Author Topic: About these bones (Read 760 times)

Don't you think it would be nice for HTC to put some meat on these bones he's been tossing us? Little screen shots are nice, but come on now. AHII is now 2 weeks (Yes I said it) past due from the time HTC said it should have been complete. As such, I would think there should be something more than a few screen shots they could show us.

In the past, we would hear news about new features and other improvements and bug fixes that would be in upcoming releases. I think by now HTC should be able to tell us a little more than "It's getting close"

I for one am tired of gnawing on table scraps. Give us the main course HTC!!!!

There's seven HTC employees. Not all of them are writing code.

HTC said they'd be releasing the beta; similar to the DX8 (?) release a while back. It's not the full meal yet.

... although I could go for a ham sammich right about now.

yes...why would he turn on the light to the oven to let us see the uncooked turkey inside when he said it would be done a hour ago...but accidently mismeasured the weight...

Cos up until you just mentioned it, we didn't even know it was a turkey. We've been kept right outta the kitchen and the extractor fan is on full blast so we don't get a whiff of it either.

Now we'd quite like to know what kinda stuffing it's got, whether it comes with peas or carrots and if there's triffle for dessert........and if not we're all going down to Pizza Hut.

P.S. Hope Funked doesn't see this thread, I'm 'kin starvin after reading that lot, Christ only knows what Funky would resort to.

[edit]: YAMS! cant forget about the sweet potatoes![/edit]

[edit edit]: **** it! HTC is making a friggin CHICKEN POT PIE! be happy![/edit edit]

New features for AHII TOD have only been briefly described in some of HTC's posts and in the interview done at the con. The TOD portion of AHII won't even be coming out with the initial release anyway, so those "new features" don't mean anything.

What I want to know is what new gameplay features will be made for the now very stale pork-and-auger, MA gameplay we have now. Honestly, if all AHII ends up being is new eye-candy and flight model, I will be extremely disapointed in the AHII concept.

There must be something being added to how the game will play that can get some new spark of interest into the MA, couse right now, MA might as well be called "Quakers Low", because one thing is for sure, there aren't any aces high when all the fights are 10k and below.

Didn't he already say that AH2: Classic is coming out first. Wouldn't classic mean what your flying in now? TOD will be the new gameplay or am I missing something?

Maybe you missed the point of my last post, Fish. Regardless of what new gameplay TOD may or may not have, the current MA gameplay also needs to be updated, classic or not.

Some updates could be:
1. Improved and corrected bomber and bomber drone damage model.
2. New fuel selection options allowing for 0-100% in 1% increments.
3. New tracer type and count options
4. New Strat system that has meaning to it (see many other posts on that topic)
5. New engine management controls
6. Addition of O2 systems in aircraft (see several posts to explain possible options)
7. Addition of cockpit lighting for nighttime operations
8. Working range-finder sights for ship guns
9. That screen shot with a fence around the factory - How's that fence work? What's it do?
10. New vox channel added
11. New VOX program that works and doesn't keep throwing people off channel or making them imposible to hear.

You might notice the recovery time to your injury will be greatly decreased in proportion to an earlier release

Here's for hoping!
