Yeah know what you mean Bobby. I tried WoP but couldn't get into it like console version. PC take too much effort to get everthing running and online. I prefer my gaming from my couch.

Did anyone watch the interview on the vid posted earlier. The guy mentioned the countries are fictitious. I hated that in Ace Combat series and disappointed this followed that route. I know it avoids controversy but everyone knows it's meant to be Somalia and Afganistan so why bother

Bobby, I had to unhook my Xbox at the weekend but I will rig it back up tomorrow and try catch you online for a few flights. I hasn't seen any forum regulars on XBL when I have been on. Must be wrong time of day

I noticed.. And the 'helicopters have a wider turning circle than fixed wing' statement is also a bit of a give away.

$50 is £29.99. That's what I paid for BoP on release date and it deffo didn't suck. It's cheaper because it's a nich title and the release window is packed with other games.

Yeah Winny I had some fun reading that article. When he started talking about Apaches going nearly upside down I had a chuckle. Apart from that there is confirmation about the same difficulty settings as BoP which is great. Lots of scope to work through them all.
Glad there is a Hind in the game but I would swap that UAV fire scout for a little bird or Cobra in a heartbeat. I doubt very much that will be flyable in multiplayer

trk29, is it really necessary to join these threads? Not exactly a thriving forum is it? The destructoid article had heaps of news and could have warranted its own thread. Just saying..

That kind of puts everything in the review into question. Can we really fly the Hind, Cobra etc. or was he just flying a different Apache and mixed up the names.

It's cheaper because it's part of the Activision Minneapolis series of budget titles which have a tendency to reflect their cheapness in game quality. BoP was by no means a budget title.

I joined them here into one thread to keep everything about this game in one thread. I just don't want everyone creating a new thread about this game everytime news comes out about it. So yes it was necessary.

Doing this will makes things easier when someone wants to find information out about it.

I put the link you provided into the first post of this thread.

Or if you like I could just move every thread to "other topics" like I am supposed to do since it doesn't pertain to BOP. Just saying...
