Warhawk

Warhawk is a video game that consists of 4 releases


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

A Warhawk in flight on the Eucadia map.
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. 

Weapons in Warhawk include

Assault Rifle- Shoots very fast but does little damage when far away.
RPG- Shoots missiles and also allows you to lock on to Warhawks and take them down.
Pistol- You always have the pistol when you spawn good weapon for close combat situations.
Knife- This weapon kills anybody in 1 hit if you manage to hurt somebody with it. 
Mines- Lay these on Warhawks or Vehicles and be ready for a pretty explosion
Binoculars- These handy little weapons are used for "air strikes" you paint whatever you want to air-strike and seconds later the air-strike will happen.
Sniper Rife- use this weapon for very long range shooting.
Wrench- You can use this weapon to heal your troops vehicles or your own. You can also deal damage to the opposing teams vehicles if you hit their vehicle with the wrench.
Health mines- These devices have a spray that heal your team if they are close enough to the mine, or they hurt the other team if they get to close to the mine.
Flamethrower- This weapon can be very deadly to anybody to close to the flame and is very handy for taking care of enemy vehicles.



Vehicles in Warhawk

Tank- Very slow but very powerful. This vehicle is mainly used to defend bases or just steam roll through another teams base. The front of the tank shoots a shell that explodes on impact damaging or even hurting anybody around the explosion. Also if you are very accurate if you hit a Warhawk with a tank shell it will automatically be taken down.

Jeep- These little cars are used to move troops across the map. The jeep has a 50 Caliber turret on the back which can damage other  vehicles and players. 

Warhawks- These vehicles can be very deadly in the right hands. Warhawks are what this game is all about. They are very fast and can deal massive amounts of damage with all the weapons they can carry. They are fragile so watch out for RPG's or tanks before flying to close to other players.


The points system

During a round you earn 3 types of points: Combat, Team & Bonus. Combat points are earned for killing the enemy. Team points are earned for non-combat activities like capturing bases. Bonus Points are earned via the Ribbons received in a round.
