the second mission is plain stupid. Shoot mines so that the doofus ships don’t run into them? Just stop them DOH! singleplayer vote to skip that mission… and what’s this stuff about no joystick compatibility? How incredibly stupid of these developers to publish a flying game with out complete joystick compatibility!!!!!!!!

HoE (Heroes Over Europe) is indeed a sequel to HotP (Herpes of the ….

Wait, where’s that rubber chicken.

It really is the sequel though :)

Sorry about the ‘anonymous coward’ thing by the way, it seems to do that automatically when quoting an unregistered user via the forum.

I suspect this may have been an intentio-typo, but choose to assume instead that it was a freudian slip!

is it a sequel to herpes of the pacific? heroes of the pacific was an AWESOME game that I played a couple of years back and never actually finished (got to a very hard mission and eventually bailed). it’s a great time now w/ batman, majesty 2 and now this coming out

I like Battlestations Pacific, but compared to HoE it does a poor job of fun arcade dogfighting, IMO.

Actually you can. I too was a bit confused initially, because these settings are inaccessible from the game itself. However, if you look closely, you will find a shortcut to called “Graphics Settings” in your start menu. There you can change the resolution and a few other things. I played at 2560×1600 on full screen.

This game is terrible, you can’t even change the resolution and it looks like trash running in lo res on a 24″ monitor. H.A.W.X. at least went up to 1920×1200 and used the hardware.

I picked this up myself on PC and I love it.
It is fun without being too hard, and I have no issue with not being able to save during missions because the missions aren’t overly long anyway. Haven’t had any crashes or other problems either.

Money well spent IMHO.

Well, as others have mentioned, there’s Tom Clancy’s HAWX, which is basically Ace Combat but not as good, and more serious. While the Ace Combat games always did take themselves seriously in terms of plot, the gameplay escalated into deathstar trench runs, battling superweapons and fighting gigantic aerial battleships. HAWX has nothing you’d not find in your average Clancy story.

Alternatively, there’s Battlestations Pacific, which is more focused on the naval combat than anything (it’s an action/RTS hybrid), but there’s plenty of arcadey flying and shooting if that’s your thing.

HAWX can be fun online, although its not really balanced. I still think the games shines best with a couple of bears and some friends in COOP! Especially versus.
