Looking at that review winny it mentions no MP modes at all other than the cop op, though it DOES mention this -

"And finally, there’s also a Free Flight mode where you can customize your own sandbox, choosing the enemies and weather and then just going for ultra-destruction".

This is mentioned in the MP area of the review, but if im honest with myself it sounds like it could just be an advanced version of the single player on IL2 where you can set your own mission parameters up.

Yep this is what I remember reading... I wouldn't sweat it guys I'm sure there is a Multiplayer.

Thanks for finding that. That is one thing I posted earlier that I hope they do. This would mean never ending gameplay with a simple mission builder which BOP really needed.

Funny how some of this stuff we asked for in BOP and Anton was listening. It looks like he is applying what we wanted to this game. "Mission builder, adding decals to the chopper" just two of them many things

I'm sure I read somewhere that there was a DM/TB with 4 a side, but I might have made it up.

"There will also be support for online multiplayer matches of Team Deathmatch, Ground Attack, Capture the LZ, and Ground Strike."

I remember that too, and capture the LZ as well. Damned if I can find the articles now.
If there is no versus I hope the co-op missions have friendly fire on option for the cannons. I am sure we can sort out something that way but i think this is all a misunderstanding by Gamesradar

i believe you are limited IF you want to have 2 players...a pilot and a gunner per copter. but online play was 1 person per machine..you didnt have the option of a crew of 2.

The new medal of honor game has a great apache level. You are front seat with no control over the chopper but it's an amazing ride. At one point you hover and go into Flir and it's just like that YouTube vid Bobby posted. Almost feel sorry for the poor guys after you fire the cannon. A second or so later they are vaporized. Worth £35 just for that one level for me

It's really nice to see that they are implementing some of the things into Apache Air Assault that people on the forum recommended for BOP (especially the mission editor ) Makes me feel good that these devs have taken feedback from the forum and gives me hope that maybe someday they will make a sequel to BOP that lives up to what I had wished for out of the original, not that I don't love the game as is, it is really the only PS3 game I play but there is certainly room for improvement and maybe Apache Air Assault will provide some insight into what can be expected out of a future installment to the franchise. I know I will purchase just to support Gaijin, but with my real game passion being WWII flight sims maybe I will just tape a pic of a spitfire cockpit my tv .

Well thats just what any cannon does. Check out a ship mounted 30mm gatling gun. Anybody who can afford the ammo for it would put it on the top of his list.
