First i want a great story.
Second good game play.
thirdly I'd like to make the decisions
as in.

I'd like to make my own call-sign.
I'd like to be able to choose the plane i want to use through-out.
I'd also like to customize my plane. ( no PAID for **** if you can help it.)
I'd like to chose weapon load- outs. with real world consequences if i load up 4 missile and 8 rockets. then i better use them sparingly or be prepared to go all gun fighter for the last dog fights.

if any one can remember the game colony wars. id like a feel more like that... only modern not scifi.

i'd like at least 2 player splitscreen co-op.
and co-op online of course.

i'd like regular mulitplayer modes.
free- for-all
team- pairs ( wingman) vs other teams of 2 planes.
and larger scale.

dude, it is in the forum rules not to make posts twice. Look further down in the forums and read, there is co-op, and this post has already been made. sorry, just informing you.
