  • So, with this update how is Arena commander now? Once in a blue moon I would download and play it, but it always seemed a little buggy. I specifically remember having issues with the flight models (fighting with the AI was a lot of ‘knife fighting’, where we would each fly at each other at high speeds, slightly damage each other, and then turn around, but maybe that was my fault).

    I also remember the missile system either straight up not working or being OP and immediately killing ships (including mine).

    Arena Commander being great is a big dream of mine. I just want to sit down and dogfight in space alot of the time. It would require significantly less work than Elite where I have to fly around and find a combat area/mission to dog fight (and in the end I only really break even b/c the cost of the ammo I was using sucks up any money I made on the contract…)





  • Well, that’s sad :(

    After the fall of the Berlin Wall Schumann said, “Only since 9 November 1989 [the date of the fall] have I felt truly free.” Even so, he continued to feel more at home in Bavaria than in his birthplace, citing old frictions with his former colleagues, and was even hesitant to visit his parents and siblings in Saxony. When he returned to East Germany after the reunification to visit his relatives, he was rejected by them. They saw him as a traitor who abandoned his family.

    On 20 June 1998, suffering from depression, he committed suicide, hanging himself in his orchard near the town of Kipfenberg in Upper Bavaria. His body was found by his wife a few hours later.[4]






  • Battlebit has been scratching this itch really well for me lately. I hope the battlefield series can make a return to form but I am not holding my breath. Shooters tend to change with the times (imagine if all games still played like the original DOOM?) and I imagine they’re going to keep changing things, but hopefully for the better.

    It’s interesting to compare Battlefield vs. Call of Duty and how the games have done in the past decade. COD is still a top seller and is doing great, Battlefield not so much. I feel like they both have iterated in ways (the newer COD games are similar to the ones I played in the early ~2010’s, but there have been some changes), but the ways COD has iterated have been better accepted. They even had a Battle Royale attached to the game (It sounds like BF was trying to do this at one point) and it was positively received as well.

    I’m still rocking my TWCS! I’m excited but not in a rush. Star Citizen still isn’t in the state I was hoping it would be and I don’t play Elite Dangerous anymore. I’m an avid DCS’er but I’ve taken a bit of a break recently. At this point, I’m not sure I’d use it enough, so I may wait a another year or so before I grab one.
