The Warhawk servers have now gone down for maintenance until 4PM GMT. However they have now made the v1.3 update available for download. To download the new update just start up the game and it will ask you to download the new v1.3 update. Its as easy as that.

The new features that are in the new update are as follows:
*BIO-FIELD EMITTER (Creates a zone of healing for allies and a zone of damage for enemies)
*MECHANIC FIELD WRENCH (can be used to repair allied vehicles and turrets as well as damage enemy vehicles and turrets)
*Integration of Contest Winner Insignias and Paint Schemes
*.50cal turret targeting enhanced
*Point value update for CTF defend and flag-carrier kill
*CTF Sudden-Death trigger fix
*Disabled CTF Flag throw/drop functionality
*New VOIP Functionality
*HOME Game-Launching

Once you've downloaded the update you'll be ready to play when the servers go back up at 4PM GMT.

HOME game launching ?????

hmm, so Home isn't that far away after all ! :P

[Equinoxe_7]

Cool, but I think we still need to have paitience, Home game launching could just be for the open beta, but we are seeing progres.

[Cwalat]

you mean the closed beta...

[dalibor]

Progress is always good. Yes iam def. downloading this update for warhawk and getten ready to roll a fat one up lol the one that will make you walk like a zombie, like ice cube said "today is a good day"

[Alcohog]

I really hate reading things like that just as I'm starting my day at work :P

[dalibor]

Alcohog
Don't worry theres pleenty to go around bro. Mary jane might be the only thing that can cure fanboyism...

[fenderputty]

This is a good sign for sure. These things (Home, Ingame xmb) are getting close to their supposed release times. The anticipation is killing me.

[TheExecutive]

its for the closed beta :), but good signs none the less

[sonarus]

In game launching was already available for home beta. Anyways, i'm going to download now but wnt get a chance to play till later

[killer_trap]

wasn't there supposed to be a new snow map with the update???

[harv711]

I think the snow map is in the Operation Broken Mirror expansion coming out on the 19th.

[killer_trap]

duh....now i remember. I'm begining to lose my memory. thanks very much.

[Zhuk]

Does anyone actually play this game? I thought it bombed pretty hard

[wAtdaFck]

Just because you don't have the game doesn't mean it bombed.

Community is live and thriving. Hence all the updates, and the dawn of its second expansion.

[dalibor]

Zhuk how come your ignored by:233 users lol. Jeez this site has a lot of people hating. Dang. Just so you know iam not one of the 233 and by the way warhawk is cool. At least i like it. Try the game and see if you like it.

[Diugu]

And it is still selling. Best multiplayer out there in my opinion.

Also.. easy to find rooms to play due to the amount of people playing all day long.

[Bolts]

Yeah it bombed hard enough for two expansions.

[Haiku4Fanboys]

The Zhuk has surfaced
Fanboy hibernation ends
His brain still sleeps, though

[Sev]

Where the hell have you been?

It seemed like you went into the hiding once the PS3 started to pick up some steam.

[Varsarus]

I have warhawk, it's great, probably competes with Halo rofl.

[nevimkdojsem2]

I've played Warhawk for 250 hours so far while my Call of Duty 4 disk collects dust.

[va_bank]

@ Bug: no, only 500,000+ people on the leaderboards. I have 300+ hours into that game( never played anything that much before) and I'm only ranking in the top 7,000.

@ Varsaqrus: I think Halo is nothing compared to Warhawk, but it's way more popular, I guess because it's easier to play and is backed by Microsoft hype machine. Just my opinion and I should also mention that like many older (30+) gamers I'm pretty sick of FPS by now.

[fenderputty]

Zhuk ... the antithesis to DarkSniper. It's good to see you back but, next time put out some more effort. That wasn't nearly as funny as you can usually be.

[J@D]

[sarcasm]Oh, God I never thought the day that ur nick will be surface again... I'm so happy for ya' welcome back to N4G buddy' [/sarcasm]

^__^

[gta_cb]

i agree that warhawk is a fun game, but IMHO Warhawk does not even compare to COD4.

[ChefDejon]

shhhhhhhh

[ChefDejon]

the title song

[Shadow Flare]

Something i wish they would include in an update is if warhawks would increasingly take damage if they touch vehicles. The amount of times i have seen it on CTF where a warhawk will ram a car (with the flag carrier in it) off a bridge or a cliff. Or the main one is when warhawks just land in front of your car and ram you back. Sorry thats just not fair. It just shows how useless the pilot is if he hasn't got enough skill to shoot the car down. Apart from being desperate, its just a completely unfair way to play, and its put me off the game quite a bit. And whoopti freakin do, they've disabled the ability to throw the flag. That means that if i get rammed off a bridge by a warhawk i can't throw the flag away to at least keep it in play while i die. You know what, i dunno if im even gonna buy this update. Everybody's Golf and Gran Turismo has my attention at the moment. Incognito, warhawk's a great game but fix the crap because it makes it needlessly frustrating.

[dalibor]

You should get in a tank and shoot the living sh*t out of the warhawk if it tries to ram you off or if it comes near your tank, that's what i do.

[Shadow Flare]

yeah but they're not always available, and they're quite a big target for a plane. The cars are great cos they're fast and can dodge the planes bullets. Unfortunately planes take advantage of how light they are. Still, warhawk is the best multiplayer game ive ever played, i do like it

[nevimkdojsem2]

ramming a jeep is a fair tactic in my opinion. be angry at your team collegues that they don't protect you as a flag career, this is a team game.

