In its current form, Warhawk supports up to 32 players through LAN or Internet with full voice chat and, of course, clans. On-demand split-screen allows players to join or leave a session by simply hitting start on a controller, the game resizing the screen accordingly. At present, up to four can play per PlayStation 3 console, though this number may lessen should any performance issues surface during development.
Along with 25 map configurations of varying size on five huge worlds, Warhawk's multiple modes provide diverse types of game play. Air-based Warhawk on Warhawk deathmatches put players flight skills and reflexes to the test, whereas the more strategic modes like Capture the Flag require careful teamwork in the air, in the vehicles and on foot.
