As an official member of the Intardnet whine society, I have reviewed your posts and found the two passages above which qualify the posts as whines.  Unfortunately, the posts lacked CAPS LOCK, incoherent ranting, and threats of quitting, so although they were whines, they scored low on the RAM scale.

I think you meant permeated.

I agree with the others who said that the base capture stuff needs to be tested also.

One thing that Hajo's observation has confirmed is that the AH2 gameplay is going to be the same old, same old. One consolation is that some of the old gamey tricks are not going to work.

Beetle edited my post , permeated was what i was looking for.

Also stated that taking bases was no problem with me.  Read the

Posts.  Just asking that some bases being used are let alone so

that others can experience nuances to AH2 in air to air combat.

Lots of bases to be taken......90% of them undefended and a great location to practice base capturing.  Take all the home Islands....don't think many will care.

 Corky, you couldn't imagine just how much.  I hit cancel when the download was at 50something MB.  Saved me from wasting a perfectly good CD blank!

I'm reasonably certain that once the Beta goes live, it will be absolutely, completely permeated by the MA mentality. Since it will be the MA and all.

Ya never know, though. Ole HT is a clever guy with clever accomplices. After the graphics and FM overhauls, gameplay might be next on the list.

I agree with Hajo on this one.

I've betatested the whole capture thing too, I even called on all channel and got people to switch side to help me, and we did NOT capture a base important to the fight. Betatest away folks! But it is possible to be smart about it.

What I've seen in the beta arena is "betatesting" of the whole gang and capture routine we've gotten so used to in the MA. Guess what? it still works.

My only problem with getting kicked off the main island today is that the town was up when it happened--but that's what the beta's for.

Today a certain group of lemmings *cough* 9typh *cough* after knocking out dar for rooks and empty knights, then proceeded to milk the empty knight country. Seriously there is no score as its beta. 2) only 8 guys in there so noone sees their UBAH lemming skills. 3 I mean the AI in Airfix Dogfighter must be too hard on them if they have to milk an empty country with no possibilty of opposition.

What's wrong with testing if hitting HQ works, or testing bombing?  As for the MA 'invading' the Beta Arena, well excuse me!  In just a few days, I suspect, the current Beta Arena will be the MA!  :p

I know this goes against the grain of the thread,  But has any one reset this arena yet?   Perhaps that needs doing as well?

Right now,  it seems HTC is also encouraging everyone to try the Beta so they can see how it runs on lots of different machines, also to aid the transition.  

To me this means we need some large furballs as well to see how it affects things.    

Iv only had a few sorties in the Beta arena,  but it all looks good to me.
