Ace Combat Assault Horizon

Well, a new Ace Combat has not come out in a while. And I think most people did not mind, mainly because the sereies a little underated. Which I do not agree with, I have Ace Combat 2 and Ace Combate Skies of Deception, each is amazing. And with the new one coming out this Oct. 11, I am buying it forsure.

But now onto the gameplay, locations that have been confirmed are Miami, Washington D.C., Paris, East Africa, Middle East, Dubai, and Moscow, Tokyo and Hawaii are the downloadable content being released sometime after the real game. There have also a downloadable content with gameplay over the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, but no confirmation has been released yet (only a trailer shows an A-10 Thunderbolt flying through). The gameplay being used is CRA (close-range assault), which aims to increase intensity of the game to bring the player closer to the action. There is also DFM (dogfight mode) and ASM (air strike mode), which is optional. Visions I am excited about are the ones where you are the gunners of helicopters and AC-130's, adding this goes away from the original games, but adds something that has never been done to gaming ever. This game is also using 2 different control schemes, the original and optimum. The original is similar to expert mode in older titles, giving players full control of their plane. It also gives the player the option of using roles by using the left analog stick. While Optimum is more of the default mode/beginner mode giving more stability, which will come in most useful during CRA. There will also be auto pilot, but it is not recommended. At this time 5 squadrons are known, each is part of the 108th Task Force:
  • Warwolf Flight: An Air Force flight that is the player character's main squadron. They fly F-35B Lightning IIs, F-22 Raptors, F-15E Strike Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F/A-18 Hornets, F-14 Tomcats, A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and F-117 Nighthawks.
  • Razor Flight: An Air Force flight that flies B-2 Spirits and B-1B Lancers. It is depicted performing a bomb run over AA fire.
  • Nomad Squadron: Addressed at the beginning of the debut trailer in the desert. It consists of the group of MH-60 Black Hawks depicted in the same scene, and is a part of the US Army.
  • Shooter Squadron: Another squadron of the US Army, the Shooter squadron flies AH-64D Apache Longbows.
  • Tiger Squadron: Heard on the radio several times during the first mission. Aircraft unknown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat:_Assault_Horizon "this is the link to wiki where I got the information for the squadrons, show for copyright purposes"
At this time also 9 characters have been confirmed for the 108th Task Force, Lieutenant Colonel William Bishop, is the players character. He is the leader of the Warwolf fight.

If there is any other information you have please comment, thank
