Roger Waters is coming or David Gilmour and those two burtn-out losers? THAT is not Pink Floyd, that band could not write decent lyrics to save their sorry lives (although Gilmour is one of the best living guitarists). Pink Floyd without the lyrics is like near-beer, kind of a waste of time.

Regarding AH2 and system requirements:
I cannot think of a game released in the last 2 or 3 years that plays as well on 5 year old computers as AH2. I find it humorous every time I see some guy flying who claimed he could not run it on his system and also could not afford an upgrade back when AH2 was in beta. You've got to realize that being a computer gamer requires an investment in computer hardware. You cannot use the former without the latter.

Get a job or save some money and buy some new parts.

They are cheaper now than ever and will run AH2 just fine.

Perhaps(actually I did) I vented a bit much.
            This has been something I've wanted to throw out there for a while.
            I think some very good points were made, couple stinky ones, couple stinky ones by myself as well. Not unhappy about that except I could have bee a little more 'delicate' in my phrasing.
            Maybe I should put in the frustrating incidents that may have triggered my outburst. I've been to 3 individuals homes to try and 'help' (like the tooth-less teachin someone to chew...) them get on and fly. Two had been to my home here in the sticks and all 3 were fired up to play. It was apparent their graphics/comp wasn't gonna go. And that was that.
            I'm still prodding them, hope they can find it worth their while , and I did this ENTIRELY for selfish motives, it'd be kinda cool to have some 'in-town' that was in this too.
            I think the creator, Hitech and entire staff are really kickin'.
I have no real idea how they could be more helpful, realisticly. Great game. Just was a bit peived....... and hoping that this isn't gonna be some 'elitist' thing. And the video ability of even the cheaper PC's are getting better all the time. Hopefully Hitech's planning has put AHII ahead of the curve:)

now you sort of see what we see ..

theres alot of new players ..(which we like to help and turn into decent players)  but they come online using a word processor instead of a gamer and they get all frustrated when there pc aint up to snuff , and try to take it out on us .

Economics 101
 2 guys write a version of pong in java on their vacation that out produces AW sales 10-1... EA looks at the cost of development and support and chooses Pong over AW3&4...
 OF course thats the simplified version but according to my friend at EA pretty close to the truth...
 We have AH now... Get over it...

AW had no defense against cheats, which drove away clients, which killed the game.  ende.

Heh if AW died due to lack of subscribers, AH must be in serious trouble since AW had far more players than AH has ever had!


In other words AW's "lack of subscribers" was in reality EA's unhappiness that it didn't have "The Sims"-like subscription numbers; EA was truly retarded and their online gaming plans failed miserably.  Several excellent games, of which AW was but one, met their end due to EA's colossal incompetence.
