Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Is it just me or why do I suspect a conspiracy amongst the big mods out there to withold the release of their mods on purpose? I'm sure by now they have enough quality content to release but I'm sure that they are all waiting for October to come along and two week before the release of BF2142 we will see FH2 and PoE2 come out as a collective F-you to Dice for releasing another game so rapidly thus shortening the life of their mods.

If that's not it, then release those mods soon dammit!

LOL, yeah. Its great to work really really hard for free, outside of our normal careers, just to hold back content. BTW, most people dont really want to stick it to DICE from DEV teams, as far as I know. We are just trying to make great fun times. FH2 and POE are not the only MODs comming out that might blow some doors off, I think your about to be very very suprised if thats what your thinking.

Great looking player models FH2. The best I have seen yet, hands down, of any of the comming MODs.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

lets hope to god they get it out long bfore bf2142 comes out

I wouldnt count on it.


Which really sucks, because I want FH2 to have a big following, but its looking more and more like it will be mostly die hard fans. Its just taking too long.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

We are not making a mod to be played for two weeks, so we do not plan to release buggy betas or with unfinished content.

If we do so just to please "the audience" then the next day the forums and servers will be flooded with "oh my g0d, this full of bugs, this game sUx!" kinda crap.

And the "oh my god release before BF2142 or you die" don´t see the big drama, i don´t see someone that likes BF2142 (futuristic, arcade) enjoying a mod like FH2 (ww2, realistic), it´s pretty much like happened in the past, people that loved a mod like DC would hardly like a mod like FH, there are exceptions, but in the most people, you either like one thing, or the other, because they are so different.

I dont think that this will be the case.
The mod will stand or fall on its merits.I personally am sure that it will have a large following and yes 2142 will have some inpact on the mod´s ratings as it were but not everyone wants to play with futuristic weapons.for me 20th Century weapons are enough

LOL as i typed this someone echoed my views and beat me to it:P

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

What is the difference between a player model and a skin? So I take it that the Human Army Mod players are just re-skinned correct?

Battlefield Apocalypse released their skeleton and blood mini-mod awhile back and the models were skeletons...or or those really just skins?

I'm confused as to what is a model vs what is a skin.

The Human Army and skeleton and blood mini-mod player models look like original models to me (and new skins too).

In game jargon, a model is the geometry of an object, and the skin is the color of the surfaces. It is a little like if you had a relatively low-detail statue of a man made of gray stone, that had been painted to look like a real person. The model is like the stone that gives the whole thing a general shape, and the skin is the thin layer that adds detail and color. Without the paint, the statue would be gray and somewhat featureless.

It is really a little more complicated than this, because a complete "player model plus kit" in BF2 involves multiple models, and there are several different "layers" that can be part of a complete skin. The reason a player model is a bigger deal for most mods than a vehicle or building, is because it is much harder for most people to model a natural-looking human than an inanimate object, and because, unlike most other models, parts of the player model have to bend and stretch during animations, which can look really bad if not set up correctly.

It is a huge pain, if you do not have a lot of prior experience, which is why most mods that can get away with it are using the BF2 player models with new skins, at least for now. We would too, if we could, but unfortunately, WWII uniforms have a very different structure than modern ones.
