Warhawk 2: What Should Change?

koehler83 - 237 days 7 hours ago

The auto-aim is a measure of balance in a few specific weapons. Warhawk has a broad appeal because it doesn't require the FPS skillset. The balance of the weapons/vehicles gives it a specific skillset. If you happen to have a good grasp of manual aim, it gives you a huge advantage with RPGs, tanks, planes, grenades and sniper rifles. It also improves the effectiveness of the auto-aim where applicable. Saying you want to remove that is basically like saying you want it to be another game, in which case you should just play another game.

I'm all for handicaps when implemented properly. I hate games that don't make the elite players work any harder. I'm all for capitalism and dislike socialism in the real world, but in games, if the goal is to have fun, sure... give the elite a run for their money in the unranked stuff. But don't throw me the new player into a dogfight I'm going to get torn up on. I'll just go play a different game.

Warhawk in 60fps would be awesome.

They could have done it, but then we'll sacrifice the smooth edges of 4x anti-aliasing.

OMG. Everything they said is exactly what I wanted and thought should be in a new Warhawk. Single Player, Sea Combat, Classes, and more players (controls are good once you get the hang of them, but I agree they should be a tad easier).

A single player campaign would be awesome especially if you get to play as either faction with a different story for both (If this does happen it can be similar battles in both modes just to make it easy for developers).

Sea combat should be a combination of land and air vehicles. Jet ski is equal to jeeps and jetpacks up to two passengers back passenger can shoot their weapons, and can fly off at any time. The speed boat = warhawk Carries up to 4 players, has a boost feature, and 2 turrets on the front for other passengers. And finally the battleship = tank the truck thingy and the huge helicopter thingy. Carries at least 8 players has multiple turrets on it for other players and allows Warhawks to spawn on it.

A class system would help with team battles, but I don't see how useful they'll be in death match. I guess it depends on what their abilities are. The class system is the one that Warhawk can do without.

Warhawk 2 should be the next 60 player game on the PS3. This would make sea combat even more necessary, because when bases run out of warhawks you see everyone else run for a vehicle so those who are left will run straight for the sea. I think they need to reward players who do things for the team with badges and trophies support (make most of the badges earned in multiplayer have to do with team work next go round).

warhawk is too fast for no auto aim.

p.s. I thought the controls were awesome what is this article talking about.

Warhawk doesnt need change but it requires "more".... basically more vehicles, more weapons, more everything anything. Aim is totally fine... it's perfect.

Sea vehicles is great. Mobile bases would be awesome. Capital ships, anyone? Anti air jeeps/tanks.

Yeah, don't mess with the aiming system at all. I am a captain after 6 months and all I can say is the lobby system needs to be sorted by badges and medals to prevent endless 10-2 games. Everyone who plays warhawk knows about its lobby. And it sucks. And next time, release the game so cheaters don't have MONTHS and MONTHS to cheat. And maybe staying with the game too. We could use another patch. Yeah right.

Make the graphics above ps2 quality
First person mode for on foot
In vehicle camera
More variety in warhawk designs
Bf2 style squad system and commander mode.

Oooh and multi person aircraft. Think like a bf2 bomber with different ppl manning different stations

More or less my thoughts exactly, i think a mission based map with one team's airship attacking the other's island base would be pretty epic.

Not needed if they include bots.

Warhawk has now established itself as a MP online game. Let the developers focus on MP and/or online Coop like R2, and get this perfected instead of wasting valuable time/effort on SP.

why you guys disagree with me
please tell me u dont like that BS flying into a jeep at full speed but not killing u and the man in the jeep crap

im cool with auto aim in or out but i think it would add some skill to it without it

and the cover system idea is good also the space thing

graphics are good now i would much rather they work on gameplay and just work on the graphics last but thats just me

more vehicles
more guns
more players
better character/vehicle customization something like the level of customization rainbow six

exapansion packs have been good - new vehicles/maps - but now they are reaching the point where they really have to revamp the game itself.

