Update 2: Jobe has confirmed that Operation: Omega Dawn will in fact be available from the in-game Warhawk store today, not tomorrow as he previously indicated.

Update: Shacker razlebol tells Shacknews that both the expansion and patch were temporarily available in-game, though the booster pack has since been removed.

Original Story: The first expansion for Incognito's multiplayer-only PlayStation 3 battlefield Warhawk will be available tomorrow, December 20, through the online PlayStation Store.

Titled Operation: Omega Dawn, the $7.99 add-on brings a new multiplayer map and a new dropship aircraft that can transport seven soldiers and a ground vehicle across the map.

Director Dylan Jobe, who announced the date on the official PlayStation blog, also noted that the promised 1.2 patch for the game, which contains several tweaks and new map layouts, would arrive today.

New patch is great, new content is great. The new Drop ships add a whole new element to the game. Basically it has changed the metagame and made it completely different in a really good way. The new map is pretty fun as well, although I only played it on two configurations So i havent seen all of it yet.

New map is pretty nice. Servers are full so it's hard to find a game and things are still disorganized with the dropship but I can see it being used in some pretty epic moments. Once cool thing is you can lift a vehicle with the flag carrier in it, but you can't enter the ship witht he flag. It's got a lot of fire power but it's speed makes it more of a support and defensive vehicle. Good stuff. Now I just need to find a spot on a server.

gonna be awesome getting in that big slow moving ship with 6 other people. Flying 5 feet. Then a turret missle locking on and hitting you....killing you instantly. Then the 6 people bitching at how you suck. I can already see it.

You guys know how this will work, as far as which servers will or will not have the new content? I'm buying it, so I want to make sure I can play the new stuff.

On the other hand, it kinda sucks that players without it could just get knocked off the server when the map changes.

I got to play this with a buddy last night, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting another generic turd of a shooter, but the game was so fun it reminded me of the glory days of BF1942. Big, open levels with arcade action. Not too fast, not too slow.

And all this time, I thought PS3 was the suck--it looks like there actually are some good games for it!
