"I say if you DONT like it........squelch channel1!!!!!!!!!"


 Yeah.  And if people don't like someone smoking near them then they should stop breathing.

 Kudos to HiTech.  Although I still think a PERMANENT squelch feature would be better.  Till then shutting down channel 1 would be perhaps the best improvement to the game in a long time and ironically one that took the least effort and expense.

 AH-II is looking better and better.

In lieu of the much requested permanent squelch list that I and many others have requested for 3+ years. I would have to agree that if channel 1 stays shut down it is the finest thing I have seen HTC do for this game in recent memory. Channel 1 in the MA is a cancer 99% of the time.

Nice move hitech...

Let me see if I can make a point on this without westy coming back with some outlandish take on it.

Some people like to use channel 1 for reasons OTHER than trash talking.

Some people do not, and think it should be disabled.

When it is turned on by the admin, the people who do not like it have the simple option of turning it off. Then they can have what they want.

When it is turned off, the people who DO like it do NOT have the option to turn it on. Therefore they can NOT have what they want.

It seems very simple to me.

Hitech has an opportunity now to make every single person in the game happy.

Leave it to where a player can keep it turned off if they choose, or a player can turn it on if they choose.

This way, everyone can have what makes them happy.

I do not bash or want to change the minds of people who want it turned off. That is their opinion, however many in the game want the option. Please keep it an OPTION of whether to partake in channel one if you want or not to if you dont.

Thanks, FBRaptor

I believe that no game has ever handled the "on ground" stuff better than Air Warrior did.  Was great for events, squad nights, hell any thing that required organization with others.  They had a great interface and I have not seen anyone else come close since.

If he would increase the size of the our squelch list channel 1 most likely wouldn't need to be closed.

In beta I enjoy Channel one. The signal to noise ratio is alot better.  The regulars are changin sides for the fight, salutes and laughs back an forth.

In the main it wouldn't bother me a bit. In beta I enjoy it for the above reasons.

WOW No more Ch1!

I noticed it last night while doing some of my own testing on line. I thought my system was bugged or something lol!

Someone must have really ticked Dale off to make him do this. Its too bad really, I enjoyed Ch1 shooting the breeze with Jaxxo and Sundowner :(

Ahh well no more Ch1, wtg who ever it was that ticked HT off:rolleyes:

Yeah, I think the scenarios were more immersive with the Briefing Rooms too..... never been quite the same atmosphere here.  :)

Another alternative for chatting on ch 1 would be something like AW's radio room - perhaps something similar which could only be accessed on the ground and the only place that could tune to ch 1?  That way, we could still  toss the odd or greeting, but as it would be instead of flying it would be less prone to abuse.... maybe.  :)

[edit]Of course, we would still need to have an option to be able to monitor ch 1 if it was used that way.....[/edit]

Ch 1 in the beta was great until a few isolated people ruined it.  It was a great place to discuss the new version, and then too much disrespect was shown.

I think once AH2 goes live, Ch1 should be enabled but only allow 's  :p
