Warhawk - updated hands-on

We get out of the planes and into the tanks for a little multiplayer chaos

At this point, enough of our comrades had died that there were a few jets available, so we took one for a spin. These still use the tilt controls, which proved extremely useful for juking crazily once our opponents started shooting at us. Connecting with our machineguns was a little difficult, but we didn't need them, as it was much easier to just lock on and let fly with a few cluster missiles.

After noodling around a bit with barrel rolls and nosedives, we reached the enemy base and tried to land by switching to hover mode and taking the jet down slowly. This was pretty easy, so we hopped out and blew up a few unmanned planes. These just reappeared moments later, though, so we went down to the garage and hopped into an enemy tank.

After motoring around the countryside a little, we were attacked by an enemy player on foot. He tossed a couple of grenades our way, and we opened up with the tank's cannon, knocking him into the air and practically shattering our eardrums with the force of the blast. That felt pretty good, so we tried to take down a few jets, which only worked when they were dumb enough to actually hover low and try to shoot us with their machineguns. That happened twice, by the way.
