Yeah, but perhaps I'm not the only one in my family who likes to use the internet hmmm?
Also, the computer I use for browsing is a rubbish P200, whereas MY computer is a 700 Athlon but is not connected to the net, so it would be nice to have dog fights that ran faster than 2 fps (and I'm not exagerrating there!)
Oh yeah, and with regards to the $29.99 a month subscription:
THERE IS NOOOOOOO WAY I AM EVER GONNA PAY THAT!!!!
$30 a year, fine, but $30 a month is just a complete rip-off, when I could buy far more superior games that I can play both online AND offline properly for a one-off fee of $30. I don't care if it's one big war online with over a squillion people playing over sooper-de-dooper servers. The fact is that I only have a 56K modem, and so massive online wars would run like paint!
Until online gaming becomes more reliable I ain't paying a thing, this game is sooo fragile, if anything goes wrong at all, thw whole computer crashes (and that's not just on my computer, friends have had the same probs.)
I know AH is a really ACE game, and it's real nice of HiTech to allow H2H games for free, but I'm sure they'd get a HELL of a lot more custom if they dropped the subscription to a reasonable amount. I'd be happy to pay $30 a year to play.
