Title: Ground Combat
Post by: AceGec3D on June 21, 2007, 05:39:19 PM: I know this defeats the purpose of "Air Combat" but how about some better ground combat like Call Of Duty?

Incorrect. HiTech does indeed have plans to modify the base capture to allow players to assume the role of the paratroopers. Basically, the Goon or M3 would drop an infantry spawn point; players can then spawn from it, charge into the base command post which would be a multi-level underground complex; defending players could spawn inside the bunker to try to prevent the capture, fighting hand-to-hand with various infantry weapons. This from Dale's own mouth, though several years ago at a Con.

He may have said it at a con but I have never seen any HTC member talk about turning AH into a FPS.

Post by: StuB on June 22, 2007, 12:40:51 PM: Technically, it already is a FPS.

We are just doing it from inside of a air/land/sea vehicle.

As long as the overall realism does not get compromised, I wouldn't have a problem with non-vehicular combat capability.

The more paying customers, the better for all of us.

Post by: Larry on June 22, 2007, 12:47:58 PM: Nope its a WWII combat sim, or a combat fight sim but it isnt a FPS.

Post by: StuB on June 22, 2007, 01:06:36 PM: Nope.

AH is played solely in the "first person" perspective and you get to control air, land and sea vehicles and move to/from various positions within each vehicle....as well as just walk around and shoot things with a handgun. ...<--------there's your FPS part.

Not entirely accurate.......Bombers get to go to an external view. ;)

I wouldn't call AH a FPS either. FPS games are generally games like Doom, Quake etc.

Not more than one or two; it was early in the day. I was conducting an interview with him for http://www.wargamer.com. I have it on tape, and in print.
