Tom Clancy's HAWX Media Has Tom Clancy Jets
by Chris Faylor, Apr 03, 2008 11:03am PDTWith word that the Tom Clancy air combat game is titled Tom Clancy's HAWX, publisher Ubisoft has issued two screenshots, a piece of concept art, and a trailer.
"Soon, flying at Mach 3 becomes a right, not a privilege," the company claimed.
Developed by the Blazing Angels team at Ubisoft Romania, HAWX is set for a fall release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

they don't barrel roll for no reason in combat, especially when fully loaded with external fuel tanks and bombs.
they don't fly 10 feet off the ground in cities.
no SAM is going to be able to lock up a eurofighter at that speed/altitude. they don't launch SAMS at 1 degree angles.
missiles aren't that slow. they accelerate to several times the speed of sound, burning all their fuel a few seconds after launch and coasting the rest of the way. they don't blow up like thermonuclear bombs. pilots don't generally avoid them by leading them into hillsides.
worst moment: when the pilot says "come on, baby" while going vertical (killing his speed) with an AAM on his tail.

Watching the video on IGN, the HAWX pilot is taking out targets for Mitchell and the Ghosts on the ground. Kick ass! But then all the IGN article talks about is dogfighting. So I don't get it. We're getting a Ghost Recon style game, in the air with what having to do with Ghosts on the ground needing air support?
I think it would be a lot cooler if you were in the reverse role and providing the air support for the Ghosts and other missions around the world, not just this dog fighting shit. I'll get Ace Combat for that.
