Warhawk: Omega Dawn Impressions

Coming in at essentially eight dollars ($7.99), the new pack will give you:

* A new map called "Omega Factory", and its 6 different layouts.
* A new aircraft called the KT-424 Combat Dropship.
* 5 new layouts for maps from the original game, taking advantage of the new aircraft.

Getting into a game that took advantage of this content was initially rough. It's no secret that exclusive content splinters the user base, so finding a full game with 31 others willing to shell out 8 bucks took me longer than I would have liked. Hopefully this is only a temporary problem, and with time more will pick it up, but one worth mentioning nonetheless.

If you've played Warhawk then you know it takes time to learn every nuance of a map, as they're quite large. This new Omega Factory is no different. It's a very dark (night time), industrial area, who's rocky surfaces are lined with giant pipelines. Two giant towers, only accessible by air, overlook the battlefield, giving the map a very vertical feel. I'm not going to pretend to know the map perfectly, but it seems to be equally balanced between air and ground combat zones. The new airship fits right at home here.
