No, that's just for registering for the site... so that's open to everyone. I should've just created a fake live account that said im from the USA, so I could get a download code or something, I'm not sure how it works, but I'd use my regular account to download it haha.

Ok, Warhawk is all kinds of fun. Except when you get suck in a small level with cheapass turret campers, but...

Seriously, 16-man dogfights are awesome. It's right fast paced and intense. I haven't done much with ground combat but it seems pretty solid as well.

Lando,

Fourzerotwo stated on his blog that as a thank you and apology for all the issues that Infinity is giving EVERYBODY who registered a token to get in.

He didn't state anything about being in the US; so maybe'll you'll slip through the cracks.

He stated that they would send out roughly 10K per day; so it could take up to a week or so before everybody gets their token.

Just keep an eye on your inbox/junk box. Maybe you'll luck out!

Are you getting it, Johnny?

I got it! :O

I haven't tried it yet though as I am waiting for my headset to charge up. :nod:

Warhawk does look decent; however, I've been reading the reviews and they are only coming back ok. I think an 8.5/10 was the best I saw. I know, thats good. I guess it was sounding even sweeter before hand.

If I understand, right. Its got futuristic effects to it; right? Not just a modern war type multiplayer game.

Well, you can fight in the air and ground.

I can't comment further because I have yet to try it. :nod:

Air and ground? Can do that in Battlefield 2. haha

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 8/29/2007, 6:10 pm

Its much better than Battlefield 2!

I tried it for a bit today and got my ass handed to me. :nod:

Of course I could've done better if I knew how to fly the damn plane. :nod:

Tip for jet fighting:

equip swarm missiles. Hold down L1 at all times to target the closest enemy. If you get a missile homing in on you, toss out some chaff or use the turbo (double tap R2) and/or right analog stick to spin around like crazy and run away.

Air combat gets way easier once you adjust to how the jets handle.

It's confusing. :nod:

I don't know whats worse, learning how to fly the jet or figuring out how to work the bluetooth head seat. :nod:

So, the PS3 has gained another exclusive in Haze, which was originally going to be for PS3, 360 and PC. It hasn't exactly been said 'this is PS3' exclusive' but it has been confirmed that the PS3 is/was the lead dev platform (game's done now) and that they are not working on any 360 or PC ports. So I guess it theoretically could still wind up on the 360.. just not for a while.

Also, here is a developer walkthrough of one level. It looks pretty sweet.

I'm smelling a timed-exclusive on this one.

MGS and FF I have lost hopes, for.

Warhawk is starting to get more and more fun!

Shame that I can't get my head set to work. :I
