Rumor: Game Informer Mag Mentions Warhawk Expansion Pack

In the new Game Informer magazine, is mentioned a Warhawk expansion in December, here is what it says: There aren't any screens available yet, but we saw an early version of this expansion pack in action. The big news is the addition of a new vehicle: the dropship. Armed with six missiles turrets and the ability to pick up ground vehicles (like tanks), the dropship will sure change the face of battle - so much so that previous zones will be modified slightly to integrate the new vehicle.

[HeartlesskizZ]

this could be the biggest wish to come true. I even made a thread last month about the update with a new vehicle and some more maps and now this..... great thing I just subscribe to this magazine so I can check it my self =)

[Young Capwn]

I CANT WAIT TO GET THIS GAME

[the worst]

[Young Capwn]

[Venom_Blood]

Great find, I also am subscribe to this mag so great for me

[Jdash24]

O.o i just got my new game informer yesterday.........i got to go throught it now and find this article

@demon zoul...........ya your right its not in there.......ahh well til next month i guess

[HeartlesskizZ]

I got the one this month( black cover one) and I went and check again but is not on this one, I think they talking about the next month one, Nov issue... cant wait

[Duke Nukem]

Great, I was thinking on getting this game but was not sure until now

[Baba1906]

omg that would be so amazing. warhawk is so much fun. i would love some new maps, maybe a new gampalymod or who knows some new weapons and vehicles, but the last onces only if the gameplay keeps beeing so amazing and balanced. warhawk is really one of the funnest multiplayer games in the last years for me.

[games4fun]

i cant wait for this add-on, if it is true, it would be awesome to have the dropships, but i hope they have specefic matches setup and a better customization for levels like what vehicles to add.

[sonarus]

havnt played warhawk in a while i really pray this is true cus need sumthin 2 respark ma interest and this would def do it

[Maddens Raiders]

More time to waste!

*what a great game Warhawk is - makes me very happy with my PS3 purchase. =]

[ATLRoAcH]

Warhawk is already so awesome and I imagine it will be expanded a few times.How much better can it get?

[macalatus]

Oops...there goes my college grades!! =)

[HeartlesskizZ]

If they talking about the big huge nice looking flying ship im so happy.

[ErcsYou]

true...true... when i think about it, incognito probably has a bunch of unused code from the single player version... they probably have all kinds of stuff we have never even seen before..

the pics you posted look like aircraft carriers....that would be nice to have in a dogfight, perfect spawn points

[Douche]

I remember that. There was alot of stuff from the original showings of Warhawk which had vehicles and features which the present state of Warhawk doesn't. I hope they have all this stuff planned to put into Warhawk. It would be a great way of slowly building the community...along with the game. I'm so pumped for this first add-on.

[the worst]

this game should be good well in 2 next year

[DevilDawg90]

OK I HAVE THE NEW GAMEINFORMER ISSUE FOR NOVEMBER 2007. I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH IT AND DID NOT SEE ANY NEWS ON WARHAWK. AS A FELLOW ACE OF THE SKY I AM EXCITED TO HEAR THIS BUT UNLESS SOMEONE CAN COME UP WITH A PAGE NUMBER OR SOMETHING I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS FFFFFAAAALLLSSSSEEEE.

[HeartlesskizZ]

You know we are in oct right? then how you manage to get a nov issue?
Do you work for them? if so plz post a pic of how the NOV issue looks like plz.... I would love to see the cover

[Baba1906]

dotn think we will hear from devil any time soon lol. he is so faking it. =D

[Siesser]

Before jumping on him, don't forget that although he won't have the issue released in the month of November, magazines DATE their issues a month ahead; the magazine coming out in October should have "November" written on it.

Usually.

[ErcsYou]

updates for warhawk have so much potential. the maps are already huge..adding a few more and expanding the existing maps would make the world so much bigger..more weapons would be a plus . i would rather spawn with a assault rifle than a pistol.. they could trade the pistols weapon spot for a shotgun(please) or a grenade launcher..also the game already has great vehicles, how about combining them..:: machine gun turrets on top of the tanks, , missile launcher equipped tanks .

the dropships sound amazing....if they are willing to add something that big to warhawk, just imagine what else they have up their sleeve ...i hope its true

[HeartlesskizZ]

yes a Shotgun is a big need when hawkers ambush me so I can clear them out if I dont have the flamethrower

[vaan]

If this is not a fake.....all I can say is OH YEAH!
Dropship? Sick! I love this game! This mofo takes hours out of my life every evening.

