Hey guys,
Well, today I bought RoF:ICE from Amazon.com's instant digital download in the games section. Well, first a little background.
Last week I purchased IL-2:CloD. Being a long time simmer and fan of the game, I was incredibly disappointed in what was released. After several days tinkering with the game, I decided to put it up and wait for whatever miracle patch would make this thing semi-playable. Last year I tried the RoF demo. Most of my two weeks was spent trying to figure out how to map the controls, trying to figure out the gunnery, and generally get it working on my system. Well, the two weeks expired and I left the demo on my HD for months. In wanting to get back into flight sims again, I purchased the ICE pack today.
Um....holy friggin' smolies! Man, I haven't had this much fun in ages!
After tinkering with it for a couple of hours, I decided to give Multiplayer a shot and joined a newbie server. I can say that the folks in there were incredibly helpful. I had an absolute blast with the low-down, knife-fight furballs close to spawn. With almost everything maxed out, the sim is beautiful. I joined a server with the actual front, artillery landing in no-man's-land, and the rain from the clouds streaking across my screen brought a huge smile to my face.
Anyways, 777...great job! I understand that the sim had some issues at first, but tonight, as a customer, I had an absolute blast. Hell, I even purchased the D.VIIF as my first add-on.
It's incredibly cool to try a new sim and be so taken back and have an enjoyable experience right out of the box.
Well done guys

P.S. And many thanks to Vocatx for the kick in the pants to buy this game.
