Warhawk (PS3)

You're not always in the sky in Warhawk

Warhawk is Sony Computer Entertainment and Incognito's air and ground based multiplayer shooter. While the game started out life as a fully featured single-player shooter that was to feature online elements, development took a massive shift in focus and the game became one of the PlayStation 3's most sought after multiplayer games.

Due for release later this year on the PlayStation Network and as a Blu-ray title at retail, we've got together all the info you need on the vehicles and weapons. In part two we take a look at the ground vehicles and weapons.

Ground Vehicles

4x4

Capable on holding up to three people, the 4x4 is an off-road vehicle that provide very little in the way of armoured protection, but compensates for this with its speed allowing ground troops to cover ground quickly. A rear-mounted automatic machine gun allows a passenger to provide back up support while travelling in hostile zones.

Tank

The tank is deadly

The tank is slow-moving, heavily armoured vehicle that can hold up to two people. While its heavy weight and build makes it an easy target, its thick armour is capable of withstanding repeated hits from the strongest weaponry. The perfect tool for bustling through enemy lines, the tank is equipped with one deadly mortar-firing cannon that can even blast aircraft from the sky. In addition, a second rider can pop in and out of the tank's turret hatch to provide support.

GROUND WEAPONS

AAA/P 30MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT EMPLACEMENT

This heavy weapon turret is ideally suited for anti-air attacks and is not very functional against ground units. With a small ammo storage capacity and long reload rates, using the Anti-Aircraft Emplacement in a hot zone is a risky proposition.

HOMING MISSILE SYSTEM

The Missile System is a great long-range weapon that comes with an additional lock-on function. Like the Anti-Aircraft Emplacement, using the Missile System leaves you vulnerable to enemy attacks from the rear, and it also has a slow reload rate.

STA/S-19 EMPLACED ACTIVE RADAR HOMING MISSILE SYSTEM

This weapon is identical to the rear-mounted machine gun on the back of the 4x4. It is a good all-purpose heavy weapon and can be used against vehicles and troops. Due to its high rate of fire, this mounted Heavy Machine Gun can overheat, leaving it temporarily inoperable until it cools down.
