Spending $688 at Best Buy getting my PS3, Resistance, House Season 3, and the Computer AIDS infected Bioshock has left me kinda gunshy about spending more money on games.

Don't have it yet, will have it after another week or so as long as the reviews don't shoot it down. It and Metroid Corruption are on my Amazon list, and my birthday's next week, so I'm in 'want it now but can't buy it in case someone got it for my birthday' limbo.

I have it and am in love. I played for 10 hours in 2 days. I can't stop. I didn't even want to come to work today.
Most fun I've had with a team base shooter since DoD.

Are players actually hosting the game or is Sony providing dedicated servers to play on?

Players can host the game if they choose, but it's like hosting on a PC. A dedicated server can't be played on locally, and a non-dedicated server can handle fewer players, 24 instead of 32. Sony's hosting a fair number of dedicated servers, so easiest to just use theirs.

So if you have two PS3s one can be the dedicated server with 32 players?

Yah. But I doubt we'll see people lining up for the opportunity to buy spare PS3s for server duty.

As great as Warhawk sounds, I'm having just a bit of a difficult time paying $500-$600 for a console with barely any games on it. That worked for Nintendo in the past because of cheaper consoles, but Sony's goliath has too high a barrier of entry.

Hm. Is it worth picking up?
I have to discard prior addictions to play this. Also, I am going frisbee golfing again today.

If you have any interest in PC style team based shooters than for the love of god yes. I have not been this excited to get out of work and play a game since I originally got addicted to EQ. |

Yeah. Sony just announced that they have no more of the 60 GB models in their inventory so they are all in the hands of retailers. I went to look at the list of games to see if it was now worth picking one up and I was like, "eh". |

I just made the clan Bat Country with a tag of F13. Moaner, is your name Moaner in Warhawk? There's a bunch of (lol) Gamestop Managers who will probably be joining the clan.

I'm Happy_Hedonist in Warhawk. With any luck I'll be playing all day tomorrow.
Oh yea, I don't have a mic yet. I didn't think I'd actually play the game long enough to really justify one but now I'm thinking I'll pick one up this weekend.

What is this game. I don't really think you're allowed to ask that general of a question on the internet. Gametrailers.com, kid. |

Mostly I don't trust trailers. I want 10 minutes with the gameplay.

There's 2 new gameplay trailers up of flight that are really, REALLY representative of the craziness and the air trickery those... "planes" can perform.

I bit the bullet and picked this up last night.
The Warhawks are fun, but I'm glad that there is enough on-foot arsenal to take down one without too much effort.

Don't know. Won my first (and only game I played) by about 10-15 kills (go go SAM), and found out afterwards it was an unranked survey. Which is a shame, because when I was done, it definitely wasn't unraped.
