Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
11 hours 55 mins ago
Warhawk has just received an update to version 1.4. Update 1.4 changes things to the play list, types of games and returns of a lot of dogfight servers. If you haven't played Warhawk in a while, this would be a good time to get back in the game.
-By popular demand, playlists which include the largest layouts now include only the largest layouts. They will no longer occasionally rotate into medium layouts.
-By popular demand, respawn times have been set to 3 seconds.
-By popular demand, Broken Mirror servers now offer dedicated CTF and ZNS games in place of the mixed playlists.
-Dogfight servers were added back to the list. They were inadvertently omitted before.
-All games time limits were reduced to 15 minutes, and ZNS score limit was reduced to 5000, to combat complaints of prolonged base camping.
-NEWBIE servers were changed to Rookie to bring the nomenclature in line with upcoming changes in v1.4.
-Pro servers were changed to Expert to more obviously indicate a skill level rather than a player type. Some players incorrectly identified Pro servers as tournament games, a la MLG or GGL.
-Casual servers are essentially the same as before, but the Casual designator has been dropped. We now refer to these internally as just standard servers, and they are listed without any special identifier.
-The rank cap on Rookie servers was increased to Wingman, since players were getting kicked out of these servers too quickly and finding themselves unprepared to play on standard servers.
-A rank cap was imposed on standard servers at Command Marshall. This is rank 15/19 so it should not affect a lot of players. The intention is to pull some of the most elite players out into their own category, somewhat narrowing the rank gap on these servers.
-Many Omega Dawn exclusive servers were removed due to lack of use.

Otherwise, nice changes, too bad Omega Dawn isn't exactly used much, I love playing in Booster servers.
