lol, nice. One thing i'm surprised about is that the thompson is the "tommy gun" style one. With the round drum (much bugger clip capacity). I think it might make it abit unbalanced as the only real german counterpart to that is the MP40, which i think didn't have drum magazines. They should stick to using the stick magazines for the thompson.

Unless, this is a thompson for the "assault" class which has the drum mag whereas maybe other classes will get the 'normal' thompson, so it's a way of making assault better, as it's quite **** right now in BF2. I'm reading into this too much though, probably.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Stizzle, don't worry about balancing. Just play FH1 for BF1942 and you'll soon understand that FH team knows how to make the game realistic and fun at the same time.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

The drum magazine was the common one in desert, don't worry about balance, FH has experience in this, we have balanced kingtigers against poor american shermans, performing like the real counterparts. To clone features is not the FH style, there are dozens walkarounds to balance a game: numeric superiority, aviation, artillery, defensive positions, tank destroyers, diferent weapons (maybe the tommy has more bullets than a MP40 but the german HMG's are better than the allied ones), etc, etc, etc.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

This mod' should be picked up by DICE/EA and published as a retail game, it certainly looks to have the quality needed, much like Red Orchestra went retail.

Maybe in the future.

You are SO right. Imagine how great FH would be if they had access to modify parts of the actual engine code! Oh, the things they would do!

Its an inside joke, think about it and you will get it. Trauma, EA, DICE........

"Inside Joke". You're part of Trauma? Oh.. so you're part of EA? No? Hm. "Inside", how?

Everyone got what they wanted, I'm sure. When DICE offered to buy Trauma, it wasn't a trick. It was a great PR move by DICE to encourage the community to make more mods and it was a great opportunity for Frank and his team to further themselves in the industry (and gain some startup moola to do something new). All they had to do was relinquish the Trauma Studios name. Unless they are stupid, which they're not, there's no reason to think anyone got screwed there. It's not like someone made them do it at gunpoint or something.

The new Kaos Studios (same people as Trauma Studios) are working on a game for THQ now anyway. It looks like they got what they wanted (a game development studio) and so did DICE (some PR and some help).

EDIT: Also, how many great mods go unnoticed in this community? It would be awesome to see FH go from recreational modding to real game developement. They definitely have the professional sense and talent for it -- they deserve it!

Take a deep breath thier guy, I am obviously not part of Trauma, EA, or any of the above. When I say Inside joke, I am talking about people who I talk to regularly, Zinguan happens to be one of those people, were practically brothers.

I would say that it was a light hearted comment, and there might be some turth in thier some where. Of course, If you have information that the rest of us havent heard about through the same grape vines, then fill us in.

Trauma is making a new game, that anyone who is as abig a fan of DC as most of us are is well aware of, and have been for a very long time. I have been studying the UR3 engine notes for a while now to prepare development for a real game, from a team that cares about modding (KAOS).

FH makes great MODs, thats why they get more responses, love and admiration than most do, including your staff (and myself). To say that this modlight should be about getting FH a development deal, and not about even one drip of support from DICE, is kind of jumping the gun dont you think? Again, maybe you knwo all sorts of stuff that we dont.

Do you work for DICE? Oh.. so you're part of EA? No? Hm.

It's all lighthearted bro, we're just discussing. Discussing if fun :)

Sorry, I don't know what you're trying to say here.

Someone merely pointed out that it would be great if the FH team was picked up by DICE and I concurred. Then somehow a person took the point to villianize the actions taken back then and I wanted to know why.

And so I made my opinion known that from the sidelines (where we all are, no one here is affiliated with DICE/EA/Trauma/KAOS to the point where we can say that we are 100% sure of what happens) it seems that everyone went away happy and it would be nice to see FH go the same route.

Who wouldn't want them to be the guys behind future game releases?

Do you work for DICE? Oh.. so you're part of EA? No? Hm.

No, however I never implied/said that I am. I figured my smiley after that sentence would indicate silliness. I'll use this one next time, lol:

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

You're taking my comment, and [MyIS]Spetsnaz's, far too seriously, =DNC=SySeX73. I just said that I think (me, no one else, my opinion) that this could should be picked up by a publisher, and released retail. Of course, I doubt that will happen, I'd be pleasently surprised, but until that time it's all dreams, and speculation :)

Just thinking out loud. I know the Trauma studios story, I don't know the in's and out's, but it all seems a bit fishy. I'm glad they're still kicking though, making their Unreal Engine 3 game, Frontlines Warfare.
