It's hard to explain, but you remember when Tribes used to give you those moments where shit just felt *fun* and *awesome*?
AFF does that.
I legit haven't felt this way about a game since Tribes. And I'm not even exaggerating.
It's all the fun of trying to fend off a team of dudes trying to rape your base in T1, but also your base is flying around trying to fuck up other bases while a bunch of dudes fly around with fighters killing eachother and bombing your base.
It's like being in Tribes, but also, the outside game is Homeworld.
and lol. It's so fuckin great that if you're on a huge battlecruiser and.. they batter you so much, you're going down.. it locks you out of the terminal you were at, and like, red alert alarms go off around the ship with a countdown.
So either you can salute your teammates and be like SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.. or if you're on like, a carrier, you can try and run to get to a fighter before the entire thing fucking explodes
Also if you're like me you can also just.. walk around the battlecruiser and look out the windows while everyone else is fighting
and like, fighters and bombers are zooming by and errone dying, and turrets are like chchchchchowchowchow and explosions
and you're there in FPS mode like walking by the windows watching it all happen
and you're like
wow
this..
this game is something else
