Thanks to Dylan Jobe, game director of Warhawk over at Ingognito Entertainment, details of the upcoming Warhawk update (1.5) have been posted on the US PlayStation blog. While the main focus for the update, as highlighted previously, is the addition of trophies, there are also some other goodies thrown in - here’s the rundown:
-
Trophies - 56 in total (some for booster packs, some hidden and some retroactive based on server side stats)
Custom Music (via the in-game XMB)
Tutorials - four new tutorials to help beginners into the game
Clan leaders can now retract invites to the clan
New Paint Schemes & Insignias - created by European competition entrants
Participants of the GGL tournament will receive a in-game GGL-Ceremonial Knife, winners will receive the Champions Blade
“Rookie” Server colour coding - servers for new players only will be highlighted in green
Various bug / exploit fixes
Quite a list, and not bad for free! Jobe leaves us with a hint for a future update… “With one of these equipped, a soldier can escape quickly…even bail out if needed!”. What could he be talking about?
John is teh Rookie Server King

DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!!

Have been getting back into Warhawk recently and what a great game it is… this patch will just continue to improve the game and add longevity to it.
Like the offline training option, and rookie servers! Jetpacks for the next update me thinks, or maybe parachutes…..

Cant wait, but warhawk could be so much more. It’s not bing used to it’s full potential.
Imagine creating your own maps like a weird cross over of LBP and WarHawk. maybe new modes or a large amount of new vehicles.
with the jet pack wont it be too easy now or maybe just as fun hitting bailed pilots with the warhawk.

you forgot one thing ” JET PACKS “

check ” psnathome.com ” they have the break down of the trophies and what is needed already, and they are the ones who advised of jet packs in the upcoming update

might have to start playing Warhawk again soon and get my very first trophy.. JohnSketch camping club permitting
@ manley - the PlayTV is still waaay overpriced for what it does. for the £20 i spent on a usb dvb stick i can do exactly the same on my PC then copy the video to my ps3 to watch via remote play etc… oh well.

Warhawk - the one game that actually justifies my PS3 purchase.
Seriously, I have nightmares about Sony loosing Insomniac as developers…..

@elephant_stone - congratulations! That’s awesome that you got your signum in the game.
The JetPack idea was mine! I posted it in the official warhawk forums in a post entitled “warhawk weapons”. Strictly speaking I don’t know for sure that the devs used my idea or thought of it for themselves!

Regarding trophies and Warhawk - it’s worth mentioning that although there are trophies to be had from playing game in the expansion pack; these are not required for the platinum trophy.
