What's he mean by "going extra slow now"?

if you cant even find fun dueling a partner of flying in AvA, then you are burnt out of AH completely.



in this thread, your basic notion is that when you do log in for the short ammount of time you can get, it sucks. what you need to do is log in for that lucky window of time and find something that you can enjoy......if you fail to do so it is not the fault of the producer, or the players, that you can't find enjoyment, and moreover, the legendary fiction that is tod will not make you enjoy the game anymore than a few placebic hours.....thus...you are burnt out.

remember, here is the key, this is my opinion.

Bat, you're confusing bored with burnt out. Not everyone plays the game to become a well rounded cartoon pilot/toolshedder/camper/general. If he, or anyone, logs in and is frustrated by a lack of whatever aspect of the game he enjoys, that's not being burnt out.

And if you'll read slowly, you'll see that he's hoping CT will lure the capture-the-flag crowd out of the MA- not become his new toy.

Anyway, having actually spoken to Mars on a somewhat regular basis, and sharing his perspective on several aspects of gameplay, I wouldn't say he's burnt out.

Bingo! This is a problem with most of the maps we have.

When did this happen?  Jeez I leave on vacation for a bit and hub joins the navy?  Last time I checked he was a bomber pilot?

Wait a minute....did you ditch your B26 and forget how to get out of it so you are floating around in 3 feet of water sitting in the top turret claiming its a boat?

I can't imagine that Lev would let you have a PT boat.  Think of the carnage!

You guys got somethin' to say to me? Why don't you say it in the microphone. I got a backup mike right here. Check one two, testing, testing. Yup, they both working and guess what? they don't like no feed back, what's up?

I think it lends a certain credibility and authority to my posts that I was lacking before being promoted. As a commissioned officer, I'm obviously smarter than regular people.

I'll take an old sargent over a commisioned officer, no matter how smart he thought he was.

As a car salesman I once sold a brand new Land Rover Defender 110 to a business man.  He wanted a sturdy 4x4 for his work and private life.  You know what?  That barstool came back 5 or 6 times moaning about it.  First the engine was to noisey & wanted more padding under the bonnet  .  Then the side pannels were to noisey and the all terrain tyres were to noisey.  More padding and different tyres fitted.  Then air vents were to primative .  Couldn't do anything about that.  He came back with other moans.  The service manager asked me what kind of stitch up job I'd done to the guy to make him by the motor in the first.  I said I'd sort the guy personally next time he came back and this is what i said.

Sir, with respect the vehicle is as it should be.  I'm sorry Sir but you have obviuosly purchased the wrong vehicle for your needs.

Never seen the guy since.

From the above little ditty draw any conclusion you like

well said LYNX

With all due respect, this game used to be about actually fighting other people. This was years ago, probably before either of you had even heard about this game. The game itself hasn't changed much, but the folks who are more interested in chatroom with planes have most definitely altered the way the game is played.

To say those of us who've been around a while should like it because the lowbrow mob of relative newcomers says we should is foolish. While you may not like or agree with what we have to say, we are entitled to our opinions as well.

I started to play this game little over 2 years ago. After AW i stayed out of flight sims. For the most part in those two years the game play is about the same. At first i did alot of GV's bomb runs and big squad runs. This was a good way for me to have fun and not die over and over. I think you can see this today with the big packs that roam the map...

Today i feel if your looking for a fight you can find it really fast. I dont GV our bomb much anymore. I look for fights when i log every night. Base defence is the fasted way to get into a fight. I have become very good at low alt multi con dog fights. I dont up from really capped fields getting vulched is not much fun for me. If the map looks clear i look for a fight. Red dar bars are really good in my book. 10k over a base in my spit 16 looking at 5-10 cons on the deck makes me smile.

I am willing to bet that i could log on and in 10 mins have multi kills. I think if you look for a dog fight you can find it. Not much has really changed in Ah from the day i started but my tactics have changed. AH is the only game i play and have fun playing ever night. If TOD was never to come it really wouldnt be a big deal to me.

btw last night map sucked

I havent been here long at all(a year in nov), but i understand what hes saying. I have got one on ones and 3v3s but u have to look for them.  Had one the other day. BUt for the one on ones u have to hunt someone down, either somebody tryin to join the horde or leave the horde or somebody just cruzin around. BUt one of the things that bothers me is that ill be floating around 10k and lookin down at 2 greens fightin one con, and hover over for like 5 minutes and watch them go in circles, i end up dropin down and taking himself. Again i havent been here long but i spent ALOT of time playing in h2h and the last couple of months in the m/a and have learned ALOT quicker then these noobs to the point where the first move tells me if my con noes what hes doin or not. The thing is noobs out number vets(im not callin myself a vet but im no noob). Maybe htc should make training a must for new guys, try to teach them so they can learn somethin other then hoing in a la7 or doin circles in a spit16, when i first started i was a dweeb but with time and a good poundin from vets kicked my out of it and with a solid foundation i can improve. And i willl continue to do just that.

Just my 2 cents, nothin more nothin less.

BTW wheres that ToD some offical word from the guys at htc would be great about now.
