Most likely posted elsewhere but not here, I would say the biggest problems with the game are the occasional freeze and achievements not unlocking when you play co-op, both have affected me and numerous other people

[RedlineSV]

I am very happy with the game.

The only issues I have at the moment is when the start screen freezes my X box.

Also I would like to see more mutliplayer modes. I feel TDM doesnt allow for all the types of planes to be used e.g bombers. I would like ot see different objectives (e.g destroy the emeny airfield or protect a cargo plane, similar to the missions)so the teams can use more tatics and make full use of the equipment avialible.

Apart from that very happy so far. Good game guys http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

the vs matches does not work. the game starts i fire one missile and im disconnected from server. sometimes i cant even get into the vs match without it disconnecting. also on the press start screen at the beginning before you select storage device i press start and 50% of the time my xbox freezes and i have to reset by turning off/on. real good game otherwise

[Sgt.Smoke420]

While I havent played mp yet, the sp has been solid. I havent had any issues like anyone else, all planes seem to be unlocking, all challenges completing. I really had reserves about this game with the ***.. Off mode, and I didnt want to play like that, but after forcing myself(knowing it would be easier and my flying would be better w/) I flew with it for a about 4 hours yesterday, before my wife finally kicked me off. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and everything about it. I havent played any flight game since freaking Top Gun for nes, and I jumped into this one on the hard setting, with high hopes of finishing it, and going back at it on Elite. I wish there were more people online, I only saw roughly 8-10 games going on during the day. When i get on, I guess it doesnt matter as long as there is one good game.

[elad13]

1. Had to load the game to HD so it didn't freeze at the select storage device screen.
2. got an acheivement in the game but it did not register on xbox acheivemnt list..specifically the Mach2 for 1 hour acheivement.
3. would like ot be able to view hanger with out going into game mode.

[Metaphoric]

Hey,

As said by everyone else I really like the game, top work! Loving the single player missions, the leveling up system and challanges are great.

However you did invite suggestions so...
Firstly some things i would like to see added:
- More multiplyer modes
- Option to 'replay' the single player campaign rather than just individual missions
- A 'sandbox' mode, similar to free flight but with the option to add enemies or friendly aircraft to the area, maybe on the fly
- More challanges? I'm working through them quite nicely but am nowhere near level 40 (more more SP ones would be great.

And a few fixes:
- Multiplayer: Auto-team balance is very hit and miss, infact i'm yet to see it work
- Multiplayer: If the host quits it would be nice for the game to select a new host, not kick everyone out
- Muiltiplayer: There doesn't seem to be any feedback when you ask for an assault/defence from teammates - there is no indication that the request was sent
- Some of the recommended planes seem a little 'off'. For example the mission 'typhoon' in tokyo suggested a ground superiority craft and except for the naval units at the end it was mostly aerial combat.

Not complaints as such, just some constuctive ideas.
Hope they help.

[SalemInChains]

when playing3 player co-op all players on hard. Playing in the nevada desert, the 3 of us split up and took each column on enemies and demolished them without problem. We then proceeded to attack the "Nuke Site" by flying into the yellow circle surrounding it. After taking out all instalations the game then promted that the bombers were on thier way to clear AA (which we mrudered minutes before). At this point the allied armies never advanced. The timer ran out and the mission failed. After restarting mission we waited for "bombers" to prompt then we attacked and mission passed. We flew in circles for 1 1/2 minutes time.

Thanks for setting up this forum so we can give back to the UbiTeam.

[halfevilhomer2]

The game is fantastic, i love the planes, love the look and feel of the game. Love how it ties in the Ghosts. All round i give it 9/10

I do have some problems that i have encountered though. While playing co-op on xbox live:
1.Missiles dont destroy enemy tragets - they lock on and follow the target but dissappear right before impact

2. Enemies seem to be under the floor of the map. One enemy was reading 12,500 under the floor when i was flying at an altitude of 100m

3. Some epic respawn times occur. Ive had to wait at least an minute and half to get to the respawn screen where it counts down before.

Hopefully these can be fixed with a patch.

Everything else about the game is ACE - PS kudos for the Blavkbird and the Harrier! woop woop =)

[EKS_Abyss]

1) PLEASE make it so that when you change your callsign, it doesn't reset your stats and progress. Make it the stats attached to the GT instead of the Callsign.

2) The single player is fantastically fun. If only the game was more difficult. I played through on Elite the first time and finished it in two nights. I know AI changes at this point is a tall request, but maybe a few tweaks would be nice.

3) For this game to survive, we really need a multiplayer system revamp. Create standarized playlist lobbies a la Halo 3 or CoD. When you join that lobby, you know what you're getting into. As of now, you have no idea what type of game you're getting into unless you create a custom match yourself.

For example:

Lobby 1: Ranked (Disconnect penalties, strict rulesets, etc)

Lobby 2: Social (Regular TDM with a few game variants such as gun battle, realism, etc.)

Lobby 3: Custom (People can create their own gametypes).

4) Make partying a reality! What is the point of having a squadron/team/clan if you can't really play with them? I know you can try to join the same game or host one in Player Match (though this is difficult with more than two people). Make this a reality in ranked.

5) Create penalties for leaving MP games! As of now, there is no reason not to d/c whenever you want even in a ranked game.

This is a game gleaming with potential and the fact that you guys are asking for our input shows me that you guys aren't going to leave us iced with an incomplete multiplayer. Kudos!

[InheritedWorm]

My issue is that i cannot join any live games, every time i seem to join from co-op to versus after i send 1 missile i get disconnected,

[Robert-0137]

The game froze once at the the end of a TDM game. It just sat there while it transferred back to the lobby but nothing happened.

Xbox froze once at the loading screen of my first TDM game. I couldn't open the dashboard menu and nothing would respond to the still screen so i had to turn the Xbox off and then back on again.

When ever you back out of the menu where you can change your call sign or unlock a new plane; it resets me to all the cutscenes that play at the start of the screen. It's really annoying that the game reloads even if i haven't changed anything. I have to spend the time skipping the cutscenes and reloading my HDD data when it should just bring me back to the previous game menu.

It takes very long to cycle through the planes in the hangar since every plane must load it's 3d image and you have 53 planes in a linear list. Can you make an easier list? Or a way to sort through them all? Say i just wanted to narrow the plane i wanted to take by only Bombers, or by which could take a certain missile or only Vietnam era planes. I would be presented a smaller sub list which would be easier to choose.

Can we have the option to have the HUD camera overlaid over the Cockpit Camera? When your in cockpit view you want the option to toggle on all the information of the HUD while having the aesthetics of the cockpit itself. I don't want the HUD on the physical HUD, but overlaid on top of the cockpit almost like it was a mounted helmet HUD. Can we have the option to combine the two?

The camera zoom in 3rd person is too close. When you try to see an enemy below or above the plane, your jet takes up far too much space on the screen. Is there any way we could have the option to zoom out a little?

Sometimes the 3rd person view will leave the plane at a slight off center camera angle to the right. It reorients itself when i move the sight change stick a bit. Not much of a problem, but a bit annoying when you want to have it directly at the back of the plane.

All the information you get in the camera view with the map, the preview of your enemy, how many kills your team mates have gotten, the control input suggestions, the video of your commander talking and the banner at the top; All of these crowd out a lot of the screen and are all opaque. It would be nice to have the option to have those things a little more out of the way, or else to have them more see through. The map, especially when it's zoomed in covers up your plane. In Assistance Off, the camera will often put the plane behind the map so that you can't see it and you lose the orientation of knowing if your plane is right side up, or upside down.


ASSISTANCE ON:
While i like the Assistance Off feature and view, i despise the fact that you can't stall or even go slow in 3rd person/cockpit; in fact it's either half throttle or full afterburner. This leaves a poor turning radius excluding the fact that you can barely turn to a half of the planes full potential, often driving you into the ground even though your skilled enough to pull up in time.

I agree that you have the creative right to make a game however you please, and that the game play might be designed around the Assistance feature. But it disappointments me that you Gave us such nice cockpit and plane models, and yet ruined the maneuverability i get in the traditional view, in favor of a view that is fun but doesn't give me the thrill of seeing my plane or cockpit.

