Yeah man... and... WW2Ol will have multiple servers forming a real time recreation of World War 2 running 24/7 when it's released... And B17-2 is supposed to have Multi-Player too when it's released, and since B17-2 was built around the mutli-player aspect it will simply rock!

Cleaner,
I expect regular updates on our private squad forum, comrade ;)
-
How come the same couple of guys are so quick to criticize anything new besides AH? Are you guys afraid everybody will go off and leave you all alone? :)
If people find another game they enjoy more, they're going to leave regardless of what you say...no matter the great power of influence over others you believe you possess. :)

I'm not criticizing anything, IL2 looks great. Offline I'm sure it's gonna be a blast, that's what I look forward to (a good solid campaign for once... haven't had one of those since... AOTP!!)... but to assume that it will have an excellent MMP interface, well I can point at past examples that thought that too.

In addition to the Beta-news, two new videos was just put up on Sim-Arena's IL-2 page:

Listened via RW on some testing yesterday and must say from what I heard that IL-2 will kick competition and HARD!And not to forget the green face I had listening to all the praise when couldn't play it myself.September will relieve us from pain,demo is then released(latest info from BB Forum).

past examples?
don't think these guys ever did anything else.
if ur talking bout wb or ah which are the only other past examples of true mmp, the 32 player vers is as good as any of them.
nothin stopping 200 player vers except a sever with badnwidth. there's a secret in the files that tells a lot but it lets just wait and see. ;)
sw... not sure why u and a few others here are always bashin on everybody and evrything with this contol freak stuff. :(
sorry thats the rest of us aren't as smart as you or have any opinions of our own. :D
maybe we shud all just shudup and let you post opinoins for all of us. ;)
anyway... Il-2 is stable, fun, high fps, excellent fm's and generally a great game and nothin like the junk that u might be referring to.
if u and a lot of fans don;t want to here bout somethin new that might (note might) be better than ah, then i understand that but at least pretend to be a little objective.

You obviously didn't bother to read anything I said... Offline I'm sure it will be great. I guess the 32player servers will be fun too (although that's a limited experience)..
However, 32player servers is a lot easier to code for and track than 100, 200, 300 or 400 people servers. Which is my point, it may work fine now, but you shouldn't speculate about something they currently don't even have working. (large player servers)
How does the 32player format work on 56Ks anyway?

Dunno.. could be that we are tired of seeing the same couple of guys come to the Aces High general forum and post about other sims and how great they are... er... will be.
past examples? don't think these guys ever did anything else.
LOL! I'm quite sure he meant past beta releases in general.. you know.. the way he cited 2 different sims? The way he could have cited another 10 just from the past 3 years? Kinda boils down to "beta does not an mmp game make".
if ur talking bout wb or ah which are the only other past examples of true mmp, the 32 player vers is as good as any of them.
Don't you mean "will be as good...." Kinda think that's the whole point. Most are still waiting for the standard rhetoric from beta testors to actually be true.
nothin stopping 200 player vers except a sever with badnwidth.
Um.. how about client bandwidth? If you're saying doing a 32 player game is no different than a 200 player game... wow... might as well stop there.
sw... not sure why u and a few others here are always bashin on everybody and evrything with this contol freak stuff.
1. Who did he bash?
2. Who did he tell what to do?
if u and a lot of fans don;t want to here bout somethin new that might (note might) be better than ah, then i understand that but at least pretend to be a little objective.
I love hearing about new stuff... but would apreciate it if it stayed in the O'CLUB. It seems to be such an impossible concept for some to grasp... but this isn't the forum where this should be posted.