[HeartlesskizZ]

Anybody else wanting a jeep with a rocket launcher on the back ?
or a machine gun for a co pilot on a warhawk? Maybe Im just the only one =)

[Baba1906]

i would love some more coop vehicles. i often play splitscreen and well the most fun is when going places togheter on the jeep or tank. =D

[ErcsYou]

it would be nice to have all these things ( especially another machinegun on the warhawks) if incognito is listening to the fans we can expect some amazing updates and sequels

[Venom_Blood]

even a bike with a kart attach to it will be great for co-op. this game has not unleash full potential yet.

[wangdiddy82]

i dont know about the drop ship.. I think warhawk is perfect the way it is.. But a motorcycle with a buggie attached to the side would be really cool..

I just want some more cool maps..

[neogeo]

just wanted to say that.

[Ortiz83]

just wanted to say that.

[Kotaku]

It was xpected to hit early 08 but this December is not a bad idea

[AllroundGamer]

they should rather fix the updating problem with ranks+awards, my profile wasn't updated for about a week now... also they should add some ability for the co-driver in Warhawk plane, shoot weapons at least, cause now you can't do nothing. As a hardcore Battlefield 1+2 player, Warhawk is for me in many points disappointing, only 3 types of vehicles is really a joke, but it can be fun from time to time.

Edit: thx fanboys for the disagrees, truth hurt doesn't it? :D

[The Wood]

you shouldn't judge this game by battlefields standards. i understand it has a huge following but if they are too similar then you might as well call it warhawk: bf clone addition. even bf had flaws and yes warhawk does also but many many people are having fun on warhark without the things you want in it. maybe the peeps who disagreed with ya think your a hater or just tooo hard to please, who knows

edit: but yes improvements can be made

[techie]

We need to have a game ARG. Add me if you havent already... deepbrown

[xplosneer]

We disagreed because we want more maps vehicles etc before our ranks, because some of us don't really care, we just want to play the game.

[VendettaWFT]

This game is a really great game by multiplayer online standards. Yah it could stand to add a few features (guy in a planes c@ckpit is useless...unless your trying to steal bases) and improve its ranking system. But this game is pretty much, barnone one of the best online games for the PS3 and one of the better online experiences one can have on a console platform.

PM me if want my PSN...this is pretty much the only game I play right now

[Merovee]

One of us can hop in the passenger spot and relay info to the other so we know where the turrets are being manned from anywhere and sneak up on them. They can also keep a mark on almost every warhawk in the air for you as well as base statuses and flag locations. add to that the takeover speed increase on bases and it's quite effective.

Hunting AA turrets in a plane and getting a 8 to 1 kill/ death ratio is funny as hell

[Lanontscuz]

how about a jeep with a TOW missile on it,,, but a drops ship sounds fun i hope it dont get blasted by 2 hits of the ground base missile defense... well i hope there is an expansion at dec.

[Mr PS3]

I'm takin that mother fvcker down
Sounds good though whatever the new DC contains its gonna be good

[SimmoUK]

I love this game me and my mates are online split screen all the time, the warhawk's are sick, an expansion pack makes me a very happy person! can't wait for this and the drop ship should mix things up, it will be interesting all the people who have the game will know what i meen...

Everyone who has played this game round mine loves it...

[PimpHandHappy]

i wanted to pick up a tank with my warhawk but this would lead to some real corny play. The drop ship should not carry tanks but it should carry 4-6ppl and have one cluster bomb for use b4 u drop of the troops. If u could carry a tank and 4ppl to a zone that zone will fall 90% of the time. It might mess with the balance of power in this game.

Make a drop ship. It shouldnt carry a tank. This is fake anyway i think. I want more maps and a drop ship that doesnt carry tanks!

[EZCheez]

(and I hope it does) they will definitely need to change the maps to accomodate these dropships. It would be even better if they added a couple too.

[Blackmoses]

now I wanna go play....see you guys later.

[TheHater]

How much will it cost?

