Posts: 24 | OMG! Tom Clancy's Firehawk If you pick up the November issue of OXM, they have a awesome screenshot of an aerial combat game. The action looks like straight out of TOP GUN and AFTERBURNER, rather than the sim-like ACE COMBAT6. It even has a similar interface to the great GRAW series! 2008 release!

Posts: 24 | No, it's called Firehawk. It's an aerial combat game, not a real-time strategy game.

Posts: 24 | Sorry, I just Googled it, and Ubisoft is still secretive about it at this point. I didn't notice your location before.

Posts: 24 | It's a brand new IP. But, It does have a very similar looking HUD as used in GRAW. Remember when targeting in GRAW and the enemies were red diamonds? Same thing here. But, it looks like much more fun dogfighting than the very slow sim of Ace Combat 6.

Posts: 24 | 2008 for sure. The actual game is set in the year 2012, with 60 realistically modeled aircraft. Multiplayer is probaly a given.

Posts: 1,855 | I think it will be Vegas part 2, although who knows. They could even continue the story accross the nevada desert for all I care so long as I get to shoot some faces.

Posts: 670 | Check out what you get when you type the word firehawk in wikipedia which admittedly is dead wrong at times.
"Tom Clancy's EndWar, formerly "Tom Clancy's Firehawk", an upcoming video game from the Tom Clancy franchise of games" Firehawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The if you type in the whole name you get this: Tom Clancy& - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is strange, I wish I knew the truth about what this game is.
