Recent posts at the official PlayStation blog at Sony's North American site have revealed updates on the way for Warhawk.

The first patch, dubbed v1.1, will fix issues with connectivity and stats. The patch will include fixes on both the server side (Sony's end) and the client side (your PS3). here is the list of fixes coming with 1.1:

Server-side updates
* Stat database stability improvements
* Improved server stability
* Max Clan limit changed from 32 to 64
* Viral Rank-up bug fixed and correct for players that were accidentally ranked up.
* “Time-in-Vehicle” Stats fixed so certain awards can now be granted properly.

Client-side updates for Patch v1.1
* Stat connection, fetch/post fixes
* Significantly improved client connection stability
* Quad “????” Ping display bug fixed.
* Added support for Player-Ranked Servers.
* Game synchronization fixes due to fluctuating network conditions (packet-drop).
* Crash fixes for end of game and split screen.

Along with this was the announcement of the formation of the Warhawk Arbiters. These are members of the North American and European online server groups who are tasked with making sure stats are legit. They will be overseeing the worldwide leaderboards and community stats as well as sometimes joining games themselves for up-close observation. The Arbiters have final say- judgement for questionable play/ cheating can range from a simple warning to having all stats "cleansed" along with temporary or even permanent bans from the game.

Version 1.2 will address other glitches/ exploits of the game that some have complained about as well as give five new maps to play on. Here is the complete list:

Patch v1.2 includes:
* 5 New layouts.
* Clan game server option.
* Buddy slot reservations.
* Integrated Warhawk Store.
* Updated CTF capture/return behavior.
* Internal stat padder protection.
* Booster Pack status display at join game list.
* DualShock3 integration.
* Separate SIXAXIS motion control on/off per mode (ground, hover, flight).
* Detailed Player Score display at end of game fixed.
* Added new server type filters (player, ranked, dedicated, clan, Official Warhawk, etc).
* Added new server full/open filter.
* Fall damage exploit fixed.
* Dismount into walls exploit fixed.
* Invisible Tank, Turret & Warhawk exploit fixed.
* Auto-kick of idle players.
* Add to Favorites button added to end game screen.
* Increased VOIP volume when not using headset.

Version 1.1 is expected to be released worldwide by the end of October (not long to wait). tests are ongoing for v1.2 and is currently scheduled for a mid-December release.