You have 53 planes and stunning graphics and maps. These should more than blow away the competition, but as it stands those features only make up for the fact that your being restricted in views and maneuverability. Hawx has a lot of potential that seems to have been squandered in the Assistance feature.

PLEASE, just give us the OPTION of letting the plane have regular maneuverability and full throttle control so i can stall and make slow bombing runs, as well as turn decently.

-The option to remove Radar guided missiles from a Team Death Match. Someone will fly high up out of range and spam you. You can't dodge them and it is so annoying.

[BluMustang]

Hi,

The main issue I have encountered is a clipping in the sound at the beginning of each audio/video message during missions. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it is just my version. This didn't happen in the demo, so I'm wondering if it just my disc. Also, one of the mission achievements did not unlock. Apart from that I'm enjoying it! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[killbox04]

A few things I've noticed... In TDM some of the players can't hear each other. The only way to fix it is to logout of Xbox live and reconnect.

Some achievements are not unlocking for me. I recovered from an EMP stall at 11 meters didn't get anything. While my buddy got it at 24 meters.

Someone mentioned else said something about different gameplay modes. Like if one team had to attack and another defended would be nice. Just so you could use the bombers online.

You Sir, are a GENIUS! Couldn't have put it better myself.

I was actually compiling a list of things whilst playing but the first thing I noticed when I got it (on the 5th) was not being able to slow to a stall in Assitance On mode, which sucks. The plane also auto-throttles when pulling loops and rolls which is stupid because avoiding missiles is a tad harder when it doesn't need to be.

I agree with everything you have said.

FIX WHAT HE SAID!!!! (Don't bugger the net code though because I have 2meg broadband an I can host rooms perfect) :P

Peace!

[Kraikky]

I love the game and hope alot of the things posted do get fixed / added because it could become a really popular game.

Whilst the campaign was really fun once you've done it, it becomes less interesting each time you redo it, so i think more focus has to be on the multiplayer features, After all, the most popular games (Cod4, COD: WAW, Halo 3, GOW2 etc.etc.) All have great multiplayer modes and thats probably why they are so popular.

We need alot more variety in game modes, like attack/defend, etc.etc.
The great variety of planes is really awsome and i like the leveling system and challenges, but theres little use in being in a bomber aircraft when its TDM, with no ground targets, Unless your going defensive with the Electronic Warfare Weapon pack.

A better lobby system would be a really good improvement, Sorta like cod4s lobbys, Its sometimes hard to get into games if your with a group, and a pre-game lobby would be ideal.

The Assistance OFF Camera is really awsome and i personally love it and use it all the time, but it could use some tweaking, maybe a rotatable camera, or if it keeps your target on screen ALL the time (like when you hold Y in ON mode),

Its also really hard to use Rocket Pods and the Machine guns in Assistance OFF, so the rotatable camera / A fixed camera behind your aircraft would make it much easier to gun down targets.

Cant think of much more and dont want to repeat alot of whats been said but i hope you fix any of the bugs, and also add lots of more multi-player features as this will make HAWX be alot better than it already is.

Thank you for taking the time to read everyones opinions.

[Robert-0137]

Edit: I didn't read what you said while i was writing this Kraikky because i was still on an unrefreshed page; But man, we thought up almost the exact same thing. That's all the reason it should be put in the game because it's the first and most intuitive solution we both came up with.

A few more things:
The sight change in 3rd person is a bit finicky. It seems like it's mapped to the analog stick to give it more control, but what i want is range of motion. If you pull it forward and right all the way, it'll give you a view off center from the horizon of the plane. I keep wanting it to give me 20 more degrees or so.

Add camera movement for the Assistance Off feature, as it stands the camera analog is disabled. Let the camera give you a 360 degree view of the plane: So for example, your chasing an in front of you and you have an enemy shooting missiles at you from behind. You press back on the camera and now you can quickly see behind you and asses the situation. You let go of the analog stick and it quickly resets to the the regular A/Off angle of the enemy your locked on to. Simple as that.

When there are no enemies, let the player be able to scroll the camera left and right so he knows where he is going to. Letting go of the analog will not recenter on an arbitrary point, but it will once enemies are reintroduced.

To better switch between targets in Assistance Off How about you hold down the Y button, and scroll through the enemies using the left D pad or Analog stick. Or you could find some other solution like holding down Y fixes camera behind the plane. This way you could leave the left analog to fly, and use that so the enemy that your pointing at is the one that will be locked on. You could group whole sets of enemies so by holding Y and pressing a direction on the D pad, you cycle through whole groups (tank Battalion to the North, or a group of Bombers coming from the south) Then once you let go of holding down Y, you get a more advanced selection of the individual fighters in that group to lock on. As it stands you have a hard time scrolling through enemies in Assistance Off. It'll only let you cycle on the enemies directly in front of you when you want to fight someone behind you. Or it'll focus you on an irrelevant enemy halfway across the map when you have a fighter close by you that you want to fight. A little priority in what it selects as the most hostile would be helpful.

Let us change the color of the HUD in the options menu. Many pilots are used to switching the color to green or yellow for maximum contrast or preference. My favorite Mech game Steel Battalion had this feature. It would be a very simple thing to just add a few standard colors to the HUD. White on a blue sky with white clouds is a little hard to see.

Make the Compass on the HUD a little more noticeable. It's a bunch of dots and then a small N for north. It'd be easier when someone calls out Interceptors to the south east you could just turn till it says south east on your HUD instead of reverting to the giant map.

Please put a mach indicator next to the speed of the HUD. Watching climb past mach 1 and then 2 would be so cool. It so much helpful and exhilarating to say "I'm going twice the speed of sound!" Or a G gauge to see how much pressure i'm putting on the plane.

[ShootToThrill15]

Fix the constant freezing and I'll be happy. I don't just freeze at the "press start" screen. I freeze all the time. I have yet to get far enough in the first campaign mission to fire a missile at the ground targets.

Keep in mind my Xbox is not locking up, but the game is just hard-locking. After it freezes, I can press the xbox guide button on my controller and hear the dashboard come up but I can't see it and further button presses do no register. Also, if I leave my xbox on for a bit after it freezes and hit the power button on my console, all of the xbox alerts (friends logging in and whatnot) will appear just before the console shuts down. So.. the Xbox isn't hard-locking, just the game.

[CoreofexisteNz]

I have the same problem with the "collision warning" challenge ive recovered from a stall at 16m ive flown under bridges in loops all in off mode but i cant unlock it

and the vertigo one, for some reason, not unlocking for me, at an altitude of >40m whilst upside down

the "enhanced reality system" challenges only register kills if you kill them WHILST in the blue triangles making the achievements for them too much of a pain to get since it takes up way too much freaking time to get it done right and id rather get 2500-5000xp per mp game

the Assistance off thing was a valid point, I feel like im only GUIDING my plane not controlling it, some more freedom and the option to stall would be excellent

the game lobbies as they are make it impossible.. wait I should say game lobby as it is makes it impossible to find games you want
I DID find a way to circumvent it though but it works occasionally(join a friend game only to find that game full and it shows you an overview of all open lobbies usually only showing 10-15)

and please for the love of god remove the emp strike, and add a 45 sec immunity to crashing because of it, its happened way too often that I was around 1600 and instead of dying to the enemy id just die and lose points, I understand its meant to that but sheesh

the thing I cant stand, I have played atleast 6 hours of mp today, and in over half those games whomever got the emp strike once.. and gets 4 kills.. and then gets it again, and on the few odd times... again, fix that if you arent going to remove the "emp strike" which should only PUT you in a stall not keep you in one

blablabla im bored

[EKS_Abyss]

1) Backing up Core... the powerups are far too random. As such, some MP games come down to whoever gets lucky. Its annoying when one team gets Missile Suppression or Radar Jamming 3 times in a row.

2) Please fix it so that when the a server setting is changed in a multiplayer lobby, it doesnt reset your weapon pack selection. A lot of hosts are abusing this to throw off people's weapon selection for their first engagement.

[Fling_311]

When using radar guided missiles in multiplayer, sometimes they refused to fire once you are in range and have a solid lock. Happens about 20% of the time. This happens WITHOUT any enemy support active.

