Here it is in action: Cloaking Gameplay

Sadly no, Po, no real exact info on the Chat Settings. Most of the info in that link was from the Beta, but something like that you would think they would leave it intact or at the least not fook with it too much. You are the clan leader, you figure it out! =P

Ok, this is from an older Q&A with Dylan Jobe (Game Director):

Does Warhawk support VoIP channels?
Not exactly. I will say the ‘subscription’ method in Resistance is pretty damn slick, though. What you do get is a per player control as to whether or not the voice is transmitted from that player – think of it as a kind of patch board. If you are the leader of a squad with Bob, Jimmy and Bruce, then you can just patch them in and turn everyone else off. Additionally, let’s say that your buddy Evan is the leader of another squad and you want to be able to talk to him but not the troops in his squad. Then simply patch him in and you’re all set. Hopefully that answers your question “9158.”

I think this is what was being referred to in my post above. Not a Patch Option per se, but you yourself patch in who you would like to hear. Very DIY, not much automated chat control in a sense. Wonder if you have to repatch after every game... or at least after you jump to a new server? I would think so.

Pretty sure we could use BG vent to if you guys wanted to, Sono said before they had enough space when I asked about Ac4

[Exoduso]

I don't get the squad thing... you have several squads in each team? Or are the teams the squads?

[Doombear]

I am gonna go ahead and say that Dylan Jobe was on a small amount of crack. I haven't heard anything about ACTUAL Squads that can be set, so I am assuming that he is just implying that the creator has created a "squad" on their own.

"Izembo, you and Exo take the Jeep. If you find Grae in a tree anywhere, grab him too and head for the flag."

So, Mr. Po Leader would patch in Izembo, the newly appointed "Squad Leader" and "Grae finder." See what i mean? But really, with a Clan, just patch the whole damn thing in and be done with it.

[Exoduso]

There didn't seem to be any option of patching through in the middle of the game, at least not for me but Po was the one who created the game so maybe his options were different.

As for the flag game, I haven't played it yet, but what do you basically do?

[Doombear]

Ever play Capture the Flag back in the olden times, the yesteryears, hear the ol Grandpappy talking bout it?

Essentially, there is a Red Flag and a Blue Flag. Red team has to get the Blue Flag (from the... Blue Base) and get it back to the Red Base. Usually you take the enemy flag back to your own flag to get a Capture/Points. At the same time you are trying to prevent the other team from taking yours. Usually a set amount of captures = win. So depending on the organization of your team and the other team, CTF games can take a good long time.

In Warhawk, one problem in the beta was Teamkills aplenty in CTF games. Since you get 30 points from turning in a flag, and only lose 2 for killing a teammate, you would see a lot of people killing the flag holder on your team and turning it in themselves for points. I really hope that there is an option to turn off Friendly Fire when creating servers. If not, at least having clanmates playing with ya most times will limit how much this happens.

(Lets all teamkill Po the first night, just... for like an hour)

[Exoduso]

lol, Po will get so pissed if anyone kills his own teammate/s on purpose he'd probably kick them from the clan.

But in the trailers i've seen, it looks like you need a couple of people to be in that circle around the flag for a few minutes, and then it turns it into that team's color or some shit... didn't really get what that was all about.

[Kazen]

Kamikaze your own teammates with a Warhawk lol.

[Exoduso]

The game really needs friendly fire..

[Po]

Exo that was zones that you saw. Kinda like Annex mode in Gears. You have to hold a zone to get points, etc.

CTF is different. You pick up the flag and take it to your base, I can't believe you never played that as a kid.

[Exoduso]

Okay then that's what I was referring to, not the capture the flag.. (and I knew it was odd because they never actually took the flag down lol..)

[Doombear]

Yeah, Zones sounds fun. A lot of it is strategic. In one developer interview i read, the Red Team had many more zones captured, but the Blue Team had many more PEOPLE at their zones. The amount of people standing at the Zone will increase its power. Stradegy!

[izembo]

just got home from work to find out we indeed wont get it until tomorrow, so i guess ill be on tomorrow night as well, thankfully i have thursday off so itll be a fun day for me :D

[Po]

Woo! Just had my best round ever. Team Deathmatch, 6 kills, 3 deaths. At one point 5 of those kills were in a row with this ground turret which shoots missiles. I just kept locking onto planes and blasting them out of the sky! It was so awesome :D

[Exoduso]

lol nice..

[Kazen]

Is it tomorrow yet?

[izembo]

i know right =(

[Doombear]

=( Wish i was off tomorrow, most EB/GStops will have preorders in before Noon. Bah! Oh well, i will just charge up my Jabra here at work, then take off early or somethin =P

Have fun out there gents.

See ya soon, here is a nice shiny IGN Review for your eyeballs.

[izembo]

yea, we get ours around 10-10:30 most times but i gotta wait till someone comes in at 1 to buy it and then i gotta work till 5 anyways :/

[Doombear]

Pssh, 5 your time is 2 my time -.-; But i will be in game later tomorrow night to noob it up with whomever is still awake. Or hell, if no one, i will just create my own server and fly around aimlessly trying to run into things.
