The whole point of alpha is to test the game so they can fix optimization issues and bugs, submit bug reports as you find problems. Since I am png'd (Over an issue which HTC has now backpedaled on) I can't test, but what I have seen in the videos doesn't look amazing.

I went in there and don't see a big difference. Also you get put into a mission just after you enter and then it won't let you just up and fly around. Is this how its going to be when the new version comes out?

My first impression of the different game modes so far is this. Steal the Sheep: A waste of time. It's just a silly little game mode that I don't see catching on for very long and becoming a ghost town within a week of AH3 going live. Staged Missions/Beta Arena: I'm so happy to see the Staged Missions working again. It was so much fun going into what Crabby calls "Crabbyland" and fighting 50+ enemy planes! This arena though needs someone like Crabby doing the missions. The one I joined they had a 4v4 (P-51D's vs Ki84's) and you only got 4 minutes to fight. Was super boring. This could be awesome though if they get it right. CTF: While it's no replace for the MA we have now it is somewhat interesting. I can actually see this game mode going someone if the numbers pick up again. The thing I love the most about it and I hope they install it for every arena is the ability to teamkill! No more killshooter!! If there's too many green icons around and I'm getting bored I can now declare myself enemy on range and start shooting at green planes!!!!!  It is still Alpha so there will be many bugs. I think HT himself said that the goal of the Open Alpha is to let more people in and find bugs. It's not 100% optimized yet so your PC may struggle to get good FPS. Was pretty funny how bustr was telling me and raynos last night to stop screwing around and find some bugs. The object of the Alpha is the intentionally break things to find the bugs and that's exactly what we did! We found more bugs in 5 minutes of screwing around than bustr did by playing the objective. |

It looks fair. Even optimized, its simply the old game with a glossy picture. I asked to go alpha, they said they didn't appreciate my BBS behavior so now they want help? Naaa, Ill just play and keep their bugs to myself.
Its funny how karma is a 360 degree deal isn't it?

Could somebody please confirm that the new release will still use the remaining AH1 models?

Sounds like I shouldn't even bother trying it out and I don't want 2 gigs going against my data plan at least until get hooked up on free WiFi

Not all of them have been updated yet but I doubt there will be any left behind. here's a video I did comparing AH2 to the current alpha of AH3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6KNtHrAshc |

It's a little underwhelming to be honest. The "glass" gauges and canopy scratches look pretty cool, same with the new TBM and carrier task groups. But overall it seems like a reskin of the same tired old game. Out of curiosity have you tried ditching in the water or running a PT boat? That was one of the few things I saw during AH3's development that looked amazing to me, but it doesn't look like it made it into alpha from what I saw in the film. |

I have not done any real testing with the water other than driving into it with a Jeep. It still acts the same and you just get stuck. Don't know if they're keeping it like that or they just haven't gotten to the water physics part yet. I know they're still working on water stuff like adding waves so we'll have to wait and see.

Now it looks like a game made in 2000 instead of 1990. Underwhelming doesn't even describe it.
