Yeah I realized that when I looked for myself, but it's a bit confusing when you come to the thread and see a very descriptive post talking about the pack that has just launched. Also, I know I've asked earlier but what's the word on retroactive trophies? I tried logging into the game to see if they would unlock and nothings happening. I don't mind if it takes time for them to unlock after installing the patch, I'm just wondering.
The only retroactive trophies apply to specific badges ranks and medals. The more specific ones like killing a warhawk with any infantry weapon other than the rocket launcher are awarded when you acomplish them.
I found today that simultanious kills count for the vengance trophie when I shot down a warhawk right as his tow missle exploded on me.
Edit: I serriously hope the collection trophie will get people to realize how to play the game. It's such a cool game mode but the ignorance of most players is driving me to hate it. When I see MoronA score one core and MoronB scored one core 2 seconds apart I die a little inside.
I didn't think I would get the anti-air ninja trophy so soon but some retard I was fighting on the ground hopped in a plane and didn't feel like zooming away while I flamethrowered the shit out of his plane.

So then they are only partially retroactive.. Oh well, guess I'll just have to relive all my greatest moments. Like taking out a Warhawk with a SNIPER RIFLE! I'm sure that will happen again some time soon. Hell it probably happens all the time.. =P
Actualy the sniper rifle is an incredible anti warhawk gun 3 shots will down one. The one that pisses me off that it isn't retroactive is cowboy. I only have managed that once back when dogfight servers were popular.

Sorry! :oops:
Technically it WAS out ... in Europe. The expansion got released early over there, I assumed that it was out here too.
I was going to change the thread title once I realized it wasn't out yet in NA but I didn't bother since it's out today anyways (is out now!).
I bought and tried it. Honestly the jetpack is fucking amazing. It's like I'm playing a whole new game. It reminds of Tribes One. The expansion is that good.
I don't think I could ever go back to vanilla Warhawk after this. The only downside is that tanks are now basically fodder. Having a second man with a launcher in your tank is now a nessecity.
Go download now! This is probaly the best expansion and largest change to the gameplay dynamics I've seen in the game. If you like Tribes you'll probaly LOVE the jetpack.
Let me put it this way: It's physically hurting me deciding whether to play Castle Crashers or this. AND I have to go to a stupid wedding in Detroit for the Labour Day Weekend meaning I won't be able to play from Friday until Sunday. noooooooo.
I just bought this expansion, it's downloading now... I love that this game just keeps getting better and better. But I'm afraid to start playing it because I know I'll miss Obama's acceptance speech. Soo... eeee.... Obama? .... Warhawk... Obama... Warhawk...
One thing this game really needs in my eyes is bigger player counts. Even a 32-player game doesn't seem like enough on these huge maps. Tribes keeps getting brought up here... The first game I ever joined in Tribes 2 had over 90 players. It was a revelation. Why can't this be the norm nowadays?
Also, I don't like hunting around for weapons, it's a bit too old-school. I think there's room in this game to have custom classes, where you choose one or two weapons to spawn with. They're getting there a bit with spawning in the APCs and getting a random weapon, but you should be able to choose one or two, or make a class.
Anyway, nitpicks. Looking forward to jump in that jet pack.
Yeah, Class based gameplay would make Warhawk awesome, having to run around for your weapons gets annoying.
BUT ENOUGH TALK
JETPACKS ARE 50 FLAVORS OF AWESOME
Malechai, what do you think of Hero mode, just wondering
i find it it to sometimes be awesome and sometimes like chewing nails and not the finger kind of nails
I love it until the hero on my team decides to hop into a APC where you can't realy get any points. Only thing thats kind of anoying is when your the hero you have so much health it's realy hard to get hp back.
Good fun is to just snipe the warhawks out of the sky when your the hero due to the damage multiplyer you can one shot them.
Edit: For added amusment do a hero game on a dogfight server.
Man I don't know if it's because all the retards play at 12-3 AM or if I'm getting better but I've been getting over a 1:1 K:D for the last week or so.
This sucks. I have horrible luck with expansions. The last one came out, I played it for one night and my PS3 died. This patch with trophies and then the expansion pack comes out, and I'm moving and out of internet until sometime between the 5th and the 10th. I'm stealing internets right now, but I don't want to be a dick bandwidth hog and play Warhawk on it.
Man that does suck. While the jetpack is fun I think I enjoy the hawk to it still. Then again I love how nicely the WH MG tears up people flying with the jetpack.
Kinda pissed that I barely missed the aimbotting trophie in destoryed capital and after that sniper round buzzed him he was moving too fast for me to keep up.
I would like to take a double post in recognition of the fact that when I looked at my stats page I noticed that this game just turned one year old. Happy aniversery Incogneto, now make me a sequile to twisted metal black.
Damn it's been a real long time since I last played. But trophies had me intrigued. I'm just as terrible at the game as I remember but getting some trophies out of the blue motivated the hell out of me. I kept getting killed by a guy in a missle defense thing, I kill him and get the Anti-camper and Vengeance trophy in one shot. I also got the Warlord trophy since the guy who made the first PA clan passed it over to me (I don't know why) when his router died. I'm gonna try and play this more often now. Haven't even tried the stuff in the booster pack really. I like collection mode a lot too.
I love using the jetpack to get to really sweet sniping and missle launcher spots up on mountain tops. I have to say though that Warhawks own the hell out of jetpack infantry.
I haven't gotten around to redoing the OP however it's on my agenda.
The thread started over a year ago and has been updated reguarly which is the reason the OP "goes on forever". With that said I suppose alot of the older update items should be taken out. I'm thinking I'm going to redo the OP sometime in the next week outlining the core game and the 3 expansions.

