Be sure not to buy a computer with integrated video on the motherboard- make sure you get a separate video card.

ok im hearing that the video cards and whatever else you need to upgrade o play is $150 plus, some of us like me, dont have that much money just laying around the house, especially when im 17 and having to pay for car insurence and gas for my car.  If it is only $40 then maybe i could do it but otherwise im pretty sure i couldnt.

When AH2 comes out, AH1 will be shut down and gone FOREVER.

HT was in AH2 yesterday and mentioned AH1 will be closing "soon".  

Who knows how long 'soon' is but it answers the question if AH1 will run along with AH2.

Try crime. Burglary makes a fine career here in the UK. Make sure you do it badly and get caught and beaten or preferably shot by the irate homeowner. Get shedloads of cash in compensation for that from our poofaced government - all courtesy of me your average helpless taxpayer.

:lol      ohhh GOD, here we go again,it's warbirds all over,,they take a fun game and fudge it up by (going on to the next step)
   i played warbirds for 2 years (the 2.77) and then (someone )
came up with the idea to =make it better=and drove everyone to this game,cause of the all the upgrades they had to make to they're systems to play warbirds111
 and now they're gonna shut down the game that made them money (AH1),from what ive seen of AH11,it isnt all that and the no squad thing,its not a good idea.
        When the final release comes out,,someone put the dl addy of where to get it on here plz
     i hope AH11 lives up to everyone's expectation's

Sawman there is squads in AH2.  As of right now TOD will not have a squad based thing.

Still,,if they shut down AH1,they will loose ALOT of people

I can't help but think Sawman is right. I think I am going to lose a squdie of mine with the move to AH2. Atleast until he gets his system upgraded.
This seems to be the trend for many lately. "I just can't get AH2 to work on my system..."

Which to me is very sad because I enjoy playing with everyone on line. Even if they dont like me as a player or like what I say, they still add to my "on line" experience which is for the most part excellent.

All I can say is if you dont think you system can play AH2, give it a shot if you haven't already tried. Go and get all of the latest drivers, make sure you have DX9 and give it a try. If you have and it still wont work, keep messing around more. Anything is posible.

One thing I can say is this. My systems which I have three of, all Play AH2. And as of right now I am questioning if I will continue to play the game for reasons other than how it performs on my system. But we'll save those reasons for another time.:)

I'm quite sure there will be a drop-off as we change to AH2..... but I am equally sure that it will be short-lived as people upgrade their systems and eventually make it in.  This game is addictive; where there's a will, there's a way..... it might take time if cash is a problem, but I'm sure everyone will make it sooner or later.  :)

I find this funny. I mean, how long has HiTech been working on AH2? Last week?  hummm.  I guess this has taken everyone by surprise. Not like we've been given any time to get up to speed for the new game.   :confused:

Let's keep in mind the NEW people that will come on board because they felt, for whatever reason, AH 1 was lacking in up-to-date graphics and some sort of built in strategy. I know for a fact many current IL2 FB players are concidering it once its ready for prime time. The death knell of Warbirds is ringing, and those people won't just give up their addiction either...

Just MHO of course..
