I don't see how anyone, even modern Germans, can have an issue with shooting down an aircraft with a swastika painted on the side.

Actually, German politics and law is the reason why we can't have the swastika on the Luftwaffe planes in BoP or in any other game that is to be released in Germany. So kind of a bad example but I see your point too.

That reminds of I think Battlefield 1942. Instead of the Nazi swastika as the icon for the German forces, it is the German Empire flag, which is not banned in Germany. I hope the Taliban flag is in the game.

Somehow I don't think the Taliban will be featuring in this game.

I think the taliban flag is one we'd all like to shoot at.

that i highly doubt you will see. any developer or publisher would be insane to included the actual symbol of an extremist group in their game for players to trash. these groups have no sense of humor and when offended they seek violent retaliation as punishment. nope, you dont poke the cat....pope feeds them on occasion but that is a complete other story . you do this and one day a fan would walk into the lobby of the company seeking to get an autograph on his copy of the game...the author obliges and KaBoom! sad state of affairs this world is having to walk through.

They give all Muslim people a bad name, so much for their Jihad.

Training mode in BoP is good but the AI isn't very challenging. And playing the campaign over and over again has gotten boring. The only thing left keeping many people playing it is MP. If A:AA doesn't have this on a later patch, it had better be cheap for low length of play.

[bobbysocks]

I agree with you there. MP is the only reason BoP is as successful as it is. it will be interesting to see how this coop in A:AA works out. might surprise all of us. and then again as players we can always bastardize the senario ...disregard the mission and DF each other...lol. if it can happen...it will.

Well As a long time gamer and flightsim nut I must say this game has the potential to be epic . It's been a long time since a decent ground attack chopper game came out and for console to boot . The graphics are step up from BOP add to the fact that on line will be co-op with custom skins . plus play back feature ... I am speechless . Interestingly some of the bugs from Daggor game play engine seem to persist in demo as they did BOP. @ 60 Bucks this is a must buy

This reminds me of LHX Attack for the old Genis

[Korsakov829]

The play back feature is pretty neat. Something that would have been interesting to see in BoP.

Yep. And It will be known as Blue on Blue co-op mode.
