I hope he is close or has the beta up and running with some of you gents helping him work out the kinks. We may never know because he is not obligated to make it an open invitation. If it has the expected controller standard by the general Steam subscriber and easy to get into action and play. They will be exposed to the AH3 engine and graphics along with the physics. You gents will probably have to play it when it goes live to see if he includes something to point at AH3 as the full monti experience if they want more.

Too bad Capture the Sheep is not more popular, it's kind of like Fortnite crossed with AH3 to steal sheep. The He111 made a great sheep protection over watch while the jeep and M3 made great mobile forts when Hitech allowed them in the game. Hitech and Skuzzy were real mean to steal sheep from.
If you would have compared KOTH to Fortnite you wouldn't look like you have no clue what your talking about.

Fortnite has a communal game for groups who like contributing to a less ego bruising group effort and a KOTH game for ego bruisers. Capture the sheep is a communal game once you start jailing players planes with the He111 over watch or a jeep at the sheep pen. Or have the GV's been disabled along with bombers these days. Sheep stealing is a very cooperative game unless you like being jailed while two or three guys steal all your sheep unopposed. It does not work very well as a 1v1 dueling game either since it only takes one random ping to jail you and you need a countryman shooting you to free you. Everyone gets randomly pinged no matter how good they are in steal the sheep. One side wins but, it's not an ego bruiser like KOTH type of games since no one gets shot down from fights in steal the sheep. You cooperatively steal sheep to win.

Mr. Krabby had a horrible PC so he would orbit over the sheep pen in an He111 and spray everyone making it tough to free people from jail.

While it could feed some over. It is not a goal of the design.

HiTech

Interesting.  That seems like a missed opportunity to enhance AH.

Good luck with the War Online product line.

Will this be accessed from the main arena selection screen of ah3 or will it be a seperate game altogether?

I've never found the AH KOTH event to be an "ego bruising" type event

Just saying

Obvious requirements:
- F3 -view enabled
- Lead computing gunsight enabled
- Easy mouse control

If that is what it takes to have a successful game, then I'd say go for it!

It doesn't affect any of us playing AH and I don't think HTC should provide or offer it to the AH3 crowd for free!

We are not owed any free ride just because we played a different product of HTC, no matter if it has been over 6 months or 29 years!  Typo error:  meant over 19 years for AH, I didn't have my first modem to modem (head to head) until late 1989...3 years before my first attempt at Air Warrior..

My thoughts

F3 views maybe, even though it doesn't teach very good mechanics. but definitely not lead computing sights. That would make it too easy.

I'm ok with easy mouse control for those who can't afford or don't like sticks, but I sure hope it's not f3 view with aimbots.

Meh.  I think F3 is reasonable.  I have always thought it would be a good compromise for the awkward, goof 1980's key based, or joystick hat view systems.  That isn't realistic either and a lot more restrictive than you'd have in real life being able to turn your head in more than set angles continuously including looking out of the corner of your eye.  Of course, VR is the real solution.  :lol

Oh, wait.  Maybe not. 

Man, those graphics don't look as good as I  remembered.   :rofl  Still a great game though.

(But didn't hold a candle to the original Dynamix Red Baron!  That game first got me interested in sims.)
