Operation Broken Mirror detailed and vaguely dated
The next Warhawk expansion, Operation Broken Mirror, will be heading for the European PSN Store sometime in April. The exact date has yet to be confirmed, but the expansion will definitely come after the v1.3 patch which is due in "early April." Operation Broken Mirror will add a new level, the Vaporfield Glacier, as well as the Armored Personnel Carrier.
The APC will come in two different forms and will look different depending on if you're playing as a Eucadian or a Chernovan. Six players will be able to fire out of the APC during transport and a "speed boost" feature will allow it to better infiltrate enemy territories. Once there the vehicle acts as a spawn point for the team. As if that wasn't enough, the APC can generate a force field to protect ground troops who are near it.
Operation Broken Mirror will be priced at £3.99 in the UK, with no word yet on a price in Euros or dollars. We've got a ridiculous amount of screenshots of the new level and vehicle in action so, if you're interested, be sure to check out the gallery below. Don't forget to click "Hi Res" in the top right hand corner for full resolution images.

*Higher Res, not 'full resolution'.
I for one dont feel like I ever got my money's worth for buying Omega Dawn. I doubt I'll buy another booster.
I look forward to the free patch though.

Only £4? That's awesome - Omega Dawn cost £8, IIRC.

And arriving in US PSN store sometime in April as well. Djobe said it was "basically done," just running some final tests.
Finally some screenshots of Vaporfield Glacier. Looks like it really focus's on ground fighting - not to many places to hide if your a Warhawk - which I guess is pretty cool. Can't wait to play this ginormous map
YES 1.3 4/02/08

I thought I read that patch 1.3 was being released on 3/27? Either way, I'll be getting both. Omega Dawn was worth every penny.

Great! Thanks!! Like I haven't spent most of my free time playing Warhawk already, now you (Ingognito) have to make it even worst!! This game is an addiction! :D

NaCHOburger @ Mar 25th 2008 3:59PM
I can't wait for the new additions, overall I think it going to change the way the game (statregy) will be played.
Warhawk continues to live!

to HELL with warhawk. i live in europe and imported one Blu-ray version from the US and guess what? after purchasing my omega dawn pack from the EU PSN, it wont install properly, it says it's installed but it's not working, tried a zillion times. apparently it's a common problem amongst warhawk importers. i doubt broken mirrors will be any different. what a waste of 7euros. I'm so disappointed at incognito and psn. they've lost my respect. incognito's website is out of date and i doubt the official contact email they posted is still working since they haven't replied me and the stupid customer helpline in psn thinks i'm too dumb to know how to install it properly. PS3 games are worldwide compatible huh? no region lock huh? evidently not! and i advise u ps3 fanboys to STOP quoting "u can import the games if it's not in region coz it's wordwide compatible" every freaking you guys post a release date for a game. it's deceiving!

I don't think its a good idea to import games that are mostly online or feature DLC, because you're likely to run into problems because of the separated internet regions (USA, Europe, Japan).
waliwali @ Mar 26th 2008 3:28AM
aren't you stating the obvious now? you're just rephrasing my points. the thing is, it was never a raised issue. i can play warhawk just fine. the stupid thing is the DLC limitations. which may go to a LOT of games, considering DLC is becoming more n more popular these days. and a LOT of games these days have multiplayer functionality. I mean, elaborate this further, even if you could be playing an rpg of future title, and when a DLC comes out, u can't install them.
The stupid thing is i'm paying the more expensaive EU version of omega dawn, not the cheaper US omega dawn. had i known this, i would've open up a US account.
ChodalBerryWagon @ Mar 26th 2008 4:04AM
Calm down, its not that much - its pretty much just the cost of a meal at mcdonalds.
Why are you blaming Incognito and the PSN for your problem? You're the one who imported it. They didn't tell you to. They don't support it.
And I was stating the obvious because you should have expected at least SOME problems if you're gonna import something.
smkalot @ Mar 26th 2008 6:30AM
yea dipshit, jus open a US account n stop being such a lil bitch
