(Sorry, somebody had to say it....)
-
Heh, I did a 4 year hitch, and even came back in the "reserves" on the off chance of getting into TOD. Probably will be to old to rejoin when it comes to life. ;)
-
uhhhhh, yeah
i still dont understand what tod is!:rolleyes:
is it like anothere ah like game or something, or is it a new part of ah??
-
stupid:D
-
Since no one else has given you a straight answer...
ToD is Tour of Duty. It is a new version of AH which will put emphasis on missions and teamwork versus the chaos that MA is now. (in a nutshell)
It'll be out in two weeks.
Oh one more thing...
STUPID!!!! :D :D (ask and ye shall receive) Just kidding of course.
-
he he he, thanks modas:lol
i still dont quite get it tho. is tod the next version of ah, or a different game?
what i mean is, will tod replace ah, because people are talking about ver 2.03?
hummm, this is hard to get out, uhhhh, is tod different to ah, or just another name for ver 2.03?

Don't sweat it, you, me and everyone else don't get it either. ToD may be another arena within the AH world but who knows? There really hasn't been much reliable informatioin coming from HiTechCreations to confirm or deny exactly what ToD will consists of. The "Two Weeks" reference came about with the anticipated release of AH2, when asked when it would be released, the common answer was of course "Two Weeks".

Heh! The "two weeks" term came to be in a land far away of years past in a game that is gone , but not forgotten.
Yes Poo, it`s a another game entirely. No, it will not replace AHII.

I don't feel like I need ToD. If people really wanted to work together all the time, we would have missions 24/7. I'm happy with scenerios which are made better with new maps and aircraft. So I don't know if I should be bothered by resources being put towards ToD when they could be elsewhere. But since so little information is available, it may turn out to be great.
-
I would never call you stupid... I'll just call you "pooface" instead =)
I think the gist of it is that noone really knows what ToD will contain, we just know its basically a mission based combat sim. I haven't seen much in the way of what it is really supposed to be like, however I think HiTech talked about it at the conference (which I didn't make it to).
As per the "2 weeks" reference, the first I heard of it is in the movie "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks and Shelly Long. It could've existed before then, and probably did, but that is the first time I heard it.
-
stoopid.
how'd i do?

TOD is like dry land... a myth

TOD is hopefully where all the War mongering, hanger killing, carrier killing, night wanting, perch sitting, 5 sector flying with no enemy, strategeryizers will all go. :rofl

As I understand it, ToD isn't actually so much as another game, but a specialized application of this game.
Imagine being able to log into an arena where you are recognized by how much experience you have within that arena, and what record of success.
An arena where you don't simply choose wherever you wish to fly from and then launch whatever aircraft you want in which you may prettythang around however you like.
As in real life, you fly structured missions, in specified aircraft, as an individual within a cogent unit, as a member of a combatant element, and are evaluated both as to your success in achieving your objectives and whether or not you/your aircraft survived and RTB'ed.
That, as I understand it, is how Aces High will perform in its ToD arenas.
A VERY rudimentary version of this concept (structured missions only) was once tried at Air Warrior and in both my opinion and that of many others was a very enjoyable way to play the game.
YMMV ;)
culero (eagerly awaits ToD)

PS.
Stupid! :D

WOW, tell us how you really feel.. :aok

HTCs vision for AH2 is to offer "two games in one" Aces High 2: Classic (what we have now) and Aces High 2: Tour of Duty.
Tour of Duty will be more of a "WW2 Online" then a "Aces High".
(Note that Im using quotes alot now so dont go into waah that game woooh bla bla bla.)
In ToD you will play a pilot through his career with either axis or allies in historical settings. Game play is mission based. HQ (Server) generates missions and counter missions for the enemy (to ensure action). Mission success is what is determinal to success and not kills.
First tour will be 8th AF vs Luftwaffe.
More can be read in an interview over at simhq.com
