Was :f5:ing for this to come up.

The first time I saw this game was on a demo disc that came with a magazine on my friend's PS2 back in the day. That briefing music has stuck with me ever since as one of my favourite tracks in the series.

Maybe not the best AC game in gameplay, but it's my favourite of the bunch.

So do we start the blood feud about whether AC4 or AC5 is better now or later?

Nah, no need for that I think.
AC5 is probably better, all things considered, but I like AC4 better overall, by a little.
They're both pretty great games.

That is still the bomber mission though. The AC-130 mission only has you in the gunner seat throughout the whole thing.

That's the most boring AC130 video I've ever seen. Is that the original (lack of) music as well?

That's from asteroid naming conventions. I think it got mentioned earlier in a different thread, but 1994 is when it was discovered, and XF04 is something else I forget.

The X means it was discovered in the first half of December. F04 means it was the 106th object identified in that period (although I believe in reality it would've just been 1994XF4 without the 0 again).

The cargo plane that landed on a carrier was a C-130 back in 1963. IIRC they were considering using it for replenishment rather than the tiny C-1s they normally used.
Obviously that didn't go anywhere, and the navy chose a cargo variant of the E-2 Hawkeye, the C-2 Greyhound, instead.

There's a couple of videos around showing the landings. I chose the one with the most 60's voice.

Also, IFF won't really prevent you shooting someone. Exactly how it works is pretty well classified, but in any case you can just turn it off and it can't do anything.

I love the Mobius squadron intro.

E: Was this the mission where you got different voice clips if you down the Yellows in a particular order?
