Yeah I rejoined. $9.99 a month special if you join in May and they gave me my old rank back.

Modern FPS's just move to fast for me.

Welcome to the ACES HIGH BBS.... I see you have two posts. One of which is advertising another game... I see what you did there...

No harm no foul there Dubious. But is it ethical? ...kinda low on that scale.  Kinda like talking about the awesomeness of War Blunder and World of Pranks / Slips.

I played ww2 online way back when - the flight model is nowhere near as nice as the one here. 

[Ack-Ack]

I played WW2OL when it was beta and then after it's crapstastic launch for about a year.  I remember being able to fly down the road in a Ju87 and just knock tanks and trucks off the road with my landing gear and the flight models of that game.  The FM for the Bf 110 was a joke at launch, you were literally able to take off the plane like an airplane and every plane seem to have endless energy because of the lack of drag.

It was funny to see them a few years ago trying to tap in to the China market only to see that fail miserably.  Frankly, I am very surprised the Cornered Rats have been able to keep this game afloat, should have swirled down the toilet years ago.

I bought the boxed version the day it came out.

Never will I make that mistake again.

I do like the idea, I wish something on that scale could be done here, even with just aircraft and tanks.

The game is being worked on mostly by volunteers now, they've managed to do more with the game in the last while than the Rats did in the last few years they were around.

I too was there on go live.  Very laggy.  I played for a couple of years but the game demands more time than I typically get now.

EDIT: meant the Bf 110 at launch was able to take like a helicopter.

I think I played until around early 2007, the worst thing CRS did was give players the ability to boss other players around.  All the unlikable jerks hopped into High Command slots and started crapping all over the fun squads that they were never allowed into.

That's how I remember it anyway, been awhile.

They are two completely different types of games. Believe me AH3 isnt going to lose a single customer to WW2OL, Ive spoken about WW2OL many times here on the forum.

AH has 10 times the available aircraft, much better graphics, is easier to learn, better audio. The two just dont have much in common.

There is one thing WW2OL has and that is the ability to recreate realistic WW2 combined arms battles in a real map of Europe. As a flight game, or even a tank game, it cant compare with AH3. Tho I still have fun playing WW2OL. Both are about the last ones standing in the WW2 MMO's, at one time they shared players who played both. But now? They arent in competition.

When I quit it years ago they didnt even have a coder. Now? They have been green lit and are currently writing the Steam integration so things may change there and yes its a very tight nit community that has stayed loyal to the game. Like this one.

Yep. Worst thing for the game was when you needed an AO to take a town. No more sneaking anything which took the fun out

Wow are they still in business? I played there for a year or so with 3rd Panzer.... great bunch of players. Pity about the devs.
