-Chernovan 4x4: Essentially the same as the Eucadian 4x4, only with a different visual style.

-Deathmatch: An all-out battle for the most kills, where no one is your true ally. Win by getting more kills than anyone else in the battlefield.
-Team Deathmatch: A team-based variation of the traditional Deathmatch scheme, each player's kills are added to a team total at the end of the round, and the team with the highest score wins.
-Capture The Flag: Each team has a flag in their base, the goal is to capture the opposing team's flag and bring it back to your base while defending your own, the team with the most captures at the end of the round wins.
-Zones: A less-traditional mode, Zones forces teams to cooperate to capture the most land on the map. The more land a team occupies, the higher their points increase, and as always, the team with the most points at the end of the round wins.
Q: How many maps are in Warhawk?
A: There are five "planet" maps, each containing 5 "sectors", totaling 25 maps for the game. The maps are as follows:
-Archipelago: A group of islands that are thousands of feet in the air. There are several smaller outposts, and a central base for teams to take control of.
-Badlands: A desolate region used only for the mining of rare minerals. There is a fortress located in the middle of this wasteland.
-Destroyed Capitol: The remains of the sky-high Eucadian capitol, perfect for some intense dogfights.
-Island Outpost: Two islands joined by two bridges, each containing a vital military outpost.
-Eucadia: A series of war-torn villages in the mountain region of the planet of the same name, the perfect stage for massive assaults.

Weapons:

-Pistol: Unlimited Ammo, Short Range
-Combat Knife: Instant Kill, Melee Only
-Rifle: Rapid-Fire, Low Damage
-Flamethrower: Severe Damage, Short Range
-Sniper Rifle: Longest Range, Low Fire Rate
-Rocket Launcher: Lock-On, Can Kill Self
-Grenades: Fast-Exploding, Can Kill Self
-Proximity Mines: Detonate When People Walk By, Can Be Destroyed With Any Weapon
-Binoculars: Artillery Strike, Takes Time to Lock-On
Warhawk Weapons:
Here are the weapons/powers that the Warhawk can use:
-Machine Guns: These have unlimited ammo, but can overheat and can't lock-on.
-Swarm Missiles: You can fire up to 8 or these at a time, has a lock-on feature, but is easy to evade.
-Homing Missiles: These can lock-on to enemies, and are hard to evade, but you must hold a "bead" on the player for a certain amount of time to complete the lock-on.
-TOW Missile: A player-controlled missile that does massive damage (like Genji 2), drawbacks are limited fuel and that you have to put the Warhawk in hover mode to use it.
-Cluster Bomb: A bomb that spreads out 25 explosive across an area, effective against ground troops and ground vehicles, but precise timing is needed.
-Aerial Mine: A proximity mine in the area, deals a ton of damage, but just floats in one place and is easy to destroy.
-Energy Weapon: A chargeable weapon that can deal plenty of damage to any soldier and stays in the area for a while to kill the remainder, but has limited energy.
-Avionics: Turn your plane invisible, to both the naked eye and the radar, but severely limited in time, once you attack, it stops working.
-Chaff: A spray of foild that shakes off any locks that other players have on you. A valuable defense item.
Turrets:
Anti-Aircraft Turret: Fires four missiles in order to take down even the strongest of Warhawks.
Homing Missile Turret: Can lock-on to all vehicles, and very effective against tanks.
Machine Gun Turret: Fires a stream of bullets in addition to some grenades. Effective against ground troops and jeeps.
All turrets have the same weaknesses: They are stuck to the ground and don't reload as fast as most weapons. This makes them sitting ducks for sneak attacks and grenade damage.
Split-Screen Multiplayer:
Q: Can multiple players play online on the same system?
A: Yes, up to four players can join an online multiplayer match on the same system, three of these players can join or leave any time without affecting the main player.
Q: Can all four players use Bluetooth headsets, or is it just the first player?
A: As of this time, Incognito hasn't commented either way, but some beta testers have stated that only one headset at a time will be allowed.
Q: Can I play offline with my friends?
A: Yes, you can play offline with up to 3 other players.
Q: Can split-screen guests use their own PSN accounts?
A: No, only one player may use their account, all split-screen guests will have a number assigned to them, in front of the main player's tag [ex: one of my guests would be called (1)Xanog]
Q: Can I have split-screen in ranked matches?
A: No, this option was removed since some players were abusing it to locate other players without consequence to their rank. This upsets the balance, and thus, is unavailable in ranked matches.
Community/Friends:
Q: Does Warhawk use the XMB friends list?
A: Yes, all people on your XMB friends list will show up on your "Warhawk Buddy Page". This page will also show what match they are in, and can take you to their stats page.

A: Yes, you can use the Quick Join option to join any game that your friends are in, as long as the player cap hasn't been reached.

Q: How about "parties" like in Resistance?
A: No, there is no party system.
Headset/Communication:
The Jabra BT125 Headset (shown above) will be included in the Blu-Ray version of Warhawk. It looks just like the image above (no custom logos or paint jobs, so you can use it on other devices without people asking you what brand Warhawk is).
It has an average talk time of 8 hours, and a standby time of about one week.
This is one of the more simplistic Bluetooth headsets, and thus, is extremely easy to use. It can be worn on either ear, and is pretty durable overall.
Q: Is the Jabra BT125 the only headset that works with Warhawk?
A: No, any headset that works with the PS3 can be used, you can even use your Socom USB mic, if you still have it.
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.
Q: Can I mute anyone if I don't like them?
A: Yes, you can mute everyone except for the people sitting next to you in your gaming area.
Q: Can I make it so that I can only communicate with certain people?
A: Yes, using a "patch" system, you can adjust options for every player in the match. You can make it so that you only hear and speak to clan members, or only to squad leaders, or even just people on your friends list.
Q: Can more than one mic be used (for split-screen play)?
A: No, only one mic can be connected to the PS3 at a time, the same applies to Warhawk.
Q: Can keyboards be used for text chat?
A: Yes, you can use keyboards for text chat (no need to use the Qwerty XMB one).
Official and Custom Servers:
Q: Does Sony have its own official servers for Warhawk?
A: Yes, Sony hosts distinctly marked "official" servers for the game, but users can also host their own.
Q: Can anyone host a server?
A: Yes, anyone with a PS3, a broadband internet connection, and Warhawk can host a server.
Q: What makes my server "custom"?
A: Well, you can name your server, and put a custom "Welcome Message" in it. You can also mess around with the lobby color scheme and adjust certain game options.
Q: Can I play while hosting a server?
A: Yes, these are called "player servers" and can support a maximum of 24 players and 4 split-screen players.
Q: What if my connection isn't the greatest, can I still host a server?
A: You can still host a server, but the player cap will be lowered so as to bring down lag.
Q: Are the servers for Warhawk "worldwide"?
A: Yes, all players from all regions can play in any server.
Q: Can I filter out certain servers?
