Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and third-person vehicle combat game in the Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X series.

While the game was patched to no longer need a constant Internet connection[1], there have been widespread reports of users not being able to play due to connections bouncing since the official online services were discontinued on November 11, 2017.[2]
