Not sure how this will even be remotely like Warhawk if it is in space. Warhawk has plenty of on foot action, ground and air vehicles and all about using terrain to your advantage. Not sure how you do that in space. Seems like it will just be a multiplayer Wing Commander.

@GPman:

Nothing wrong with that, but imagine if you could board a space station and take the ground fight there.

I played the demo for Warhawk and wasn't all that impressed, though undoubtedly for being too late to the party to find enjoyment in it.

If this turns out well enough, I'll do well not to let that happen again.

@Szin: Perhaps it is a clever juxtoposition of Warhawk and Warbird, perpetrated by one of the other writers that Crecente asked to make an image for this article?

As others have said, a single-player campaign is a must. I've bought one multiplayer-only game for my PS3, it's too expensive to buy another one considering I don't play online all that much.

I dove into multiplayer too late into the game to be very useful. At that point people would just hunt me down and blow me up repeatedly.

When I played locally though, it was great.

@mjn328: I actually bought the game on release day, but after a few months i stopped playing. When i came back everyone was freaking GOOD. I was getting demolished. Same thing with Metal Gear Online

@mjn328: In theory, no one has an advantage over anyone. All players have the same resources. But in Warhawk, learning how to be lightning fast is key to be better than most.

As long as there's a single player campaign and not multi-player only, I'm in. Seriously, for me, the loss of Warhawk's single player missions is one reason i'll never pick it up.

@Foxstar Sixtail: Yeah, I picked up Warhawk hoping I could get into it, and it was a well done game but I was just terrible at it, wasn't enjoyable because I'd always get owned. I'd prefer to play a single player campaign on an easier difficulty, I'm just generally bad at vehicular combat lol.

@Foxstar Sixtail: All you "I want single-player" have missed out on a great multi-player game. Price was great and servers are still plenty full. Good stuff.

@synrg023:

@wazzzup16:

I didn't buy TF2 because of that reason. For some folks, they can play multiplayer only games for YEARS, as Counter Strike has proven, but for me, single player comes before multiplayer. While multiplayer can greatly boost a game, more so if it's done right. (L4D, Saints Row 2, Mario Kart, Brawl, etc), I have just personally never been a fan of multiplayer only titles even though I jumped on broadband the moment I could get it down here in Fla and I've had Live within 90 days of it's launch on the Xbox 1..I will always be a bigger fan of a game that puts the bulk of it's development in the single player first and then focuses on multiplayer.

More so when it comes to console titles where a few years after the game is released, if the servers go down, your screwed, compared to PC where there will be people hosting CS servers 20 years from now.

Oh, and I didn't realize they were behind War of the Monsters. I'm going to have to go to the store and pick up a copy today. I traded it in, way back in the day when I actually traded in games, and have regretted it ever since.

Warhawk was, up until Killzone 2, my favorite PS3 game so far. Absolutely incredible.

What killed it for me was the expansions kind of killed the experience. That's not to say the expansions weren't incredible, because they were. The problem was that not everyone bought them, and it thus fragmented the community to the point where only a few people actually had the latest content. What was the point of spending $8 if no server was going to run it?

I think a lot of that could have been fixed if they had the official servers always running the latest expansion, and keeping those lagging behind stuck to the personal servers being run by random people online. Sure, it would have seemed a bit underhanded to force everyone to upgrade, but it would have at least forced a basic standard rather than making it feel like I just wasted my (admittedly little) money.

I bought every expansion save the last one, the one with jet packs. All the new content was great, but no one was really using it. Kind of frustrating.
