What was this person talking about?

My badge of honor was bestowed upon me by none other than "Steve", who recently was recognized for stringing together a long list of victories without getting shot down.  I was in a P-51D and stumbled into his Mustang between two islands on the NDIsles map.  After the first volley, he popped off my port flap.  When he came round for another tail shot I went evasive, pulling back to go vertical, and instead went into a high-speed stall.  As I tumbled around, losing speed and alt, he overshot and climbed out.  I recovered on the deck and he shot me down after a couple of more passes (his having more speed to maneuver, of course), and then he quickly got on Ch 1 and started calling me a stick-stirring dweeb.

And I won't let him forget it!  I just wished I'd filmed the whole thing.  It was pretty entertaining.

I don't know, maybe it's only me, but I find it easier to learn how to fly proper than to learn how to change source codes...

and probably a lot more fun.

This may be a very ligitimate reason for HTC to stop the H2H side of AH for non-subscribers, if H2H's attitude of 'change the game to suit yourself' means that instead of being given the control to make your own setups, it instead encourages cheats or indeed gives them a platform to test their cheats in without being seen, in the interest of this game which I pay money for I'd rather see H2H stopped.

err how are you going to know if your unlimited ammo cheat worked if your already in a unlimited ammo eniviroment...

second the free hth idea simply keeps people who cant afford to pay in the game until they can afford to pay (as long as they occasionally get to see how good the MA is) i know of at least 5 people who used to be avid hth flyers switch to MA after the recent free trial...

third hth does not spawn cheaters because of the simple fact that the caliber of gameplay and fights is low enough that you dont need to resort to cheating to get good...kind of like learning c++ to get past level one of a game when all you have to do is spend a few weeks playing to get good enough

fourth...some people are pretty retarded...they think there so good that if you can kill them that you MUST have cheated...

as well the use of the term "cheat codes" is NOT correct in this game...there are no cheat codes to cheat you MUST change the actual game codes/ files to actually get what you want...

fifth cheaters never prosper...they come in they cheat they think the game is lame because it was to easy or whatever and they leave...cheaters (in other games) rarely last very long they either get caught and banned or leave themselves...

The only time I've been acused of being a cheater was in AW by none other than 6Guns. We were both in F6Fs and were in a turn fight on top of the waves. I finally got the advantage after doing a few low yo's and shot him down. He immediately got on Ch1 and threw out his acusations. I really relished in it because I was a real rookie at the time.
     On another note, I was playing in a pool tounament once and pulled this nearly impossible shot on the 8-ball to win a match against an opponent that was really good. He tried to make the same shot over and over and couldn't do it. The tournament director finally told him to stop whining and get off the table.
