No, we pay for access to the arenas.  The game is free.  You can do offline stuff to your heart's content with every aircraft or tank they've modeled without ever paying a penny.

We also used to have a free 8-player arena. Aces High was free2play before it was cool...

I've been following this for some time - with the RoF team in on this - it has potential.



It does but I still havnt forgotten the COD fiasco. I'll wait for it to come out. Im done with pre-ordering I dont care what they promise.

But for a per-Alpha that terrain and clouds do look purty.

That's what makes it WORSE.

It's already in the game and usable by the AI, there' s no reason to make you pay extra to make it usable by the player other than as a shameless cash grab.

This isn't as bad, if it's an actual Expansion Pack. But the model RoF used and Ack-Ack is describing is pretty much robbery.

RoF's business model is actually a good one and one that has been quite successful for them.

Is it just me or does every plane in CloD seem abysmally slow compared to AH? I do have TeamFusion mod installed. I've also yet to see a plane explode mid air. Lots of holes and they crash but no ripped wings, no explosions, and very rarely do I see fire.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Il-2 Cliffs of Dover. Started out as an unplayable buggy mess for many. Now it's all patched up and plays fine. Focuses on BoB though, so you won't see Me-262s and P51s.

I started off pretty on the fence about the whole graphics debate, but after seeing some IL2 videos, I think the eye candy adds another whole dimension of immersion and would not mind working towards getting a computer that could handle an Aces High with similar eye candy. I watched a video of someone flying a 109E from France over the Channel and engaging a couple of Spitfires and almost felt like I was there with the waves crashing below and the Cliffs of Dover and the French Countryside. +1 for improved graphics in AH. With such an extensive planeset modeled very accurately and dynamic gameplay, if Aces High got similar graphics, I don't know if I would play another game.

:rofl Imagined AH looked like that. Half the people would be pooping their pants and the other half will be crying on their 2001 Dells.

call me old fashioned but that did not look much better than AHII.  :old:

I dont know how well AHII looks.  :old:
