No offense taken there USRanger.
As for Rooks not giving it their all for country, I think that those of us that remember the way it was, are left wondering what made that happen? For me, it was just great hilariously funny squad mates that you followed around just to see what shenanigans they were about to pull. Missions were run regularly, but that was before base capturing required steroids and corked bats.
What I do find refreshing, besides the Axis versus Allies arena, is constantly discovering new aspects to the game. Just tonight I downloaded a different sound pack, and must say that I flew low and slow into a furball just to check it out (was so fun, I did it again).
I guess, that I have finally taken enough lumps that, whether or not we have a majority of bases has become a concern of the past.
