S77th-GOYA Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 HL has been very quiet lately. Where is everybody? Maybe it's just summertime in the US, or people waiting for the patch. Everybody should have received their mail order copy of FC by now, shouldn't they? Maybe flying PF with the new patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I was out for a month (and a half) doing bussines in Africa. I am leaving for Europe on June 24. Will be in Canada last week of July and first week of August. Beyond that I can only guess ... In between, there's a family, house, my model airplane flying hobby and friends. Yes it is a summer and people are out looking for fun (and those mini skirts for those that are not married :)). I hope there will be more people playing later this year.

Hitman IF Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I've been playing the battlefield 2 demo for the past week.

VapoR Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Maybe alot of people are having fun flying the Su-25's, which there isn't a server online often that has them available. I jump in from time to time and check the servers out, but if they are all running bvr missions I just leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellblade Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Online LOMAC has been alive and well, I've been playing 2-3 evenings a week with Slopey, my wingman, save for the last week, which has been BF2 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a combination of things Goya, most already mentioned in this thread. For myself, it is summer here, seeing a lot of family, taking weekend trips, going to baseball games, chores, work etc. etc. What has always been fastastic about these computer games is that you can leave them for a while and then come back to them when you are ready and have the time.

coldcrew Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Battlefield demo 2. I used to run the frogfoot server (I'll be back next month promise! lol) but all my time is spent on the battlefield2 demo. It seems some lomac pilots have started playing this game cause it's getting tough flying out there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMFA-Blaze Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Personally I don't really like air quake that much anyway (LOL)...... But I've been flying the new addon to Wings Over Vietnam its called Aces Over Vietnam.... This has been developed by the community and acutually allows you to fly the Vietnam Area Migs for the Vietnameese Air Force...... The Fishbed cockpit really resembles the SU 25.... Or is it just the opposite..... Anyway you should check it out in SimHQ under the Strike Fighters/ Wings Over Vietnam forum, its nothing as detailed as Lock on but a hell of a lot of fun anyway !!!! ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet_169th Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I have noticed this too. Most of the time I get on, and there is fewer than 20 people. Maybe everyone is waiting for a patch. Or maybe they are waiting for F4:AF............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cali Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I like co-ops 1 sided or 2 sided, CAW is pretty cool but they don't fly that offen. Planning your mission is fun but you are limited in different areas, the main 1 is jets you can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Sceptre Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 HL has been very quiet lately. Where is everybody? Maybe it's just summertime in the US, or people waiting for the patch. Everybody should have received their mail order copy of FC by now, shouldn't they? Maybe flying PF with the new patch? Well, it's probably a combination of many factors, including the season. However there's also the fact that Lock On never was particularily tailored towards multiplayer and this shows in the lack of online games. Most of those who do fly online regularly seem to be doing dogfights, player vs player, and that's the only online game that works particularily well. Those of us who want to fly cooperatively need to constantly make new missions (or refly the same stale old ones) and after a while you just get fed up with the whole thing. It's been said so many times but I'll say it again: Lock On needs a more dynamic universe, and a coop campaign. Otherwise it's all Air Quake, and many of us just aren't into the whole "my missile is bigger than yours" thing. Combat flight simulation is about recreating the feeling and complexity of flying a high performance aircraft, and not about beating the crap out of your friends - although that can be fun, it's not why I enjoy flight sims. Well.. IMHO anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 "Otherwise it's all Air Quake, and many of us just aren't into the whole "my missile is bigger than yours" thing. " not nessesarily true, BVR combat involves a bit more than "air-quake", and most squads flying online are using complex comms, tactics and formation.....spamming 8 slammers on the on the other hand.......
