Widescreen Grade: A
Multi-monitor Grade: A

Read Full Detailed Report - Tom Clancy's HAWX 2

The game is similar to the previous one, it is packed with accurate satellite-generated maps, DX11, native support for TripleHead and it will also feature a four player co-op through the game as well as a "full adversarial multiplayer" with up to eight players. The player can also go head-to-head in close-range dogfights and use air-to-air refueling in the middle of missions.

For some reason it would not list 5040x1050 as an option for me, yet there was 5092x900 and 6112x1080(which is my bezel corrected res).
Thanks for confirming that it does support that resolution. :) Forgot about your hoard of pics :)

Nice job Delphium. If you're enjoying the game then you must try HAWX 1. It's just better in every respect. :)

Outstanding DR omissions: is 1920x1200 supported ?
MP is supposed to be problem-free thanks to native support, but confirmation wouldn't hurt as well.

Potential grade: Certified.

I have HAWX1, I completed it maybe no more than a month ago, I did pick it up quite late, as soon as I had completed it twice over I was then ready for some more, ala HAWX2 :D

I am unable to test 1920x1200 due to the limitations of my monitors (1920x1080) sadly.
Also I have yet to play HAWX2 multiplayer, likewise I am to understand that due to native support, it would function exactly like single player.
Ill try join/host a MP round and see what the score is for confirmation.

Oh, I see. I've just finished HAWX2's campaign myself and it has so many shortcomings that I just *had* to reinstall HAWX1. 8)

Just to be clear, "DR omissions" are not a list of things we blame you for not testing ! ;) It's just the info that's currently missing for full coverage and proper grading/certification. Anybody can chime in to confirm one of the missing items at any time, so a DR doesn't have to be 100% complete to be posted, that's not a problem at all. We just have to pinpoint what's missing.

I've done quite a lot of "solo LAN" playing at 5040x1050 to gain XP, so I'm pretty sure MP support is ok anyway.
