I personally have no problem with PVE centered design over PVP, since almost every online PVP games eventually turn into toxic and hostile exparience.<br>We have seen a lot of successful PVE co-op games without PVP, so latest entry like ACO doing this is a right direction.

I forgot to mention these points:<br><br>1) 25% of the campaign missions require a naval aircraft on your first run. Whenever the FCU has access to air bases, you can use land-based aircraft. <br>2) The free mission selection screen shows the location of missions (like AC7), but also shows the location of your aircraft carrier, the frontlines of the war and the enemy's superweapons. It's really cool how it all changes as you scroll through the list. Won't show because of spoilers, of course.<br>3) You can only use multiple special weapons simultaneously after a certain point due to story reasons.<br>4) In some mission you don't get to pick an aircraft, you just continue using the one from previous mission.

This honestly looks like the best game in the series to me. We are truly fortunate to have stuck with this series for so long, especially when it came so close to being snuffed out.<br><br>A little thing to point out: you are the <i>only</i> reviewer I've seen who actually disabled the radio chatter subtitles, which I GREATLY appreciate as someone is trying to avoid spoilers. Thank you for being considerate of that!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPW4fa7n0do&t=625">10:25</a> it's really funny how one team with all the AC vet use the Morgan while the other team is using the normal aircraft

I think it's tradition at this point that the Morgan MPBM is a lag bomb

I'm genuinely expecting my GPU to fail before the end of the year because of this game.
