What about the SDL matches - everyone would see the dar in the MA, and up to defend/attack.

Almost needs some kind of a script that only allows you to up from reserved fields if you have a match.
Be it one vs one, or a SDL 10 vs 10.

Anyone trying to up as a griefer would stay locked in the tower. And could only up from furball lake or the TT area.

. . . . but they odd just throw all those DA lake people into the Mid-war arena and let them get a quick dose of skill the hard way

They'd fit better in Orange.

I'm sure that its just a subset of the population, but a significant bunch operates under the theory of its an open arena and I can do whatever I want. While "the lake" is a free for all zone, that attitude spreads to all the other fields as well at times.

Need some sort of command like

.duel <playername> which could be additive (i.e. 4 v 4 duels, etc.

.duel player1
.duel player2

would allow you to fight these two players and no one else.  Those two players would have to ".duel" you as well.

Anyone who came and shot you without dueling privileges would be killshot.

To avoid abuse (two players on same squad using this, then running around impervious to everyone else's bullets), you would not be allowed to shoot down any other players, either.  You would also be kill shot for this.

I'm kinda foggy on this, but I remember in the old game <AW> we had a "Duel Mode"? that 2 people or 2 squads entered into .....then no 1 else around could see you or did'nt see your dot/icon? A feature like that might be nice.
 
So and so challenges to a duel and you could accept or/not something like that? We did it right on the main fields in FR.

Any else remember that?

I remember that, at least the 1v1 part. I didn't know you could do the squad v squad thing.

could also have

.duel squadname1
.duel squadname2

would make it easier and the entire squad could join the fun

Yes... I think you could have up to 4 folks on each side. So a 4 on 4 sqd match.
I just remember when in dual mode others didnt see you or couldnt mess with ya ?

There's only one real hope other than having sort of CM's babysitting the DA: Player hosted H2H rooms on HTC server
They would end up being very busy managing that place.

I wish there was a way to go back to the halcyon days of AH. 

Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen.

All I can hope for now is they introduce some cool planes that I'd like to mess around in.

this is what I expected when they ditched h2h. all the little twit Aces Halo... errum High warriors jumping on line to further ruin the game.

Whats sad is the fact that its really just that now. Halo High... Aces Halo...Can I coin those terms?

Anyhow, I love the game for the good friends I've met. If I hadn't met them, I would have been gone a looooong time ago.
