Back in late Spring of 2007, there was a clandestine meeting between the senior members of S.A.P.P. and the senior management of HiTech Creations.  At this meeting it was decided that we were going to pick one player's name out of a hat and mess with them.

Unfortunately for you, Viper65th was the name we picked.  Then we had to decide what we're going to do.  At first, we tossed around the idea of signing you up for a lot of spam but it just wasn't funny enough.

Fortunately, CorkyJr has a real good mean streak in him and came up with the idea of hitting a Squeaker where it hurts them the most.  I objected as it might not look good for a group of grown men going around and kicking some 13 year old in the nuts but CorkyJr explain that he meant the H2H arenas.

HiTech really liked this idea as it was a natural progression of our neferious plans for world domination.  After staging some "incidents" in the H2H rooms, we pulled the plug on the H2H rooms and celebrated by having a couple of platters of buffalo wings at Hooters.

Of course, you didn't hear this from me.

Now, compare that much effort to a Search of "Eight Player Is Closed" and the answer just jumps out at you near the top of the results page.

Just saying, asking is one thing, looking produces better results, as well as having the answer right in front of you instead of waiting for some one to answer.

I won't use that word, but basically in a nutshell, yes.

then the H2H forum went out of control, and there was tons of time spent moderating that, along with the wild allegations flying about anything and everything... drama queens abounded. HTC got fed up, and yank.

H2H was a great part of Aces High.  I always used it as a way to "warm-up" and when I wanted to try out a plane I didn't fly much, etc.  Sometimes I had so much fun in H2H that I never even made it to the MA that night.  I miss it a great deal.  Our squad used to use H2H for training and it was some of the best fun I've had in AH.  

However, in the last year or so, H2H really began to erode.  It was filled with a bunch of idiots that could not control either their language or their emotions.  I was glad when HTC shut the thing down but I was and still am FURIOUS at the morons that destroyed one of the best parts of AH.

H2H was falf of my fun even being a subscriber. Very often, before going in MA, I still try the h2h hoping it is up again!! I'm pissed. Things I used to do in h2h I can't ever do in ma or DA or..forget TA. I learned to fight in the h2h.
Come on, put it back for subscribers at least.

Question, why isn't the DA as fun as it was in the 8 player? How can we make it so?

DA pretty much sucks in most cases, It's nothing more than the same crap as the MA's on a smaller scale.

If you are lucky, you can log in to find some players that have actual respect for good 1 on 1 fights, but that seems pretty rare. In most cases it seems the only action  in the DA, is at the furball area. That area is pretty much full of nothing but the typical gang tards and noobs.

I wish HTC would give paying subscribers the option for H2H, maybe then it might be possiabe to find a good fight. The MA's have deteriated to the point that I'm about to just throw in the towel with this game.

Trying to find an actual fight in the MA anymore is pretty much a joke. It's nothing but dweebs that run away and gangtards.

Just wondering....what were these "things" that claim you could do in h2h that you can't ever do in the MA, DA, or TA?

In my experience, the best way to find a good fight is to go to the DA and ask if anyone wants to duel.  If yes, choose a base and see if it will be a good fight.  Usually it is.  

If nobody answers in the DA, go to one of the MA's and type on 200 asking if anyone would like to DA.  I almost always get a taker and 99% of the time the person is worth fighting.

Nope, I search for a map Before I go somewhere, so I Don't get lost.  Care to try again?

Ever heard of the old saying, if you give a man a fish he eats for a day, if you teach a man to fish he eats for life?

Yes, I could have simply answered, but I bet this guy and possibly a few more new guys look at the search button now.

And you, as a prior example, contributed what towards furthering his education?

ok what if your already on the road..... Then do you ask for help?......
or do search for the nearest computer so you can google your question and maintain your "I google my questions before i ask them" attitude?

Do you answer all questions in this manner? man it must be tough to ask whats for dinner

I just fail to see what the big deal is with just answering a question.

Do I ask for help if I have a map in my car and don't know how to unfold it?  Would I be offended if someone showed me how to use the map?

Keep em coming :)

Face it, you can answer a question by showing someone how to Get to the answer.  I teach that to my daughter every day.  She get's calls from her friends about homework, and by gosh and by golly she doesn't answer the question, she shows her friends how to Get the answer.

11 years old, has a better grasp on this concept that some seem to have.

I am not a proponent of spoon feeding people.  

I don't ask what's for dinner, I don't live with mommy.

I know you fail to see what the big deal is, I don't see what the big deal is either.  :)

Dont ever ask a question around here then ROC ....That search function should answer all your questions then.

Is it so hard to just answer a question outright?

Also type out "why did they take away the free 8 player mode"

and see the search results.

So much for your almighty search function
