Most importantly Assault Horizon (and HAWX 2 to a certain extent back then) gave arcade flight shooter genre a very bad public impression to the point the genre's considered as a laughing stock (especially by ultra-hardcore sim communities) for several years at least until AC7 trailer shows up.

tl;dr it nearly killed the genre's interest as well.
