ok...here's my take on it.
i was somewhat afraid to try this arena. i had bad impressions(i couldn't have been more wrong) of jaeger1, and the jg54. i knew there were no icons in there. i was afraid my cartoon ego would get hurt. i figured i sucked in the mw arena, how the hell would i handle no icons?
whelp....lemme tell ya. i couldn't ask for a better bunch of internet dweeb cartoon pile-its to fly/fight with. the lack of icons has removed most of the timid flying i used to do in the mw arena.
we get a new map every single week. we get a decent FUN limited plane set which changes each week. we get weather. we get awesome maps from usranger. we get good clean fun fights. we get custom set ups, almost like mini-special events.
most importantly of all, we have a dedicated staff in here all of whom work their tulips off to make this a great place to play for all of us. they listen to anything anyone suggests.
if it weren't for the ava, i sincerely think i'd be taking another vacation from this game.
