Ah, sorry Beetle I did not give you a rebuttal, but it was the weekend after all...
Anyway, no where in that post (here for those who missed it) is there any mention of the terms 'Aces High II' or 'Tour of Duty'.  That post is specifically about version 1.11.
Basically, that idea became what is now known to be our vision of AH2: Tour of Duty.  So, you see, what I said is true.  We never entended 'Tour of Duty' to be released with AH1.  ToD is more likely to be a bit more involved and complex than that original vision, and ideas/things ALWAYS change during development.  It simply was an idea that we first came up with while developing AH1.  It soon became clear to us that this concept would be better developed under what would become the next generation of Aces High.

Video/ Video Settings:
Res: 1280x1024
Max texture Size: 128
Max Frame Rate: 45 fps
[/B]

Yor Max Texture size needs to be 512 for a 128 card ..or at the automatic settings picked up by AHII.

Superfly - that link is broken.

I pasted Hitech's post - in red ink. It definitely says the new game format would be in 1.11: "With 1.11, our goal is to add an entirely new gameplay structure to Aces High to complement our existing formats. This will be done with a separate arena using an entirely different format." OK, it doesn't say TOD. But that is at least a generic description for a mission theatre based arena. Oh well, doesn't matter now. At least I got the chance to thumb my nose at Slapshot! :p

I just hope that the new blackout model, FM and gunnery can do away with some of the old gamey tricks.

In this context, an aim or desired result.

Now, define the term "will" as in "This will be done with a separate arena using an entirely different format."

It is frustrating to have bought a computer just one year ago, and it is not capable of playing AH2. I don't even think the thing is paid for yet.
Yea, it is one of those assanine Dell computers, with the Intel integrated video. The computer wasn't bought to play games, but it has served well in that respect, until now.
My g/f says I can not survive without this game, and she is certain that I will break down and upgrade the computer to allow myself to play again. Someday it might happen, but for now, my AH career ends with the advent of AH2.

Well that's too bad. Did you buy a boxed system? I learned the folly of that when, after 18 months, my new boxed system was inadequate to play WB when the 2.6 "upgrade" came around. Ever since, I've built my own. A much better option, because you know every piece and have probably planned an upgrade path. So many of those boxed systems are end of product line, and have no upgrade path.

Saber - I lived in the Chicago area for about 14 months - Algonquin Road in Mt. Prospect, and I worked in Cicero - also did a stint at Motorola in Schaumburg. Where are you?

Describes the way to  process  goal exicution.  You can not take the term will there as a commitment, only as a description.

For one I dont know what in the world you are getting your panties in a bunch for beetle. HT and his crew have taken a big leap forward here. I think you just want to be right more than anything else.

What creamo said look at my online hours lately 0 hours in MA this and maybe last month also.

Even i have to turn the dimes at the end of every month.
I have 2 kids to feeds.

But 15$ isn't gonna screw me.
And yes this is still the best massive multiplayer game on the net.

Lately i fly mostly Il2 AEP wich for me is just way better than ah2 beta.

but still.
I won't cry and quit whining about i can't upgrade my sytem and stuff i already did btw. Getting around with a 1.0 gig just can't anymore.

unless u like to play old games only.

THE ONLY THING PERMANENT IS CHANGE.