Team balancing, if it is in the game, doesn't work well at all.

[CoreofexisteNz]

backing up abyss on the weapon pack selection

[Ragnar257]

I already pm'ed the HUGE exploit I found, hopefully it gets fixed before other people notice it

But yeah, I've also had a problem where after i activate the AWACS support in multiplayer, my MultiAA missiles don't lock on to anything for the rest of the match.

Edit: Also, I'd love to see the match settings on the ready screen, so I can choose my favorite plane and armaments. It sucks to chose a plane with the TOP and then find out it's a guns only match.

[CoreofexisteNz]

lol ive known about the exploit since friday, stumbled across it whilst playing :P

freaking kids and their wish to be #1 on the leaderboard.. big whoop, no one really cares :P

[RedlineSV]

I also agree with alot of the post here that you should be able to rotate the camera in OFF mode. Maybe have it "if you press Y then the camera does not follow the enemy and you can rotate the camera then press Y again and the camera follows the enemy" (similar to ON mode by holding Y) this would give me a far better view of what going on e.g incoming missiles.

[InheritedWorm]

it seems that the issue with in game disconnecting constantly seems to be fixed which i am really happy about,

about the freezing i have heard many times to just copy the game to your hard drive
this also reduces noise from your xbox, so instead of moaning and moaning just download the game till the bug is fixed,

i just see that HAWX is amazing from the amount of planes you get to the range of firepower, to the way you can move in assistance on and off,

some people just want to moan

for example (Robert-0137) these are all such small things, if you dont like 3rd person then fly in 1st person, as you see everything

comon guys just enjoy the game

[CoreofexisteNz]

another thing that greatly annoys me, the Multi-AA when fired in a full game(4v4) sometimes show no missiles when fired(when firing 4), or just one (when firing 3)

firing 2 works fine, firing one works fine, but 3-4 dont, this generally only happens when (SPAMMING) firing them sequentially(i.e. spamming a before the missiles are ready to fire

inheritedworm, we arent moaning, we are simply saying we dont need the game to hold our hands to stop us from stalling, dude, we arent moaning about the camera we are moaning about assistance on being too restricted, and we arent moaning for trhe sake of moaning, I ****ing love the game and have prolly logged more hours in it then you could possibly have imagined possible over one weekend http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

GTFO!
Don't come into a thread just to troll. Especially pick on one person like an ***. The topic is Feedback/Bug report. Ive been posting constructive feedback and bugs; not complaining, but saying what many people have independently thought were things that could be tweaked and this game needs (icing on the cake). You must be one those people who don't read anything anyone posts and just writes stupid Reader's Digest comments. I LIKE 3rd person, you can't see any of the HUD in Cockpit, You can't see the Cockpit in the HUD view. You must really hate yourself if you go around asking for people to say your an ***.


Back on topic: I realize now that holding down Y would remove the left thumb from flying the plane which is bad. Since the right Analog stick doesn't do anything in Assistance off, you can just use it as a regular camera, and click it in to lock onto someone. That would be the simplest thing because you now you can still fly and dodge missiles while you look around for an enemy and click to switch targets; and once someone behind you is locked, you can let go of the analog and focus on firing missiles because the camera will then be conveniently locked on him.

Let us map the buttons. I'd like to switch X for guns and B for ERS. It gives you quick missile firing in a dogfight, and lets you quickly tap guns once the opportunity presents itself. ERS is still easily accessible on the B button.

If you can see Assistance Off in Cockpit and 3rd person view in a replay, than why not just give us these views in A/Off. It isn't disorienting or hard to follow at all.

[Reborn_Smokin]

Thanks for the top game, just a few tweaks and you'll be there for the next game.

Cameras are fine apart from the fact that you can't look down into the cockpit (pointless i know but something seems wierd when you can look left/right/up and not down).
Adding a movement cam while in "off" mode will make it harder to track objects whilst in the middle of a 180 degree barrel-roll stall manuvoure. A simple object tracker as indicated in game is fine and works perfectly (If you disagree try 10 minutes practicing in expert "off" mode.
Damage on the planes.
Needs some kind of damage "stickers" on the planes or loss of parts. No point having these though if the visual damage doesnt reflect a degredation in performance. IE A-10 can fly with either an engine/part main wing/nose Or half the tail missing, BUT its gonna be pretty knackered and would become unrealistic if it were to fly at 100% performance if at 1% health http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Also missiles/rockets being fired from the top of the screen when my plane's obviously near the bottom.

Enemies in 1up or co-op.
Need to greatly increase the number onscreen and alternate the direction of attack.
DC issues need to be fixed in both multiplayer Vs. and Co-op. This is the most serious issue you can imagine whilst playing as it can make people give up on a games multiplayer modes.

Speaking of which, needs more variety in said modes. Maybe attack the aircraft carrier/escort human controlled 747/bomb the runway to name a few simple types.


Thanks for listening

[Reborn_Smokin]

Ah Christ i forgot, fix the start up menu crashing please?

[Wimpy_Gamelord]

I know that there currently problems with the HAWX freezing on the xbox; but my problem is far worse. I have hawx installed on my HDD and every time the game freezes it can only be turned off from the console button, then when I play another game my profiles (saved on the hard-drive) disappear. Its not a coincidence because I tried it four different times and got the same results. in my case hawx seems to delete my FIFA 09 profile every time the game freezes.

[Metaphoric]

Thought of a potential for new challanges:

I love 'Secondary Objectives' in games, maybe they could be integrated into the challenges somehow?
For example on the AF-1 protection mission 'AF-1 should only take a maximum of 25% damage'.
A boming mission could be 'complete the run using under X number of bombs', or 'bomb targets in a certain order' for example.

Just a few ideas but I like that stuff, adds another level to each mission

[GoLDeNxWaRRiOr]

Xbox 360 achievements don't register after playing online. I was doing fine with the achievements, then i went into a co-op match and none of my achievements have unlocked afterwords for instance; TDM Rookie. I have won a good amount of team deathmatches and still I don't have the achievement.

Also a few times I have been playing and the sound has cut off, still hearing the noise when you press the xbox guide button. Playing on HDMI.

And a few other random crashes needs to be fixed

so far this game is fantastic...except for one thing that nobody else seems to be experiencing....I CAN'T turn off assistance, no matter what difficulty I choose, whether I use voice command or not, nothing, nothing at all....I don't get it.

Have you completed the OFF Certification level in the Single Player Campaign? You cannot do it until you finish that mission. Its about 4-5 levels in I think.

[shadowfox33]

The major problem I've had is that I haven't been able to play it yet and I bought it the first day. I'm on my second copy and both copies froze on the title screen or the loading screens before entering the first issue. I really would like to play this game, but when it crashes out of the gate and never lets you play, I get just a wee bit ticked off

[jamfanli]

My feedback:

first

some of the plane's model scale imbalance, One of the most obvious is the AV-8B Harrier, Some parts completely wrong, I suggest that developers should be careful redo with Reality reference.


Second
Assistance Off is good, But that does not mean mandatory users use only one camera, Should at least add an option, Allows the user to select a suitable camera.

what I meant was, give me FULL PLANE CONTROL in assistance on mode

so no gay 1000kmh limiter when I hit the brakes and such :P

[xBLACK_JACKx]

Some achievements aren’t unlocking for me. I have done all the missions on elite and have the achievement for it but I haven’t got the achievement for unlocking and completing level 16 upwards.

Hopefully Ubi will release a patch that unlock the minion complete achievements it you have one on the campaign complete achievement.

[Chefman420]

Great Game! but has a few bugs.

1.) 50% chance the game will freeze when Iam at the start menu ( when getting ready to read my Xbox 360 hard drive)

2.) I get disconnected from Ranked matches randomly (not to often but very annoying)

3.) Need to have an invite function for ranked play? Can't play ranked with friends?

4.) Need to have more competitive online modes besides TDM (don't get me wrong its fun but get stale). Would be nice to see the bombers being used online.

