Firstly, custom soundtracks! Yes, with the new update you will be able to access your music via the XMB.

Warhawk will be getting trophy support, with 56 included in the 1.5 update. These also include trophies for the booster packs, some of the trophies are hidden and some are retroactive based on your server-side stats.

Following the European Warhawk Design competition all the 20 winning Warhawk paint designs will be included as well as the 50 winning insignia designs (more on this later…tehe)

The new 1.5 Update includes 4 very simple tutorials that can be played off-line. Each one focuses on the core principals of each of the 3 modes of gameplay: Infantry, Ground Vehicles and Aircraft.  These tutorials are an invaluable help to a newbie! After completing each of the 3 core tutorials a trophy is unlocked – a nice incentive for new players and, well…all you avid Warhawk players can think of them as “easy-money”. The forth training tutorial, “Flight Practice” is intended to be replayed over and over again, and help players get familiar with the most rewarding, and most challenging of the 3 gameplay modes: Piloting Aircraft! In this one, you are tasked with destroying as many attack drones as possible in 3 minutes. These simple, hovering turrets fire swarm missiles at you as you practice flying and “scrubbing” missiles. This tutorial is a huge help for new players by giving them a safe, offline way to practice their piloting skills.

Another feature that players, or more specifically, clan-leaders have asked for, is the ability to retract a clan invite that they have sent to a player. For whatever reason, that player maybe never responded to the invite. With the new update clan leaders will be able to retract any invites. This is important to clan leaders because there is a fixed number of clan invites (64) that an admin can have pending at any one time.
 
Also included will be the GGL Ceremonial Blades won in a US based competition.

With the 1.5 update official “rookie” server names in the server list will be green. Players that are eligible to play on rookie servers will find these servers sorted to the top of the list automatically for easy selection. To recap the color coding, Blue servers are official Sony hosted servers, Yellow servers are games launched from HOME, and Green servers are reserved for “rookies”.

They have also fixed the exploit that allowed some players to host unlimited flag capture games, get underneath and into the battlefield. They also fixed the issue with Quick Join that required you to have stats previously posted in order for it to work properly, and a few other items including the 1-minute farming of the Winning Team Ribbon has been fixed. They are going to be rolling out version checking on the EULA and announcements so if you have already seen them and they haven’t changed, Warhawk will automatically bypass those screens for you.

Finally Dylan hinted at the rumored Jet Pack by saying With one of these equipped, a soldier can escape quickly…even bail out if needed! but added that he will neither confirm nor deny the rumor until the Leipzig conference…hmmm
