Warhawk Patch 1.3 Launched (PS3)

New gear, user-created paint schemes and insignia icons are now available.

By GameSpy Staff April 2, 2008




Incognito released a new patch for the online PS3 shooter Warhawk at the incredibly early hour

of 3 a.m. this morning.Among the updates, two new pieces of equipment have been added. The

Bio-field Emitter is a device that can be dropped like a mine that will slowly heal your

teammates or damage your opponents. Also added is the Mechanic Field Wrench, which is a

wrench (similar to the Engineer's in Team Fortress 2) that enables you to fix friendly vehicles

and damage enemy vehicles.In addition, the winners of the create-a-paint-scheme and create-

an-insignia contests have had their works integrated into Warhawk. You can now select from the

best of Warhawk's user-generated content in-game.Aside from these updates, various other

tweaks have been made including significant alterations to the VOIP voice-chat system. You can

now select between push-to-talk and open-mic as well as tune the voice-activation level so that

stray sounds don't interfere with your crucial orders. Cross-team chatter can be enabled as well

so that you can talk smack directly to the other team.PlayStation Home functionality is also

undergoing some refinement, which means nothing to most of us, because Sony has yet to

release Home to the general audience. Still, it's nice to be reminded it's part of Warhawk.For

more information on Warhawk Patch 1.3, check out the Patch Details page at Game Director

Dylan Jobe's PlayStation blog or just watch a nifty video highlighting the Patch 1.3 changes.
