Yes, not sure what that Assault Horizon thing was. Luckily it didn't ruin the Ace Combat series as it takes place in the real world and not the Ace Combat world. I think maybe it was a test to see how to fan-base would like a more cinematic driven game instead of a story-line driven game. Hopefully they see that everyone wants the old AC back.
4,5,0 are all equally close to being my favorite with 6 being very close behind. I loved the story in AC4, and the story for AC5 and how parts of AC0 link into AC5. But, I think AC0 will have to be my favorite since I am a fighter pilot kind of guy and the Belkan War and B7R was the proving ground for the top fighter pilots. Plus, who didn't get a massive adrenaline rush in the finally fight while the song "Zero" played in the background? I could just talk about this series all day long!

I'm looking to try and get all the country flags and squadron patches made so I can hang them in my room. It would be sweeeet!
