For everybody who has asked for spoilers about this:
How to get past the berserker in Warhead:



Well, the wrong thing to do is try to suicide your ship into it,
a la Captain Kirk in "The Doomsday Machine".  Instead, ever consider
WHY they just gave you proximity mines? =)

You need to hit it with 4 proximity mines.  That's not the easiest thing
to do, since they need to be really close to the berserker to go off.  Try
launching them when you are around 600m or so away from it.

After that, it's not interested in the Earth.  It's interested in YOU.
I'm sure that you can think of SOMEPLACE that you can lure the thing
to..... =)


Actually, I was REALLY disappointed with how the game turns out.  With
the exception of this berserker, the game gets monotonous (this was the
only real plot twist to it).  Incredible graphics, though (those navigation
tacticals are RAD).

Hope this helps!
