GGL announces official Warhawk tournament

by Jem Alexander { May 19th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Online tournament organizer GGL has partnered with Sony to deliver an official Warhawk tournament with some exciting prizes. Unfortunately, the prizes are only available to US citizens, but "Warhawk players from anywhere in the world are welcome to join open competition ladders on GGL's Warhawk Game Group" There's a practice ladder running right now, which will be reset when the official ladder opens on May 27th. This will give those of you who are a bit rusty the chance to shake off the cobwebs and get back to grips with the game.

The tournament is team based and is therefore probably better to play with people who you work well with. However, if you don't have any Warhawk playing friends, or need to bolster your team numbers a bit, you can find new team mates in GGL's "Find/Form a Squad" forum.

On the 29th of June the top 32 teams in the ladder will go on to the Elimination Bracket, where they will whittled down to a single winning team. That team will take home Limited Edition Warhawk statues (worth about $50) as well as an exclusive in-game item -- the Champion's Blade. This "replaces the knife weapon in game and looks completely different so that everyone you encounter will know you won the tournament."

Check out the website for more details and to sign up. Good luck!

My clan's strongest mode is zones, the mode of the tournament, so I anticipate us being in the finals with BSK, also a zones clan.

There should instead, be a COD4 Tourny and have some kind of new gun.

Now that will be a sight.
And now that will be much better.

That's really neat, a new knife that everyone will see... I would love to play against someone with that shanker. any screen shots of it?

BTW does anyone know a good server that many people use their mics in (not annoyingly) I would like to play a more coordinated game, but there are usually only 2-3 people in the server with mics.

Saldy, Warhawk atm is dead to me. After attempting to get into the new Zone modes, I cannot. It hurts when only half the map is available. Gone is the strategy, the fun. It is now a skirmish that lasts the full timer since the score limit is an absurd 7500 points for only 3 zones.

I'm not sure why the changes were made -nor are any other players using mics, it's as if they knew GTA4 multiplayer was coming out and they had to mix it up. In a perfect world I'd get a refund for the 2nd map pack I bought. I rarely get to play the map, and when I do it's such a small area it runs into the same issues mentioned above.

So long Warhawk. Perhaps one day I'll tire of COD4, GTA4, and MGO and wish to find a zone game yet again.
