Warhawk Operation: Fallen Star Details

Warhawk players have been looking forward to each expansion pack with enthusiasm, looking for new ways to blast their opponents into dust. Their wait is almost over, as the Operation: Fallen Star expansion pack will be released this Thursday on the PSN. On the PlayStation.Blog, Dylan Jobe, Game Director of Warhawk, released details on the upcoming pack which will be released in two days. The first major announcement is the inclusion of a new map known as Tau Crater, which takes place on a forested island that has a number of vertical areas, such as tree branches, cranes and the wreckage of a capital ship. Players can scale the ship in a number of ways, including using the new jetpack that's included. In fact, Jobe mentioned that while the map layout for Tau Crater is large and contains ten separate arrangements, the development team added 30 bonus layouts in the original maps that allow for jetpack functionality.

Jobe also mentioned that the Jetpacks can be used with the new game modes included within the 1.4 update, Hero and Collector, to add to the experience. Jetpacks aren't simply default items; players have to run up to a machine known as a Daedalus Rapid Assembly Device, or a D-RAD. By hitting the Square button, the Daedalus starts making the jetpack for a player to use, which will take some time, controlling the number of flying soldiers providing death from above. In fact, he mentioned this very tactic, holding L2 to hover at the current altitude you're at so you can fire at enemies. R2 is thrust, but can also be used as a dodge boost tactic to escape in any direction you face.
