After playing it religiously from release day until about last April, I finally gave up on RoF and deleted it from my drive- campaign mode is still a joke, online play is godawful, and they seem to have fallen into the trap of adding more eye candy and 'customizations' instead of making what they already have actually work. Sad to see it go, but for the past 8 months or so the only play it's gotten from me has been a day or two after each update to see that they haven't really fixed anything, just added more stuff that I'm never going to see because I'm not dumb enough to plop down money for useless 'new content' whenever it comes out.

It was a fun ride for a little while, and I had really high hopes for them, but bye-bye RoF.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

The Iron Cross edition which amazon is selling has six additional planes compared to the free version. It is a good deal as those planes normally cost 7.62$ a piece.
