Actual PS3 Consoles are being used as the dedicated servers for Warhawk.

Just an interesting bit of info :)



 

I am going to the store to pick this up today. How big is the download supposed to be?



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Best thing about downloadable version (besides price - hard copy costs $80 in Poland while download is $40) is fact it works without disc   I'd love to play all games directly from HDD... like on PC (sic!)

Zones is something kinda like terriotories on Halo 2, but its actually fun.

 Also, the maps are so diverse and different that its ok if they have only 5 maps. Its well made. (as well as multiple variations of each map)

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Lets see how my memory serves me, I just got back from 5 back to back classes a little bit ago.

Gameplay modes,

-Deathmatch and Team deathmatch

-Dogfight (deathmatch or team deathmatch)

-Zones

-Capture the flag

There are also different sizes of each map. It's mainly to accodomate servers with a higher ping that couldn't support 32 players on a 32 sized map, but it's also crazy to play on a smaller map with 32 players as well. Smaller versions of the map will cause you to change your strategies a little bit more as the fighting will be closer and more intense.

Flying the Warhawk will take a little bit a practice to get used to. Mainly getting used to their hover mode (which is the only way you can leave the warhawk, people who don't know that get stuck and have no idea what to do) as well as their weapons, strengths, and weaknesses. There is the normal analog stick controls that boasts an auto-leveler that will level your ship back out if you take your finger off the analog stick and the other analog stick is the 'trick stick' (made that up) that will do rolls and flips for fancy flying. If that seems easy, you can change it to 'pro-flight' mode where there is no auto-leveler and you get full range on your flying, think like you're taking the training wheels off your bike. Lastly, there is the Sixaxis and while it will take a little bit to get used to, it has an advantage by how it free's up the analog stick so you can aim your crosshairs freely while you tilt the controller to fly. This comes at a trade off though because enabling motion sensing will enable it for the tanks and jeeps as well as warhawks.
