Based on the original PlayStation game of the same name, Warhawk for the PLAYSTATION 3 opts for team-based multiplayer action on the ground and in the air instead of single-player flight combat.
The New Warhawk
Warhawk is a remake of a PlayStation launch title of the same name. It was developed by Incognito Entertainment for the PS3 and released on August 28, 2007. Warhawk is strictly a multiplayer experience, though a single-player mode was planned and scrapped. Warhawk marks the first time a PlayStation 3 game was released on both Blu-ray disc and as a download through the PlayStation Network. While the two versions are compatible, there were some differences. While the PSN version was cheaper, the disc-based version included a number of behind-the-scenes featurettes, as well as a Bluetooth headset for in-game voice-chat. The disc based version also lets you host Warhawk Lan Parties with only one copy of the disc between multiple PS3's.Gameplay
Warhawk supports online multiplayer matches with up to 32 players in a single game and 4 way online splitscreen from a single PS3, Sony and Incognito provided dedicated servers for players to play on, additionally individual players could also create their own servers. Though the player begins as a bare soldier armed only with a combat blade and pistol, he can jump into an assortment of land-based vehicles, turrets, as well as the titular Warhawks, which are essentially futuristic harrier jets, able to switch between a hover and a forward-thrust mode. The game includes Sixaxis support when piloting a Warhawk, though you can also opt for traditional, analog-stick-based controls. There are six match types in Warhawk: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Zones, Hero and Collection.The game is divided into two different factions the names of the factions are Eucadians and the Chernovans. Each have unique uniforms and vehicle designs for each, gaining experience and leveling up unlocks different uniforms and designs for vehicles, as well as various insignia that are displayed on different parts of the player and their Warhawk / Nemesis.
