Warhawk's upcoming booster pack, Operation Broken Mirror, will feature an armored personnel carrier which can serve as a mobile spawning point and weapon producer and also create the "mother of all bubble shields," the game's producer, Dylan Jobe told me in a recent interview.

"You can roll this around a map and it's like this clean blank canvas for combat," he said. "When it's driving around it works as a mobile forward spawn point and when you spawn into it you get additional equipment."

Jobe said the APC will also be able to deploy a piece of equipment that is "like the mother of all bubble shields" and is a couple of hundred feet wide.


Enemies won't be able to shoot into it but allies will be able to shoot out and when a Warhawk gets too close to it it came become unstable and explode.

While the APC won't have a weapon of its own it does have a turbo boost, Jobe said, which can turn the entire vehicle into a giant missile of sorts.

"I've had kills before where I've launched through a Warhawk in an APC," he said.
The booster pack will come with a new battlefield which has ten layouts and it will also include new layouts for existing maps.

While Jobe was hesitant to peg a specific date, because the pack is still being play tested, he did say that he hopes to get it out by the end of next month of the first half of April.

While Operation Broken Mirror won't come with new gameplay modes, Jobe said they are talking about creating some and if they do come they will likely be released as free patches.

"I'd hope we would add new game modes, game modes are things I don't think gamers should have to pay for," he said.

I also asked Jobe about the possibility of a single-player campaign being released for Warhawk, which was once meant to include single-player play, either as an expansion pack or episodic content.

"We made a conscious strategic decision to go multiplayer only, If we were to go single player we would probably address it in another product," he said. "As a player I don't know if I would want to play single player through episodic content. I'd be hesitant."

Jobe added that Incognito isn't just 100 percent Warhawk nowadays either.

"Right now we are working on some exciting things," he said. "But we can't make any announcements."

Yeah I heard about this too. It sounds great but a part of me is thinking that they are starting to add too much. Think of it like a painting. If the artist keeps adding stuff to it instead of leaving it the way it is he will eventually add too much and the painting turns from a beautiful masterpiece into an eye sore. I fear that is what Incog are in danger of doing with Warhawk.

Who knows though. I could and hopefully am wrong.

Well, at least they're starting to focus on protection and defense as opposed to being all about killing everything.

Omega Dawn wasn't all that great for me, and the dropship is more of a gimmick, imo. Luckily I was one of the few who got it for free. I haven't played OD, or used the dropship after I originally tried them. I doubt I'll be getting this Broken Mirror pack, and it seems to me that the APC is just another gimmick.

I dunno I think the APC has more potential then the Dropship. The Dropship is a bitch to control sometimes but I doubt there will be any such problems with the APC. I can see people all getting into an APC and storming the enemy base. That didn't happen often in the Dropship but I think people will feel more comfortable in the APC because they can get out whenever they want. Their lives are not entirely in the drivers hands unlike in the Dropship.

No it's not. Expansions are never free. Only patches are free. This expansion adds a new vehicle and new weapons. No way is it free.

Yup the weapons come with the PATCH.

Yeah I know. I was talking about the APC.

Just wat is the APC?

Allied Personel Carrier. Think of a Van that can carry 6 people.

Lh. Can the passengers do anything?

Yeah they can pop out and shoot.
Hey, this thread doesn't have the video showing the APC yet.
Hold on.
