Greatest Warhawk Moments

With rumors of Santa Monicas next project on the rise, Starhawk, the supposed successor of one of the still most played online multi player shooters for the PS3; Warhawk, many gamers are recalling some of their most fondest memories of playing. Some may be insane kill streaks, ridiculous laser strike kills, and down right absurd vehicular man slaughters, but one things for sure; there was never a dull moment.

My greatest most satisfying moment in Warhawk happened when I first picked up my PS3 and played the game, I had a buddy play online via split screen with me. He was the hard core 360 fan boy type. So we are about 30 seconds into the map on Archipelago, he's following me to a jeep when he said "dude this game sucks, where is everyone?" I told him "The maps are big and it just started, give it sec." When all of a sudden -- "zzzhhhooo", I sniper domes me from the supply room at the top of the map, and he's like "oh shit!" In which case he turns around to run away and gets tow missiled to smithereens, in which he yells, "wtf are you serious, that just happened?!" He owns a PS3 now and still plays Warhawk.

Another was a blunder, when I laser struck a warhawk. I was targeting a drop ship with the designator when as soon as it charged, the drop ship moved and an enemy warhawk zoomed right into it. I then proceeded to almost die of laughter on the floor in front of my couch.

Share some of your best experiences...

Not Santa Monica anymore... Lightbox Interactive you ignorant little brat. Spicy demon child from Planet Iwantmore.

[TOO PAWNED]

If it has single player and if they fix controls i am going to get it.

[unrealgamer58]

what's wrong with the controls? I like them

[koehler83]

First of all, Lightbox was NEVER Santa Monica, they were Incognito.

Second, Santa Monica continues to help with development of the game. They host producer meetings, milestones and greenlights as well contribute to cinematic and music composition.

[TOO PAWNED]

No exactly. In Santa Monica that is where Sonys "main base" in USA is, where rest of devs come to show their game to Sony higher ups. That does meen Santa mOnica helps on every single game. We know when they help, like in case of that game company or Ready at Dawn.

is one of my favorite games of all time. This is a true gem & I still play it quite regularly.

[Godmars290]

My best moment is between holding and harassing from an enemy's base on the island map for most of a game, and taking out at least half of 16 player group with binoculars during a capture the flag session while they were trying to reclaim their flag - I grabbed it and scored the point after!

My worst would be taking out a fresh tank on foot, only to see four more coming up a hill.

[cpt_kaos]

First of all Warhawk in underrated - it was one of the most fun MP games around - just incredible.

I remember playing CTF on Badlands. Some dude got into our base, jacked our flag, stole a jeep and was taking off down the road. Me and some other foot soldiers where shooting the jeep and it was smoking and flaming - another bullet or two and that thing was going to blow sky high....I was sure we had him! Just as his jeep is about to explode I hear this loud whooshing sound and this drop ship swoops down, a wall of turret fire from the drop ship started leveling all the foot soldiers and it lifts the jeep up and takes off!

It was just after Omega Dawn came out so I hadn't seen a drop ship in action yet - it was so epic right out of an action movie where the hero gets saved at the last second.

I had a similar occurrence, I was getting away with a jeep and I had a gunner and the passenger had the flag, the gunner took out a warhawk trailing us, I dodged a tank shell, and we were in the clear. We drove under the last tunnel to our side of the map, when we were greeted by not light at the end but a drop ship, it turned, dropped it's gun turrets, and I was like, "oohhh shhiitt", I power slid into reverse, making for the other end of the tunnel, but as soon as I turned around, the tank I dodged a second earlier was waiting, and "boom", that was the end of that.

This was one of my first PS3 games, and it was real fun. Loved the split-screen support too.

I didn't play it much (I borrowed it from a friend),, but I fondly remember setting up mines in CTF games and playing CTF. It was a fun game.

Definitely overlooked, and I would love a sequel. It has a solid community even to this day, though they are all full of top-level players who I will never be able to compete with anymore.

This game made the first year owning a PS3 worth it. I dropped so many hours into this game, I havent gotten into an online shooter like that since SS Tribes.

[Terarmzar]

I got this game a while after it came out and at first i did not like it because i felt it had a steep learning curve but eventually came back to the game and loved it.
I was just playing it again today and had some fun.
The only downside to this game is gamesharing with a friend, which causes one of us to not be able to play for 24 hours, which i think is far too long for something I payed for.

[VMAN_01]

One of my first PS3 online experiences and boy was it amazing, i'm going to reinstall this game and start playing it again! I think my best moment was on archipelego and looking down at the islands to see how much chaos was going on.

[Calahad]

Warhawk should go down as one the best games of all time. Its really that good.

I was number one in the world for a while, but college got in the way:)
Priorities man.

i use to love kidnapping my team mates in a warhawk.

[Scottyabanks]

With the drop ship?

[bellz22]

no, just a normal plane. land your warhawk next to a team mate who will think that you're offering them a lift. once they're inside, fly off, they cant get out unless you land the plane.

[Dark_king]

Best memory I had was jumping out of a warhawk and taking out the two that were after me.Got the first one with my wrench was all luck and the second with my rifle.Only to have my teammate run me over with a warhawk a second later.Man Warhawk is my all time favorite game.Ever vehicle had great balance none were the best to use,all had advantages and disadvantages.The warhawk was great fun and flying it with pro flight on really took skill and really paid off to master.

[jwk94]

Best memory was when my cousin first got the game so I teamed up with him in splitscreen and he got the flag while i was in a warhawk, and I started pushing him while he was running, so he was running super fast, we then proceeded to win the match =D. I need to pick this game up, luckily it's $10 used at GS.

[jellybalboa]

after playing for hours just before i exit the game i go on a killing spree and kill all my team mates, when they are dead i keep stabbing them so when they are spawning they can see the brutality on there tv screen ha ha ha ha a ha he he he

[Scottyabanks]

Lol douche bag.

[Scottyabanks]

One thing I constantly try to do but have not to date, is kill a warhawk with a carpet bomb.

[wildcat]

You have to get em right when they're getting in.

Hover around the enemy base using the anti-air camouflage until you spot someone hopping in a warhawk. You have to release the cluster a moment before they get in or else they'll just fly off.

[wildcat]

My greatest moment was defending a teammate for a coast-to-coast flag capture with time running out. It was utter chaos with fire coming from everywhere and Warhawks streaming the sky with bombs of all types. Nothing has matched that intensity and scale. At the end we barely captured it in time for the win.
