Release
HiTech Creations Announces a New Revolution in Online Combat
Simulation - Aces High II: Tour of Duty
GRAPEVINE, TX – January 28, 2003 - HiTech Creations, producer of
the award winning online combat simulation Aces High, has
announced plans to launch the next generation of the game, Aces
High II: Tour of Duty, in Q3 2003. Aces High is the most popular
massively multiplayer online flight simulator on the market,
with players from over 50 countries worldwide participating in
virtual combat 24 hours a day.
Aces High II will follow-up on the award-winning Aces High with
new graphics, terrain, physics, damage, interface, and a host of
other improvements. Online play will be divided between servers
running Aces High Classic - fast paced arenas with an emphasis
on player vs. player combat - and the revolutionary new Tour of
Duty.
Tour of Duty will bring to life a new online world that combines
combat simulation and military role-playing in a historical
World War II setting. In this structured environment, players
create a persistent character who will follow a career path with
either the Axis or Allies through the course of the war. These
characters will be expressed through custom avatars and will
receive promotions and medals, or demotions and even
court-martials based upon their performance at completing
assigned missions. Tour of Duty will reward both cooperative and
competitive play.
"Aces High was originally launched in 2000 and since then we’ve
made tremendous improvements and additions through 11 updates,”
says company CEO, Dale Addink. "It’s now time for us to put our
efforts into the 2nd generation of Aces High. Our goal is not
just to improve the look and feel of the game but also to appeal
to a wider audience. Tour of Duty will attract people who are
looking for more than an online dogfight and want to take on the
role of being a combat pilot in WWII.”

II: Tour of Duty can be found at
