Warhawk - NTSC-UK Clan based action

[DCharlie]

i think i saw a few of you guys on a random server a few nights ago ! Trying to figure out which clan to align my sorry ass with.

I spent most of the time being battered silly!

Great fun though.

I should have this later today as it was going through Customs at 9pm

Funny thing is, I got a note saying they had an item for me, turns out its the freeking Wii I ordered 8 months ago from Import Madness! ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!

Great fun last night. The smaller map at the end was best for 8 players I think.

Will try and be on for 20.00 UK time. It's a real pain not having the Bluetooth working. It seemed fine in the system setup on the PS3.

I'm not sure what to do about the max players. It said 12 max, but then Jebus said he couldn't get in when there was only 7 of us on the server.

I can't get more than 20,000Kpbs "down" and 1200Kbps "Up" where I live, so from a network point of view I am out of ideas. The PS3 is connected to my house network, on a decent Gigabit switch. I then have a passthrough onto the router and all TCP/UDP ports are open for the PS3. I had no other PC's/laptops on and the house server was off. If anyone knows how to get more than 12, let me know! Looking at the players we had ping from 40 to 120.

I didn't hear anyone saying it was lagging, so I'm sure it could handle more than 7.

If most of us on here can host gears matches which is 4 vs 4 then I'm absolutely sure your connection can handle 8 vs 8 at minimum, or maybe 12 vs 12...I don't see why it couldn't handle 16 vs 16 though.

[Yoshimax]

He can't because the game determines your max limit and doesn't let you up it beyond that - bit of an arse everybody seems stuck on 12. Looks like you'd have to setup your ps3 as a dedicated server but going from past games that's going to go to 24 max I'd imagine.

[Jebus]

So it's a bit like GRAW in that respect? Didn't GRAW do the same thing, just kicked people out if it wasn't being hosted by a MASSIVE line?

[Spatial]

Well Capcom's connection can host the maximum no of players in GRAW co-op which is the most taxing mode (that night was utter bedlam )

So with something like this he should be able to host the full amount no problem. Makes me wonder if it's something to do with the software that needs patching, or if it really was intended to be that strict.

didnt notice one bit of lag cap. Its obviously just a limit set by the software, maybe they've purposefully left 12+ games to be only on ranked servers.

As for the bluetooth, nige or yoshi can confirm but we spent weeks trying to get chat working for us on motorstorm and one of things they found was their headsets would often lose sync while booting up the game.

Just downloaded this last night and had a bit of a bash, would love to get some decent games with you lot, any chance of a clan invite?

MrFantazmo is my account name. I think i'll borrow a bluetooth headset from work to use tonight and over the weekend.

[Rockman_Joey]

I now have Warhawk in my possession! Thanks to VG+ sending my games via DHL!

I shall be on in a few mins but Im letting my BT Headset charge before use!

Thanks to VG+ putting thw value to $20.00 for Warhawk, TMNT *360*, Condemned *360* and DBZ Budokai for PS2, I wont be paying any tax! SWEET!!!

[yesteryeargames]

downloaded, how and when do i get in

[capcom_suicide]

I feel so stupid....

On the blue tooth:

Q: Can everyone speak at once?
A: No, to avoid useless background noise (such as coughing, air conditioning, etc.) Warhawk uses a "push to talk" system, just press and hold down your left analog stick to speak, and release it when done.

On the sever:

I am home alone tonight and will be hosting from 20.00 UK time until 23.00. It looks like it will be max 12 players. I suggest if you are eager to play with NTSC peeps, you are quick up. Perhaps someone else will host if there is high demand.

The server will be called:

NTSC-uk

The password will be:

norway

I will play rotations of maps and game types, looking at max 15 minute rounds, and not too high win scores. We had them set way too high/long yesterday.

I'm home alone with the baby, so if there is any stress I'll bail out and setup a dedicated server for NTSC-uk as above, but dedicated so perhaps a few more slots. So regardless of the baby viking behaviour, we will have an NTSC-uk community server up today, broadband gods willing.

As the voice comms are bit of an issue, and changing server options can't be done on the fly, then occasionally the server may boot. Assuming I haven't posted here saying "My PS3 has melted" then just try again in a few minutes, it's probably just the server rebooting.

That's the best I can do until someone with a T1 steps up to host 32 players. Investigation of the warhawk forums has shown that 800-1200KB up = Max 12, by design. The devs wanted there to be no chance of lag, so have gone for that.

[hudson]

Will send more clan invites out later on tonight.

Randella, I sent you one last night....I think.

[capcom_suicide]

Not so many people about tonight, and then my baby started crying....

Anyway, we can try again when there are more peeps online.

[JP]

I can't get on, I keep getting told that the server can't connect!
