The day is finally coming. This may be impossible for me to Platinum in 30 days since I need about 10 trophies for the Platinum (including Bandwidth Donor). I will do my best. 

 

If you're thinking of doing this and you haven't started....bad idea. 

 

EDIT: Date extended to January 31, 2019. Still a bad idea to start unless you really hustle with it. 

 

2ND EDIT: Based on the amount of hacking activity for people's stats with this game, it is recommended to not start doing the online for this game. Hopefully, something will change between now and then.

Damn (the info is true, check the game on ps store and you'll find this in the description)... really, this is the only MP i've ever enjoyed a lot, even Black Ops 1 tired me after some years but not warhawk, usually when i was tired of getting trophies for a day i used to jump on this game and have fun despite building a lot of haters for which reason i used alt accs. Some of my friends told me to move on Destiny or Fortnite as an alternative, but Warhawk will never be possible to replace for me. Starhawk was supposed to replace it but it was a failure for Warhawk fans.

 

And so goodbye, almost 10 years of fun which now seem to be gone quickly,

goodbye, dear companion of nights when i couldn't fall in sleep,

goodbye, unforgottable passion for the warhawk community,

goodbye, funny moments from high rank players over 30 years old that when owned started to open the mic and scream to everyone

 

 

I also hoped for a Warhawk 2 but that has never been realised, now i have no real replacement for this game as i like simple mechanic games, which recent MPs haven't anymore.

 

 

With a strong dedicated boost this game is doable in 100 hours minimum mandatory (50 hours required in an aircraft, 25 inside a jeep/tank and 25 as soldier), is still possible to plat this in time if you don't wait the last 4 days.

Source? There’s nothing in the PS Store or the status page...

I found the description in the US store, but is not there for ITA store.

Anyway this vid proofs the end of the game (min 0:20)

The server farm is just a bunch of ps3s, i assume theyre just gonna retire those systems so its a 50/50 chance the game will always be achieveable(albiet with a higher chance of disconnections) but theres always the chance one of those ps3s has a custom firmware(not that kind of cfw youre thinking of, more of like a devkit firmware) that is the main system. Hopefully the worst case scenario is those ps3s end up in a dumpster and warhawk fans can still foot the server space with thier own ps3s.

Oh it’s in the bundle one, the standard version doesn’t have this message yet.

 

I didn’t had any major problems when I was boosting this, thanks to @VirtualNight tips. Anyone going for this should start NOW.

So let me get this straight: after oct. 25th will i be able to win anything (or even plat) this game? I literally got a copy of the game two days ago after convincing myself these past couple years, after i saw that this was one of those games that doesnt have its own servers or whatever.

 

Not sure. I don't think so. Based on the store description, it sounds like you won't be able to access the servers that stores the profile and game modes. Has anyone been able to earn XP/medals/badges in LAN mode?

Is impossible with LAN, is where you do not use your online id either, no stats available, and the option to set the room "ranked" (for ranks, medals and badges) is not available.

Wtf is it with all these servers closing in October? I mean I get it, they are old games. But why October?

Yh i'm curious as well, twisted Metal will close on the same day, i wonder if there is a list somewhere on internet listing mutiple servers closure for this year, i also checked some games and in good part i found a thread warning about servers shutdown, seems like a lot of games are involved in the following 12 months.

Guys, hold on a second... will the game be playable locally in splitscreen once the servers have shut down?

 

I mean, i tried starting a game with the router turned off... and Local doesn't work. But with it turned on, it works, and i just created a blank profile without logging in any PSN account. I could even start splitscreen, if you're alone you can still explore the maps. So it only requires a connection to a router to play it? Which means it only needs the PS3 online to work properly? Or will it become like Twisted Metal Black Online on the PS2 (which was unplayable once it was shut down, but was compatible with XLink Kai anyway once the servers were shut down, you could still play online or with bots, which aren't in Warhawk, and then became completely unplayable once they completely shut down the PS2 online). Choosing "Online" obviously require a login to a PSN account, same for Training, but for the latter, i think the login is asked but you can skip it.

 

I'm just asking about it being still available "for fun" without caring about trophies, unlockable stuff from online (i heard they're just paints and clothes) or whatever.

So we may have a MAG/SOCOM Confrontation situation after October 25.

I was just asking, the announcement doesn't say it'll become completely unplayable, it says it'll still work with LAN. But i wonder if LAN in this case really requires other consoles or it still be playable in splitscreen, since it's also a local mode. Playing locally doesn't require a PSN login, but it still requires a connection to something.
