I think this is a new screenshot?

It's an arcade game with pickups for crying out loud.
Cons: Disappointed it has resulted in a seemingly mundane arcade shooter.
WC had a plot where I would get sucked into the game via the plot and the characters. From what it looks like, there is no plot.
Even if it doesn't have a plot, neither did Armada and Academy, and those were both great games.. especially Armada! Up until my disks fell apart from overruse I used to play Armada relentlessly.
And it was every bit as immersive as story driven WC games.

I find the opinion on Armada usually divides directly between those who have played it online and those who haven't.
I can't speak for everyone, but I lurk here a lot and only come out when someone digs up the old WC corpse to rape it a little bit. WCA looks like a fun little online shooter, but it's far from the 21st century coming of Wing Commander. Where's our first-person space combat sim? WHY have these gone out of style?Who *are* you people?
I think I lost my ARMADA disks (I also cannot find my Strike Commander disks!!! damn!)... but I'd be interested to try it out, if I can find them!
