Warhawk

In Warhawk, you embark in an online world of chaos and explosions all around. Take to the skies, shoot down an enemy fighter or terrorize the troopers, or stay on the ground and wreak havoc in a tank, a jeep, or the vast selection of troop weapons. You can select between 6 different game mode, from the classical deathmatch to the more epic Hero mode. Whatever your flavor is, Warhawk got several choices.

The HAH Way

HAH have several ways they like to play Warhawk, the most notorious is the Gauntlet run. This is basically Capture the flag when your entire team try to stop you. The winner is usually judged by the one with the most negative points. We are also known to play some minigames, one of them is the ever epic troops versus tanks. This is basically two tanks in the center of Badlands, were the rest are troops trying to take out the two tanks with wrenches.

And of course there are the regular battles, were we either host our own games or join in on official servers and generally tear up the place with dirty jokes and general mayhem.

Game modes

Zones

Zones is probably one of the most intense game modes in Warhawk. It require strategy, skill and solid teamwork to win.

Capture The Flag

Capture The Flag is the ever classic game mode in online shooters. Each team have it's own flag, the other team needs to grab the other teams flag, while protecting their own flag.

Collection

Collection can best be described as a combination of zones and capture the flag. There are tokens spread around the map, your objective is to grab as many as possible, and bring them back your home base. The more tokens you score at a time, the more points you and your team is awarded for that capture

Hero

Hero is a pimped out version of team death match. Each team have a hero, the objective is to kill the opposing hero. Your team gets points when the opposing hero is killed (suicide also give points to the other team), and when the hero get a kill.