Just hope they get it right because it truly is one of the best online experiences on the consoles.

you can crouch behind a rock or a wall in Warhawk...why do you need a "cover" system?

spunnups - 237 days 3 hours ago

ok maybe you don't need a cover system. but put it in space, add a few more vehicles and planes and weapons, with a space theme. a single player online coop campaign where you can play on both sides. all these things add up to one epic game. i put a lot of hours into the first warhawk. this next one will easily take over my life.

The game ran at 60 FPS and there were no hitches at all.
The graphics were impressive but the art style is what is fantastic about it, art style shouldnt be sacrificed.

with the curent maps, even the biggest Vaporfield glacier, 32 seems just right.

64 would be neat if they can guarantee big enough maps and clever bots if need be to make up numbers.

dericb11 - 237 days 4 hours ago

Your right and it does not need one. Most people don't play single player unless they need to for unlocks, trophies/achievements or can't go online. Warhawk honestly would have had some cheesy single player for people to lower the games rating with. Since its not there 10 people want it for some unknown reason. If they play the game they could see that it would suck. On a final note the game would cost more. I would rather it be cheaper and drop the unless stuff then cost more and lose interest in a single player mode.

Sharpshell - 237 days 4 hours ago

BUT I still think Warhawk could have benifited from some sense of background. I was always bothered by the "its a war, go fight" vibe I got from the game. I would liek for them to keep the price/stragety the same where its an "online only game" but with a "campaign" which serves more as a tutorial/introduction to the world. By doing this they would provide a little background and allow players to get a grip on the controls before only play. I can remember being so frustrated by being torn apart my first few matches

Downloaded it the first night, the controls weren't a problem for me as they have been for other people. I think that game is amazing, and especially as an online only game. No need to know why the war started just know that you got your teams back.

FunAndGun - 237 days 4 hours ago

Warhawk is a frantic game. cover systems and no auto aim would slow it down. The first one is nearly perfect. All that is needed in part 2 is more content, updated graphics, more customization, and some vehicle variations.

Warhawk is the best multiplayer game I have played. There is just so much you can do and it takes a long time to master all the facets of combat.

I don't need a single player mode. A little more story/background would be nice. If they do incorporate a single player, I hope it doesn't take attention away from the amazing multiplayer.

Just put more objects on the ground to hide behind so foot solders can take more evasive maneuvers and it's all good. With everyone having auto aim, the ability to duck behind a wall here and there could drastically improve the avg life expectancy of a solder on foot.

I'd also like it if the ranking system allowed players to spawn with certain weapon load outs. Meaning the higher ranked you are the more weapons you have to choose spawn with, or the more weapons you can spawn with already, or something similar to that. This would give more meaning to ranking up, but not break the mold of the current game play.

It's not insomniac that made warhawk, it is incognito, plus I don't think it is the whole entire team that left just the director.

On topic, I love the controls, so they should remian as is, but like some of you said a floating city or mech would be amazing, and make it 60 players instead of 32, and how about water vehichles(don't need to be surface water o.o)

You're a garbage xbot. I bet you've never even played Warhawk. It's THE reason I bought my PS3 and is just plain amazing.

On topic, I really don't want them to implement a single player campain. I have a feeling it will suck and that they should just focus on the multiplayer, cause that's all that really matters :)

apena89 - 236 days 22 hours ago

warhawk is one of my favorite games ever played.

The only thing I want is where when using the motion controls to maneuver, the camera stays locked on to the warhawk that you are locked on to, Similar to LAIR, because this makes it easier to line up your warhawk for a shot than turning and looking for them. The camera will lock on to the enemy warhawk, then just tilt and adjust your warhawk to face the enemy, when the enemy is inside of your warhawk's aiming area, it locks on to fire, then just shoot away :D!

I'm not into online, even though I'm sure its a great game. I was a big fan of the first one and was devestated when they decided to go MP only. I think a SP Warhawk is due.
