What keeps you playing Aces High?

[outbreak]

I play for a lot of the reasons already stated

It's a great release ..kinda funny tho ..I notice some nights when I finish I am far more tense than I was when I logged on ..those classic last ditch defense fights for bases really are a blast

The fight over the Channel with Batfink the other day .. I really enjoy workin to a planes strengths and drawing the bandit into the envelope where my ride works best

It reminds me *very* much of street racing ..it 'feels' the same. Sizing up an opponent as he engages is the same feeling I used to get pullin into a parking lot ..or watching a new car pull in and seein if the driver was up to the challenge or just a talker

I also get a huge laugh outta those folks who insist on going on and on over Ch200 (ie: storch when I shot him down in the AvA the other day)
..I was rollin

Now and then I like to get into the team base capture thing and just jam on for a few hours.

It's great to be back

For me it's always been the free trip to Hawaii, the comped rooms at Diamond Head and the slavish devotion of the sex-starved beautiful groupies that HTC provides whenever my team "wins the war" and resets the arena.

To be honest... the game means alot because I spent a couple years practically growing up with most of you guys, which being one of the youngest of the group has been quite an experience. As funny as it seems AH taught me that having a more mature attitude in games is the better way to go(usually ) If you asked me this question a year ago I would have said it was the fights that keep me here and the constant  fun, now its just the laughs and occasional fights, and people.

Well Fubie I started playing when I was 16 in '99 I think as time goes along I think I've regressed somewhat

I play because I'm too lazy to get up from the computer. The game is great; but I have to disagree about ch.200 - that's the dumbest bunch of nonsense ever, I eventually just turned it off. It's the people that make this game both one of the best & worst experiences of online game play I've ever had. Some of the AHII guys regardless of country seem like really great people; others seem like they got molested as children.....How do fist fights not break out at the conventions? I know a couple of the threats I have recieved that were directed toward my family were enough to make me see red. If I ever go to one of those...I hope everyone is wearing "handle" name-tags.

On occaision, things start to click and you get that moment where you're rolling out of trouble and you can toss the visibility away because you know where he is and where he's going, and when you roll back down, he's right there 300yds in the sights... peeoooww peeooowww peooww

Play what game?

[Arcades057]

I was diggin the game for a while, but it seems that the new people are always "noobs" no matter what they offer to the discussion and the little homeschooled kids who play all day run their mouths a little too much.

I liked Air Warrior.  I'm more of a bomber guy than a fighter guy.  The targets here consist of bombing an enemy base (and then taking crap from people because you bombed the base), bombing a city or AA factory or oil refinery (and then landing the sweet 4 perks for it), or flying for hours to bomb the HQ (and then landing the sweet 10 perks for it).  I do like the GV combat with this game and that's why I've stayed as long as I have.  Spawning in tank town and hearing the Panzers and Tigers ruining the city is great and it's one of my good memories from the game.  Flying against people like Rival or Tex is also a good memory.  It's rare when there's a 1v1 or 1v2 where all sides leave feeling like it was a good fight.  Fights with Rival have always ended that way from Arcades or ME21, Rival.

I'll probably be back but for now the game just isn't fun anymore.  Maybe if there were some real strat targets (think spitfactories from AW) it'll be a reason to come back.  

But the BBS is still fun to look at sometimes.
