Black Hawk Down Game
« on: March 28, 2005, 04:34:51 PM »
Any of you playing Black Hawk Down?  Some friends are really into it, including on line, but I haven't seen much about it on the Aces High forums.  

Any opinions on it?  Any other similar games you recommend instead of it?  I'm doing a little America's Army and Far Cry but no other first person shooters at the moment.

Halo, any of the last few Novalogic games are pretty good... BHD, BHD:TS, JO, JO:E.

There were several of us in here that met up in Joint Operations for a while. Lots of fun.

BHD is a good game.. I played it forawhile.. Least until JO came around.. JO is just a better game though..  For certain JO is abit harder, but a better game..

If you decide to check it out, look me up and I will give all the pointers you need..

I play as Treefrog-AOM- in JO..

We are growing in JO and have about 18 members playing JO...  Many more playing BHD and LW..  We are also beginning to compete in scrims and matches..

That invitation goes to anyone that might be interested.. I ran into JDW one night playing.. Cant remember what his JO name was though.. hehe

I LOVED blackhawk down, mostly for the online play. But a couple of months a go, i had to put my computer "back in time", due to software problems.  But when i did that, Blackhawk down was unistalled and because i had just moved the day before, i had lost the intallation code, so now i can't install BHD!:( :(   But im keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that someday i will find them and beable to get back to my snipping!!:aok

I saw an Aces High server in JO the other day when I was on.  Not sure if it's someone from here who was hosting it but the server was locked.

Halo I've been playing the Delta Force series since they came out.  BHD was a pretty decent change to the old series but it had a ways to go I think in some areas.  What's nice with JO is you can actually fly or drive a ton of vehicles.  The new Escalation pack adds even more vehicles to fly or drive.  I have yet to figure out how to get my CH setup to work with the aircraft though.  I flew a few heli sims in the past and got pretty good.  Without being able to map my setup it makes it extremely difficult to fly their rigs.

Overall though I'd say get Joint Operations and the Escalation pack. If you want BHD just to play with your friends then it's a pretty good game.  Not sure how bad the cheats have gotten in it though.  Their were a ton of cheats and they pretty much ruined the game.  There is some sites out there that have custom progams that can assist you and your friends if you plan on hosting. It gives you map cycling abilities, quick entry without having to go into BHD to search through servers and banning abilities.  It also gives you the option to save certain servers that you like so you don't have to weed through a thousand servers to find the one you want.  You can just open the program see if the servers up and join from outside the game.

Red Orchestra - the best bar none. Haven't played a game like it and in the new version, we're about to see the MG-42 created realistically for the first time (1200 rpm has never been properly created in an FPS).

Ive really enjoyed Joint Ops.  As Ive said before, its one of the very very few games I've paid $39 for, plus $29 later for Escalation, that i've really played the heck out of

Ask Estes...I think he, myself, Abunabi, Log and others really loved played that game everything for 4-5 hours!  It wasnt unusual to start a game at 10pm and end when the sun was coming up!

I've played the Delta series since Landwarrior.

I really liked JO at first,but quit playing when they nerfed the sniper class to placate the whiners.
