThanatosDMC]

What do they do when they cheat? I never seen one. But then again it's been a while since i played Warhawk. I'm such a great pilot in that game... hehehe. I can duke it out properly against 2 but 3 become a problem and 4+ is just fly away.

[AK46]

how do you cheat in warhawk anyway?

[spandexxking]

people can somehow stat pad or something, its funny poeple acuse everyone of stat padding all the time

[spandexxking]

i just youtubed it and found this vid http://www.youtube.com/watc... skip to the 5 min mark. damn punks.

[phosphor112]

That is f*cking stupid as hell o_o.

[CaptainKratos]

i wasn't aware there was cheaters in WARHAWK!

[ZBlacktt]

In MGO ( Metal Gear Online ) which is the king of online cheater's per rate of users left playing it, lol. This is called Boosting. Gain any rank and any Emblem by hosting your own room and putting a password on it. So no one else can enter.

Otherwise, for normal game play. Cheater's just use a Lag Switch. Which is more than half of them.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

I don't care about stats, but I hope they fix those invisible tanks and jeeps, although it's very satisfying destroying them. Yeah, last couple of months that seem to be getting out of control.

[f789790]

I've never run into those. How do you destroy them?

[GrandTheftZamboni]

I mean they don't show on the map and all of a sudden you bump into them and they run you over or shoot at you. You can still hear them, especially tanks, as they come closer. Since most of them grab a wrench, less than three mines are not effective I like placing 3 or 4 at the same spot. Nice surprise for sneaking bastards. It's more challenging jumping on top of them with a wrench.

[thewhoopimen]

wow fully invisible tanks? That sucks. I was going to say you naturally fade out of the radar map when u move slowly but this sounds different.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

I know that you always show on map unless you carry knife, fly stealth and I think when sniping or using binoculars. I didn't know that the speed affects whether you show up on map. Does that work for vehicles, warhawks and when you're on foot? I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure those tanks were moving pretty fast.

[Sarcasm]

I don't get the point in cheating. It completely ruins the entire purpose of the game.

The only time I'd cheat is to mess around in GTA after I beat the main story.

[ambientFLIER]

Cheaters on psn? That's unpossible!

[ZBlacktt]

LOL, to imply XBox live does not? And legit player's of Xbox "pay" for the right to play online and get cheated on, lol... double sad.

[Chubear]

..there are different types of cheating.

[RedSoakedSponge]

this is good news but i really dont like the game anyways lol.

[CaptainKratos]

its fun when your friends come by and play split screen, faaking awesome!!!

[Myst]

Huh, you know warhawk was basically my first game and I have not played the game in some time. I suppose when fall break comes around. I'll spend some of my time going through some old games to see what it's like now.

[GrammarPolice]

Cheaters suck.

[f789790]

Hehe. Their flipping a coin when they mess with me.

[jaixvx]

Maybe they should have fixed the mic problems while they are at it. The jabra blu tooth headset that came with game doesn't work on that game at all, it works great for any other game online.

[Magna Farta]

....people are still playing Warhawk?

Could've fooled me, everytime I'm on there there's virtually no one on. Maybe that's changed with the release of the slim...I should check.

[TheTeam06]

Yeah dude, check again. There are always a ton of people on when I get on there. Heck, there are still a bunch of people in Resistance: Fall of Man!

[Panthers]

Check your filter settings. Maybe they are too specific? I know that was the problem with KZ2. I thought no one played, but when I changed the filter, I found tons of games.

[na2ru1]

When mine is set to player server (not dedicated servers) there's loads. You just don't rank up in those.

And yeh I also checked resistance last week and there's still loads of pros their. I much prefer RFoM than Res2.

[thor]

Yeah make sure you

- Set your allowed ping to be 250 or higher
- Set your allowed regions to be worldwide
- Make sure everything else is as general as possible

It sucks that you don't get as much choice any more, but there are STILL loads of people playing on ALL of the expansions, ALL of the modes, and ALL of the maps.

Though your idea of "virtually no-one on" might be different to mine.

According to http://myhawk.org/community... there are over 13,000 players a day on Warhawk.

[BkaY]

there were 312 servers.. when i logged in ..

r u sure u r talking about warhawk ..?

peace

[rbanke]

This is by far one of my favorite games, but lame "backwards" flying pushed me away after more than a year of playing, a few months later I came back to be turned off by people flying under the map. Love the game, but its ruined by glitchers. Best way to play it now days would probably be clan vs clan or something where everyone is respectable and wont glitch.

Anxiously waiting on the next warhawk.

[BkaY]

your can enjoy it a alot more when you play with your clan....

under the map is annoying by behind the mountains in Grinder sux ballz...

i only do it when some noob gets behind the map and someone report about it....

get behind the mountains and no scope their azz ... best feeling ever...lolz

peace

[takohma]

lmao i didnt eve know people still played this game. mine is just collecting dust i think ill give it a play next weekend

[Z501]

Warhawk is always full. So is Metal Gear Online.
The PS3 base keeps growing. So why wouldn't the games?

[redsquad]

Great, now do something about KZ2 glitchers. F@KKlG yellow bellied B@5TARD5 shooting through walls from safety right outside your own base.... I've reported four this last week >:(

[gamerz]

Warhawk is one of the best games on PS3 and Starhawk is gonna be amazing!!!