5.)Come out with some DLC for Xbox 360 (free lol)

[CoreofexisteNz]

found another issue, when my xbox is redlining(warm) I can play any match do any mission whatever


BUT ONLY IF I SKIP THE MOVIE

the game seems to draw way too many resources when loading a movie, thus freezing midmovie when my xbox is warm :P

just thought id mention it

Sorry to say it, but i really hope they DONT do that.

I doubt they will to be honest though since assistance off is one of the unique selling points of the game, and frankly what drew me into buying it.

[Karaya_1986]

Hello, I don’t know if something of my points has been posted before, so sorry if I repeat something but the thread is now to big to read everything.

(1) SPEAKER-SYMBOL IN THE GAMELOBBY
We need a speaker-symbol at the Game Lobby before the Game starts, so everyone can see who is speaking right now. Also in the Game would be very useful. The problem is, there are sometimes people in the game and there microphones are sending a loud, scratching noise, which drown everything else. So you can’t hear anything and this horrible sound make you crazy. So if there is a speaker-symbol after every player and its highlighted if he is “sending” something this would really help to say them to do something again this. Or at least for you to mute him constantly in the Xbox-Gide-Menu.

(2) SELECT A PLAYER IN THE GAMELIST BEFORE START
If the game is starting, we can select one of the players of the player list and press Y to see his profile in the Xbox-Gide-Menu, problem is, this is not possible before the game is getting “initialized”. So before this, we have not the option to mute someone because of my point number (1). So we should can do this before, I hope you know what is mean.

(3) COUNTER FOR FORCED GAMESTART
Also a timer which starts when the half (let’s say 4 if the number of players is 8,..) number of the player in the game is ready, and counts down to like 2 minutes (could be set in the game settings by host) and after the timer is finish or everyone is ready the game starts. This would minimize the waiting time a lot. And 2 minutes are enough to select a plain. If someone is leaving and a other one is taking his place he should have at least 1 minute to select a plain, so the timer should get to 1 minute if he is under 1 minute at the moment he join the game.

(4) HOST CAN KICK PLAYER
The host should have the option to kick someone from the server if everyone is ready and has to wait for minutes, because of him (Point (3) could be also a solution)

(5) EVEN TEAMS
The game always can be start if there is an even number of players in the lobby. This includes the combination of 2vs4 also. This can’t be, it is unfair for the team with the lower number of players. Only allow the game starting if the teams a balanced. So one more argument for team auto balance.

(6) SWITCH TEAMS IN THE LOBBY
A player should have the option to switch the team in the lobby to make the teams even.

(7) SERVER INFORMATIONS
I like the option of quick ranked match, but there is a big problem with it, if you connected to the server, you have no idea in which game mode you are (Normal, Simulation, Hardcore, Custom), because the button of the server information’s is disabled. The only way to get some information about the mode is to select a plain and take a look how many weapons you have. But this is not really helpful, you can also be in a gun-only game and have no idea if it is so. So please make the button working.

(8) SERVERBROWSER MORE INFOS
If you use the “server browser” to find the list of running servers you only see the game mode, which is always TD, but this is no really helpful. Because at the moment it is the only game mode. What would help is to show the server mode like Normal, Simulation, Hardcore…). This could be displayed in the list of the server, I think there is enough space, ore you select the server and press a button like X and get detail information in a window over the server with all relevant information’s.

(9) OFF-MODE MORE INFORMATIONS (additional HUD)
I think at least a little HUD information’s like the current altitude and speed could be very helpful. The Dev’s could make a selection for a HUD in the game-settings, so people which like to use it can activate this option.

(10) HUD IN THE COCKPIT-VIEW
I’d like to see the HUD on the glass in the middle of the screen where it should be in real planes. Some people say I don’t want this, I can’t see if I shoot with the machinegun. So my opinion is, do the same I say on Point (9). Who like to have the HUD on the glass can activate it in game settings. This would help everyone. Sure there is sometimes at the left side a display which shows the HUD, but this doesn’t help me, because it’s not in my point of view (the middle of the cockpit, the glass at front). So if you play the simulation mode, which I love you really need some more information’s from the HUD, and this would be a lot more authentic.

(11) VIEW DIRECTION BUG IN THE COCKPIT-VIEW
If you move the right stick to look around it looks like the whole environment is moved, not just your view. What I mean is, if you are flying directly to a fix-point like a building in front of you and you move the camera with the right sick, the little bird-symbol (which shows the position of the wing to the horizon) is still on the building, but the environment is sliding to the side if you move the stick, like you are using the ruddes. So it looks like you are flying a curve, but you don’t. So my explanation for this is, the Developers just copy the camera from the 3rd-Person-View to the cockpit view, this could be the reason. If you compare them, there are exactly the same cameras moving. No offend to the Developers, just my guess.

(12) START FREEZING BUG
The first thing I do, if I buy a new game, I install it on the HDD of my 360, to speed up the loading time and keep the sound of the drive down. But I have still sometimes the problem with freezing game at the start. please fix this.

(13) REPLAY AND RECORDING FUNCTION
I would love to have a replay function like in AC6 and a recording funktion like the ps3 has.

FINALY A WORD TO THE PATCH POLITIC
Please don't let us wait weeks/months like in Endwar (I know this are other Devs, but this is addressed to UBI) to get a patch ready, which correct the important bugs and glitches. Please first concentrate at the important thinks and bring a patch ASAP. After this, it is time for the lower important things. 2-3 Patches in 2 Weeks is a lot better than 1 Patch you have to wait over months.

Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my mother language, but I do my best. I also don’t play the game in the English version, so there could be some name difficulty in my points, so I hope you all know what I want to say.

So if there points I say which are still implement but I don’t know about them, feel free to tell me how I can find them. Thx

[elfie5492]

I would like to play with my friends in ranked matches and not just player matches and also in free flight.

[LegionXES]

Just played the demo will probably not buy the game unless assistance off mode is changed. Blazing angels had a perfect camera tracking ability similar to this except it felt real like you were flying a plane not a rc toy. Seriously don't ruin a great game by not giving the gamer a choice of views.

[ripsta2004]

first off i wanna say ya can change teams in player matches and in ranked modes it automatically starts if one person isn't ready.

but what i would really like to see is an increase in payload like maybe double the missiles even then ya won't have very many missiles especially in hardcore which is the best in my opinion of all the gametypes and missile ordances and also PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY DOWNLOADABLE PLANES LIKE OTHER FLIGHT GAMES HAVE DONE IT RUINS THE GAME COMPLETEY IF YA DO DON'T GIVE ANY ANY NEW STATS JUST DIFFERENT SKINS I SUPPOSE OR MAKE GARBAGE PLANES LIKE ACE COMBAT 6 DID

[johndoe2202]

I've yet to finish a multiplayer match...randomly throughout the game I get 'disconnected from the sever'. Doesn't matter whether i'm playing co-op campaign, ranked or player match over Xbox Live.

Also noticed the freeze at the PRESS START menus...sometimes it freezes the whole xbox and I need to restart the console.

Think I'll just return the game...it's the first time i've bought an Ubisoft game, so not sure whether there problems that will actually get fixed.

HAving a bug with the Achievements. I have completed 16 of the 18 missions so far and the achievement for mission 13 is no where to be found. After the mission i received the message at the bottom of the screen showing that i earned the achievement, but if i go look at my list of achievements, 13 is not there no is it listed as a possible achievement to earn??

You can verify this by taking a look at my gamertag on xbox.com, gamertag is mleach82

[ElRussoUK]

I very much like the game and have one suggestion.

It would be nice if in single player campaign mode that the game defaults to the mission after the last one completed.

I go through the missions two or three at a time and it would be nice if the game "assumed" I wanted to play the next mission instead of having to scroll through to find it.

[CodeBoyJace]

Request for Ranked Game Lobby.

The ability to see server settings. I can't tell you how many times I've had teammates quit out on me because we don't know what settings the host has put on the match.

I know you can get an idea of the damage level by choosing your plane and seeing the loadout, but even then it still shows the disabled weapons available. Then when you pop into the match you see most of your weapons gone.

I know you can always switch loadouts while in limbo, but you can't switch planes. If I had known that certain weapons were going to be not allowed I would have picked another plane.

