Title: Havent played in a long time...how does this compare to Fighter Ace?
Post by: DVDA on May 19, 2009, 07:21:15 PM
I havent played Aces High in a long time and I want to return but I came across Fighter Ace (https://fighterace.ketsujin.com//Default2.asp) and the pictures look good.

How does Fighter Ace compare to Aces High?

Anyone know how many players per arena on Fighter Ace?

How many players are on per night on Aces High?


The thing that appeals to me about Fighter Aces is there is a rank system, medals etc...kind of remains me of Air Warrior on Gamestorm

Aces High seems like the right choice considering I played it for so many years but I like trying new things :-D

Also I am alittle upset about losing all my perk points :-P

FH is for xboxers n WoWers!

On a serious note I did try it once and uninstalled it after an hour. It's impossible to like that game after playing AH. Feeels soo incredibly arcadey.

Gameplay is terrible for FA, planes are terrible, unless you only want to look at a blank screen with a cross in the middle for you to shoot. Cockpit graphics suck, but I gotta hand it to 'em, their scenarios are REALLY fun, because you don't just get one life.

For god's sake don't bother with FA..... unless you want to fight the same 3 guys all day/week/month... cuz you'll be the 4th guy.

Hi ya DVDA, MDJOE here.

Yes I'm sorry to say the Mafia has pretty much faded away  :cry

Fedj, Fryman, kpkid, and muggs65 started the "Midwest Mafia".

As for F/A, I flew there a bit a long time ago before we all moved here. The flight model sucks, and there was no community at all. You couldn't get prople to take to you, let alone get an answer for a question. If you want an arcade game go to F/A, if you want to fly a combat game, log back in to Aces High.

Give them a call tommorow at HTC, and they can hook you up with your old account if its still on the server. They DID release a lot of names that were NOT being used for a long time, so yours might be one of those they cleared.

Good luck, hope to see you up soon.... oh btw, I fly for those "nasty rooks" now  :devil

EDIT: I think Rusty's computer is down, he hasn't flown in a while.

Steve switches countries a lot, so you have just as much opportunity killing him while rook as you do while bish  :D

Doc is somewhere in Indonesia and has not played in a long time.  Most of the really old timers (DFA) from the late 90's are no longer with us.  MAYO is still actively playing and you might remember him.

Have to agree with stokes there... I tried it several times, including the beta. It was very arcadish in flying/feel/guns. Even after they started adding more to it, it never lost that "this is for ages 3-8" feel.

Yea that is more of an arcade style for the XBox bois that only have computers.

I came from The Hired Guns from FA and have never looked back. Its been 3 years know i think time flies by Bruv came about the same rime and I know we both stayed here. It is a little harder of a learning curve but you will get a lot of help here. Your money is spent better here than that washed up FA.
