stuff I miss from Aces High in the beginning

[Citabria]

I miss not having stuff:

there was no dawn, dusk or night.

there were no wind layers.

there was no ai 88mm flak


I miss having stuff

the beta terrain ground war was awsome, the travel times were too short but much more fun than the current long travel times in vehicles to the fight. it was over the top in tankerville but it was fun.

I miss having fights at 20k+ even 30k, it was much harder to shoot up in that thin air with those high true airspeeds. now if i go above 20k in the ma im in a ghost town.


I miss Skuzzy hosting the MA





just looking back on how AH has changed and this is all the stuff I can think of that i miss having or not having. well HTC you've done a pretty damn fine job or this list would be 10 pages long.

Whatever happened to that guy with the handle "Hllywod"? (or something like that)

[LePaul]

I miss the beta maps, especially that one with the big mountain/snowmen in the middle

I miss crater damage, no more GVs zipping through craters unscaathed, etc

[Dago]

there were no constant discos or unplayable lag

I gotta wonder if its your connect, I rarely see lag, warps seem rare enough that I mention one when I see it, and lately I havent suffered any discos.  I have been playing a fair amount lately, and this is what I am observing.

I have certainly seen enough times guys blamed HTC on problems that were actually caused by their own ISP.  Not saying this is the case for you, but I am not having lag or disco problems.

I just miss "Car Bombing". There was nothing more fun, then driving a lanc over to a C47, and dropping 6 tons of bombs on it

[Mickey1992]

I miss the pre-compression days when I could fly at 800 MPH with no ill effects.

[Tac]

I miss the real torque effects.

[popeye]

I kinda miss the old flight model, but the current EasyMode is fun too.

[sourkraut]

The volcano. And who was that guy who racked up all the kills in it?

[ygsmilo]

I miss Torque killn everyone in that CHOG of his and his "banter" on Channel 1.

"Death to Torque"

[Mathman]

I kinda miss the old flight model, but the current EasyMode is fun too.

I miss the real torque effects.

I liked these things b/c it made it a bit tougher and more satisfying when you earned a kill, but I seem to recall numerous threads, postings, and the like which either pointed out that these were wrong or justified the current settings.

That being said, I really miss the old beta maps.  Those were the best!

The volcano. And who was that guy who racked up all the kills in it?

Joemud.

[BD]

I miss Godzilla,

and the Shiner Bock mountains

[Soda]

Field A1, right in the damn middle of the map at 10K.  Sure, it sucked and everyone complained about it, but that was part of what made it special.  Whoever owned A1 was the target of a gangbang since everyone wanted it, but at 10K it was almost impossible to make it change hands.  Climbing a goon up to 10K took forever and getting bombers sufficiently high over it to knock the hangers down took too long... The VH that defended it was down in a valley, probably 7K lower than the field and absolutely pointless.  Valleys all around... ahh... almost makes me cry thinking about it.