[qohelet]

this is an update not an expansion, so you don't have to buy it but you'll have to get it to play online...

[va_bank]

When you get a Warhawk blocking your path - jump out of your vehicle immediately and start tossing grenades at it. Even better if you have land mines - throw a couple around yourself. I can't tell you how many times I got rid of warhawks blocking me that way.

Also you will have no choice - you HAVE TO download the update if you want to keep playing. It's the operation broken mirror that is optional.

[Shadow Flare]

ramming jeeps is not fair as much as shooting an unarmed man in real life is not fair, or kicking a man while he's down is not fair. The jeep cannot do a thing to the plane. When im hunting down flag carriers in cars while im in a warhawk, i'll always hover and shoot them down. Cos for one thing my aim doesn't suck and i can take them down in like 3 seconds. And secondly, i like to give the car a fighting chance, cos all he can do is evade me. And if he does evade me, then he deserves to capture the flag. Im not desperate enough to resort to ramming because it is completely unfair. And blaming the team for not helping is lousy. Either your on a good team or your not. Either they'll know to help you or not. All it comes down to is that the ramming warhawk has no respect, no sense of fair fighting, is a sore loser and he is desperate cos he resorts to ramming jeeps cos he sucks so much and aiming. Sorry but it pisses me off so much that i don't play it anymore. Capturing flags is what im best at, i've captured around 900 flags now with 350 warhawk wings. And often if i choose not to go after the flag, NOBODY goes after the flag. So forget it, until Incognito fix it, i'll rarely be on warhawk. Which is a shame because it really is a great game, if but frustrating

[ROCCOZILLA]

this game will never die,its like UT3 they will contine to ad in game content and it will allways be fresh.as for the HOME part of it i think that its coming with the new store.ONLINE INSANITY!!

[r1000]

Ok i have been playing warhawk since it's been out A LOT... what do they mean throw the flag... Since when can you have thrown the flag if you were the F Carrier? I thought you had it until you were killed???

Also.. I really like warhawk... this game and re play of resident evil 4 will hold me over until MGS4 comes out... but does any think that the "balance" that warhawk always had is starting to shift??? Two new Healing modes??? it's going to get a lot tougher to get kills

[dalibor]

I think they mean when you have the flag in your grasp, you can throw it like a spear, catch my drift?

[nevimkdojsem2]

you can throw the flag with the triangle button

[Goldsack]

i know what u mean..not really logical and absolut unfair.
the problem that im have is that the rank updates dont work..my last rank update was OCTOBER last year !!WTF!! currently im Wingman with over 25.000 game points..what a joke!!

[Shadow Flare]

geez thats pretty bad about your rank. I wonder why thats happening? But im glad you see that problem with the warhawks exists aswell. Its something they could fix and i wish they would

[FunAndGun]

the rank updates work. im sure you are just missing part of the requirement to gain rank. its most likely you need to get your 4x4 badge (killing 5 guys with the jeep in a round). check the requirements for your next rank, im sure your missing something.

same thing happend to me, found out, then jumped a couple ranks after i got my badge. felt like a retard.

check it out!

[Goldsack]

i thought its cause of my version..i have the us-download warhawk but im from germany, u know :-) but some of my friends have the same problem too..so i dont know??!

@funandgun
jesus..the requirements for my next rank!! i hear this for the first time.
thankz to u!! have to check this, but where can i see what requirement i need it??

[FunAndGun]

actually in the game if you look under "rank advancement" it will show you what is required. IAR means "In A Round" so whatever it says you need to perform that in one single round. i guarantee that is your problem, you need the 4x4 badge. kill 5 troops with the jeep by either running them over or using the 50cal.....In A Round.

for more information head to warhawkstats.com EVERYTHING you need to know is on that site. Good Luck!

[360sucks]

[Marceles]

"The Warhawk servers have now gone down for maintenance until 4PM GMT"

Start a local game if you want to check out the improvements of the game

[360sucks]

[Goldsack]

[Ace-Jury]

my favourite game, im so addicted i need help. when i was trying to sleep last night, all i could see was warhawk!

[Ace-Jury]

not what i was expecting, now to find a wrench

[Skerj]

It is so on like Voltron today.

[Marceles]

lol @ disagree...someone didn't like your rhyming skills I guess

[Skerj]

Lmao I know, maybe it's off then. In any case that Chernovan Nemesis skin with the Skull is the truth, it's like death from above.

[nix]

good stuff! q:

[GnuUzir]

7 hours of work seperate me from playing this....

Boo for not having rich parents that give me money so I can sit at home and play all day =P

[LOFT316]

Points value update for CTF defend and flag-carrier kill
That's the game i play the most CTF
And it all seemeed a bit pointless when the point system was reduced

[PSWe60]

Can't wait, I might just leave the office early just to download it sooner.

[erichv]

Does Sony think we bought a PS3 so we can constantly download and add patches, fixes and updates for no reason to our system. I have this system to play games. It is no fun constantly downloaded silly pointless updates just because Sony has decided to change things. The PS3 is for playing games, not for constantly upgrading. Tell Sony that if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!!! The jerks need to ASK us if we want the patch rather than forcing us to download it. It should be our choice. It is OUR game machine that WE all paid a small fortune for and we do not want our game time wasted!!!!!
