Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X

Whats with all the strange writing?

I dunno after playing the demo i would imagine hawkx would become boring within the first few hours of playing the full game.
 
Tinman you should really check your characters when posting, copying and pasting not always the best thing to do
 
I was quite keen to get this game, but it's basically an arcade shooter where you can launch 100 missles, 200 bombs - it's not something a sim fan will want to get.

I enjoyed it for 10 minutes, then I got bored and will probably uninstall it tonight.
 
Boring, good thing I did not spend any cash on it.
 
The arcade-like design turns me off of HAWX, and just when I am in the market for a decent fighter sim.... oh well.

This is the one market that needs someones attention, someone like JANE or what not... I'm also waiting for a decent fighter sim - Falcon 4.0 was the last awesome one, but I mean, I want something like that, just not as hectic - you basically had to be a pilot to play that game... :(

remember the days of X-wing and Wind Commander?? :eek:

Gees I still have my CH Flightstick Pro with a game port plug on the end... that thing is about 15 years old and still going strong, best joystick ever!

oh I wish there was a decent flying game, where I can shoot down stuff and not have to be a pilot.... but I like a BIT of technical stuff, arcade flying is kok! :D
 
I quite like it. If there was a mod to change the models to vipers from BSG I would be in flying heaven :P

I downloaded the demo from XBL and it's quite enjoyable. The graphics are drop-dead gorgeous, even for such an old game. At a brief glance, you can be forgiven for mistaking some of the opening scenes (which are rendered in-engine) for actual FMV footage!

As for length of the game, I would guess it's pretty long. The demo mission took me a solid hour and 15 minutes to complete. Given the fact that there are (afaik) 11 missions in the single-player campaign and that a missions would take you on average 1 hour to complete, you can safely assume that the single-player portion of the game would take at least 11 hours to complete.

Actually Solidus, I do not "Copy and paste" these headlines, they come through using an automatic RSS feed.

This is a new bug, and we will look into it.
 
It's arcady, i could fly straight down, make a u-turn and straight up without any stalling issues. I came from Blazing Angels II, which is WW-II based flight sim and tbh HAWX came off kinda "meh" . I still believe if you're not going to be technical in a high-tech fighter JET with massive range, auto-targeting, rockets that lock on targets and chase them down without your further input, then why bother? Modern Flight sims MUST be technical, WW2/WW1 flight sims can be lesser technical as it's far more reliant on your manual input and lining up your machine guns perfectly...

It's like making a MechWarrior and it plays like Unreal Tournament.....

So it's not that bad, it's solid entertainment [nothing ground breaking either] , but it's not worth more than R400 imho. Rent it if you can, i did ;).

PS: Speaking of MechWarrior ...it's coming ;)
