hey guys
after getting one of my main games on the ps3 i decided to go with another fps. i am a big fps fan and cannot decide between the two.
First of all i thought COD4 was the way to go but after looking around warhawk looked pretty good. i like a good supported online game, one that offers more and more action that will keep me coming back for more

Ummm wel Warhawk isn't exactly FPS its TPS (Third Person Shooter). Well you have to be pretty good at shooting games otherwise Warhawk is waaaaayy to hard. (Ask GTAdude). COD4 is more team based and doesn't focus on online as much. I reckon Warhawk is good with the vehicles. Very hard question there richie. I would say COD4 if you want to play online with MyPS3 memebers.

well warhawk is actually a 3rd person shooter, so I don’t know if that would affect your decision. Also Warhawk is only multiplayer, but it is really fun multiplayer.

Can’t really comment on COD4 as I haven’t played it.

I reckon it would come down to flying planes (aka warhawks). Coz I must admit the Warhawks are really cool to fly!
And as Luke4123 and longarms mentioned, it's a 3rd person shooter.

If you want a real FPS game ... COD4

Btw, I somehow find online COD4 more rewarding. There are ranks, challenges to unlock stuff ... very cool idea
In fact, there's a weapon that I want in online games ... but I can't seem to get ...
It's that submachine gun (correct term?) that you get when playing as the US Marines in single-player ...

I played and at one stage owned both.
Warhawk is way too hard - I, unfortunately never gave it a full chance - tarded it in after a week of constantly crashing the flying vehicles. I also found it to be pretty much, spawn, run, respawn without too much unity or team work. Maybe that was just my bad luck that I joined games which had the mindset of every man for himself even though they were meant to be team objective games.
Graphics wise too its rubbish compared to CoD4.

If you like a FPS and not a TPS, and graphics that are truly next gen then its a no brainer CoD4 all the way.

CoD4 sucks you in with the upgrades, classes, and unlockable weapons as well as it seems to have more truly team based feel to it. Some of the guys from myps3.com.au are spending a heck of a lot of time on it and I love playing with them (bill and sturm are the ones I bump into the most - both r guns!!!!)

My vote would go to CoD4 for above reasons.

Cheers,

well here is what i think, i own both games and i can say that warhawk isnt all fun and games. it can get very annoying on the lobby saying that the server is full when there is only 6/20 people playing on that server. but i think that was fixed. i like warhawk because i play split screen online which is fun. but you have to have a 24/7 internet connection for warhawk.

Call of duty 4 on the other hand, well i cant say much, but its the best game out at the moment, the storyline is intense, although short. the multiplayer is great.

ill say Call Of Duty 4 if your planning on playing solo

Id get Warhawk, COD4 is awesome... but its not going to be a long lived game the way things are going. Its been out a while and the player base has been halved by a bloody patch that has been half assed released. The game is fantastic, solo is short but multiplayer is fun IF YOU CAN GET ON A GOOD SERVER. Untill i setup OzPS3Party to organise matches in private i could easly spend an hour tryin to find a game with mates before getting the shizzies on and giving up on COD4 for the night. Since then ive been running 18 player games monday & sunday nights which have been a huge success, the games are intense and well played with no garbage or foul language. So if you go the COD4 option come join the other 100+ aussies on my site and play some matches with us, you'll have a blast. Granted tho we do play Private games so you dont get experience.

Dont get me wrong COD4 is great, but you need to get your self a bunch of mates you can go into private with if you want to really get the most out of it. Playing ranked is painfull at best, with the latest patch forcing us to play US servers UNLESS your lucky enough to strike an Aussie server. Even then you wont know till you've spent an hour searching, joining disconnecting... its a painfull process. But as i said, once you get on that one low ping server and your blitzing just hope the host doesnt quit or you will be back to square one.

The other thing is your going to have to deal with ranked games and bad servers till you hit at least level 15-20 so that you have the unlocks you need for private games.

Warhawk on the other hand has amazing graphics, great game play, 4 player on one screen online... top notch game.

Yes warhawk is a 3rd person shooter.. but its pretty easy online. Ive played several rounds lately and its been bliss compared to the effort you have to go to in COD4 to get on a good server unless you play private.

WarHawk has vehicles and i find COD4 is more a respawn nightmare with the run & gun play type. But it has ranks & unlocks which can keep alot of players easly amuzed. WarHawk shines with its online play being very smooth, and the latest expansion pack is awesome with drop ships

Team play? Well both games are team based. But for those stating that WarHawk has little to no team play are obviously playing randoms who dont give a hoot. Ive run 2 warhawk games in the last 2 weeks both teams worked well against each other.

Another good thing is price point, WarHawk = $40 Vs. COD4 = $100. WarHawk gets patched quickly, and already has an expansion pack "Opperation Omega Dawn" which was $10 and worth it.

Id almost suggest even considering GRAW2 as a potential if you like FPS (GRAW2 can be played in FPS mode when online or TPS mode).

I picked up Warhawk the other day. And I'm glad I did, its awesome.

It's great how you can play the game however you want. ie you're not limited to being on foot, on in a vehicles, or in an aircraft.

Plus it comes with a BlueTooth headset <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jabra.com/sites/Jabra/NA-US/campaigns/warhawk/Pages/Welcome.aspx)">www.jabra.com/</a> which is great for this and other online games too.

If you see it, grab a copy. You'll probly enjoy it as much as you did Call Of Duty 4.
