Maybe I will just rent it first.
Actually the game looks pretty damn nice when you're flying around. But who gives a shit, really. The visuals get the job done. The important part, the GAME PLAY, is good, but not great. Warhawk makes for a nice multiplayer online game, but you can definitely do better. I think more people would be singing its praises if it were cheaper-- $40 is a little too steep.
I do have to say that after the update and the new map pack, the game feels improved. And I found no shortages of games went I online a few minutes ago. Had to cut out though, 'cuz unlike Halo 3, you can only play 1P online per system, and my buddy is waiting to play some games too.
Same with UT3. :'(
