Yes you probably heard about the next free update for warhawk. You probably heard about the new weapons and the HOME integration. But what are the new weapons? And what can you do in HOME with warhawk? The Playstation Blog has all that information and much more. There is plenty of news that can't fit in the quote, so click the link to read all of it.
#1 Mechanicâs Field Wrench:
As you might expect, this piece of equipment is used to repair vehicles. Once you get the pickup, you swing it just like the combat blade. Then, just walk up to, or onto an allied vehicle and âwhackâ it with the wrench. It repairs wicked fast so itâs very effectively during combat. On the offensive side, not only is it still a one-hit-kill against troops, but it can be used to damage enemy vehicles as well!
#2 Bio-Field Generator:
To use a Bio-Field, grab the pick up and throw it down like a proximity mine. It sticks to walls, ceilings, anythingâ¦including vehicles. Then, if any ally stands within its bio-reactive field, his health will quickly regen. Alternatively, and this is where some neat tactics emerge, if an enemy walks into the bio-field (yes, bio-fields are color coded), theyâll take damage â their lungs sizzling like baconâ¦.mmmmm bacon.
#3 HOME Game Launching:
Yeah Babyâ¦So our HOME integration is coming along nicely and this update includes a great, and much needed feature for Warhawk. With the release of v1.3 patch, players will be able to form groups, meet in their apartments, discuss tactics, and then launch a game of Warhawkâ¦all together!
When youâre in your apartment, all you do is whip-out your virtual PSP, select âcreate gameâ and pick Warhawk. From there, you get to start your own player server, pick a game rotation, set server options and thenâ¦BAM !! Launch Warhawk with all of your friends!! You can also pick to not make your game viewable to the other Warhawk players around the world, or you can make it a âpublicâ game that puts all of your friends into the server together, and leaves open slots for other global Warhawk players join.
Games launched from HOME show up in the global games list in an attactive gold color.
Now this is just the beginning of what weâre gonna to be doing with HOME and thereâs some really neat stuff on the horizon. Iâd love to show you more of the cool HOME stuff that weâre working on but I suspect Iâd get a PR-shank to the spineâ¦or possibly a lung.
So I gotta say that Iâm actually super relieved that weâre putting in *REAL* legit value for players and *NOT* making HOME a portal for SONY to jam branding and marketing schwag down playerâs throats!

This will probably get me back to playing Warhawk.
I think Home is going to end up being pretty freaking awesome. It's good to see they're taking their time on it and hopefully in the process giving up the best experience because of that.
Cause it makes me connect to PSN before playing.
