Very few..to be truthful, very few. And, ya know its appropriate that "the FEW" ( and I dont mean to disrespect those gallant boys who fought the BoB for real...far be it!!) applies to us who deeply appreciate the game. despite all the newly released games and fads we all seem meander back here and back into the skies after those thrills pass. there are threads " God, how I missed this game". Its because this IS a wonderful...awesome, like no other, game. SO, take someone new....someone who just "found" this game...share your wisdom. teach them how to rule the skies, to dance in the clouds, become the predator and not the prey .....and it will be like the first time you soared over britian, france, germany, or russia. yeah ok, its my friday & there is alcohol involved....and i havent been in a semi ass kicked rant for awhile...but all things considered my dear mates, where else in life can you impart what you know to someone and reap the enjoyment of it at the same time? only in BoP. see you in the skies lads.......

I may be banned from this board following this comment, but here goes...............I've owned this game for over 12 months and have not played a single mission..................................... there are reasons for it, mainly due to having 2 young childern and a very busy work schedule but rare gaming spare time has usually been spent playing less intensive games such as BFBC2 online. I'm a bad person I know but it's rather easy to throw the disc and and squeeze out a few quick MP games.

My 2011 NY resolution is to dust off the ACE combat sticks and fire this beast up. Once I've got my head around it I'm going to get some online flights going should there be a few flyers out there. If so, please be gentle if you see Mizwa (fumbling through the 360 skys) and I look forward to receiving some expert tutelage.
