I did enjoy H2H for the cool maps people made. Fun to see something different once in a while.

We're alive and well.  TEShaw is still the boss.  We've lost some membership of late but the core is still intact.  We'd love to have you back.

I did not fly H2H nearly as much as i did the main arena's but there are a few things that I do kinda miss,

The different scenery, maps and games played

The ability to host rooms just for friends and where you could set certain rules.

The ability to boot jerkuff's for being jerkuff's

That you were able to hop on, find a good room quickly, play for an hour and leave satisfied in the short ammt. of time you had without being gang banged like in the DA.


I don't miss:  unlimited ammo,
 
people flying around in f3 mode firing their guns until they hit you,

smart allec kids who think they can say anything they want because no one's there to blacken their eye or filter them.


As you know, many h2h players left after it was discontinued and some others felt it was worth paying for and stayed.

Bringing back H2H for it's currant subscribers I think would be a good idea . It may even bring in some new revenue from it's old H2H's base who left mostly because they didn't like the main's. Unfortunately many others players like Papster may never return because of either budget or other problems.

Nail Hit right on head --A8tool...  I joined 2 weeks after 8-player was discontinued... I was one of the f3- view-shoot from 1.0 out. I was good too. Flew a 190, A8 back then.   Had to learn the cockpit after started paying. Had real hard time with it. Made me learn bombers and gv's first.  2 years later, I fly MA full time, and Co of fso squad..  Been very fulfilling for Tuk...  Thanks 8-player for my start....... <S>  :cool:

I too am excited about H2H returning. I am very greatful for the opportunity to get my start in H2H. Hopefully we will still be able to set rooms in a similar to the old way.

I miss lots of options from the H2H.

Like tools I miss the general atmosphere, lack of ganging and hording, booting loud mouths, and the ability to find fun even when your time was limited.

However I never minded the unlimited ammo as long as it was for spraying and praying, though I have to admit is the way I started out. Most of the people I saw used it because to keep the fight going, no need to rearm if fuel burn and ammo were set up right.

I also miss the ability to choose your room based on your preferences, like choosing between ffa(free for all) or standard game play. Many nights I was only in the mood for the ffa and remember a few times the room turned into 8 163's battling it out  :lol. While other nights I wanted more of a standard game play. Another thing I miss about the 8 player is was the fact that you had to work to take bases since you only had 4 people and teams were close to even, instead of bringing 20-30 people with you to roll over them.

My two wishes are to still allow custom maps and increase the player size to 16 or 32 if it is for subscribers only.  The BoPs currently have a squad scrimmage night every Thursday night where we fight each other and hope to challenge other squads in the future.  Right now we have to have it in the DA, where it can be spoiled by anyone, anytime.  It'd be great to have somewhere we can go and not be interfered with.  And it just wouldn't be H2H if we couldn't host our custom maps anymore. :(

That's a little before my time.  I've only been with the squad a couple of years now.
Yup, MajWoody is still with us.  Haven't seen him lately but I haven't been flying much lately either.

Would be fun to be ATC again on the airport terrain. Too bad the new version has run into a road-block.
