Incognito fixing Warhawk problems

Posted on September 5th, 2007 at 14:44 EDT

Recently, Warhawk was released for the PlayStation 3 and many people devoted their lives to it over the Labor Day weekend. However, consumers were slightly dissuaded upon the discovery of several technical faults.

The three main issues reported are as follows:

* Stats and Ranking errors, delayed posting, missing stats.
* "Connection Failed" or otherwise messed-up join game errors.
* Network Drops/Disconnects (we have a fix for these and should be deployed in the next service window)

The team at Incognito replied to the community assuring them that they are working very hard in addressing these issues in a timely manner:

"I want to let all of you know that, contrary to some of the posts here...the team was not sailing around, enjoying the labor day holiday while you all played and earned medals that were ultimately never awarded to you," said Incognito's Dylan Jobe.

Jobe further added: "Our team here at Incognito along with our great support team in San Diego were, and continue to be, diligently working on these issues. I want to reassure everyone that while we *have* been quiet these last few days, it is NOT a sign that we are off on some tropical island somewhere...we are hard at work on the big issues."

"I'm not going to spin it and say 'oh.... we just had soooo many players.....so successful...blah, blah, blah.'---That's a bull**it PR answer.”, he said.

So, don't fret Warhawk players. You have been assured a flawless technical game very soon. Hang in there.

Pretty greedy in my opinion they rushed to get this game out for money. How could they not know these problems existed, they are big ones. And they had beta! I still love the game, but man i hate when companies release games early that have such huge problems warhawk is having. Its super fun, but would of been worth waiting till they released it working properly. I mean its an online game only, the problems are dealing with online only problems! Come on guys

max it turns out your a pri*k you should hang your head in shame selling out for a f**king xbox. Also you cant spell for s**t which shows what an illiterate f**ktard you really are.

as for the warhawk problems i'm glad incognito are aware of these problems and are dealing with them.

These might be problams due to so many people loging on.  They had a beta but that probably didnt stress the servers or w/e enought for them to find these bugs.  I could be wrong since I dont have Warhawk or was in the beta :(  I'm planing on buying it... just not sure wich version to get.  Retail or Download.

yeah, right atleast the xbox has a game i can play cough gears cough, not stupid resistance and warhawk that has a thousand bugs.

at ^^^ (Max)

As higlighted in the article 3 main errors.  All of which are quite common for a brand new game that is online only. The only way they could have dealt with these problems better would be a larger Beta test, but they didnt, so get over it.  No game is perfect.

and BTW.....  I laughed so hard when you said 360 is more powerful than PS3.

Do you have any facts to show us proving it is more powerful?  Lets see does the 360 have a cell processor...... no.

zerozeon that was funny

and xbox sucks a** and there ar thousands of bugs in gears go on youtube. Warhawk was just realeased a little to early but i LOVE CTF in warhawk

Max...I have both and I can tell ya this...they both have great features but neither console has been placed as a clear winner yet...the 360 has a load of pretty decent games but nothing spectacular...Gears is a good laugh with your mates but the game is pretty buggy and there are loads of cheats and glitches that people exploit online.  Having said that there hasn't been a PS3 game that has made me glad a forked out the cash on release, motorstorm is great but it's fairly short lived...resistance is alright and oblivion is multi platform...Virtua Fighter 5 is good but also short lived unless you like beat em ups.  All in until the next round og PS3 games come out there's no clear winner so if you can't afford both pick one but  don't slam the other and become a fanboy just because you don't own them both.

I am proud that they came out and let us know that they are working on it. They did not bs us and say to many players blah blah blah. They came out and were real about issues. I love this game I am willing to wait it out

ps3 can play images of rain falling on a dock in 4-d. also, some games come with HD videos of game developer interviews. plus, it has 6axis which is really so radical.  and i can totally watch finding nemo which is the best movie ever OMG in HD bluray full glory. however, the games are pudgarific. by that i mean they are chonky. since i dont like to do any of the aforementioned activities, I will take my Xbox any day thank you.

Max, dont be an idiot... why would you talk about xbox 360 in this one?  All that did was make everyone mad and talk about 360 vs. PS3.  who cares? buy both and love em both like me!  I want warhawks bugs to be fixed fast.  I spent 60 bucks on it and i wanna play it now.  I will just keep playing resistance then... oh well.

anyone who think the xbox360 is more powerful or better is a frickin retarted. anyone who has a xbox360 shouldn't be allowed to live! I wouldnt have ever been happy with a xbox, i playd gears and some other games on the xbox 360 and they are the worst games ive ever played. i cant wait till halo 3 comes out and has a bunch of crappy problems and such, than i can laugh in all your MS lovers faces! F**K You MS and all your F**k'd up fans who think the xbox is anything more than a piece of s**t. Sony4forever!