[Sevir04]

i hope thats freakin true. warhawk = Multiplayer 2.0 ^^ thats freakin sweet. Dropships would seriously make the game more diverse in it's offerings i just hope they are able to balancing it right because warhawks are really unstopable if used right and if you're in a Dropship carrying say your whole team and you get shot out of the sky by a warhawk then .... yeah. so i hope they are pretty hiogh on defense and nimble enough to take on the mighty warhawks and powerfull enough to shoot one out of the sky in a dog fight. either way expanding maps and adding weapons and new vehicles and even a map or 2 would be awesome i cant wait

[DeZimatoR]

Dropships? That would be awesome!

But 6 missile turrets? That would make it insanely overpowered. I'm hoping for just the weaker turrets and maybe two flak turrets at most. Maybe one 1 missile turret, but that's it.

Although if its as big as I think Iit will be, it'll probably be an easy to hit target, plus it also most surely be slow as hell :p

Hope they make a bigger version of some of the maps to fit these dropships in there though! :D

[jagang78]

I'm hoping that if an expansion pack is coming out in december that that will be at the latest when they fix the server/stat issues. Which would great.

[Meus Renaissance]

I hope its free

[UltramanJ]

While I don't own Warhawk, I notice with Motorstorm that there are a few nickel and dime downloads for it. Personally I think a few of them should be free.

[Maddens Raiders]

and SEAL boats / Destroyers and Cruisers on the water. Imagine the possibilities. Don't think that'll ever happen though.

*Me love recon.

[AllroundGamer]

you just need to play Battlefield on the PC, there you will see the possibilities... Warhawk is maybe a 1/5 of Battlefield speaking of number of vehicles and maps. Personally i find the fights on foot very chaotic, the animations are too fast and hectic, and how can a jeep equipped with machine gun destroy a tank is beyond my imagination :D sorry i like my PS3, but the this game just doesn't have the potential as it could have... and hopefully the expasions will be free.

[wil4hire]

Warhawk is definately an ARCADE style setup. At first I was a bit irritated that it takes 1 entire machine gun to put a guy down, but then I remember how UNREAL TOURNAMENT(another arcade setup) is. I couldn't imagine how ridiculous it would be with 4 shot machine gun kills.

THere are 1 shot kills with the Sniper/Rocket/Mine (almost flame thrower hehe) and things like that.

I think Warhawk paves the way for a game like Operation Flashpoint or Battlefield that concentrates on realistic team-cooperation and tactics in the future. FOR NOW. Warhawk is just a fun game to get your kill on, there is some strategy, but its mainly KILL KILL KILL KILL.

[ElementX]

This game is pretty sweet. I've been busy with Halo 3 and Orange Box, but I'm definitely playing Warhawk again sometime soon. An expansion pack would be awesome.

[ElementX]

double post

[btkadams]

sweet deal!!! that sounds awesome

[wil4hire]

Or is that around already?

I'm not sick of the old maps yet.. they are HUGE. And even when you scale it down, its a different experience.

[gololo]

the drogship idea is awesome...image a bridge being controlled by the blue team...then a dropship with 10+ red players players landing and destroying the opposition...this would be awesome, i don't know if you guys ever played Operation Flashpoint but in the Helicopters you could carry 20 players, and taking over a town use to kick ass just because you could land in the middle of the action with a bunch of friendlies and turn the game around

[Kylen08]

Give me a one-seated motorcycel with explosives on it so i can go kamikaze and im happy:)

[AllroundGamer]

:D ok consider it done, but one shot from any weapon would destroy you, even a pistol :)

[byaaface]

I always do that! >:) jeep + mines= kamikaze jeep of death!!! Also like tipping jeeps putting mines under then replacing them = car bomb thing!!!

[mikeslemonade]

I can't wait to sneak into an enemy base and put mines into this drop ship. I suppose it would take 2 or 3 mines to take down this ship.

[Dante8205]

this would be the sweetest thing ever. i cant wait for it. its definitely not a rumor. they most definitely have plans to make an expansion pack.

[sonarus]

they would have to increase the max number of ppl per game to do this though. 32 players is a lot but those maps are so huge that 64 would be nice too. CTf would probably become impossible though lol

[Infernus]

I think the dropship would be a superb addition. Add in parachuting and just imagine the possibilities, what a sight that would be, loads of people just leaping from dropships and opening parachutes...

[HeartlesskizZ]

o yes you right, Parachute will be great when your WH is right about to blow in pieces and jump also able to shoot wile landing

[DevilDawg90]

[byaaface]
