Stuff a control socket in your sack and you can fly with it it too.
That being said, we are little over 2 months away from aerial combat-bliss. _________________ <(@_@<), <(@_@)>, (>@_@)>, <(@_@)>, <(@_~)>, <(@_@)>, <(@_@<)

Alright, new(ish) info coming in. At the bottom of this post is a press release from Namco regarding the online/multiplayer modes for "Ace Combat 6: The Fires of Liberation", of which details have been scarce up to this point. And seeing how they had never implemented such a mode in the previous games we have been without a precedent to base our expectations off of.
For more specific details (as specific as a corporate press release gets at least) go ahead and read the release from Namco further down. First though, the lazy man's quick summary:
New Online Modes:
-Battle Royale: 16 player free-for-all
-Team Battle: Up 16 players forming 2 teams to fight it out
-Siege Battle: 2 teams of up to 4 players take turns attacking/defending various land/sea/air objectives with the team with the fastest time claiming victory
-Co-op Battle: Up to 4 players taking on a selection of missions against AI controlled opponents
Besides these modes a online leaderboard system was announced with victories/kills awarding points which can confer special titles on pilots, The top 100 will acquire special 1 of a kind titles.
Downloadable Content announced for "Ace Combat 6":
-New Color Schemes: Ranging from "authentic" to silly. Some are purported to confer different flight characteristics to craft. Good for Single and Online play
-Super Hard Missions: Self-explanatory. If you love pain/seeing yourself explode, inquire within
-Additional Multiplayer Stages: For both Vs. and Co-op Play.
No mention of cost/pack layouts was made so it could either end up with some of the stuff getting unlocked via point accumulation (if only..) or the more likely Microsoft Point expenditure. As soon as I hear anything I'll relay it here. Full press release follows:
NAMCO BANDAI GAMES REVEALS NEW ONLINE GAMEPLAY DETAILS AND ASSETS FOR ACE COMBAT 6: FIRES OF LIBERATION
NAMCO BANDAI Games today released new assets and gameplay details on the online modes featured in its upcoming flight action game for the Xbox 360, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. From heated winner-takes-all dogfights to strategic objective-based missions with full leaderboard and stat-tracking functionality, the game lets up to 16 players test their cockpit skills against other gamers from around the world in four unique modes of play via the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network.
Ace Combat 6 features the following online multiplayer modes:
- Battle Royale: Dodge missiles, blast your opponents and hit the throttle in this frenetic free-for-all battle! Up to 16 players can participate in Battle Royale mode, with the pilot with the highest score at the end of play taking first place.
- Team Battle: Put your teamwork to the test as you try to out-maneuver and out-shoot opposing squadrons controlled by other players. Choose from the game's variety of authentic licensed aircraft to choose the perfect combination of speed, durability, and firepower for your team. Up to 16 players total can play as up to two different squadrons to see who rules the skies in this test of aerial tactics.
- Siege Battle: Two teams of up to four players each take turns assaulting and defending a variety of land, sea, and air-based targets in this original online mode. The team that is able to divide and conquer, clearing the targets in the shortest amount of time, will become the winner.
- Co-op Battle: Up to four players can compete against computer-controlled enemies in a selection of cooperative missions. Use teamwork, superior firepower, and your ferocious fighting sprit to dominate the skies and complete the mission as quickly as possible.

As they get more points and climb up the game's online leaderboards, players will earn unique titles that signify their prowess with the game, with the top 100 ranked players acquiring one-of-a-kind titles to honor their incredible online achievements.
In addition to online play, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation supports a wide variety of downloadable content that lets players customize their play experience and enjoy the game long after they have completed the title's single player story mode.
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation supports the following downloadable content:
- New Color Schemes: From authentic military designs to fun and original patterns, players will be able to customize their plane with a wide variety of downloadable color schemes that can be used across the game's single-player and multiplayer modes. Some color schemes include special aircraft parameters for that extra edge. These color schemes can be used to strike fear into opponents or coordinate with other players in online squadrons.
- Super-High Difficulty Missions: Gamers that have mastered every aspect of the game will be able to download all-new missions that are extremely difficult and feature new enemy types that aren't found anywhere else in the game. The pilot that can complete these missions is truly an Ace among Aces!

This trailer contains larger skirmishes, more story/characters, and quite a few "Macross"-level missile blossoms. At present we're just a month away. I'll have fun with "Halo 3" but this is /so/ what I'm really looking forward to. _________________ <(@_@<), <(@_@)>, (>@_@)>, <(@_@)>, <(@_~)>, <(@_@)>, <(@_@<)
