Hey! What's wrong with Fighter Ace?!? >
No, no, just kidding!!
Actually, I flew FA in the beta (kinda sucked with some of the bugs -- which I reported and they ignored!)
I like it because it's simple. I hate it because it's complex. Simple because there's only one thing to do: shoot the other SOBs down. Complex because you can NOT run the damn thing with 16 MB RAM... That, and because it makes everything a percentage, like ammo, fuel, etc..
It's best for a quick lark in the "easy" arenas, where there are a lot of pilots, and a lot of targets. Unfortunately, you can only fly the craft your team has, so if everybody flies those damned spits, there are too many british.
Oddly, they German craft SUCK in that game.
That, and the fact that you only get 2 craft each team.
I think of it as a "training" game (hehehe), not worth real "game" status, but good for when you're bored (plus, gotta love all those words scrolling down your chat screen
"You have hit xxxxx's wing"
"You have hit xxxxx's wing"
"You have hit xxxxx's wing"
And the final line in blue-green:
"You have downed xxxxx"
But, other than that, the only good craft in the game are the Yak, spit, hurc II, and pony.
The only time I'd get taken for a fool would be when I'm outnumbered (usually screaming for backup -- another thing I hate is no teamwork). In a Yak I cut quite the rug, when I didn't lag or crash (had details turned down, hard to judge hieght).
Lately thought, (past year) haven't flown FA. Not worth the cost after the Beta was over.
I've done WB a few times, HTH, and on some online special offers. I wanted to help in the "Dawn Aces" (stupid name
) beta, but it was too system-intensive. That, and WWI planes just SUCK
But, frankly, I don't pay regularly for games, unless you count 'Net access fees. I mostly have buy once, play many types (Tribes, XvT, XWA, etc...), unless it's a free type of game, as in a beta.
But enough about me, this post has taken enough room and rambled on enough already!! =D
