JUst downloaded it from the PS3 store and must say it's one of the most unbeginner friendly games I've played. Just spent 2 hours playing it and not 1 kill, I haven't got a clue whats going on?

Can anyone give me any pointers to get started?
 
Stay on the ground and try to capture the flags.
Pick up any weapon you have lying around as the pistol is woeful. Use the grenades and rocket launcher as they are really powerful.
 
Have a little play on the LAN mode just to get used to controls, make sure you have pro flight turned off at first in the warhawks. Pick a Sony blue server when playing online, at first pick a level 2 server as these are limited to 1st lieutenant, may still get killed quite a bit. You will find in the Warhawk Deathmatch you will die quite a bit at first most people do anyway. One thing to try is most Sunday evenings at about 8 a few of us on here have an OCuk server running with just us lot on its great fun with people you know. Make sure you have a headset a USB one is best it makes team games so much easier.
 
Agreed, good advice from msmalls74. Warhawk is a cracking game, just a shame I can't pull myself away from PGR4 to play it. Isn't life difficult :D
 
I played alone on a LAN first to get used to the controls, that way you can concentrate on other things when playing.

I have played for a few eeks and still get killed more often than I make kills but that is mainly because I suck at aiming with the controller.

The machinegun is almost auto aiming, you just have to aim near the enemy and it will keep locked on that person as long as you keep firing.

Get in a plane on a dogfight (planes only mode) server ane just keep playing until you get a kill. Turn of SIXAXIS controls for flight.

The ground based stuff (capture the flag etc plays just like most fps (but in third person), it is only the flight mode that has the learning curve imo.

Find a rocket launcher and target planes while keeping R1 pressed to lock on (or R2 can't remember)

Also try the fixed rocket launchers or guns for a change, you can also ride with someone else on a jeep or tank

If you have a headset you are welcome to join us on Sunday. I may be on later on this evening if you want a mess around and some tips, but you will need a headset.

not off the top of my head. what model etc is it? Has it successfully paired using the wizard? If so can you then go to "Accessory Settings" and test it in there?

This game is driving me nuts! I can't kill anything! As soon as I get in a Hawk I seen to get raped by missiles that I can't avoid! I've spent minutes drilling machines guns from the hawks into infantry and they dont die!

WTF is going oN!?q?!?!?!

I will show you some tricks later on if you want, well easy to dodge missiles. As yet, I haven't met anyone on OcUK that is better than me in the Warhawk sections. (Having said that I love this game and have put in more hours than most).

rp2000 warhawk tactics, rush to mines lay em every where lol. Must say you def the best in the warhawk on here, i just prefer the ground combat (im evil with land mines though).
 
Yeah I sometimes think that if Warhawk had no Air Vehicles, i'd enjoy it a whole lot more than I currently do.

It is a great game, but I suck badly at it :p

If it had no "air vehicles" it would be misleading to title the game "Warhawk" ;)