I don't think much is really needed for a change. Maybe just enabling the server options button in the menu and locking out the ability to change it. Then if the host gets cute and tries to change something last minute, have the server settings button fade in and out so everyone can check on it.


This already has been mentioned but showing a speaker when a person talks would be nice. A bunch of people come in and just have the mic going with static. A quick mute feature would be nice.

Thanks for listening.

im not saying take OFF out, and let ON be the mode, im saying, ALLOW ME TO BRAKE TO STALL POINT

stall point is around 300-450 depending on the plane, thats 700 below the "safe limit" so full plane control would mean you could drop back down that far, and bank the plane(you cant pull off the super moves like you can in off, but atleast you can tell the plane what to do rather then just "guiding" it

[CoreofexisteNz]

Also important, input a CLAN WAR system, or a CLAN system as a whole, that would seriously increase the amount of squads and wars to be played

when it says "disconnected from server" it means the host left, IF you host and its laggy and not playable, consider your inet/network messy and screwed up

you actually need a strong connection for this game, and alot of people seem to think their tiny little adsl lines can cut it

(the freezing issue is due to the xbox isnt supposed to be on that much, or you still have the old hardware on it, meaning.. theres a 60% failure rate for em http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

PS. I am in the NL, we have the highest commercial inet connections available(example, the average here is 25mbitdown/10mbitup and its like 45 euros for a 2x 80/20 connection)
however in the US the freaking landlines are so thick and slow you need a freaking 10mbit minimum to do anything cause of the bandwith congestion

In single player, When the planes AI are not a primary target, they seem to get stupid and perform crazy stuttering manuevers.

Please make the missions harder on Elite mode, and give us more stuff to shoot in co-op.

Unlock the view in cockpit mode. So you can look down.

allow camera changes in assistance off mode.

A multiplayer battle mode where you have to protect your tanks while taking out the other teams tanks, while they do the same.

HAWX is great, but it would not take that much more to make it AWESOME.

[krazyl]

Why is multiplayer only allowed if your connected to xbox live??? I think that makes the game way less appealing. Especially if someone doesnt have xbox live, they cant play with thier friends. Unless im doing something wrong, i would like to be able to play with my friends without being on xbox live.

[CodeBoyJace]

This is to amend my previous complaint.

Apparently you CAN view server options while in a ranked lobby. The problem is you have to hit ready, then not ready to have the Server Options button available. Ever once in a while it will be selectable when I enter, but 95% of the tmie I have to ready/unready.

[boostfreak1974]

great work guys i have come across some of the problems that other users have encounterd one the most is the xbox freezing at the start screen. a couple of things that i would like to see is the ranking sorted out it is well quite long winded and alternative game modes for online.

[killbox04]

My game would freeze @ the "press start" screen when it asks which storage device, I get around it by waiting about 10 sec after the "press start" appears. You should see the screen sorta flicker and then it's good to go.<br><br>The major problem I have is after playing multiplayer for a few maps random people can't hear each other, for example I can hear someone talking to someone in the lobby but the other person can't. I end up relaying the message. If everyone shuts off the Xbox and joins up again it's fine for a brief time. VERY ANNOYING.<br><br>Oh and missiles not firing but the the amount goes down.

[Dirk_Danger]

Again as has already been mentioned. When playing co-op, it has been my experience that the host will gain achievements, and party members will not. Now that the level has been unlock, I cannot go back and unlock those levels save I either: delete my existing save or play though and not save any progress.

Other than this setback, I have been enjoying the game!!

[Pixizzie]

I have not received the achievements for completing a mission in co-op, winning one team deathmatch game, wing ace pilot and wing leader.

I've checked my pilot records and it shows I have 4/5 deathmatch wins. My Squadron Leader (match leader challenge) is at 2583/4500 in the progress bar. I've completed the first two challenges for that. My Flight Ace Pilot (Team Ace challenge) progress is 1488/2400. I've only completed the first challenge for that, but I'm pretty sure that's over 20 minutes.

[Upeer]

There seems to be a problem with the F-15E loadout. The Long Range Support II package has the multi-target AGM pictured but has the All Aspect missle in the actual package.

I have this problem constantly as well.

[OneTyme360]

Myself and many other people have completed this game on the Elite setting but only got Achievements for Elite and Hard not normal settings.

Also with that being said I am missing 9 Campaign Achievements but again have the two for the higher levels.

[RKlaahsen]

1. Add progress bars to all the TDM awards that require multiple rounds to achieve. Similar to the weapons achievements.

2. Add ground shadows or altitude to the OFF mode to guage your altitude. Flying over water at 1000M or 50M looks the same.

3. Object collision needs improvement. I've flown through buildings and trees in numerous maps in both single and multiplayer.

4. Mach indicator on the HUD. Even passenger plane pilots get this on their FPDs.

5. Allow any player to send invites to join the multiplayer game from the menu interface.

6. Allow users to view server settings.

7. Improve speed control in ON mode. The brake only works for about 5 sec then the engines spool up. Typiclally this only reduces speed 10% below cruise then returns to speed.

Thanks

I found a bug!!

As is mentioned in a few other posts, there are quite a few instances where my friends will gains the "XP" for completting a challenge (such as sitting ducks), but it does not unlock the actual achievement. Right now, he is up to about 8 total that he has the XP for, but the achievement hasn't unlocked.

The only other option that would be nice (as also mentioned earlier) would be the ability to check your pilot record from a public / private match lobby without having to back all the way out.

[Thiago77Br]

I dont know Why the some planes not apear the weapons in the plane or whem shoot, for exemple: mirage 3 and mirage 5, f-111, the weapons not apear and f-22, f-35, su-47, f-117 when i shoot the internal weapons not open, so my question is this a bug?

[TrentKama]

Single Player:
-Using Air-to-ground or Air-to-air ERS navigating causes some nasty screen clipping when there's a lot going on.

Multiplayer:
-Missiles(particularly Multi-AA) disappearing when fired and are removed from the loadout. This also occurs with Radar-Guided and Rockets.
-EMP Strike kills do not count as EMP Strike kills, they count as suicide crashes.
-Sometimes notifications of support do not activate, ex. EMP Strikes occur with no vocal warning.

[f22raptorff]

I'm very happy with the game but...
When I play online. I shoot the guy and the missiles go right up his tail pipe and nothing happens.
When I shoot the other guy with the gun nothing seems to happen (when the circle is red).
During online play when you get shot down. You see the screen where you got shot down for a while. then once the spawn screen comes up and you push a it doesn't do anything.
Last but not least when you are flying around and all of the sudden the guy just dissapears and then all of the sudden spawns on the other side of the map and you can lock onto him but there is no jet and it fly's into the ground sometimes.

[Lynas007]

1. Achievements not unlocking
2. Online unbalanced play
3. Random weapons problems (not firing but amount decreases)
4. Achievements not unlocking
5. Hanging at "Press Start"
6. Online play can be laggy. Need ability to allow locale only players ranked / player
7. Smoother (maybe scaled down) version of challenges from Lobby rather than going back down to main menu.
8. Achievements not unlocking
9. Achievements unlocking but EXP not granted to profile
10. Any patch to be released without delay as I'm starting to get utterly bored of this now and I've only been playing for 5 days.

You need to patch stuff like this REALLY quickly before it drives away everyone back to the major titles, like Call of Duty or even Call of Duty.

[nephilimafi]

Reported Bugs/requests:

1.) Randomize the support calls/perks better, or disable the ability to stop the cycle, so that it is completely random every time. Some people are really good at stopping the cycle of the perks and landing conveniently on Target Jamming/Missile restriction. I just got off of a match two hours ago, where I was stuck in the worse case ever imaginable. I was in a ranked match with a bunch of people who have this down to a science and this is how that single round went:
a.) Opposing team calls missile restriction
b.) target jamming
c.) missile restriction
d.) missile restriction
e.) they make a mistake and call missile upgrade
f.) calls jamming
g.) round ends with restriction

Because of this, the score was 33 to 19. We couldn't do anything but resort to machine guns the entire round. I messaged the lead player of their team, asking what the secret to this was, and he didn't reply. It was evident that they all met up in this ranked match and had this down to a science. That entire round, they only managed to call one thing that was out of the norm and that was on accident.

