Tom Clancy's HAWX $30 on steam

Probably pick it up later.

Good price. $30 sounds about right.
 
pretty good price.. i dont like to spend more then $20 on games but this one probably is worth the extra 10
 
I would be all over this but I couldn't get the demo running on my Vista X64 box - anybody else?

I'm playing the actual game right now in Windows 7 Beta 64bit. Also played the demo before too on W7 Beta 64bit. Maybe update your drivers?
 
I got in on this, can't say it's as good as I expected, but it's entertaining to say the least :)

i disagree, this game is HELLA fun. dx10 mode looks so beautiful, and it runs well on my 8800gts with high settings

the demo doesnt do the game justice. i thought the demo was good, but after i bought the game i was all smiles. its very well polished and put together, and easy to play.

i think it's surely worth $30, and thats coming from a guy who rarely spends more then $20 on a game.

I had some probs with it. Not sure if it was the game or my Logitech joystick software. Patched them both to latest and it seems to be working fine now. I think Comodo firewall borked my install of the joystick drivers or something.

Vista64 w/ 6gig RAM, on Core i7 base model. No OC yet.
 
I'm running on VistaX64 with no problems... on a side note I got the Thrustmaster combo with HAWX, the stick makes the game much more fun.. it just seems a bit short in single player though, would be nice to see some expansion packs maybe for it. Haven't played multi-player yet though..

Could be the problem, I am on the newest FireGL drivers....
 
Heck, I got a "free" copy in my XFX4890 that I would sell for $20.00 shipped CONUS. Never been installed or taken out of the DVD paper sleeve.

I hope this is not thread crapping. PM me if you want.
 
It is...threadcrapping.

and yeah it might be $30 worth of entertainment, depends on how good the online play is too.
 
I loved the PS3 Demo, want if for the PC because I want to see what the mod community does for it.

Coming from the Falcon 4 crowd, this is basically a FPS with Planes.... However thats fine with me, its a lot of fun..

Good deal, another game added to my Steam account.
 
fps how? im one of the few who really dislike most fps games, and i find this really fun. its more like a 3-d version of 1942... remember that overhead view game thats still in many arcades? loooove that game! this is like what codemasters does to the racing genre- its kinda like simulation, but its also arcade enough to just grab and play. as with codemasters, they blended the two types of reality really well.
 
Personally I would say this game is on par with Ace Combat 4,5 or belkin war for the ps2. Its great and fun, but it is lacking in some areas. Ace Combat 6 for the 360 in my opinion is a lot more detailed.

All and all this game is great but it :)

I had the same problem with the demo. 4GB RAM, Q9300 here. I think I had to eventually run it in XP compatibility mode as an Administrator. Therefore idk if I was running true DX10.
 
Thanks to OP, I remembered that I bought a joystick (not that joy stick, you filthy...) years ago I can play with this game.
 
Is this game worth busting out my x52 joystick/throttle for, or is it playable with a mouse/keyboard?

I wouldnt see why not, I was actually going to buy a x52 just for this game, but my XBOX360 controller is working fine for now.
 
I dunno but the no assistance mode is interesting to say the least....i'm playing with mouse/kb and it's just fine but still.....no assistance mode is just..well, weird.
 
ive been playing this game lots since i bought it. the graphics are really cool- i love divebombing down on battleships and shooting some jrockets at them, then barely pulling up fast enough to fly through the fireball :D i find that sometimes the fireball gets me and blows me up though
 
Haha yeah it is, i just finished blowing up the one flagship that was threatening the american fleet...that was a cool mission, i notice that the missions get progressively longer w/ more mixes of ground/air/sea units.
 
Was on the fence, but now that it's back up to normal price, I can pass for now. Kind of waiting for the successor to IL-2, but getting impatient.

Agreed. i bit on this deal, and the assist OFF mode is interesting. I like how you can pull of ridiculous maneuvers to dodge missiles or bring enemies in sight, but it does not lend itself to low-altitude flights through chicago. The standard view is much better for that and leads to MUCh fewer plane carcasses embedded in the hancock building.

So far I am having a lot of fun with it, and am looking forward to the multiplayer.

What I would REALLY like is a Ghost Recon game based around some of the ground aspects of it that follow the air portion

For example in Chicago when you are defending the guys going after the jammer, or in DC when you are fighting off the invaders.
