Ubisoft has recently revealed new information about Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2. The sequel to the very popular first game seems to be moving away from the arcade side and more towards realistic flight. Ubisoft have revealed that it will include “all aspects of aerial combat” including takeoffs and landings, air-to-air refuelling, dog fighting, recon missions in UAVs and even laser-guided target bombing.

The game is going to use satellite imagery to create realistic locations and scenery, a massive weak point of the original. Some of the areas that will be included are Moscow, the Arctic Circle and a desert area in the Persian Gulf.

Ubisoft also confirmed that this game will include four-player co-op through the entire campaign as well as “full adversarial multiplayer” with up to 7 other players.

The game is due for a release this autumn but there’s yet to be a confirmed date.

Sounds great, although i did like the first one, i wanted alot more on the MP side, hopefully this will deliver,

fingers crossed
“all aspects of air combat”
Apart from actually flying a plane, I presume :p
Enjoyed the first but the multiplayer just plain failed, got a bit dizzy constantly flying in such tight circles all the time and didn't get time to look at, let alone take in any of the scenery.
Thank God Ubisoft came out with HAWX1 and now HAWX 2. We, the fighting-jet-game fans were getting tired of the only decent one around, namely Ace Combat. And it seems NAMCO has forgotten us. Last AC game was 3 yrs. ago! jeez! And that too was for XBOX. PS users have been left out in the cold since 2006.

NAMCO - you idiots , you shot yourselves in the foot.
Nice :)

Time to dust off my throttle control system and get honing my skills on HAWX again as I'll definately get HAWX 2 if this is included.
