Well, true, enhanced skills can be used for attack as well as defense. Only 7.7s? A couple times I've yearned for quad .50s or a pair of 20mm.

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned ... Carmageddon!

Yeah but if a passenger suddenly loses consciousness does everyone in the car black out too?

I am sooo glad you did not encounter any net lag with either incident. Some how both would have gotten on my six and shot me down

Good one Halo

It was actually one of the first things I noticed when I started to play. Your SA DOES improve when you're playing AH.

Of course I still suck, but after 20 years experience in computer games and about 10 in flightsims it is next to impossible to reprogram yourself from the usual 'if you can see it, you can kill it' routine. Only if I force myself to use my head instead of being guided by the desire to kill I get 'reasonable' results.

How do I drive? Welll, in 10.5 years I never had an accident where I was the guilty party and only three very minor speeding tickets. As for parking, don't ask

As for me, I find myself constantly trying to line up enemy...err...other cars in my sight...umm...hood ornament.

Well, You may laugh but as i see it WB & AH made me somewhat more aware of whats goin on around when i drive. Not more than 3 weeks ago i had this situation on the road, which could have been the very end at least to my car, if not me

I was driving at about 50mph through Warsaw, on one of the bigger & faster streets. Its a 2 lane one too, and the lanes are separated. Suddenly i realized the the other lane is empty, no cars despite its the usuall traffic jam time in that direction. It turned out it has been closed for some important politician is passing through there under police escorts etc. So i kept staring at them police cars to my left, and so did everyone in front of me. When i looked ahead again, i was really confused with what i saw

All the cars that were in front of me were now stopped and a huge traffic jam has just begun. All them cars including a red Ford Sierra which was the closest one to me were NOT MOVING... And when i saw that i had maybe 20 to 15 meters to the red Ford... Everything that has happened later (i was going somewhere around 80-90 km/h at the moment) happend faster that my thoughts could tell me what to do. I kicked the brake for a tanth of a second, turned the weel to get to the side, and the kicked the brake again. I stopped well above 20 meters in front of the red Sierra, on a parallel track. Now... how did i knew theres nobody my right side, and there is space to make a brake ? Well, last time i checked my right mirror must have been soem time before i had to brake. I just remembered that considering th e position and speed of everything i saw, i might just be able to make it. Anyways it was the ony possible thing to do. But again, i did not even had the time to realize whats going on, it just sought of happened.

Man... i yelled like crazy was so excited that i managed to get away form that sure crash

Halo, your a local, I live south in Dumfries. I know excatly what you're talking about, that's why I take the VRE.

halo
yep my SA has also Improved but as consequence I spend more time in front of my computer

maybe if I'd actually been driving and not playing AH my car wouldn't have been parked outside my house (mines the black car)

This little prang caused over £3000 damage to my cart and meant it was an insurance write off

Worse of all was the guy who caused the accident (not driving the white car but another one) was never found.

cost me over £1000 and has doubled my insurance premiums,
if I still had the car it would have cost me £450 to insure this year now it would cost £1045!!

If only I'd been out driving and not sat at my computer

Damn Aces High you owe me a new car

I'm sure Aces Hi has helped my driving. Last Saturday I was driving North on 24 from Defiance to Toledo Ohio. Traffic was heavy in the south bound lane. Suddenly someone whips out and tries to pass. He wasn't close to having enough room and I had to get off the road to the right to avoid the HO. Didn't even phase me. Told my girlfriend "no problem do that all the time in Aces High".
