I registered here because I've become so totally and utterly disappointed by Hawx. I picked up the game on launch day, played through the campaign and loved it. I then tried to go online, and that's where my problems began. I simply cannot hold on to a game. I get booted from EVERY SINGLE GAME I attempt to play. Ive tried joining ranked matches, player matches, co-op, nothing works. And I'm not the only one, loads of people on other forums are complaining about the same issue.
I live in the UK, so I don;t know if it's a region-specific issue, but Ive now tried this game on internet connections at 2 different addresses 50 miles apart, and I have absolutely no issues playing anything else. I can play COD or Halo 3 absolutely fine, but this game just simply won't work.
PLEASE Ubisoft fix this! I absolutely adore this game, I finished it on Elite mode while I waited for the online to be fixed, but it's now been over a week and you still can't access the online component of the game, and it's really annoying!!!

I live SE of england and had a few disconnects at the start of MP games.But have had 10ish straight MP games without hassle.Infact lastnight I just had a little go at 11.30pm with 4v4 and before I knew it ,it was 2am and I had 5 hours before getting up for the rat race.
The game is on my most played list,just for sheer entertainment after a hard days work.
And the Hawx MP XB community is mature from what I've encountered.
I'm with O2.Greatest move I ever made.

I live in Sydney, Australia and have the exact same problem...get disconencted from online multiplay.
I've returned the game and will consider buying it again when/if the problem is fixed.

I have had this game since launch day and have been playing TDM online pretty regularly in the past week. I haven't had but one dissconnect during a match

I live in London, and bar the occasional crash before i even press start to fire up the game menu, i have not experienced any problems, certainly not with the multiplayer.
I'd suggest going into Versus, selecting XBox Live, then Ranked Match, then Custom Match, and finally scrolling down and selecting Regular Match (or whatever takes your fancy.) Chances are you'll end up in a more stable game, where the host is less likely to leave, thus booting you from the server.
And as a general rule of thumb, could people try and use their connections for one thing at a time (either play games, OR download torrents, music, etc, not attempt to do both at the same time.) Its common sense, and unless you have a pristine 50Mb connection, it makes a marked difference.
Hope i've been able to help.