Also, they aren't supposed to be telling us much.. well really anything at all since they are under NDAs... so I'm not quite sure WHY they are posting anything here about IL2...
I mean it's nice that you all think it's such a great game already and that it has.. heh... potential to be the best thing on the market, but aren't you supposed to be.. uhm... you know... kinda... beta TESTING the software?
Or are you just playing to have fun and don't really care about actually finding bugs unless they happen to pop up inadvertantly while you are playing?

predictable :(
always same bunch.
it does wear thin after a while. :D
sorry for respnding to your thread cleaner.
-
Could it be that they are beta testing real hard and searching diligently for bugs and finding few?
Could it be that a beta looks more like a well done demo than a beta?
I wonder?
-
What's the matter? Distorting what someone says so it suits your mood and hiding behind a handle other than what you are commonly known as is easy... but when you get called out and are handed the truth you simply back away?
I'm sorry you even bother typing.

I'm sure that's it Sunchaser. The only person that I'm directing my comments towards are that Checksix person.

Beta testing sucks, peroid.
Boy do I wish HTC would expand their airfields graphics to give them a feeling of size and large area.
They just don't have the massive feel a real airport does.
IL2 appears to have it nailed-

I have a feeling it's another gameplay concession... I mean our "large" airfields are pretty big, but since everything is so clustered it appears to be very small.
BTW Creamo, did you notice something about those 109s?
Other than the fact they are gay LimpWristed LeatherWearing LispWaffle planes... One of them has a 3 and the other has a 4.. I read sometime back that each aircraft in formation has it's unqiue number (wonder about colors though)... that seems pretty cool to me.
-SW

Ah just 2 more to show the scope and size of the airfields. They pull it off nicley...

Oh, and I thought it was odd they have a baseball field diamond with all the bases on the tail...yes.

Wow that looks cool, but don't you feel its kinda rude using AH servers and / or resources to advertise a competing product :D

It's not a competing product Zygote.
AH has a lot of things that IL2 does not nor will it ever offer.

Checksix.. your contributions to this forum from the last month:
glad i stayed htoh (btw..thanks for that freebie ht) after trial but i think i'll wait for somethin else for pay for play or wait till online here gets down to 10 bucks like evreryone else.
lots of reasons maybe
1/ summer is here for many who want to be outside with family. will get better in fall
2/ wwiiol is out and lots of people packing into it to see what its like. (yuk, but has potential. about 6-8 months too early. still a beta)
3/ il-2 beta in process and lots if new guys being added. this ones a real winner and going to get a lot of business at 32 players but when mmp is put in its going to be the wwii online sim imo. cfs3 is also coming out in mmp format.
4. targhet korea are up to something with their close beta. i think they;'re adding tons of new people which might be drawin lots from here, don't know. this one looks pretty exciting and could be the hit of next year
just look at the names of the bunch who turned them off.
did that after they discovered fast they'd still be 1's after another 3,000 posts.

like i said to hazed, i'd like to get more info on how this plays for $10 a month.
anybody want to spill the beans?

good luck..... cya somewhere online i'm sure.
hazed
ot, but maybe it will help you and others who are up tight. if these guys are half as good as i've heard from beta testrs, then it may be the sim that gives you all your looking for at a terrrific price!
chekc out these threads and read up on this thing. ask them if they'll do what u want from a sim game. there's guys developing wwii and ww1 stuff besides the korean planes. it could be a real sleeper that finally adds real strategy to online flight simmin.

Do you do anything other than criticize members of this community and plug other games? Why do you even stop by?

i stop by cause i thought i was allowed to participate here since i play a lot of head to head but would sign up if the price was lower.
didn't see any of your cutnpaste posts where i thanked ah many times for letting me play free in head to head cause i couldn't afford $360 a year bein on disability. thats not an excuse but i'm not rich guy like you who can sit in an office all day gettin paid for not working cept to sit and watch this board all day, just to be ignorant and controllin of people with your fancy postings.
deja .... your one sick puppy. :(

Checksix,
You come here to criticize the community and the game. You come here to promote other games. When you thank HTC for the game, you do so when pointing out you are not about to pay $30/month for it.
As for the evaluation on what I do all day, and your status... that is just you being you. Criticize away... just take the time to read your own posts once in a while.
And I posted EVERY post of yours from the past month... not selected ones.
