Ubisoft - Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. (TM) Blasts into Action: Details and Video

I never claimed to be in-game footage mate. Simply a lead in teaser for the game.

What is it with some people, you want new IP, new franchises and series, Development houses spend MILLIONS putting together some for you, and you complain that the release teaser isn't in game. See ing that the game is a while off yet, it would be a bit hard to give you finished and viewable in-game gameplay or footage at this stage.

The game by all accounts is shaping up to be a great tie-in with the EndWar title. You'll be working with the Ghost's Scott Mitchel as they call in air strikes, so you can work with them in securing their movements along the frontline.

We have Endwar coming, a new Rainbow Six series to follow the Vegas one, A new Ghost's game is being worked on, and now we have some high f;lying action to tie it all together. Stop whining and start enjoying the MILLIONS being spent on your account, all you have to do is spend the $us50 ($AU100) to play the games.

Hopefully there won't be a demo of the game, and we simply step straight into the final version. Demos cost way too much time and resources from the main project, and are never really appreciated or received by the gaming public in general.

Check the Endwar In-Game Footage to get an idea of what to expect in both titles http://endwargame.us.ubi.co... (read the in-game-footage note on trailer)

so what's wrong with being passionate about games. These guys make games for us, we play them, we want more innovation, more diverse game playing modes and realism, yet, when a company pours $US20 - 40 million into a game, we (generally speaking) go on the attack, rather than compliment them for what they are doing, we degrade them for what they are not doing, does that make sense ?

I see games as an escape from the pain I suffer from a long standing back problem that has been with me far longer than many of you have been alive (since 1981 I've been taking meds for severe back pain) . . and games are an excellent way of helping deal with, and manage the pain.

Games such as this, and many others that involve some brain work, help produce biochemicals. The normal, run of the mill boring button smashing games do very little other than stimulate my fingers, whereas games such as this, and similar games, make your brain work, it gets your body feeling alive, and even helps you with normal everyday reactions.

So let them pour millions into them, and continue building these great games for US, more power to them.

Yes, they make millions in the process, but if you had a business that poured millions into your products, wouldn't you want millions back in return . . . along with a profit so you can continue doing what you do well . . . you would, wouldn't you ??

That's a great idea! With a slower aircraft like a helicopter there would be less overshooting of the target etc. I'd like to see a game like that. I love those mini-copters you sometimes get to use in some games...a full copter game would be cool.

I've gone through Ace Combat 6 twice now and going through it the third time now on Expert, which is decidedly more difficult too I might add. And once you get your head around it, it's a damn fine game, and doing low flying sure does show up the details they have put into the game on the ground which most areal games do not.

Now if Ubi can not only match that, and better it, it should prove to be a real great game. From what I've read so far, Captain Mitchell is now Major Mitchell, and he'll be issuing you orders from the ground, the entire ground targets are destructible, from bridges, houses, trees etc . .AND . .you have to ensure you keep civilian casualties down or eliminate them (no casualties) as the more you have, the lower your score will be.

Which goes towards purchasing more planes, and arms etc. Plus you can brighten up your wings with some nice decals and colours. Nothing flask like Forza 2, but just enough to make them a little mor e"personal" . .Much like the flyboys do in real life.

LIke what plane ot use?

@ sak500,
If you do a good job of clearing ground forces, and complete say 3 of the other missions on that level, some of the other guys will clear 1 or 2 of the tunnel runs. . .

The trick with the tunnels is, approach them HEAD on, look for them on the radar, find them than approach them head on if possible at low speed. use the yawing rather than the stick, just use that to keep her level and in the middle, use the yawing buttons (shoulder buttons) to move left /right, just keep it above stall speed and shot normal missiles if you wish, or simply use cannon fire as that will clear them out. The targets are to the sides of the tunnel, and a few on the top of a few overhead rails, which you do not want to run into.

If possible, try using the last plane in the hanger which you have to buy which is the prototype with pods not missiles. This first one, as you get 4 eventually, can manovour really well at low speed, plus delivers one hell of a payload when dishing out the pain.

Plus it's the best one for doing the low level valley run, as it can dispense of up to 24 targets at once on the fly-bys as you come across the various targets in the valley without having to circle around and thus set off the alarm and then miss getting the train on time.

It's the very last plan in the list of available panes an dis blue and white in basic colours. Later ones you win or unlock have much more speed and colours as well. and well worth working towards. It's one of the few plans you can do the entire game in to achive the Plan Loyalty Award, as it great on BOTH air, ground and sea attacks.
