Well MarineUS, I played AH since 2005 and it is a lot different today. For one, a lot of good sticks are not around anymore. A few still play although the fights become more boring rather than "How the hell did you do that!?!" excitement. It is not just the skill leveal of the player, it also the changes of the game. Perk rides, to accurate puffy ack, lower radar to 65 ft and extended out,new graphis and town capture flag, new rides and the lates, cap area reset in the off hours. People change with the game, but all to do the same but go a different way of how they played with the changes.
