Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. review
Tom Clancy’s HAWX lets you become a pilot of the future; it is a game
primed to revolutionize the way you think about combat in the sky.
Cutting-edge technology, devastating firepower, and intense dogfights help
this title fit right in with the rest of the Tom Clancy franchise.
ENHANCED REALITY SYSTEM (E.R.S.) : E.R.S. is in-game technology that helps
turn novice aviators into elite pilots of the future. The Enhanced Reality
System is the core of the HAWX flight experience: aircraft interception
trajectories, incoming missile detection, anti-crash system, damage
assessment, tactical map, and weapons trajectory control. E.R.S. also
allows players to issue orders to their squadron and other units, making
this system as iconic to HAWX as the Cross-Com system is to Tom Clancy’s
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter®!
ASSISTANCE MODE : Players can ease into their flight missions and gain a
level of comfort with the use of the assistance mode. Once employed,
players can take full advantage of their technological support through the
E.R.S and gain maximum piloting security. If the situation calls for the
player to unleash the full potential of the aircraft, the assistance mode
can be switched off and all safety features will be deactivated. This comes
with increased risks, but allows the player advanced dogfighting maneuvers
and stunning third-person views.
REVOLUTIONARY MULTIPLAYER : For the first time ever in the air-combat
genre, players will be able to experience the entire solo campaign with
seamless JUMP IN/JUMP OUT functionality. In PVP mode, players can challenge
each other in intense dog-fighting sessions and find out who’s the
top gun. Winning players are rewarded with experience points and money to
unlock more weapons.
REALISM AND TECHNOLOGY : Players have the opportunity to take the throttle
of over 50 famous aircrafts, and take them over real world locations &
cities in photo-realistic environments created with the best commercial
satellite data on the civilian market.
