Re: I miss Forgotton Hope

no, they werent issuing weekly updates. it is a quite new habbit. i'm with fh form .5 times. there were months without single word, there were members missing and leaving. there were numerous problems with 3rd party things, like mercilles sounds and textures

you are very fast to draw conlusions based on nothing, and it is apparent that you.. whatever.

Ok, perhaps I was a bit overzealous. Those "months without a single word" are not something that I can recall. There was always activity there from what I remember (I've been around since wake island demo of '42).

btw just because i actualy know a lot about developing process i know, that fh2 is on the verge of failing. bf2 days are limited, work to do such big mod is enormous. modern games are 'easy' to mod. but they are very complex at the same time. typical 4friends productions are not sufficient. to make fh2 on time [ie. when anybody still cares] it would take about 30-40 developers. they dont have so many. thats why we see a trench or two once a week or two. while typical bf2 map uses about 1000 different statics. creating statics is not so exciting as doing a tiger or p51. and mod without statics is incomplete. thats why fh2 takes so long. and thats why it can fail [however i wish them all the best - fh community was one of the best ive even participated - compared only to old and private True Combat mod for q3]

so good luck fh2, but im sceptical

Valid concerns. I'm not trying to be an FH fanboy or anything, however every mod has discrepancies that need to be dealt with. The FH team knows the power of their work and there will always be talented modders willing to contribute and expand their portfolios. From what I hear, FH and POE have collaborated as well.

If you remember the drama over there during the BF:V days, you'll see that these things are temporary (the troubles, that is). Seeing as their work is so top-notch, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if they're still continuing development and not showing any signs of giving up.

Skepticism is never a bad thing because skeptics are rarely dissapointed, so forgive me if a I came off rude (I hoped the smiley would alleviate any assumptions of bitterness).

Re: I miss Forgotton Hope

FH 0.70 (BF1942) is good enough anyway. I have finally managed to have it downloaded and installed yesterday. Played an hour on a server closest to me. Not too many choices as a matter of fact. It is very good, even better than before 0.67A version.

I also see BF2 is not going too well. People are very fed up by the tank whoring and other mechanized units which lead to some imbalanced issues. I was appaulled by the rapidly dropping number of SF servers. It is a pity that players are not appreciating the good sides of the game.

I do belive that FH2 may be canned.

Re: I miss Forgotton Hope

FH2 isnt gonna be canned. They have done a lot of work on it. People getting fed up with Tank whoring etc is one of the reasons that people switch to mods.

No one plays SF because imo SF sucks. EF sucks. AF is alright. I found like 1800 servers in Vanilla.

Re: I miss Forgotton Hope

Trust me FH2 is going to be released!
Same thing as other BIG mods it takes a lot of time to make it right with no bugs no floating buildings and the skinning etc etc
Just be patient...

There a couple of bf42 FH servers, some are always populated 24/7
for example
damn priest server and
wolfgaming

Go play it.... its fun
