I'd started a new match and got the Cruise Missle. Fired it off and targetted a lone guy trying to make a zone grab.
Felt that moment of satisfaction when the missle hits and target is obliterated.
Then realized I'd just killed teamkilled Malachai ... It was a "oh fuck WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!" moment. I'd got confused which colour I was on , and killed my own teamate ... also the only other fellow PA'er on the server
Sorry Malachai I felt like a total asshole =(
Was a preaty awsome shot though :P
Yeah it was a pro server so full on friendly fire. I was all like hey guys I'm gona make a push on this zone feel free to back me up. Next thing I know, boom.
Ouch, sounds like I missed some good fun last night. Sorry guys. My best story is on a broken mirror map, I think Island Hopping, there's 3 apcs. Well, the other team got two, and have been pretty much owning our face at home base. I grab a jeep, blitz out, head to the southernmost base, and find an APC. I get in, head back to our base, and I'm watching what the hell has happened to their APCs, the bastards were using OUR WRENCHES to fix their APCs.
Not gonna happen on my watch. I prepare for the speed burst, and then one guy on the other side notices me. I launch, and BAM, knock the apc and the dude into oblivion. The other APC moves so I can hit it on the same burst, and I maneuver, and down goes two. We still lost because my team was eating paste and huffing paint at the time, but it was fun.
Gotta get some grub now I'm afraid. Woo, good to get a few games under my belt and doing fairly well now! Two flag captures in that last game. It was like they weren't even trying.
The new weapons are pretty awesome, that biofield restores a shit-ton of health and the wrench can keep a tank going for ages.
Yeah that was the first time I got to try them. Two bastards in the first game we played came charging at me in a jeep and JUST before they ran me over I lobbed a Biofield at them. I died but then got credit for two kills from my biofield.
Guess they didn't spot it on the boot of their jeep in their haste to get to the flag!
It's a great defence when on foot against pretty much any vehicle. Some git came flying down low in a warhawk (pretty much landed on me) and started pelting me with bullets. So I jumped and threw one. It attached. He died.
Such a fun game It's a bit of a let down we have fewer European gamers, or at least guys that play around the same time as me!
The biofield is also really awesome in conjunction with the bubble shield. So nothing outside the shield can hit you, and if they try to come in, they're getting hurt.
Alrighty then! I've spent a few hours playing some smaller matches properly and having finally paid attention to what was going on, I think I understand the jist and flow of the game. I Just wanted to know, err many things about the radar and enemies:
1. Are all occupied vehicles on the radar (warhawks/the big thing from omega expansion/jeeps/tanks etc)
or
2. Do they have to be firing to be on the radar?
3. When the warhawk gets that eye invisibility thing, is it on the radar?
4. If you are running around, i dont think you appear on the radar, do you only appear if you use a weapon - and do you have to successfully attack (hit the target), or just fire?
and
5. Does using the wrench/knife also place you on the radar or do they not count?
6. If someone spots you insite do you appear on the radar, do they automatically appear if they are within a certain proximity, even if you cannot see them in your fov? what about if you fire at them-do you need to hit?
and when you spot them/fire at them:
7. Do they appear on the radar for everyone or just the person that spotted/fired?
8. How long do you last on the radar?
9. For the time that you (as an enemy) are on the radar, does it update your position?
ehh, if anyone can answer any of them, I'd really appreciate it. I think i know a few of these myself, but just wanted to be certain and get some clarification from you vets

Unoccupied vehicles appear always on radar. Tanks appear if they shoot, Warhawks appear always (unless they have the invisible thing going on), jeeps don't show. The dropship shows always. I don't know about the APC since I don't have that expansion yet.
4. If you are running around, i dont think you appear on the radar, do you only appear if you use a weapon - and do you have to successfully attack (hit the target), or just fire?
and
5. Does using the wrench/knife also place you on the radar or do they not count?
You need to be firing to show on radar, you will not show just running. If you have the knife/wrench equipped, you will never show, even if attacking.
6. If someone spots you insite do you appear on the radar, do they automatically appear if they are within a certain proximity, even if you cannot see them in your fov? what about if you fire at them-do you need to hit?