2.) When playing a deflection role for one entire round and then switching your role to "attack" on the remaining rounds, the system will often calculate your end total correctly on the placing chart but will not award you the deflection points you earned in the first match. The same is true, if you started off with an attack role but then decided to deflect for the rest of the rounds. Before I hit LvL 40, I had lost tens of thousands of points because the system forgets. In short, I'll end a match with 3K but only get awarded 1200XP (for example) for the most recent role I played.

3.) I don't know about anyone else but even after installing the game to the HD it freezes. Unlike most other people here, it freezes on me in the game as well and while loading the next round. Yes, I performed cache clearing and maintenance on the 360.

4.) Target Override Pod still works on your old teammates/ the now "opposing team" when having TOP active while the game auto-balances and places you on the opposing team. There's nothing more confusing than deflecting missiles off of someone who you are able to now shoot with your machine gun at the same time lol However, it is funny at first.

5.) Rear stabilizers don't move when aircraft pitches left or right. This would be an easy fix, considering they already animate when the craft pulls up/down, they just need to add extra information for when the craft is banking/pitching/rolling. For instance, when the aircraft turns right, the left stabilizer should move down and the right one should raise up.

6.) YF-17 skin not showing up after having been awarded it

7.) Why does my plane keep defaulting to the F22 all of a sudden? If I primarily use one plane, it should at least remember it. There are a lot of planes in this game and it's so annoying to be constantly told by the host to hurry and ready up, when my plane is way at the opposite end of what the system defaults my plane to. It use to remember my plane.

8.) What's the point in offering AG missiles, Free Fall Bombs and Cluster Bombs in multiplayer death match? I can understand why in coop but it's useless. You should sub AG's with Multi AA's for planes like the F35 or X-A20. This would make Air to Ground aircraft more useful, unless, you add the ability to do fuel air bombs a la Ace Combat 6.

[FallenAfar]

Bug - TOP

I noticed when using hte TOP if you are locked on to a friendly then you switch sides you will lock on to your previous team with the top and are able to deflect missles and score points etc.

The achievements on the 360 don't work. Beat the game on normal and didn't get most of the missions achievements. ONly unlocked for mission 15,16,17, and beat the game on normal. Also didn't get co-op achievement and played whole campaign on co-op.

A few things regadring the PC Game
1. When I play the game on a non-Admin rights account, when starting the game it automatic download patches and cause problems when it tries to install with non-admin account. Something like a seperate check tool will help and/or switch running the update tool to another user.

2. I have Dual display, on a GeForce 7950 GT, Dual Xeon, the game crash when I try down select a profile. If I set the PC with a single display the game plays. This was not an issue whith the demo.

[csick919]

It doesn't let you select all of the planes that you have unlocked drop bombs for in mission 3, Operation: Cobalt. It seems to only let you select those planes whose default armament contains drop bombs.

I haven't unlocked all the planes and armaments yet, but the ones I have drop bombs for but can't fly are :

A-6A
AV-8B
EA-6B
EF-111A
Eurofighter Typhoon
F-2
MIRAGE 5

I have unlocked the following planes but to not have drop bombs for them yet, but they would fall under the same category as the ones above:
F-15E
F-22

Can anyone who has unlocked all the planes/armaments confirm my suspicions that these 2 planes don't work either?

Are there any other planes that I haven't unlocked yet that have drop bombs that can't be flown in operation cobalt?

[TrentKama]

Online bug/exploit:

Sometimes I find myself being locked onto with Free-Fall Bombs and Cluster Bombs. When they 'hit' you, they do not explode, but flicker and jut around on top of your plane. After a long period of time, they'll detonate and kill you, or they'll kill you instantly when you spawn after being killed by something else.

Hi,

The only problems i have seen so far has been the start up screen freezing many times. The only conclusion was to turn xbox off and on again.
The second i noticed and im not sure if it can be fixed was the wingman actions with my flightstick Saitek aviator. It works during the campaign but not during multiplayer .

[EVIL62007]

I played the game threw on ellite from start to finish. I never got the achivements for leavel 14,15,and 16. every thing is great in the game except that. I have replayed the mission from start to finish and it still doesn't give me the achivements.

I do have ubiisoft complant, very upset there was no Goast Recon or new Rambow6 this year!!! ?
Thank you http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif

Please for the love of god REMOVE, STAT CLEAR, and BAN all player off the HAWX leader's board that boosted their rank. These joker need to go ASAP.Anyone that has under 24 hours of playing time and their scores are in the hundred thousand point range should be taken off and ban for at least 30 days from the game also their account should be sent over to XBox Live membership department for further review under their no cheating policy

I am feed-up with working my butt off to climb the ranks only to see some low life-I-don't-have-time-loser claim the top spot.I know it is just a game however,I want what I work for. If these guys can continue to occupy to the top spot with their false point totals it makes the leaders' board useless thus playing your game useless.I meam why even play online if you are going to allow this type of action to take place. failure would result in people not playing the game online and after beating the story mode trading back in.Cheaters lessen the replay value of your game.

[Corpsebean]

Please fix the achievements not unlocking. I had my "General of the Airforce" achievement not unlock and now it's stuck.

Needless to say I'm pretty ****ed, PLEASE FIX.

[Juwabo]

I'm curious if it's possible to raise the ceiling on the challenges. For example maybe adding platinum or diamond levels instead of capping them at gold. I've played the game quite a bit, unlocked all but a couple challenges yet I'll have to play this game for another lifetime to get to level 40. I know some people take exception to making it easier to level up and I'm glad the game isn't maxed out upon completion of the story, but you need to log a lot of OT to finish it up. Raising the bars on challenges would be fair as it still requires you to put in some time, but making more bonuses for certain milestones could help greatly. As it stands now there is little incentive to keep re-doing the missions for a measly 500 xp when I need a million more.

[Antipothis]

So, this is a very spesific bug, but seeing as it's my favorite plane in the game, I have to mention it.

The F-15 Active acts like it doesn't have thrust vectoring in EXPERT Assistance OFF mode.

This obviously kills the plane for me. :P

Also, the FB-22 doesn't seem to have thrust vectoring at all (it isn't listed in the abilities list), even through it's animated as having thrust vectoring (yet as listed, doesn't actually perform as if it has it).

I haven't unlocked all the planes and armaments yet, but the ones I have drop bombs for but can't fly are :

A-6A
AV-8B
EA-6B
EF-111A
Eurofighter Typhoon
F-2
MIRAGE 5

I have unlocked the following planes but to not have drop bombs for them yet, but they would fall under the same category as the ones above:
F-15E
F-22

Can anyone who has unlocked all the planes/armaments confirm my suspicions that these 2 planes don't work either?

Are there any other planes that I haven't unlocked yet that have drop bombs that can't be flown in operation cobalt?

The Cobalt mission doubles as your bomb certification mission, so like the OFF Certification mission, you have a restricted number of planes you can choose from. Not all the planes that are able to carry/drop free fall bombs can be selected, regardless of their unlock status. It just is that way in the campaign, not a bug or glitch or problem. Hope that helps.

[ethboy]

Keeps freezing in gameplay, when you press the "start" button the screen comes back. Very annoying!! Happens all the time, I have checked my connections & T.V. they are fine, all other xbox 360 games are working without problems.

[dzyeph]

Main things that I've noticed are the 'Press Start' screen freeze, occasional total freezes in TDM gameplay that need me to restart the X360 (no apparant cause but doesn't happen in single player) and various superficial things (thrust vectoring engines, wrong numbers of seats, weapon pylons missing from some planes, some planes pylons loaded with bizarre arrangements of the weapon pack etc). Hoping the first two will be fixed definitely, and it'd be nice if the third was as well.

[msummi12]

My two problems with HAWX:

1) Achievements not unlocking (when I can see via Pilots Records that the requirements have clearly been met)

2) Game freezes very frequently (at least 2-4 times within one or two hours of play)

After speaking with both Ubisoft & XBL support no one seems to want to provide any assistance on the issues, primarily achievements not unlocking. After seeing hundreds of forum posts for both xbox360 & ps3 regarding these same issues on this site and several others it is hard for me to want to continue my progress with this game or purchase any future Ubisoft titles.

