I've heard someone mention that AW4 was being released by EA soon. Is there any truth to that? I'm just curious because I'm wondering if it is true, how many people would be left in AH and whether I should stick with HTC.
By the way, I STILL can't kill any dweebs. :confused:

ROFL! I wouldn't hold your breath! That rumour has been flying around since December 7 2001. Give it up, AW died then and it's not coming back. I really don't think it would have a big impact on AH even if EA did manage to cobble up an AW4 - I know which company I trust the most! :aok

FYI, here (http://www.lodestonegames.com/Company/company.html) is where many of those programers are now.

If I remember correctly, Lodestone was recently (within the past month) shut down.

I was really disappointed to hear about that, especially after the hard work they did in Planetside. It's a shame that SOE had to cancel the game they had commissioned Lodestone to make.

It's true...AW4 is coming.
I'm writing the programming code for it with pencil and paper 'cuz I don't know how to type, yet. But, it's coming... :)

what did they cancel?
the car game on their site?
-
Don't know which game it was, it only mentioned an undisclosed game but I'm guessing Car Wars was it. Too bad as it looked like it would have been really fun.

Air Warrior 4? Vietnam? hmmmmmm......

Note the date EA closed AW. :mad: Yet another reason I will
not buy any EA products.

They could have at least waited til Christmas, which would have been a much more acceptable date.
LOL ... sorry ... it was doubtful that the date was selected because of it's historical significance. You give the EA suits WAY too much credit there. ;)

WOO HOO ! AW 4 ! I will sign up in a flash ...........

EA had an online car game. "Motor City Online" . They cancelled it after a couple of years.
After AW III, I try my best to avoid any EA product.
In the end, It worked out for the best anyway.
-
i happened to have an old hard drive laying around which i was thinking at the time to install a linux distro on to try it out (windows dweeb) before formatting the old drive i noticed aw was still installed on it. i loaded it up and went offline.
even though i havnt played that game in forever, i still managed to remember most of the important controls.
it was sad in a way, to revisit it

No, the Vietnam idea was dropped long before the death of AW. Never fancied the jets myself anyway (those look good though). :)

Is this true? If so is there any website for AW4? I didn't see it on EA...I have a demo for AW4 that Snail sent me last night, he said he got it from Mage a long time ago...Anyway, let me know whats goin on, AW4 sounds good :)
-
"Is this true?"
Kind of
Using a newsreader go to news.bigweek.org (choose the "general" group) and make a post with this line the subject line
"MAGE! Give me AW4 beta access NOW" and you'll be sent the proper replies to respond to.
Good luck. and don't take NO for an answer from the peanut gallery. They like to joke around alot.

Something wicked this way comes. ;)

If you want the key to access the old AW4 beta or have Mage email you one of the many copies of the old AW4 beta he has, you have to go to the newsgroup Westy posted and ask there.
You might also want to ask DeadDuck what the IP address of his server is that he's got the AW4 beta H2H arena set up on.
Thanks Westy :aok

It came up page not found...do you not user a browser to connect to the newsgroup?? Westy said something about a newsreader or somethin, I don't have one. I've got an AW4 but i think it's Alpha not Beta...Basicly you double click it and you start off about 5k flying a Pony with a bunch planes in front of you...

If you're using Windows Internet Explorer then use Outlook Express by clicking on the envelope on you menu taskbar then dropping down to "read news." That'll open an OE window. Click on "tools" and go down to "accounts". In the accounts window select the "add" button. Select "news." It'll ask for name (type in your nick), email address (type it in or something bogus that looks like an email address if you want to keep it private), the third window will ask for the nntp server (type in the BigWeek address there). That should have you set-up. Your OE will then show a catagory called "BigWeek". Select it then have fun going through 15 bazillion threads (unless you go back up to the toolbar - edit - "mark all read" then select -view- current view - hide read messages.
Good luck. I mean it. :D

Hrmm, sounds like alot of work...There isnt a website for AW4??? Seems weird if they are actually making it and no webpage...

http://www.airwarrior.com
They're supplementing the production and development costs with mp3, movie and music downloads as well as other games.

I followed Nef's link because I was curious to know what he was referring to..... I never for one minute believed there was any real link to AW"4".... :p (plus AW4 was not going to be "Vietnam") :)
-
No, you are correct, no real link to AW4. But a similar concept to the last work that was done in AW. :)
But I respectfully disagree with you that AW4, at least initially, was not going to be Air Warrior: Vietnam. Because I've seen some of the work (3D models and Texturing) that Kesmai was doing for AW:V before it was canceled. It was going to be the testbed for the new code and graphics engine, that would eventually have been transitioned into AW4.
Anyways Flossy, :) I personally invite you over to try out how 60's era jet combat is in an online environment (once we get in open beta). Most people have some very wrong misconceptions.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone ! :)

I'm staying with AH !!! Have you ever tried to get any tech support from EA? *nonexistant*
HTC has it happening! :aok

Yep, I was aware that it was going to be AW:V initially, but as far as I remember the idea of Vietnam was dropped before AW4 was originally shelved.

Well thanks for the invite. I'd certainly give it a try, but never been good with jets. :)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ;)

Hello flyboys and dweebs. I can't possibly believe that EA would ever release AW4. With that said, I sent CAPS the Alpha for the new air warrior that mage was working on at the time of his "corporate downsizing" at EA. If anyone is confused about the AW4 title, it was technically going to be an updated game of AW3 with alot better graphics and damage model and some different gameplay. The Vietnam era game was commonly referred to as Jet Warrior. It never got off the ground, and then again, apparently neither did any other new Air warrior updates. So we were left put out by the giant EA who has cancelled about every game its ever acquired or produced for online play. I guess they never understood the concept of customer loyalty. Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying Aces High, but I could never get into it like AW. However, you never know, so if it happens and EA does release AW4, I'll regrow my wings and see you all in the sky.
Respectfully yours,
Snail "The real one from AW" -/Snakes\-
