It seems AH 1 had more 'fun' elements, a lone player could close a town by himself etc.

This made average players stay, they could acomplish something without a need of a horde.

I liked that too. The main thing may be that I was twenty years younger as were all my squaddies. Not to mention the whole online gaming genre was new and exciting. Or at least new to those of us who got on board with the rise of fixed-price broadband Internet.

And further, as kids my generation used to read ww2 related comics, and the online games enabled reliving those adventures. Do they exist any longer?

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

IMO if there was one update to name that killed the gameplay is when they replaced the small square town.

How big are those maps?  :D

500 MB or somewhere around that order of magnitude.

What? I think the ground has better aesthetic, it's clean, you can see better ground targets and dots.

Ofcourse with the same graphics.

HTC must have backed up old versions....

LOL!!! WHY?

Biggest complaint of this game has always been "graphics are old school" so lets take a step backwards! You can never, and I mean NEVER get the "ol' Aces High" back. Even if HTC DID open an AH1 arena a few would look in just for the nostalgic aspect, but like the "Axis and Allies" arena it will be a ghost town. Not because it "sucks" or any other thing you could type about it. But because the world has changed, gaming has changed, players have changed. Aces High has been slow to react to that change which is why they are in the boat they are in, but goin backwards is only a quicker way to kill off what is left.

Fugitive if you would read last few pages, you would notice people liked the old gameplay better.

A gaming giant like Blizzard is going back to game from 15 years ago.

LOL!!! ya what 10-12 people? The boards are populated by less than 5% of players IN the game, hardly a great percentage of "lumping" an bunch of posters in for that.

Blizzard it a totally different company/setup. Of the hundreds of thousands of people that use Blizzard they will be enough players to populate another arena. Here, HTC NEVER had hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

This is my last post to anything you post unless you give us your in-game name, and not your shades that you use, your real name EVERYONE knows you by.
