The second Warhawk game was a Continuity Reboot of the series on the PlayStation 3, also titled simply Warhawk (1995 video game). The game is reimagined as a Third-Person Shooter with heavy use of vehicles. Single player gameplay was abandoned entirely in favor of fine-tuning online multiplayer for up to 32 players. Like Team Fortress 2, the game eschews realism in favor of Rule of Fun and Rule of Cool. Three expansion packs are available: Operation Broken Mirror, Operation Omega Dawn and Operation Fallen Star Warhawk is recieving a Spiritual Successor in Starhawk (2012 video game), which features robots that transform into jets and a strategic system that can be described as 'trigger-happy construction', where the player can call down vehicle spawn points, bunkers, turrets, etc to drop down like lightning on the location of your choosing.
