In all seriousness though that was very intersting. The original feature set looked very good, 26 missions, 20 co-op missions and all that multiplayer stuff. Seeing it gradually get cut was pretty sad. Even the north africa missions getting cut. That the one area that may have given it a reason worth playing for us BOP players.
I really dont understand why he doesnt mention BOP though. Its bad timing releasing that game a couple of weeks afer BOP and must have been a huge factor on sales. I bought HOE but only later on when it was reduced to £15. If BOP hadnt come out I probably would have bought HOE at launch for full RRP.
He also mentions that no WW2 flying game has ever sold over 1 million copies. I thought Blazing Angels 1 had sold over 1 million?

Anyway great vid. I think I will go and play HOE again just to get to those later missions he says have variety.
I wonder if we can steal that London map and add it as DLC for BOP

yes very interesting video i myself like you dk didnt buy it i rented it from lovefilm however if BOP hadnt been realeased i to would of proberly paid top whack for it just for the london map because that was the only decent part of the game and compared to the rest of the game the map with the best graphics. Yes if BOP could steal that map it would be awesome as i really enjoyed shooting down them Heinkels at night. And yes that sack of shit Blazing Angels did sell over a million copies I dont know why though.
