 Warhawk was met with a generally positive reception by reviewers . However , for a few months after its initial launch it was plagued by connection and server issues , including ranking issues with players , which were subsequently corrected in updates . The player is able to rank @-@ up though 20 ranks ranging from Recruit to General , unlocking new personnel and aircraft customization options at each rank . A spiritual successor , Starhawk , was released in May 2012 .
