Superb! I don't suppose they gave specific contact details for NVidia? I wanted to play the game today, but now I think I will return my card under DSR terms.
Edit: Just tried exactly the same code for the tenth time and it worked! I guess Ubi had a problem.

Arrggghhhh! Now that I finally managed to download and install the game, it is asking me for the product key that came with the game before I can play. It seems the product key and the voucher code are two seperate items, and you DO NOT GET a product key with the NVidia voucher.
Any ideas how to get around this Ubisoft/NVidia farce? Anyone got it working yet via the free NVidia Voucher code?

There is no scratch panel, just an 8 character voucher code which allows download, but not activation due to missing product key.

love the user name that's spot on Ubi are a bunch of wa49kers that can't release a game with out issues.
2 hours and 27mins after I submitted the voucher code and downloaded the game, Ubisoft sent an email with the product code. There was no information give upon order that this would be sent via email, or that it would be required at initial startup, but I finally have it and game is now working.
Ubisoft is still pants.

I am downloading the game now, at at only 29% downloaded I already have my product key sitting in my emails waiting to go. I am actually looking forward to playing this.

Anyone know the network ports needed to play this? Basically I have downloaded the game but due to needing a constant connection with Ubisoft I cant play it. My Uni network team needs to know what ports to unblock but I cant find anything about it anywhere on Ubis site or 3rd party sites. I am not a happy bunny right now.

Be interested to know how well the landing and taking off is done. carrier landings?
Graphics are a little bit better than the original. The biggest improvement seems to be mountain range and cloud ciover detail, although I am only a few levels through the game. There are also a lot more enemies on screen, and even my GTX480 slows down with DX11 enabled @ 1920x1200.
Teke off and landing is pretty basic and very simple (perhaps too simple). Press the ignition button, pull the throttle trigger ad once you hit the required speed, take off. Landing required slowing down, levelling off, dropping the landing gear and touchdown. I did both easily on the first go. In flight refueling is a little more tricky to get the hang of.
So far, only a slight improvement over HAWX #1. Not bad for free, but not worth £30. The NVidia voucher codes go for £10-£15 and that is probably about right.

I goto www.geforce.com/freehawx2 as instructed. Then I select United Kingdom. I'm then taken to http://uk.nzone.com/object/nzone_hawx2_bundle_uk.html . Then I clcik the link as per instructions and am taken to http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubie...AWX2_PCDownload.html
This is where the problem starts. I click on either download link or add to cart, and the browser goes into an infinite clicking loop alternating between en_IE and de_AT . This also happens if I click on cart or any other link on that page. So, as you see, my problem seems to be different to others as I cannot even access the page to enter my code.

If you liked HAWX a lot then this will take some getting used to
the general feel of it isn't as nice, it's not as plug 'n' play as HAWX
I was also hoping they'd keep supporting the controller which you could get bundled with the game but it isn't as well implemented as the previous game.
I can't see this being a game one would play for hours on end, more something which you play when you haven't got anything better to do.
Update: this game isn't worth the £16.08 I paid for it, it needs you to be using a gamepad and a Joystick at the same time, the time you're given to do timed tasks is no where near enough and it's not sure whether it's a PC game or a console game seeing as a practically everything is dumbed down except the tasks which need you to be extremely accurate and take a lot of time.
Also doing the AC130 mission, this is one game where aim assist is needed

I absolutly agree.
I've just been playing it and im hugely dissapointed.
The feel of the aircraft is very different, and the overall gameplay is 5 times slower than the previous game.
You can take an enemy plane down with the gun if you shoot within a 1 mile radius of it.
The take off and landing is boring and so unrealisitic that it is actually no fun what so ever.
The new and improved explosions etc actually look worse imo. Planes get shot then blow up and disapear completly...
On the video's before the missions where it shows planes taxiing and getting ready to take off, the plane is moving but the wheels are not.
Do not buy this game. Everything is half arsed.
edit: Slightly exaggerated^ but the game sucks compared to the first one.
