[b56]

will AH think about enable PunkBuster where ppl can use the H2H rooms w/o hackers?

Is all the H2H really a game issue or a $ issue.  Seems to me that everyone who asks for H2H back is just too cheap to pay.  They want somthing for nothing.

Just out of curiosity, what other online games offer a free download and free online play?

I'd say the answer to your question is NO.

There're quite a few, actually.

Now I never played the H2H for more than 5 minutes.  I would assume that the majority of it's players* were probably under 18 and didn't have a credit card or couldn't get their parents to play for it.  Now with games like WoW, you can find month game cards in stores so they don't need a credit card to play the game online.

*I'm not saying all as I know there were some older gents that rocked the H2H scene for a long time.

That are...?

a) Worth a crap

b) Do not require you to buy a $49.99 boxed version of the front-end

c) Subsist totally on the basis of paid subscribership

That's where the playing field narrows.

America's Army.

America's Army.

You have to buy that game in the store. HTC does not sell a boxed product, they provide it for free. America's Army is also a marketing tool for the US Military not a "for profit" commercial enterprise like HTC. In essence every US tax payer is subsidizing America's Army.

If H2H was available back then for no charge at all... that means you're saying AH is a piece of crap? I've went on youtube, and google, to find out how these people hacked. Hackers, supposedly said that these hacks, only worked for the current version, which was 2.11. Now, it is 2.12 Patch 2. This means these hacks no longer work. With the addition of PunkBuster, AH would be virtually un-hackable. I know of some games who uses PunkBuster, and there are virtually no cheats for it.
  Sure, kids will play, but hey, if they love WWII airplanes so much, then let them.

*I was not a hacker, and never will be*

I would love to have H2H back. It was fun to go in there with squaddies and just mess around. Why don't they just make it an arena? Or make it for paying customer's only? Or both? If peope could hack in H2H they could hack in the MA's. If I remember correctly, someone did hack the MA's because they were mad that H2H was taken away. They have a video on youtube. I also heard they got booted from the game. IMO, if they brought H2H back for paying customer's only there shouldn't be a problem...

I was referring to AA as per your list:
1.) NOT a crap game
2.) Download it and you're done (legal)
3.) Only a free account