[EscoBlades]

Yeah, i finally got hit by the achievement glitch, my General of The Airforce achievement refuses to unlock, which is a shame really.

[kevang039]

The only online problem I have is the server disconnect, if I download the game to the hard drive is there any possibility of it solving the server disconnect?

[killadelphia55]

I just got finished playing a few team death matches where I completed a bunch of challenges only to not get the achievements for them.

Completed AMBUSH challenge-no achievement
UNIMPRESSED - no achievement
POINT BLANK SHOT - no achievement
NOT SAFE ENOUGH - no achievement
I even won three TDM matches and did not receive the achievement for winning 1 TDM.

That's 5 achievements worth 80 points and I'm kinda ****ed off about it.

I know 80 points is not that big a deal but I earned it and I would like to see it in my gamerscore.

My friend I was playing with would be like hey I got the UNIMPRESSED challenge and an achievement, and it ****ed me off because I just got the same challenge but no achievement.

I really hope they remedy the situation or they are going to lose a lot of loyal UBISOFT customers.

[Xeroraith]

To start I love the game, well I did until I started experiencing a lot of annoying bugs. Although it does run great most of the time.

Bugs:
-In TDM, occasionally when I switch weapons to a radar or multi-missile the game will not register it. The highlighted bar moves and the radar circle will pop up, but the missile targeting will not start to lock on. A killer in sim mode when you lose most of your missiles.

-In TDM, occasionally when I try to fire my missiles the indicator in the bottom corner will show that I fired, but there will be no sound and/or contrail.

-In any TDM, I have had glitches with the objectives being achieved. Specifically the match participation, aircraft used and most especially the kill the other team with a emp in 4v4.

-In TDM, my cannon hits have not been registering. Some may think it is a lack of skill, but I'm a lvl 35, I know when I have a target dead to rights in my gun sight, it is just not registering the hits.

-In TDM, for the final summary screen, I think I have seen a favorite weapon displayed once...

-Campaign, while trying to get the ERS ground target objective on the Rio mission, the path routinely ran me into skyscrapers.

-Campaign, seriously the numbers required for the air intercept ERS are absurd, I have been given the option for interception maybe 10 times while beating the campaign 3 times or so.

Suggestions:
-TDM lobby, please shorten search times, but more importantly allow a search filter in the player match lobby to select specific game types IE: simulation or dogfight. I can not stand normal mode, it is an aspect missile flame war.

-Add some more objectives to help gain experience. Requiring people to gain 100k between levels once you head over lvl 30 is absurd. It is rare to find a person who is at that level that has not spammed there rank, it is very evident when a 'five star' is 2-15 etc.

-For server options, please allow aircraft specific matches like "only aircraft from the 1980s or earlier" or "only unstable aircraft."

-For the perk selection there should be a limit to how many jamming/no missile perks are allowed to the winning team. Losing is one thing, but losing and have no missile perks on for the last 2.5 min of a match is another.

-For TDM multi-round matches, please put in a random map function in between each round. Throw some variety in to spice up things a bit.

-It would be nice to be able to check your rank/objective status/other player cards while in a match lobby once you've ready-ed up.

-The option to boot a player while in lobby as the host would be nice.

Thanks. Feel free to contact this profile if you have any other questions or need clarification.

[Zangaman]

I know it's a really weird thing but, when I was playing with my friend, he dropped a free fall bomb that immediatly become a cluster bomb that was following me costantly at 12m. It is actually weird because it doens't kill you untill you slow down and you can actually see that the bomb hits your plane. But that happened lots of time and mi friend was actually getting kills with bombs, as said by the hud (Friend - Bomb Icon - Me). I think you should deactivate AT guns in multiplayer (just versus)

[Robster1981]

I expiriecend this

many times total freezes in TDM gameplay that need me to restart the X360, the screen starts shacking and look like it is still keeps refreshing.
This is very very very annoying and very sad.

Hello everybody!

I am Spanish and I apologize for my bad English.

I am delighted with this game is simply brillianthttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Although you could add more modes of online gaming, as a deathmatch is monotonous and boring.

I can I suggest such a horde mode is 4 human players against waves of aircraft controlled by the CPU, until we kill everyone, like the gears of war 2 but airplaneshttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

It would also be a good example of how to escort a plane to its destination and that the team is trying to destroy, those who hold and buy more time.

Another would be to defend a territory or base (the base could defend and attack) as long as possible

Another way would be to conquer areas / bases, which are changed at random and giving advantages.

Another interesting way, would escort and protect vehicles and / or other equipment navios vs same, and they help win a battle, I mean, imagine that team A has a 70% percentage of live vehicles, equipment remaining B 50% live, then we would be fighting aircraft (human controlled) + land or naval force (controlled by AI) vs controlled by humans) + land or naval force (controlled by AI) Until the percentage of the team arrived at 0% then lost.



Hola a todos!!

Soy español y pido disculpas por mi mal ingles.

Estoy encantado con este juego, es simplemente genial http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Aunque podríais añadir más modos de juegos online, ya que un deathmatch se hace monótono y aburrido.

Yo os puedo sugerir por ejemplo un modo horda,es decir 4 jugadores humano contra oleadas de aviones controlados por la cpu, hasta que nos mataran a todos, parecido a lo gears of war 2 pero en aviones http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

También estaría bien un modo por ejemplo de escoltar un avión hasta su destino y que el equipo contrario intentara destruirlo, y ganaría aquel que aguantara mas tiempo.

Otro sería defender un territorio o una base (la base podría defenderse y atacar) el máximo tiempo posible

Otro modo seria conquistar zonas/bases, que se cambiarían al azar, y que dieran ventajas.

Otro modo interesante, seria escoltar y proteger vehiculos terrestres y/o navios vs otro equipo igual, y que estos ayudaran a ganar una batalla,me explico, imaginad que el equipo A tiene un porcentaje de 70% vehiculos vivos, el equipo B le quedan el 50% vivos, entonces estariamos luchando aviones (controlado por humanos)+fuerza terrestre o naval(controlado por la IA) vs controlado por humanos)+fuerza terrestre o naval(controlado por la IA)Hasta que el porcentaje del equipo contrario llegara al 0% entonces perderían.

Espero que tengáis en cuenta todos estos comentarios, ya que ayudaría a mejorar mas el modo de juego

[mib456]

As noted, a big problem is achievements. I cannot unlock the co-op though I have played almost exclusively with others in the campaign mode; I don't know how much more I have to fly full throttle to unlock the mach 2 achievement, and the games does occaisionally freeze when trying to start a match.

The patch they released is not the bug fixing patch. It is just a patch that enables the planes from the DLC. We are still waiting on the bug fixes.

HAWX Rules! Bring on Ghost Recon 4!

[ColinJetset]

As this is the 'official' Xbox feedback page, I'd like to add my suggestions as recently added in the 'HAWX: What do you rate it' thread, in the vain hope that the developers might actually read and implement them.

HAWX has the POTENTIAL to become very good indeed, but I can only currently give it a 3 out of 10 because it is severely let down by :-

1) ABSOLUTELTY CRITICAL - the lack of HUD view in assistance off mode (ideally also with cockpit view including wings and which MUST have a full HUD with pitch ladder and altitude/speed).

2) New DLC OFFLINE mission content at low cost. The original game took far too short a time to complete.

3) To stop the many people whining about All Aspect missiles, Ubisoft should change them to only lock on a target that was being 'looked at' via top-hat or stick look functions. That would bring them bang up to date with the new look and shoot helmet mounted targetting on the newest real jets.

4) From reading other threads, there should be no capability to 'boot' someone from an online match. If you've set up a game to allow any missile etc. then you've made your choice and have to live with it. Also, booting someone because they're wiping you out is completely unacceptable. Equally, the online match setup needs more options as to what is allowed and what is not. That might prevent some 'booting'.

5) CRITICAL - Dead zone, and sensitivity (or ideally adjustable exponential) needs addding to pitch and roll analogue controls.

