Tom Clancy has his name attached to many things. The latest is Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. an air combat game set in the near future with references to Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and End War. This time at the Ubisoft booth during E3, we saw new maps, with a few new planes and a first look at the multiplayer team death match where players can shoot each other out of the sky.
The map we were shown was Cape Canaveral, the same location where US spacecrafts are launched. In this particular campaign it is up to you to protect the space shuttle (seen in End War). As tensions rise in South America where a private military company is involved, the US decides to step in and stop the conflict. At this point the PMC strikes back at the US by jamming their satellite network to coordinate an attack on the US. We were told that in the US campaign there will also be three major cities involved but no word on which ones they will be. The detail in the environment is extraordinary, and a quick look at the Middle East map showed the desert landscape, a sharp contrast to Cape Canaveral.
In team death match up to eight players, 4 vs 4, can play against one another. Ubisoft lead game designer explained that there is a good balance between two squadrons and any more would be too chaotic. Even though they didn't show it today, there is also four player cooperative campaign where players can jump in and out of the game. Experience points are gained whether you play solo or multiplayer, in campaign or death match and points are collected to unlock planes and weapons. The planes we got to see was the F-22 which we've seen at Ubidays, the S-47 which is a Russian prototype plane, the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Rafale. We took a spin in the Rafale for this demo but we are told that each aircraft will have their own characteristics when it comes to maneuvering and weapons. They will function differently from one another but they assured us that it will still remain balanced.
Maneuvering the plane takes a bit of getting used to but the right trigger is to accelerate which plays a key role in saving your plane when you happen to stall. If you get hit, leveling out your plane and slamming the acceleration will get you back in the action in no time. We also toggled in and out of an assistance mode where with the assistance on, you will see what the pilot sees and have your plane's safety activated. But with it off, you're outside the plane and have the ability to perform extreme maneuvers which is the heart of the game. Double tapping the left trigger turns the mode on and off. Shooting a friend down earns you 50 points that go toward getting a reward. Once you reach 100 points you have access to a repair drone which helps you and your teammates for a limited time. The amount of points needed for the next bonus increases but special abilities that come with it increase in quality as well. For example you can get EMP blast to stall all your enemies. You are able to request specific targets to your teammates so that they can go after someone who might be tailing you. This creates a strong sense of teamwork and can make the multiplayer experience incredibly enjoyable, especially if you are able to get eight players.
By the time H.A.W.X. releases early next year on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, expect to have 50 planes available with 17 different environments that use high quality satellite data for the maps. Check back soon to see what this exciting game has to offer.. |
