What we mean by the subject line is that the Warhawk rumors are being shot down, no pun intended. Not necessarily shot down as being untrue, but shot down as in... bam! Online multiplayer only, with 32 people. IGN posted a really large preview of the title, citing the positives and the negatives. We'll briefly go over these and let you check out the full story if you're really into this upcoming title.

What's good? Lots of weapons, different vehicle types, and greatly improved/sensitive SIXAXIS controls. The fighting is pretty fast-paced, or as they put it, "Battlefield 1942 with the art style of Timesplitters". That's cool. IGN got to control three vehicles in the build they received: the jeep, the tank and, of course, the Warhawk. All of which have many customization options. You can probably figure out how each one handled -- the jeep is nimble but gets destroyed easily. The tank is huge and slow, but pretty tough to stop. The Warhawk is somewhere in between, with crazy sensitive controls to get used to and decent firepower. Oh, you can also swap between ground, air, and foot combat at the touch of a button. Not sure how that's really going to work in a heated battle.

What's bad? We don't know if the game's download-only, store-bought, or some combination of both. The single-player mode is gone... while sad, not altogether disappointing. It received only lukewarm reception, but there was a lot of work put into it. In a way, then, it's good they scrapped it so they can focus on what's really going to be great.
