Forums - Sony - Is warhawk supposed to be fun?

'Cause I just bought it, and I'm not having much fun.

 

I just got it along with the bluetooth headset, and after a couple hours with it, it has failed to entertain me. I have no idea what I'm doing, and with an utter lack of tutorials or training modes I'm pretty much forced to get my ass kicked over and over as I try to figure out even the most rudimentary things such as "how to fly a warhawk". I get about five seconds of practice before twenty missiles lock onto me.

 

I can't seem to talk to anyone either. I don't even know if people can hear me. I went through the whole set up process for the headset, and I think it works. If I hit L3 and start talking then after a second the speaker icon next to my name lights up, but I don't ever seem to find anyone else using the headset, and if I do I can't understand a damn thing they are saying.

I went ahead and bought the booster pack assuming that if I pay more then I might have more fun, but I'm just not sure.

 

I hear that there is a VGchartz league and I'd be interested in playing, but I just don't know what to make of this game yet. It seems to have potential for fun, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

Make a server just for yourself to figure everything out, once you get the hang of it you'll like it.

I don't know anything about the headsets since I don't use one.



As in go buy us some coffee.

The patch coming in a few weeks will add trophies and more importantly for you, tutorials



in a few weeks tutorials won't mean a whole lot to me.

We just released our v1.4 Update a month ago and we’re ready to upgrade our players to the latest version–Warhawk v1.5 which is tentatively scheduled for release on August 27th. We’re currently in the final phase of global Sony certification testing and all is looking good so far!

 

Training Tutorials

As more and more people join the Warhawk community, we are seeing an even greater difference between skill-levels than ever before. New Warhawk players had to go online in order to learn the game and, invariably, they would encounter enemy players that were, shall we say, not too kind to newbies This made it really hard for players to learn the ropes, get familiar with the controls, weapons, etc.

So…The new v1.5 Update includes 4 very simple tutorials that can be played off-line. Each one focuses on the core principals of each of the 3 modes of gameplay: Infantry, Ground Vehicles and Aircraft. Now these tutorials are very, very simple and It wouldn’t surprise me if some of our more hardcore players find them way too pedestrian. But we’re looking to help the *new* player, a player that may not be that familiar with Warhawk or the shooter genre. These tutorials are an invaluable help to a newbie!!!

After completing each of the 3 core tutorials a trophy is unlocked – a nice incentive for new players and, well…all you avid Warhawk players can think of them as “easy-money”.

The forth training tutorial, “Flight Practice” is intended to be replayed over and over again, and help players get familiar with the most rewarding, and most challenging of the 3 gameplay modes: Piloting Aircraft!

In this one, you are tasked with destroying as many attack drones as possible in 3 minutes. These simple, hovering turrets fire swarm missiles at you as you practice flying and “scrubbing” missiles. This tutorial is a huge help for new players by giving them a safe, offline way to practice their piloting skills.

Now I know that there are many players out there that often engage in 1v1 dogfights for fun and bragging rights. And while these tutorials are way, way below your skill-level, you may find it fun to do “speed-runs” and compare kill counts.

Is warhawk supposed to be fun?

No, they actually just for grins and giggles decided to make a terrible game just to see if people would buy it and ask that very same silly question.

(and for you people that don't know how to take a joke and take attacks in any way at all relating to a game or system you like way too seriously -- I am only joking you simps).


furthermore I can't even jump into a quickgame, it never finds a suitable one. What's up with that?

Most of us, if not all, start out like that in Warhawk. We get killed every minute, and we have no idea wtf is going on or what to do. Try joining the rookie servers. They're in blue with the word rookie in the title. After a while, you'll get better and enjoy the game. You could a make a server and learn some of the controls and weapons. The league is every Saturday.

WE also have Naznatips joining us who bought the game this week, so you would not be the only one learning the ropes.
