Money....
« on: August 08, 2004, 12:28:16 AM »
I've seen alot of flyers drop out. Seems they can't AFFORD to spend money on their graphics, AND pay $15 bucks a month.....
               SOMEONE will bring an online flight sim that the average guy can fly.... lack of subscribers killed AW. If you can't play, why pay?
                I'm the only member of my squad that's played every week since ahII. I like it. I'll plug along. I'm NOT spending money to improve hicktits bottom line, but someone else, w/ more sense, will...

You won't spend the money that someone with more sense would????  

I don't think that sentence means what you think it does.

Hahahaha...this is a funnany.

Newflash:

Doom3 just release with awesome new graphics that most can't play.

Halflife 2 due to be released with even more awesome graphics that no one will be able to play.

OP2, et al are all coming out with graphics that are beyond most peoples machines yet someone (not naming names) beetches because people can't play AHII.

Get a grip, a new computer, or at least a reality check.  HTC is actually making sure that the most people are able to play AH compared to other games never to mention the other flight sims.

BTW, have you tried to play IL-2 lately?

If you can't AFFORD to spend money on graphics then I suppose you probably aren't playing many current games on your computer.

Perhaps you could come off the mountain, and list them. Such a vociferouis, intelligent being should be able to enumerate them with out breaking a sweat?
           Oh, I forgot, you have the 'UBER' system. We all be dweebs at your feet, oh great .....what?
            Come on, we've heard you spew on people who've had to listen to your contracted version of reality. You're sooooooooooooooooooooooo  helpful.
              Be helpful now. Or you just flamin'....................as usual.

Is it? I can't figure out what it is you are crying about.

AH2 requires no more of a system then any other modern game. Quite a bit less then most.

Its not like it will cost "thousands  of dollars" to build a PC that will play Ah2 rock steady.

How come no one complains of this type of garbage when other games upgrade?

Sounds like someone has PC envy...

oh man come on .....

I'm playing on my 3+ yr old system most of the time
1.3 ghz amd
512 ram
it was a GF 2 mx 400 (which was playable ) i upgraded to a 85 dollar 9550 256mb ati card . (it plays great now along with waking up some of my other games )

Here i'll put it in simple terms ...

How much do you spend on new games each year ???
(game cube/playstation ect .. games included )

I spend about 150 a year on games (alot of used ones at the seconds store)  

How much have you spent on your PC in the last 3 to 4 years ?

(i have around 450 in  this old pc plus the 85 for the new card , thats not to bad for over 3 years of hard gaming and enjoyment )
Hell most of use can spend that just going out in less then 2 months .



So  whats the big deal about a little pc upgrading ???
btw video cards are super cheap right now .

most guys just needed a video card upgrade .. and the ones that needed a faster pc were way over due ... ( or they bought a word processor instead of a gamer , there is a difference)

So I guess I'll take my "UBER System" and go play with the big Dogs ... (hint mine still gets off the porch )

I stoped AH to play FB-AEP, so it's not that my computer cannot handle AH2 :D I left for the gameplay first, graphics second.

Same Frenchy... AEP only.

What servers do you fly on? Do you still fly with the 56th guys in Jugs? What do you think of the jugs in 2.04?

I never could shoot your arse down in AH but would love to cram a 30mm up your arse to revenge the Big Week Scenario...:)

Damn Allied Opportunist :p

Anyway a few of us fly over on HL. My nic is 4./JG53_Wotan.

Wrong!  EA killed AW!  The rot started when they got rid of volunteer staff as well as most of the contracted staff; as it happened just before they started charging, many simply did not subscribe and left the game.  So, although there was a lack of subscribers, it was EA's actions that caused it and it was they who ultimately pulled the plug.
