Title: H2H
Post by: Payed on October 30, 2008, 10:10:12 AM
It's on the way back.

The h2h-haters must be really upset now.

h2h? what is h2h?

The problem with H2H that those "haters" had was that it was free.  There's no guarantee it will be free when it's back.

H2H is the player-hosted format of AH.  Less players on custom arenas (maps, environment variables etc).

HTC said that H2H, when it is re-released, will only be available to subscribers ... "freeloaders" need not apply.

I also heard that it will happen on HTC servers, not player controlled.

Huge difference.

....maybe, but you'll have to live up to your name and pay up if you want to play. No freebies this time around. The freeloaders and griefers are the ones who got it pulled in the first place.

H2H provided the incentive for new terrain builders to test their ideas and get feedback on possible errors. Since H2H was canceled the Terrain forum has been nearly dead, and without new terrain builders you see fewer new terrains produced for any of the arenas. That's the number one reason to be happy about H2H's return.

It also provided a place for scenario and squad practice, something which is sorely missed.

If you read closely, you will notice it's the last thing Pyro mentions. Also, none of the HTC staff ever mentioned when H2H will return.

So it seems to me, the return of H2H is a lower priority at the moment.

Title: Re: H2H

So, You are so worried about this 'freeloading' issue?


The HTC should implement new subscription policy just to hail the Anti-freeloading party.

From now the newcomers must pay one month backwards as a Downloading fee. Otherwise newcomers just  'freedownloading' the installation file and have fun... for free.

The offline mission freeflyers have way too good time with well designed historical / fantasy battles with many planes. Lets bind the offline missions to the subscription too.

Happy?


Don't worry. The freeloading proof h2h will be ready after two weeks.
Title: Re: H2H
Post by: VansCrew1 on October 30, 2008, 03:21:00 PM
H2H is was suppose to be free. It gives people to play the game that cant afford to go online with it. Not every one can chip up $15 a month, thats why mostley kids are in H2H because they cant afford to play online.

Its because of SP1R1COM and a few others took it away from people. I think HTC is doing this to protect them selves. They would be able to track who's in what arena and who's doing something that there not suppose to be doing. I think it's a good idea, prevent if from happening a second time.

I am very amused how mush the anti-h2h/freeloader party trying to push me down.

So, how pistoff you really are about my topic? Baby, don't by shy now. You can do it.

But

Your comments to the post above are very interting. Wanna have a blinders? Oh! You have already... A several?!

----------------------------------------------------

I wanted to stir a pot a bit and see what's coming up.

Many same old names again with good old 'h2h freeloading' this and that BS. Those loudest "Hah! The h2h is gone for good now! Haa haa!" are way too shamed&pitsoff to post anything. I seriously need to rise my hat for them. At least once they understand to be STFU about the h2h :)

Why do people care so much about H2H being free ?

I went in one H2H arena once and I can safely say that It's 1000x less fun then the old MA was.
Title: Re: H2H

Once a freeloader always a freeloader ;)

All in all, i am happy to hear HTC reconsidering h2h, i don't care if it's subscriber based, i (and a lot of other h2h players) did not play it just because it was free.Much other things to do, and people to boot from your rooms :lol

Thank you HTC.

Personally I never was upset that h2h was free.  Actually tuck advantage of it when unemployed for 3 month.  The bit I could NEVER understand was that it was FREE.  I mean what the heck for?  HTC is in business to make some hard cash for his toil....not give a load of WWII aircraft geeks a play room.

In retail we have lose leaders.  Products sold for cost or a fraction under just to entice more shoppers who invariably buy other products...some of those products being price inflated to cove loss leader losses.

We also have spoilers.  One chain advertises product X very cheaply but another chain virtually gives the same product away in an attempt to keep customers going to the other chain.

Both of these I couldn't see working for HTC.  They may have enticed a few guys away from IL-2 or Microsoft's thingy but I'd wager less than a percent converted to the MA's as fully paid up subscribers. 

I just hope he charges folk for the h2h's so's he gets more money and develop the game further with some of the proceeds. :aok

Post by: eagl on October 30, 2008, 11:19:19 PM
One thing that was nice about "free" H2H was that a paying customer could use free shades accounts for H2H.  I have found that sometimes flying under a "throwaway" ident makes it more fun to try new things.

Maybe HTC could allow paying players to create a handful of shades accounts just for H2H...

I liked H2H even as a paying customer...instant fight with fun maps and sometimes better pings than the MA. HtHide made some crazy arenas with pillars in the middle for exemple...kindof like playing star wars with an La5  :huh

I used to leave my H2H room up while sleeping, was fun to wake up in the morning and have people still furballing in it  :aok It was a great tool for advertising, people could have some fights until they are hooked and go for the real game...but I guess everything has to be abused of nowadays.

I really don't care HOW they do it (HTH Hosting)...just DO IT. :)  I had a conversation with the "powers that be" back in Oct. of last year and he indicated that  "It is not beyond the realm of possibility we would offer 8 player to paying subscribers". SO, don't be surprised IF sometime in the "not too distant future" HTH returns in one form or another...just hope it returns before my "arthur-i-tis" prevents ANY game play:(

I could care less about H2H. I simply love how some folks try and go around jerking other people's chains....when they totally lack the strength to pull their own <insert appendage of your choice here>. Have a great day.  :devil