There's already a new Twisted Metal in development by David Jaffe and Eat Sleep Play, the people that did the port of the PSP Twisted Metal to PS2. I for one can't wait. Now all I need is a new Jet Moto. Twisted Metal and Jet Moto are what got me to buy a PS1 way back in the day.
Jetpacks are sweet, and it's great tooling other people with rocket launchers (instagib to jetpackers!) but some jackass dodged something like 4 RPG rockets in a row on the jetpack. Anyone enlighten me on this process? He was in my LoS the whole time.

I've managed to dodge a few honestly think it was mostly luck. Way I managed it was cutting the thrust so I went into a free fall for a few seconds and then boosting forward. YRMV.

Since it's ridiculously easy to get killed by a rocket they made it ridiculously easy to dodge one. Just double tap R2 to boost and chaff comes out. The only way you can die is if you don't have anymore boost or you just don't react in time.

Chaff in jetpack mode is unlimited as long as you have boost left?

Aperantly, it would explain how easily I dodged those rockets.
On another subject, seems you can earn trophies on unranked servers at least I seem to remember getting the daredevil trophie while playing split screen with a buddie.

Yeah, but it doesn't help that warhawk machineguns can still swat you down like a fly
I keep getting tossed out of games due to a "network error", so it's being a serious killjoy for my Warhawk experience. I really wish the ranked servers would do some more interesting maps than just standard large ones. With every update and expansion they're adding more and more maps but here is the large map of Badlands for the zillionth time...
I'm nearing the completion of a great book (revelation space) and need to get some reading time in. So I thought I would do a solid and host a dedicated ranked server. Name of the server is pennyarcade, I'm rotating 5 maps, and they are all jetpack themed. The game modes being zones, and hero. I've found these to have led to the most interesting use of the jetpack.
Enjoy!
Edit. Nevermind. My internet is sucking right now...hard.

Well there are mdl and sml servers that usualy dish up the other map layouts but they tend to not be as popular as the lrg servers. Also expansion support is more limited on those I think that you only ever see the dropship on full maps.
OK for real this time. I think I got my connection thing worked out.
It's time for a labor day Warhawk game. I have a shitload of work to do on my house so I'm going to be running a dedicated ranked server. Name is pennyarcade. My PSN name is troykark.
I've decided to run a vanilla server despite my love of the new jetpack.
The maps are:
Destroyed Capitol -Zones
Island Outpost -Hero (one player is designated the hero, the team must protect them while hunting down the opposing hero)
Eucadia - Capture the flag
Archipelago -Collection (gather the coins and bring them to the base, I find this really fun)
The badlands -Zones
If at anytime you guys wanna change it up let me know.

Oh man I felt like a man last night. I haven't played for a while but I was laying in bed at 2AM, had to be up at 6:30 for work, and I just got a sudden urge to play. So I hopped up for a quick round and played for a good half hour which helped me get to sleep. Anyway while I was playing I was driving a jeep on one map along the outskirts of the map when I came across a random sniper rifle on a ledge. I parked the jeep and grabbed the sniper and just for shits I decided to look through the scope fully zoomed. At that point I'm looking over the battlefield and I see a dot running across the screen, a freaking dot! It didn't have a friendly indicator above it so I decided to take the shot, after which I was greeted with a trophy icon informing me that I'd just taken somebody out from over 2500 meters away! 8-)
