Apache: Air Assault reviews and impressions

[bobbysocks]

Thanks Silence...i didnt know about PS3 demo ( for north america ) not being out until today so will push it to all my firends here.

Pope...i hope you are correct and there is a surprise ac or 2 for us.

Kors... they arent going to put a dirty @$$ copter in the game. they took it to the local detail shop for a complete buff and shine. i DO like the vis out of this cockpit! ( still would love a hind vs apache DF in the mountains )

i have a guy here at work who has been over to the ME a couple times. I mistakenly thought he flew apaches...he flies blackhawks. i told him about the demo and am interested to see his take on the game ( might get some flying pointers to pass on to ya ). as far as firefights... he said blackhawks and chinooks get into more S#!T because insurgents dont want to go toe to toe with an apache. they know the others are bringing troops in and arent as well armed. so when they go to land all hell breaks loose more often than not.

First episode of Frontline: Battle Machines, the chinook they're travelling in gets riddled with bullets and the pilot gets wounded in the head.

That's what my buddy was doing when he was killed in Iraq, escorting some Blackhawks with his Apache.
