MrJimmy is right, let those of us who’ve bought both packs, mix them up. Also, I can see updates and DLC continuing on this for a wee while yet. What might be awsome to consider is that perhaps the DLC and existing maps could be used in any future game too. Kinda like Unreal using old maps and mods. Anyway, this is all likely a pipe dream (I wonder where that phrase comes from?)

See you there peeps.

Again I find myself agreeing with the LordOfRuin - a new Warhawk could be amazing. There’s life in this version yet through, I’ll be going for this map pack once I’ve got the damn MGO update through.

I’d prefer to see some APC AND Dropship maps as well, surely most purchasers will have both packs. All they need to do to support that is make sure the filter option works with a server map selection flag

You know, I can’t wait for the next installment. I don’t mean another map pack thing, I mean a whole new Warhawk game. There must be something in the pipeline. I’d like to see all the same game mechanics, just new graphical goodness, using all that’s been learnt so far, and then pushing the PS3 a little further. Ol’ Resistance is getting 60 player online soon, so who knows what’s possible after that. I guess we’ll be up against the bandwidth issue. I wonder how much data load these games put on the net connections we’ve got. Personally I have a fair usage cap of about 40Gb a month and blast that most months (not just gaming of course), but if someone were on a lighter service, how much would they get through? Mmm! Anyway, I’m blethering. It’s Friday afternoon and quite frankly, if I pull my finger out, I’m leaving early for some more cold weather action. See you there peeps.

oh,,

not that im a member of the H8 squad but,,

the only bad point of this update is the fact that you cant have a drogship and an apc in the same game!! which is silly, i dont care if some people are too broke to buy both updates, thats not my problem, a drogship would be the a perfect counter to the apc!

i was playing a bit yesterday and the new APC was not as powerfull as one might think.
because they are so big and filled with lots of people they are great targets for any pilot coupled with the fact if you do take it down its garenteed to score highly.
a good tow missile shot will take one down or take most of its life only to be finished by a few machine gun rounds. the shield actually take a while to deploy its not instant, and the boost isnt that fast, just fast enough to get away from a tank when you need to. so it does not upset the balance at all, just gives more tactical options.

that apc is darn powerful.

had a quick game this morning where our team had a constant stream of apcs attacking the flag usually with a full complement of people due to spawn-to-apc.

the opposition where on constant defence.

it changes (some games) of warhawk from a laid back tactical + stealth shooter into a full-on twitch gaming fireworks show.

good but oh-so intense.

new snow map is ace though.

but will someone tell me why every person who has access to fast upload speeds ( i.e. can host big servers ) seems unaware that they can change the map from the HUMONGOUS Tundra Assault?!?

please people!

I liked the new map but wasn’t happy that the official servers all changed too. The mix stuff doesn’t work for me. I liked a whole server full of TDM as I’m rubbish with the planes and I get bored with CTF and Zones.

I played on some player hosted games but 2 out of 3 times the host disconnected toward the end of the game.

I could host my own game but I liked the official servers before, so I could dip in and out if it was a good crowd playing or not…

yeah this is awsome! because of the assymetrical layouts it creates loads of different crazy hot spots around the map =D
