Warhawk: Online Too Full? Preventing Gamers From Playing

September 02, 2007 in News comments 18

It seems that Warhawk, the recently released exclusive Playstation 3 game, is frustrating gamers. The Online gaming seems to be the problem. The online servers of the game seem to be too crowded, preventing gamers to get into an online game. Thus, gamers are waiting an average 15 minutes just to start playing.

It may seem that, the PS3 cluster server isn’t able to handle this much of a crowd of Warhawk players, and now many of them are getting mad over trying to find an uncrowded server.

    That's my ONLY complaint with this game. They definitely weren't expecting for the game to be NEARLY as popular as it has become.

    Shouldn't have made the game so good. If only people kept hosting RANKED games, there wouldn't be this many problems.

    Some online games just fail to approve the online play connection cell.

    Online is the mode that has to be the most worked on for each company that hosts online games. Keeping it alive without lag when its crowded requires allot of memory in there connection cells.

    Is it solely because of the crowded servers or because they are dependent on game consoles for their servers?

      It's solely because of overly crowded servers.

    Haha why is everyone seeing this as a bad thing?

    This is the best bad thing that could possibly happen to a game. The game is so popular we need more dedicated servers! Hahah, sweet!

      Leave it to Jimbo to turn something like this into a positive.

      You need to apply for a job at Sony Defense Force.

        How is this a bad thing?

        They clearly didn't expect it to be as big a hit as it is, this isn't a difficult problem to fix.

        Come on Cdemon, even you can see that. You're not dumb, stop acting like it for the sake of trying to bash a console you will own in the future.

          How is this a bad thing? It's bad because people who've purchased the game have to wait before they're even able to play it.

          Unless you work for Sony or Icognito, there's nothing positive about this. What do you have to benefit from this, Volacide? Nothing. You do, however, have to wait before you're able to start playing. That's definitely something I wouldn't be too positive about.

          Easy Cdemon, in a world where everyone seems to think the PS3 is going to go down in a fiery ball of flame things like this are reassuring enough to make one realize that there are actually quite a lot of people out there enjoying their PS3.

        Umm, if you would actually pay close attention to the issue at hand, it's not ALL the servers that are full, it's the RANKED servers...since you don't have the game, that's easy to miss. However, those that have the game don't have to wait for shit as the unranked servers are common to find and easy to join in.

    They should have kept the single player. I was looking forward to the large scale battles with hundreds of friends and foes killing eachother.

    This problem shouldn't be too hard to fix. But it's good news a PS3 exclusive is gaining some popularity.

    I downloaded WarHawk today expecting it to jam packed... but there's always space in a handful of games. You can join a game easily, you just have to scroll down the list a bit.
