Warhawk Expansion Next Month

The PS3’s only multiplayer juggernaut will be getting a downloadable pack sometime next month. Warhawk owners will be able to download Operation: Omega Dawn, an expansion that offers a completely new world to battle in, including 5 new map layouts featuring advanced building complexes and huge industrial towers; a KT-424 combat dropship transport vehicle that carries six soldiers and 1 ground vehicle; and a new weapon called the MBEC-3 Heavy Support Cannon.

But that’s not all; no new battlefield would be complete without a new piece of kit, and Operation: Omega Dawn comes complete with a serious toy which will enhance the already intense Warhawk experience: the KT-424 Combat Dropship. You’ll activate the vehicle once you gain control of one of the many weapons factories on the world; once you have it, you’re in charge of an advanced aircraft capable of carrying seven soldiers and a ground vehicle at once. The KT-424 Combat Dropship transports 1 pilot, 6 soldiers and 1 ground vehicle; and features a deadly new weapon - the MBEC-3 Heavy Support Cannon. You’ll have loads of opportunity to take full advantage of the new KT-424 Combat Dropship because the new world is full of vertical gameplay which integrates ship decks, raised platforms, and factory rooftops accessible only by airborne deployment.

The new maps will support all multiplayer modes. Also, the 5 large layouts from the original battlefields have been modified to include the new KT-424 Combat dropship. No pricing details were given, though one can only hope it is free.
