Title: Why do you keep playing Aceshigh?
Post by: stealth on October 11, 2011, 04:26:29 AM
Awnser the question, the reason I've been playing all these years is first of. This is the largest flight/battle simulator of WW2 combat I've ever seen. Two, World at War mutiplayer is always hacked. Three it actually takes skill to play this game unline the MLG Pro guys on PS3 and XBOX360 espically if there playing WaW if you catch what I'm saying.

ACESHIGH RULES!!!!

Had a little to much sugar this morning.(TWUMMY ACHE   :frown:)

Post by: uptown on October 11, 2011, 12:23:02 PM
I don't know really. I guess it's because I love WW2 era aircraft and dogfighting. I've found no other place where I could hop in my chair and pretend I'm Dick Bong or Robin Olds and go blow stuff up while flying along side people from all over the world. The first time I ever logged into the main arena I heard two German guys talking to each other on range, I was hooked from that moment on.

The level of competition and game detail are great but I do wish there was more of a strategic aspect or historical goals to achieve in the game. The game does have some things I don't care for, but that's a whole different thread.

Why do you keep playing Aceshigh?..................... I'm starting to rethink it.

I loved flying with the Aces & 8's. What a great team oriented squad that was. Teamwork, Honor and Respect were our motto and we stuck to it. I really miss hanging out with a bunch of guys who liked working together but most of all got the job done 80% of the time. We stuck to a plan and rarely gave up. Unless a V base, NOE was not normally our style. We challenged ourselves and enjoyed meeting and working with other squads.  :cheers:

I am CO of a great squad. I like the MA trash talk. I love killing enemies. But none of these keep me in the game. Not even my squaddies. What keeps me going is events, FSO in particular. If it were not for me being involved authoritatively with FSO I would not be playing AH.

I keep playing cause the fundimentals of the game are rock solid, the challenge comes 100% from the other players. The game allows squads to function well, and allows single players to have fun too. Once and a while I feel like playing with a squad and it is only a matter of asking, never been told to F off. Most of all playing here is great value for 15 a month. Oh yea I like like flying for the Knits, cause they put out on the first date!!!

I flew the Swedish JA37 simulator 2 weeks ago, formerly used by Swedish Air Force.
I did quite good, considering you only saw front view, and no G-forces, managed to land twice out of 3 , with full monty realism.

To tell the truth, I'm back after about four years away, and trying to regain some lost skills.
It's like my skating... I see the play, and the mind knows what to do, but the body don't do it anymore.

I'm hoping that I'll find a home with some buddies, like the old days with the Texas Rattlesnakes back in WB days.

i play here because it's safer then  going out to a bar---i can't get into trouble here,it saves me money--i get to meet people from all over the world--or at least talk to them.meet people who was and still are in the military.i aaplaude there service and their willingness to put there lives on the line for us...feel the same way about law enforcement officers..and once in awhile get to talk to the ladies in the game.it helps me relax at the end of a stressful day,which is 5 days a week..like someone said i can quit when i want-people are always saying this game has gone downhill--i don't see it.what would they be doing if this game went away.just think for a minute--if it did..i think you would feel an emptyness--like if your best friend moved away...i didna get to play 2 weeks in a roll last year(hospital) and thats how i felt. shoot i miss my fellow squaddies that don't play anymore...i think you all would miss this game and all the people in it..even WHO/MIDWAY...even the people you cuss at ..call names--get in verbal fights with....even though we are all in different ingame countries--bishops--rooks--knights---and real countries around the world---we are all friends here. if someone attacks our game we will attack back...i love this game and i like the people that play ito answer the main question--it's the best game out there--and has thebest people in it.if you all think this is just mush,so be it. :salute