Personally I think the expansions really add alot to the game. Aside from the new vehicles, the new maps are great (the one in Broken Mirror is one of the best in the game IMHO).
Vanilla Warhawk though is still great ... Warhawk in general is, bar none, my favorite game on this generation of consoles and the level of support for the title is the best I've seen on any console.
I'll be on later tonight (after 10 EST probaly), me, my Warhawk, and my Budweiser's.
I think Broken Mirror is pretty essential. The APC just adds so much, and it makes the matches so much more fun. Omega Dawn, I think is good fun, too, and you can't go wrong paying the extra 4 bucks for that, too. So, yeah, I'd recommend the combo pack.
I think the game just doesn't want me to play the new map, though. Most of the times it finally comes up in the rotation something happens or I have to leave. This time, my PS3 just turned off and had a blinking light. I hope to hell it's ok, but yeah....
That came after having some freaking awesome games (including a 16 kill 0 death one).
I know that when I had my ps3 on for like 2 or 3 weeks straight it started shutting off on its own. After leaving it off for about 6 hours didn't have that problem anymore. But yeah blinking red light is suppose to be a heat warnning.
In other new, got my first warhawk level badge last night for ground combat.

Mine was only on for not even a day. I had it idling on the Warhawk menu screen for a few hours. Hopefully the bastard lasts through the MGSO beta, and hopefully MGS. Maybe I'll beat the piss out of my PS3 when my warranty's about to end just so I get a new one. This time I have everything backed up on my PSP's mem stick, so I'm not as worried. Wonder why, if the PS3 has such a good track record with breakage, I keep getting the shitty ones?

Well hopefully it's a one time thing. You got yours back from sony right? Buddie of mine got a refurb from game stop that kept overheating. Then again it's gamestop they don't realy do verry good QC.
I just got my first Warhawk Wings ribbon. I grenaded a full APC to death. It was awesome.
Question for you guys, what does IAR mean in the requirements section for medals? Global I assume means total on servers, but IAR? In a round?

"In A Round". Which is quite handy - a lot of times the IAR requirements are a little far fetched for nearly all but the most hardcore players. The global requirement, though, means that even casual players still have a shot at getting them so long as they are persistent.

I think I'll get that bundle, BTW I'm still not on the PA players list and I've requested to be added multiple times. What do I have to do to get on that list?
We actually didn't have a general players list. There were two lists in the OP, the first (near bottom of OP) was the original clan that fell apart after a few months, the second list is the current clan of which Rdreamer (PSN nick) is the clan leader.
It's easier to find people if you get Rdreamer to give you a clan invite, using the clan function I'm usually able to find a few PA'ers every night.
I guess I could do up a new "General PA nick list" to make it easier to get people added into the clan/friends list ...
Hell it might just be easier if somebody makes a new thread called "PA PSN tag list" or something ...
Regardless I'll add you to the first list in the OP.

We're not really a hardcore clan that drills tactics and that. Its just so you've got a list of fellow PAers infront of you if you want to play and team up with someone We've got a weekly Thursday game and it really helps to access the same game they're in if you're apart of the clan.

My version of tactical training:
Replace mass effect with Warhawk, and you got it.
If there was a way to Lime pics... Yeah the learning curve is preaty steep in warhawk. Even steeper now that they combined lv 2-4 servers into casual and pro. Still love it and I think I'm almost getting on par with the skill of the lv3 and 4 guys.
I think the only time I've managed to kill Malachai in a warhawk is swooping in unexpectedly and launching a homing missile and chasing it with a hail of gunfire. If I ever get caught into an actual hawkfight with him, yeah, I'm done, game over :P

I think what I lack in Warhawk skills I make up for in proxies, like when I tossed one into the hideout of the enemy flag carrier and he couldn't make it to the exit in time.

Nope. It's invisible to radar.

Someone spotting you doesn't put you on radar.
Everyone - I think.
Can't confirm this. 10 seconds at the least.
Yes.
Hope that helped.
