Fixed.

Some of the trees and textures look like they're from BoP's engine. But the water reflections are new? At least I never noticed it in BoP.

It sounds an awful lot like BoP too. Arcade and Realistic settings (Sim mode wasn't even going to be in BoP originally.) Capture the LZ and Ground Strike mulitplayer modes...

Yeah, Zatoichi - sorry. Wasn't meant as to be rude or something. Was just my little frustration coming out there regarding the devs. Stupid of me to post it. They don't even read this forum.

It's OK. I wasn't really clear by what I ment in my original post.

Apparently this is a budget title from their Minneapolis series. I'll still have fun with it if it's just all external-view action but guncam/FLIR would be awesome.

Looks like I forgot to factor in using the game engine for a different game when I said inevitable sequel to BoP.

"The game will include more than 16 multi-stage missions with both air and ground operations set off the coast of Africa, the mountains of the Middle East and the jungles of Central America, according to the release.

"No games on next-gen consoles have been dedicated to helicopter combat simulation, but that is about to change this autumn", said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "Apache: Air Assault offers fun for diehard military enthusiasts and flight sim fans as well as gamers who just want to blow stuff up."

The game will include an arcade mode with easier controls, a realistic mode with more complex controls and a local co-op campaign mode. There will also be support for online multiplayer matches of Team Deathmatch, Ground Attack, Capture the LZ, and Ground Strike."

hello

thanks for the new zatoichi

For some of us, this hits pretty close to home. My best friend died while flying Apaches in "the mountains of the Middle East". Not that I'm opposed to the game, I love to see new aviation titles come to consoles. I'm just not sure if I'll be playing this one.

It also seems odd that a Russian company would base a title on the Apache. Makes me wonder where they got their technical data, and how accurate it is LoL. Helocopter flight characteristics are much more complicated than those of fixed wing aircraft. If it's so very rare to find a good game based on fixed wing combat, how good can this one be? Guess we'll find out in a few months.

did anyone find out if there is a forum for this somewhere yet?

I haven't been able to find one. The game is not even on Gaijin's website.

Since it is Gaijin it might be on the yuplay forum (haven't checked yet). That is until Activision dedicates a forum for it which will probably happen.