I've finished everything I can offline, so don't play HAWX any more, and am waiting (almost certainly in vain) for the above points to be implemented.

With the above few changes (which would be absolutely trivial for Ubisoft to implement as a patch), it could leap to 8 or 9 out of 10!!!!!

Colin.

[MaverickMike06]

In TDM I am continually locked up and dead within 2 seconds of spawning. Call it lag, glitch, bull****, or whatever -- its freak'n annoying. It is completely uncalled for to spawn and die instantly.

On other issues, the screen freezes suck. The cloning of the different models (F-15E, Su-27 series).

The afterburners need work.

[MrRyE]

Just a little typo/bug to report on Hawx for the Xbox 360.

On the T.D.M Basic challenges page, TB17 - Avoidance Ace. The Veteran rating it says 'Evade a total of 300 missiles...', Whereas the counter bar at the bottom clearly counts up to /450. It is quiet obvious when you see it. I'm not sure which is incorrect, but I though I should inform you guys.

Other than that, and the fact some people seem to have the ability to zig-zag forward in some sort of buggy glitchy fashion and just totally evade missile locks, an awesome game!!!! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/25.gif

[Rafdy]

There are a number of bugs since the latest release that were present before but have been made considerably worse (to the extent that I cannot play for more than 30mins without getting extremely annoyed).

1. Previous while firing the rocket pod often the remaining ammo goes down, but nothing happens as far as seeing them fired etc, this has now escalated to all weapons

2. when following opponents with guided missles for example, there is no effect when the missle makes contact with the opposing plane

3. I've noticed an incrasing amount of planes that will suddenly disappear and re-appear at completely different points in the map which would suggest problems with there connections, but this is increasingly the case (I live a matter of 100 yards from my switch and have a 20mb fibre optic connection so it's not a lag issue on my side, friends in other parts of the country have noticed this too).

Please consider reviewing these and introducing more multi player modes to make the game a bit longer lasting, I have a handful of challenges left and now that the game play has been so badley effected I have no reason to play it which is very unfortunate as I loved the original gameplay before this 'fix' was rolled out.

I believe that the reason there is no hud in the cockpit when in cockpit view is because its supposed to all be integrated into the helmet. No longer would you need the traditional hud because it would all be integrated into the helmet. This also simplifies the hud and keeps your view from becoming cluttered with you trying to look at mulitiple things at once. You still get the attitude ladder by using the one in the cockpit instruments. It is supposed to be a simplified warfighter interface just like the one the Ghosts use in GRAW.

What you suggest would be even better, because you lose the HUD view if you look around you, so it's certainly not helmet projected. I have to say I haven't used Cockpit View much because almost none of the instruments work. Some aircraft just have an AH and rate of sink indicator, some combine an AH and pitch ladder. Also, even running at 2560x1600 on a 30" monitor on the PC version, the instruments can be a little hard to read quickly. On the 65" plasma connected to the Xbox360 at 1920x1080 (1:1 pixel mapping), from a distance of 4 metres, they're even less readable.

To me there's just not enough info in Cockpit mode if for example you want to pull a quick 3/4 loop, 'skewing' of the top and and attack ground target from the side having taken out some targets on the first pass.

But I'd agree with you and add to my list:-

6) HUD view to be 'helmet mounted', and not disappear if you look around.

Whilst still wanting an AH/pich ladder in HUD view.

I've no hope of seeing any of these items being implemented though (haven't even got the patch for the 360 yet), but I guess we can live in hope.

But the hud is helmet projected in this game. When you are in cockpit view and are using JSM you can lock on to people out of view of you by turning your head and the hud will then target that target. I do it all the time. Also, even if you look at the cover of the game box it shows the targeting hud in the visor of the pilot on the cover. This game takes place in the future and helmet mounted hud displays is the way of the future.

Agreed, but you lose the pitch ladder as that is only visible if you are looking directly ahead. This is true for me on both the PC and the 360. Am I missing something, or, as I suspect, we are just talking about different things?

EDIT: Just noticed your call sign. Interesting as mine is Demon (if I ever play online)!!! (Would have been Eagle as I fly a F15 R/C Jet, but everyone will have that one)

No, Can't have been me as I've never played online because of my point 1). I've been told that you can have an effective online game with forced Assistance ON mode and limited to JS and cannon, so may set up a session sometime with those parameters and give it a go to see it it's at all playable in this most realistic mode.

Colin

Yeah, I have played in servers that have those settings. Forced Assistance On, Cockpit view only, JS only, no support, and cannons. Its fun to play that way sometimes because it does make it much more of a challenge and much more realistic. You mostly have to get gun kills and save your missle for when your target is already peppered a bit from the cannon.

[compking]

Well having gone through the points raised by everyone i cant find anything else to add but to confirm the bugs....
1. Not unlocking acheivments a real p<>@_+er i have two campaigns not unlocked

2 Freezing in the sart to get to choose save hdd. but this hasnt happend since i loaded it to the hdd.

3. i like the assistance off or on mode i use both if you dont like one or the other dont use it. its a choice thing.....

4. I see very little on any threads from ubisoft on the points we are all raising. A line or two that we are on the job and are sorting them... yes we all know it takes time and you do not want to commit to a date and time for patches cause you look daft when its months and months after. but a little more interaction and not just thanks for all the feedback..

All said and done i do like the game very much but give us more information on whats going on not just us ramberling on.....
cheers

I would like to see the 1.02 patch actually available for the Xbox360, and to include deadzone adjustment and control sensitivity which I read somewhere that it doesn't!

From some voltage readings on a one-off adapter I've made, the deadzone on the Pitch axis is a very large + and - 9% !! , though I have changed that in my firmware.

Then it would be REALLY nice if they actually addressed some of the other issues people have raised (myself included).

[Spooky101_974]

Great Game Overall but I do have some pet peeves
-bad need of tail numbers or Sqaud colors a plane with a blank canvas is a problem get some squad numbers on the canvas and some USAF logos

1.I had a question about manueverability. Is HAWX plane manueverability on the XBOX 360 different to the other platforms?
As I have seen a number of videos displaying people pulling off crazy stunts in assistance off mode, yet when I do the same thing my planes dont seem to flip as fast.

2.Another thing is that when I use the EMP strike and all four players crash into the ground on the opposing team, it doesn't unlock the 4000xp challenge. wtf

Challenge doesn't unlock unless all opposing players are "Killed by EMP strike". It will count as a player crash if the opponent is able to gain partial control of the plane before they hit the ground, thus denying you the challenge.

The thing is that I waited until they all respawned at the same time due to someone else using an emp strike. If my memory serves me correctly... upon respawn you are never able to pull out of the emp.


Another thing: My favourite weapon used during the game never gets displayed and I want to complete the All Aspect missile challenge so as not to have to use them much anymore and sure as hell I've played more than ten games only using those missiles. (I'm probably the guy everyone has been complaining about spamming with the missiles. LOL!!)

Above a certain height, any opposing player that attempts to take control of their plane (regardless of the effect of the EMP strike) will be shown to have "CRASHED" as opposed to have being "KILLED BY EMP STRIKE" You just need to get lucky really.

achievements not unlocking in single player no matter what level of difficulty or how many times you play the level should be fixed. ive played certain levels and tried different acheivements but they just dont unlock.....

Sorry if this was already posted...Seems like firing Multi AA missiles sometimes doesn't work. I can see the number of missiles going down, but there not actually firing. This seems to happen a lot more with the F15A for some reasons.

Had you played any co-op before you tried this?

1. When an entire team leaves a match, the match should end, not leave everyone else to fly for the rest of the rounds.
2. Only 1 mode of multiplayer. Add something like a defending a base or something.
3. Disconnects from live matches, which I think is due to hosts leaving.
4. Would like more challenges if possible. Maybe make campaign challenges possible to get multiple times or at a reduced xp amount.
5. As was said before, allow for multiple campaign play throughs instead of individual missions.

For some reason, the unlock codes aren't working for me...

I type them in the hanger screen, when I select to carry out a mission (the one after the difficulty selection screen). I've tried doing it slowly or quickly but nothing happens.

It says to hold LT and I do that and type them in...

Could someone help please.
