Title: New AH commercial?
Post by: B4Buster on November 21, 2009, 07:10:39 AM
Saw a commercial I had not seen before. HTC, did you guys make a new one? I thought it was pretty cool, especially liked the AH logo getting shot up at the end.

Saw that yesterday as well.

Was an "ok" commercial all in all but my fav. part was at the end when they shotup the logo.  I thought that was an excellent touch.

There was some newbie in the MidWar arena yesterday that said he signed up for his free trial after seeing that commercial while he was watching Dogfights, or some such TV show. That commercial brought in at least one new player.

Was either History or History International channel that I saw it on.

I THINK I saw it on History Channel yesterday when Battle 360 was on.

Could have been Dogfights though.

@ early afternoon is when I saw it.

I's think twice about that, squeakers aren't the most respectful players.

Me too, but they said they remember seeing the old shot up logo. Unless they are bringing it back for temporary use.

I remember one from like 2002/2003 and it had like a desert map with a huge ground war going on and this P40E flying around and dropped a 500 pound bomb on a tiger. That commercial got me started and this is when it was AH1.

Saw the old one (the one that spikes posted) today during WWII in HD on the History Channel.  I was glad to see it, but would have liked them to at least redo that commercial.  It just looks to old, and I know they can make it look better for a commercial.

Have you seen what WWII air combat footage looks like? It looks old like the commercial does. Very appropriate IMO. :headscratch:

He means it's using an old version of the game. Looks like 2006 or 7, two terrain updates ago. They should do a new one showcasing the new animated water and shadowing system.

The comerical that youre talking about made me download aces high in early 2008 when I was watching modern marvels.

I downloaded it and happened to have a Microsoft Sidewinder laying around from when I used to play Top Gun.

I did 1 sortie as a 2 weeker and got hoed by a KI-84. I was in a c205 with 7.7mm loadout.

I preceeded to play offline mode and quit playing the game altogether when GTA IV came out.

About a year later I got into the game again and thought about the online game and the KI.

I flew for 3 weeks untill I found some poor KI floating afk. I opened up with my c205 and rammed him. Still got the kill and got hooked to the game...

Oh right, the comerical! It made me play AH.

Yep saw this too. I found out about Aces High from a commercial back in 2002 I think, back when it was AH 1.

New commercial or just new media buy, it seems to be working.  Lot of new players on today.

I'd assume the old commercial is just a 'different' fill in until they make a new one...

I think I was watching Dogfights on History and saw commercial for History.com. Their dogfights game sucked pretty bad so I Googled online air combat games and AHII was one of the sites to look at. That was 2-1/2 yrs or so ago and I've been hooked ever since.   
 
   :salute to HTC for a wonderful game.

The one I saw yesterday was the old commercial with "Coach" doing the voiceover and the action from the planes flying around in circles.
