Warhawk is not gay.. it just has queer tendecies..

[GOAT]

Despite the title I enjoy playing with friends and in a team atmosphere.. so far I've had a blast and liked the game but I also have never played in single ranked room.. that was until last night..

 

Bersak and shell finally talked me into joining one of those server provided ranked rooms..

 

 

1st spawn... 11 sec. I spawn with my pistol and saw at sniper rifle nearby so I ran for it, another guy was just behind me, I went in the silo to get the rifle and he turned back, but only to toss a grenade in to kill me so he could get the rifle..

 

Fuk'n idiot.. you want it that bad just ask..

 

2nd spawn ... 5 sec's spawned took two steps and was fragged by a friendly warhawk..

 

3rd spawn... 16 sec's screw the guns I'll just jump on the rocket launcher.. got to the top got on the launcher and was immediately fragged by a missle lock???

 

4th spawn.... 8 sec's I tossed a grenade at the fuk'n idiot that fragged me for the sniper gun.. and tossed another one at my feet committed suicide and QUIT!

 

 

FUK Warhawk... back to VEGAS!

[Guest H.A.V.0.C]

Goat, I feel your pain on this. Although you want to bash the game, it is not the game but the people who play it.

While being here, within the UF community, we well I guess the best way to but it is get spoiled. While from time to time a bad apple makes it way here, we have a great community. When the bad apple is seen it is thrown out to preserve the good.

 

When we venture outside the the safety of the community, we put ourselves at risk. It also makes you appreciate the UF community even more. I have played in numerous rooms that were good and then numerous that there were problems. I would say about 50/50. Just like you have stated, in the bad rooms all you have is tk'ing going on. People trying to get weapons before someone else. Telling you not to use a certain weapon because it is cheap. Nothing will change outside the walls of this community. That is why we are here.

I would DEFINATLEY argue your 5/5 on Game Servers. Is there lag NO but the fact that it says 20/32 game full, stats not saving, stats being deleted when they do save would make it a 3 out of 5.

 

I like the fact that they have ping indicators, sorely needed function on Socom and a network test to determine how many you can host when creating a room is a great feature as well.

 

I would love to see how many Socomers would be surprised on how bad their connection is if they ran this test. I have 15 down and 1 up and can only host 16. There are VERY few that can host 24. Most of the people that I know that play Socom and try and create a room on Warhawk are limited to 4 and they swear they have a great connection.

[Guest [iLL] Andawg]

Goat,

 

My experiences with Warhawk have been pretty close to exactly the same. Except I'm probably a little better and live longer, .

 

The time we had with all the [odc] boys Saturday was a lot of fun. I like the game, but will only play it with a large group of intelligent people in a pw'd room. A group of people that actually know how to use the mic feature.

[[PHS] Pai_Mei]

My two close friends were beta testers for this game...I didn't care for it then. The coolest thing was playing split-screen online with Mobius_570 sitting there playing too.

 

I think it's more monotonous than Socom, Games with powerups tend to be redundant...IE Halo, Quake, Timesplitters, Battlefront, battlefield...all very good games for a change of pace, but none are mainstay games. These are the games we turn to when Socom aggrivates us...

 

Personally, i prefer the SEMI-realism offered by Socom where you get your weapons you start with...then you need to kill someone to ammo up... The ability to creep up on someone from behind because the didn't check their 7 o'clock when going past that door...And finally, when i die, I'm dead for the rest of the round, no suicide runs just to find a location and attack it differently right away.

 

Then again, maybe i can just say that i don't care for sci-fi or distant future video games. Ghost Recon 2 is about as futuristic as i go.

[Rockman35]

Goat I am with you there and had almost exactly the same crap happen on Saturday afternoon. First TK was a knife kill from behind and when I respawned to get even I was turned extra crispy by the flame thrower!! Just completely ridiculous.

 

Now I gotta agree with Andawg. We set up a pw'd room the other night and had a lot of fun with it. We need to get some friends invites out there and just set up pw'd rooms to avoid the foolishness. Feel free to send me a friends invite..same name as listed here. There are 16 or 17 odc members that currently have Warhawk. We will get on that to unwind from our UF wars. I think there was 16 of us the other night eyy Andawg???

To answer your question highlighted in yellow....

 

The reason is because it will not let you in a RANKED room once it has started. Although it says 24/32, look at the time. If you get in with 1 minute played, then yes it will let you in but if the match is on 15 minutes of 20...then it will not let you in. It's not the servers....it's the way they have setup the RANKED matches so someone can not just jump in the middle of the match. Test it....go to a room that has a undisclosed number that has not started and jump in....I GUARANTEE you that it will let you in the room. I thought the samething as well but that was the problem....you can't join a room that is in mid match. So, I still give it a 5 out of 5

[GOAT]

Yes, that I think that was me that set up the room the other night dawg, I admit it is one of the few games that having a business server, 5 isp, blazing connection actually helps. I can set up any sized room I like. Unlike Socom where I find if I turn on every computer and set them to downloading mass amounts of porn or something then have the dog chew on the Ethernet cable, my guns in Socom actually register!! Goat figgur??

 

I set up a ranked room after the idiot experience, just to see how it functioned..

 

Problems

1) I can’t password it.

2) I can’t watch or hear anything in the game or in the lobby?

3) I can state no kids, team killers, or idiots.. in the game desc. But I have no way of knowing whether or not any of that is occurring.

4) the ping rate is cool and I did boot two players who’s pings were above 600!! Sheesh 600 ping! Wow. But that’s all I get to see the general stats page and the ping page.. BORING!!

 

I’d be happy to set up more pass worded games for UFw members and friends. Or even ranked rooms, (since I can always just let it run and jump on the 360 for awhile) but if it’s ranked I need someone in the room and at the same time on AIM or something with me letting me know who needs to GO!

