HAWX 3? | Forums

[Ant Kalgin]

I agree that HAWX3 better stay in near future. It's connected to Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon very closely, after all.

As for the storyline, I can offer something like this:
Some years after HAWX2 US, Russia and EU are all in one big conflict beacuse of three-sided millitary conflict in some small coutry (McGuffinania, ha). Each side supported a differen party then conlict escalated and the big players got themselves into war.
You play as mercenary pilot (or member of McGuffinanian Air Force) who just happened to be in the middle of the conflict and must choose sides.
You side with one of the parties and fly some missions for them, then you (and your wingmen) notice that whenever one of the parties manages to get some advantage, something happens and the balance of power is restored and no side can win.
Then some time later Agent Drachev (Wolfhound), (alternatively - Sam Fisher) contacts you and reveals that the real cause behind this conflict are the bad guys who were manipulating General Morgunov and others into starting the conflict some years ago. (Probably, "Maggito", who were mentioned in SC: Conviction, and hinted at in HAWX2)
They are using the conflict for the distraction and while world's attention is brought to war, that can grow into WWIII, they're quietly taking control of all world's major finansical currents. Then they plan to reveal themselves as "peacemakers", who'll "resolve" the conflict, and gain not only financial, but also political support and becoming one of the most influental group in the world. (Taking over is a cliche, but getting as much power as possible is more likely and down-to-earth scenario).
So for next missions you take out the conspiracy's agents within all of three parties' forces. After that you (and mabye some allies from all three armies) go around the world and take out the conspiracy's members, who've been identified by Drachev.
Something like that. (I know, it's a bit Ace Combat-ish, but AC never failed us with stroy before).
Or to go into complete (and crazy) Sci-Fi and make the antagonists a group of powerful individuals, who believes, that humans can never understand each other, because they have two sexes and plan to create a mutagen the turn all humankind into hermaphrodites, while using the constant small conflicts around the world to divert attention form themselves.
You play as member of quick responce peacekeeping air force who is thrown in coflict after conflict, then somehow become aware of conspiracy's evil plan and then you're trying to foil it.
(Plain crazy, I know. Don't take this seriously. It's just came up, when I remembere the idea of "sharks with lasers on their heads", that was a joke wish fo HAWX2).

I don't think there will be a Hawx 3.

I think a cool idea that was said in an earlier post could be expanded like this:

Germany actually did create a supersoldier, you start flying for Germany in WWII and then defect to the USA and fly for them in the Pacific WWII. (just to avoid internal conflicts)

you see, this is where I think all these clichés start, at first it's interesting and something different but just because it may cause some controversy, everyone cowards out and thus we all get the same story over and over again. the new MoH game just shows how to be different even though the game-play is just another "clone" rip-off.
Well needless to say that WW2 and anything to do with the cold war/Russians is just a massive cliché (great, even clichés are becoming clichés because of this)

Then this supersoldier continues to fly for the good old USA into Korea and Vietnam. With the era appropriate jets.

Because this supersoldier has an unusually long life span and great conditioning he continues to fly well into Gulf War and OEF/OIF wars. With our modern jets ala HAWX 1/2. Even maybe well past our modern timeline and into space warfare with combat space ships verses some unknown alien race we discover after 2012.

I think this would be cool game like you all have said and his identity would have been and is Top Secret. So it would be you playing him. Well thats all.

the only problem is that will anybody care about this "supersoldier"? without an identity the pilot might as well be Jack Sparrow and then we get no story other than the fact we are learning about history (Oh Yay![!])
anyway chauvinism is not a creative idea but more of a lazy one which will only ,mainly appeal to stereotypical U.S citizens (seeing as we are referring to the U.S)
even so there are limitations in terms of development time and development resources at hand, even if there were 25 levels on single player each time period will be short and also there will be limitations by the amount of aircrafts available unless of course you want to break immersion.

focusing on one story/direction is less likely to cause some problems,H.A.W.X should stay in this "near-future" aspect as it allows to combine fantasy with realism in story/tech terms. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

First of all this was just a quick idea not a complete storyline with the supersoldier's backround and intricate story. Or to get ya involved with and care for him or her, by the way gender really does not matter. The developers of the game would write the story not me. LOL

It was intended to put together an outline for a game were you could FLY all the different generations of aircraft in one game not three or four different ones. Anyway as far as the "stereotypical US citizens" comment goes I have no reply to that because it is demeaning in its own right and you can be the author of it.

As far as amount of time alloted for time and aircraft there would be plenty enuff for each. Say like 5 levels per time period:

1: 2 for German and 3 for Pacific, German planes Me109, FW190, and proto Me262. US planes would be late 44-45 like F4U corsair, P51, and F-80.
2: 2 for Korea and 3 for Vietnam, Korea conflict planes would be F-82(twin mustang), F-86, F-100, MiG-15, Yak-9, and Il-10. Vietnam planes would be like A-4, F-104, F-4, A-7, F-111, SR-71, F-5 1 and 2, A-6, MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21.
3: 2 for Gulf War and 3 for OEF/OIF(incidentally OEF/OIF is Today or current...HAWX 1-2), A-10, EA-6B, F-16, F-15, F-117, AV-8B, F/A-18, F-22, F-35, F-14, CV-22, AC-130, B-1, B-2, UCAVS(3), Su-24 thru Su-47(8 versions altogether), MiG-29/33/25/31/35, and PaK-Fa.
4: 2 for near future and 3 for space fighting! LOL I really don't know let your imagination take over here.

Thats 20 missions and around 60 aircraft with some versions of the same aircraft not including AI enemy aircraft. UBI has about all of these aircrat models already i.e. Balzing Angles and HAWX. I guess they would have to work on Korea and some early Russian aircraft. I did not include near future or space stuff cus I don't know.

Anyway thats the specifics you seem not to be able to fill in yourself. No identity meant the character becomes you, (maybe get to chose male or female in beginning) like I said I'm not writing it. Lets just not bash ideas come up with something better! Later J.

I wanna see Night Vision!

[tano1000]

i want hawx3d

[gopies007]

Maybe hawx could connect to endwar and you get to choose either:
A: Russians
B: Euros
C: Yanks
It would be a good combination.
And maybe New zealand lol

[Grasshopper1954]

HAWX 3 will be on consoles before Hawx 2 is on PC.

[Xtreme_Samurai]

i think, the ultimate game to please all, will have hawx3 and the new ghost recon game be able to have a co-op mission setting, so people playing gr can be assisted from real people and not ai pilots...anyone in?

[Anti_Covenent]

TBH, the thing I want to see most is a main character who is more then just a face. I want to be able to connect with them. And for goodness sakes have an actual story behind it other then "These are the bad guys, all you have to do is shoot them down."
