If you don't need a subscription to play in the arenas put up in the "Free" area. How does a person not signed up for a "2 Week Trial" get to the "Free" tab to make use of the free arenas? Is there a change coming to that access portal process, or does your 2 week trial account after 2 weeks allow you unlimited time access to any player arena put up under the "Free" tab?

Will HTC be putting up a daily arena in there so this works?

My guess is that after the 2 week trail ends, if they click on the free tab they can continue to that page and select a free arena. If they select one of the other options the "pop up" window requesting the CC information would show, stopping them from going to the other arenas with out subscribing.

So h2h is back. Their are still many players that play today that got their start in h2h. I think it will a solid player base when it catches on.

has to help get more people playing. 

I think this is the biggest thing holding us back.   People need the time to fight, to learn the controls and ultimately do better than being a plaything for the better sticks in the MA.

Basically what i see is this..

Forced que DA fighting is free. (I think forcing folks to join the que is.. well.. nevermind) 

And any arena created by another player, assuming it isnt password protected.

It is not available when match play is active. Very intentional do to the possibility of griefing.

Is it possible to have a matchmaking arena, and our old DA back, both under the free settings?

Let low performance rides be free for anyone in Melee. Hurri I, Spit I, and He-111.

hmmm, maybe a training arena.  having a non greiving arena as the only option could be the correct choice.  the greiving ive found in the first ten minutes.

1. obvious differences in skill. quickly can put someone in their place...
2. grabbing bombers for tail guns.
3. hoeing on first merge.  :rofl (not much of a problem)
4. blocking the gameplay by joining and immediately bailing.

One positive...

Gratification is almost instant!  If you thought AH2 was like a cocaine addition.  Welcome to CRACK!

I would see a limited plane set for none paying player would be a perfect fit.
