Just wondering if AH3 will have Mid and Early war like AH2?

Hopefully that is not the case, MW is best place (or was) to learn some of the fundamentals of Aces High without being over whelmed by the shear numbers and skills of some of the players.

I think the AI missions arena, custom arenas and the TA are supposed to help you with that. Every time I was in those early arenas, one fight and the arena full timers moved somewhere I wasn't.

Sheer numbers? Is there an arena I don't know about yet?  :confused:

A mid and early war arena would work fantastically if you change the map to Smog8 or another really small close action map. What doesn't anyone understand about that? I think it would work great.

I don't have a post to quote HiTech, but he was answering questions in game and stated that he was not sure if there would be Mid or Early war arenas.

For the average numbers who took part in those arenas, you can put up a 16 player custom arena with any of those maps under the Player tab at the arena selection screen. But, then what would be the point, no perk farming or the thrill of winning an uncontested MA map. Any of the MWMA fans can get together and put up an arena if they really love that format.

I think a dedicated arena would have a better chance of success.

If it was such a success and drawing people in it would already be up. It is easy enough for someone who is on often and maybe retired to make an arena to play in when they want.

Yes an as much as I liked MW  earlier on, it died off to either a large group on one side or people milking for perks. The latter to use for their ride in LW.
