I was keeping my account re-open with high hopes about the new h2h for 8-9 months without no go. I let my account to die with my expired CC. No reason to keep it open for 1-2 hour flying per month.
To me, the h2h was providing a variation of the terrains, game plays and also fast action.
IMHO
The MA with 200+ players are nothing to compare to well managed h2h rooms back then with 8 h2h old timer players: A friendly mood, good fights, respect and nice talking.
The new h2h with the custom terrain hosting possibility would be nice.
(edit)
This already posted YouTube film some how reminds about the h2h variation & goofiness atmosphere back then