 

I did have fun in the passworded "UFw-Clan" room I put up.. I admit flying that seeing eye dog missile across the map into the gun torrent Uncle Sid was on, was a hellofa good time!! LOL.

 

But for me public ranked rooms and their so called Stats are a joke for Warhawk, I’ll pass.

Then how come on the PS forums they have stated they are working on that problem? If the reason you suggested is why then why wouldn't they just say that?

 

I will have to check but I could have sworn I have gotten in to a ranked room in the middle of a round.

[SHANE23]

This is a quote from Dylan Jobe, Warhawk developer from the PS forums.

 

"We have a team here that is working on the stats issue right now. I have nothing concrete to report though and I'm not about to post a status update on untested speculation :-)

 

@KILLREAPER -- the "room number problems" you are mentioning...are these the issues with a server that says 30 of 32 and then when you join it says "game full"....eventhough it STILL says 30 of 32?

If this is what you mean then, yes we're working on this one. If you mean something else, please elaborate so the team and I know what problems you are facing."

 

 

 

[Epidemic]

Don't know, but this is what I look for and I haven't had a problem thus far.....

[Guest [+30]PuddyTat]

something else to consider...when you join a ranked room, the game does not "start" until the room is full. i played in a ranked room for three hours last weekend, and didnt recieve any credit for it becaus e the room had 10 of 12 players, the ranked game never actually sterted. but it is a fun game. it feels cartoony to me, shich is why i like it. a break from the "realism" of socom.

[Guest -Fury]

boody ]

hahaha poor goat! I havent played warhawk but i wasnt all that impressed with vegas..

 

That's because it was meant to work for the 360 but Sony needed to try and sell some consoles so they had it created for the PS3 also.. everything you want to do, play with friends, add people, message, it's like a puzzle with no pieces missing.

[GOAT]

Yea Puddy, totally agree it's very cartoony even more so with the character's jump.. the first time I saw it with the legs flapping up to his @ss on the jump I LMAO!!

 

Even so don't get me wrong.. "Warhawk is gay" yes well that wasn't to say the game itself is all that bad, like Bandit so eloquently put, it's not the game per say but more to the people who are in the game you are playing in. I agree a 100% Bandit perhaps we are spoiled to a certain degree giving that on those rare occasions these days I play Socom. (My love of Socom will never fade, I'm just hoping the server issues will be better once they release a Socom version for the newer PS3 servers) I only play in rooms where I know the folks I'm playing with and never venture into public unknown ranked rooms.

 

As for clan participation in Warhawk, as far as I can tell rank gives you very little, new colors, and other junk that makes no difference in game play, there isn't really any incentive to gain rank, i.e. you don't get new or better weapons, armor or anything that may give you a slight advantage over any other player, A general is no different from a recruit in this aspect. So I'm not sure why rank has any importance in Warhawk?

 

Giving that, I'll still play but I have no desire to play in rooms with idiots. If you can't password a ranked room then who cares.? I would prefer to play in a room that the ability to control who can enter is giving even without any rank points then have to put up with idiots simply for the sake of gaining meaningless points.

 

Since Smoke is very busy with other ventures.. at least for the time being.. if you guys like I have no problem with putting up a UFw-Clan passworded room a couple of nights a week. I'm thinking maybe one night a week and Sunday nights around 7 central. Shoot me an pm if you need the password for a room I put up but, I've got most of you guys on my friends list and everyone already knows which password I use. I'm sure if your not on my list, there is someone who is that you might have on yours and they can fill you in.

 

In the mean time, I don't care, I know Vegas has some issues as well, but for some reason I enjoy shooting AI's more so than foul mouth'd kids..

 

Add to that Andawg has talked me into picking up GRAW2.. Never played this series.. but OK DAWG!! I got it.. I'll spend a couple of nights getting used to the controls then make room for me in that co-op story mode you were talking about. Try not to get too far ahead of me! eh!! LOL.

 

Lastly in the ranked room I put up I set it at 24, with a 8 man min. The game stays in Pre-game mode until their is 8 players, then it started right up, players came and left for the first couple of rounds and even into the next couple of games.. but once it hit 24, and the game was on if someone left another player could not join untill the next game. But new players were able to continue to join, in every map and round. At least I noticed this was true for Capture the flag. However the last map was a 20 min Team Deathmatch and it started with 10 players on each side.. once it started no more players could join.. I'm not sure if game type is a factor but I did notice no problem with the flag games as far as players coming and going and this was not the case with Team Match, as I saw players log in but not allowed to enter the game even if they tried several times.

 

Anyway, let's see if I can get this security tape off the GRAW case and have a look eh! Something tells me I'll give it a good start and then go get my Vegas fix in! LOL.

 

p.s. -Fury, I finally signed on to X-box live and got a character going for Vegas, it's taking a bit of time learning the difference in Controller settings for the box, but I think I will enyoy this. My 360 id is GOATgto but the "O" is a zero.. seems some pinhead without any imagination of their own already had my id.. LOL. Send a friend invite and fill in the nub on navigating the 360 realm..

 

Peace yo.

Goat.

[Guest [iLL] Andawg]

Um, is rank important? I have seen a lot of great UF players on SOCOM that are buttersticks, so I am pretty sure rank is worthless. I don't get a paycheck if I have a higher rank, so I'm not worried about it.

 

And Goat, GRAW's co-op doesn't exactly have a story mode, but it's still playing with a small group with a common goal and it takes teamwork and patience to defeat a map. I look forward to it with you and whoever else is into co op style of play.

[chris_pheonix7]

just to state my opinion. the game is fun and the only problem i have is the joining game issue