Miss Maxipad41592 is just bored over there at the Crapbox 3sh!tty fan girl site....thats all folks. Its says alot for a system thats so great, yet people can only cling to 1 or 2 games. She knows that saying stupid sh!t would gain her some attention. Ok...now that you've had your fun, you can go back to waiting for M$ to send you a new console because you first 3 had a case of the RRoD....its ok, we understand :)

max41592: The 360 is no way more powerful then the PS3, also... Resistance has no real flause, as to were Gears Of War has glitchers. You know one of things you pay to not have happen on XBL? You know nothing obviously.

Enacku: You say they pushed it out because they are greedy, maybe they did it because they did not want ANOTHER game pushed back for the PS3, in which you would most likely complain about that too. I guess nothing makes you happy at all.

warhawk is awesome. So some of my easy peasy badges havent been recorded boo hoo. The gameplay is awesome and if this game reminds you of battlefield then you are narrow minded and/or ignorant. Its very different and i'd say better. You can actually fly in this game, in BF the controls were F*ing impossible to deal with

Yeah, i hope they will fix the dam server, because its the worest online server to play is warhawk.

These aren't even all of the problems. Yeah, the ranking and stat system full out crappy due to a vast inaccuracy, joining games is just plain ridiculous( game saying a 5 to 32 is a full match), and connection problems riddle this game like co*kroaches in a c***k house. But there are even ingame issues. Picking up a weapon that seems to not appear in your inventory( even though the icon on the field disappears, occassional inability to pick up weapons whatsoever, as well as occasionally not being able to enter a vehicle. This game is so littered with trash, and its funny because in another article I saw, some high up Incognito stated that "We would never release a game if it was buggy and crashed all the time"... Yeeeaaaa riiight. And whats even funnier is that the person who was interviewed for this kept refering to them being out in the islands and what not. Sounds like hes full of guilt if you ask me. Of course they were out partying, thats why its taking so d*** long.  And to all the people slamming 360, it is a really good system. I love PS3 too but 360 does indeed have better online play, and is more easily accessible. As far as it being more powerful, they both average close to the same, the PS3 pulling just a tad ahead of 360. As for better games... one word... Mass Effect. That arguement is done.

 

I also think its funny when PS3 fanboys slam great 360 games... funny how Gears of War was Gmae of the Year... also, if I remember correctely Oblivion was also game of the year(for 360 mind you). What is PS3 going to pit against 360 this year?? Lair? Warhawk? If Halo 3( which keep in mind I despise already) doesn't get game of the year, Mass Effect will. If that doesn't Bioshock will. And next year rest assured Fable is a heavy contender against anything PS3. Sonys only problem is marketing. They would have 360 bent over backwards if they knew how to market and their reps werent so damn lazy.

@ShadyRaptor Warhawk launched with a few issues, that's true. If someone hosts their game with a slower connection you do get those issues you mentioned. However Warhawk is still the king of multiplayer, and those who play it agree with me. Also, you are an Xbox 360 fanboy and shouldn't bother posting your biased nonsense for others to read. For every game you list I could list a better PS3 game. Finally, yes Sony needs better marketing. But how can you expect them to compete with Microsoft's FUD and Astroturfing?

To Tabular.

You say I am biased? I'm a fanboy? One word for you sir. Hypocrite.

Most of the people posting here shouldn't be talking crap to anyone about biased statements or anyone being a fanboy. You all are PS3 fanboys. Besides I don't only like 360. I hate it when people rail on about people being fanboys because their "system of choice" turned out to be a lackluster  system with hardly any decent games. No Warhawk is not the best multiplayer experience. 9 million people disagree with you sir in saying that World of Warcraft (keep in mind I don't like this game either) is unfortunately the king of online play. As far as console, Halo is an inevitable best. I hate Halo but will admit that it is betyter than Warhawk. I hate Microsoft, but am man enough to admit they have produced a better system than Sony. Blu-ray player? Yeah, let me go buy Lethal Weapon 2 on Blu Ray for 30 bucks, filled with a whole bunch of bull**** extras I will never watch... Yea smart move guys.

 

As for you Tabular: Gears of War, Call of Duty 2, Bioshock, Froza Motorsport 2,Dead Rising, Lost Planet. Here are six of 360's argueably best games. Now list six games(PS3 exclusives or not cross platform to 360)... That have been rated higher by the majority of online reviews. If you cant think of six, shut your turely biased, narrow-minded mouth, and fade back into inexistence.
