Mission Arena – Will you fly it?

[Slash27]

only way ill fly there is if we are all in Spits,N1Ks, and La7s. We squeak about the CT we never fly in, whine about whining, and insult each other as much as possible on the BBS:D

* the above is a joke   not to be taken seriously*

I cant wait for the Mission Arena    sounds fun as hell:)

[ergRTC]

yep slash.  I hope they limit it to just the TA and the mission areana.  Then the gamers can go and lick bill gates's shriveled little billionaire b@@@s and buy a copy of fighter ace.  Sure we will lose a couple of the crotchety old players and some of the annoying 16 yr olds but all in all I would call that win win.

if you find this even mildly offensive, it worked, and you can send your complaints to imaloss@idreamaboutla7s.com.

As for me, I will be in the mission arena with the rest of the guys in the CT, as  I am sure it will be shut down.  That is fine, because the CT is just a hold over for mission arena.

Oh, a little logic puzzle for you guys.  If nobody will fly in an arena with no one flying in it, how does the MA get repopulated after the server crashes?  Does hitech have to prime it?  Do all of the employees have to fly for a couple of minutes so it looks like people are in there?  fricking sheep.

beetle... i have no idea what you mean by "olive branch"..

Every now and then, I emit tell-tale things which give the game away that I am a preacher's son - the one thing I have in common with Alice Cooper. The olive branch was from the Noah's Ark story - dove was released to see if there was dry land, and came back with an olive branch - first sign that floods were subsiding - yap-yap - you get the picture. It was the earth's way of showing it was still there. Biblical bunkum, but I must not digress.

Yeah, I had a guy try to steal my base capture the other night, but I had the last laugh. A second C47 was following me and really stuffing the nose down to catch up to me. I dropped my troops, whereas he landed (vehicle base) thinking he could get his troops in more quickly that way. But mine was a good drop from a knife edge turn right over the map room. The other guy made the comment that his troops were running faster than mine, and so they might have been, but mine didn't have to run as far. :D So I got the capture. I think the other guy was secretly pissed off about the whole thing, judging from his remarks.

Lazs, I forgot - third part of the challenge is to write a post (more than 100 words) without using the word "timid".  Just kidding.

[BlauK]

I will most definitely fly there
No more senseless suicidal furballing

[lazs2]

beetle... i am familiar with the biblical reference... I simply didn't know how it pertained to us.

I think my use of the word "timid" shows restraint... look at blauk for the other side of things.

I will be flying there. As many have said, the main arena is just lame.

[Angus]

Hmm, yes, I would definately have a go, - it sounds good.
The CT sounds good too, but not many people fly in there.
I have to agree with many people above that this new arena would perhaps take people away from the CT rather than the MA, but yet, I am not sure. Remember the Battle of Britain event? It was set up like a mission arena basically and what happened? It got overbooked!!!!!
Guess the only way we're gonna find out about this is by trying it out. Looking forward HTC

[Fariz]

Mission Arena (btw probably it will have some other name, so not to be confused with MA) is the most attractive thing in AH for a very long time. All depends as it implemented. I already see several possible problems, which designers can face, but can't comment before new on what it will be like are published.

For example I already do not like the idea that medals and ranks stay with you after your death. Probably pilot death is the main thing which this arena is bringing to AH, and it shall be just as few compromises here, as possible. We already have an endless spawn/death ability in MA, I am looking for a different expireince for MisA.

[robsan]

yes

[Hammy]

I think this is a very good idea and will most certainly be trying it out.

Would it be possible to setup some sort of system whereby u could rescue downded pilots who have bailed successfully? using catalinas or even the c47 as it stands, but make it possible for the player to board the plane if it lands near?

Would add realism to the penalties for being shot down, if u could be rescued and perhaps halve the time you are forced to sit in tower.

This would appeal  to the many players who feel they are simply not good enough to fly fighters or even bombers with the new sights as they are, and would play for this reason to run the rescue missions.

I dont know but it would be fun trying to evade capture while awaiting a rescue goon!

Anyone else think so?

Hammy

"ONLY" the dead have seen the end of war!

[Slash27]

That would be a great option Hammy.

[lazs2]

If it would increase the angst of the cowardly bailers when I shoot them in their chutes then..... it would be an excellent idea.

[Slash27]

chute shooters suck:D

[AKSWulfe]

As of yet, I have seen very little to no information regarding the "Mission Arena"...

I'll fly it, if it ain't a Fighter Ace recreation with historical match ups and ranks (General, Lieutenant, Colonel bellybutton Grabber)...

We'll see... but so far I haven't seen anything to really intrigue me, or believe it's gonna be some kind of uber good arena.. atleast no better than the MA...

And in the end, it'll still boil down to isolated furballs. If you believe otherwise, you should probably remember to not bring electrical appliances into the shower/tub.
