Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

This mod is gonna be crazy when it finally comes out.Mirrors will probably be overloaded for days. Oh wait, I forgot about bit-torrent. Anyway, there is no way that BF2 will die before FH2 comes. Plus it will live on for a few years after that.

Awesome update, FH team. I wonder what that new map is!!

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

BF2 is pretty much dead now. Too late guys, sorry. At least you can play against the devs of other mods like Ziggy whose own mod has pretty much become Gilligans Island in terms of population.

If u think that bf2 is dead then u must be a noob cuz bf1942 still has players playing and also bf vietnam. I heard bf2142 has spyware in it from just reading reviews and people in forums. My friend bought bf2142 and he says it not that different and when u begin playing u only get to use one gun until u rank and u can unlock more/customize.

Great work FH2 mod group. I can't to play ur guys' mod.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Hehe the same discussion after each news update and non surprisingly the same people come back to tell BF2 is dead after every update. Apparently they think that if they say it enough times it will actually come true. Well I hate to disappoint those folks but BF2 has and will have more players than BF2142.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

BF2 is not "dead" but Joker does make a good point about POE 2 that is a valid concern.

I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, as I believe POE 2 is a top notch fun modification, but the numbers are alarming.

First off I believe that FH2 will do better that POE 2 simply because it is a vastly different genre being based in the world of WW2. However, will that be enough to woo the "stats only" players from the vanilla BF2.

It's my sincerest hope that the vast majority of the BF2 community moves to these mods which promote the traditional BattleField communities w/ out the ranking system.

With POE 2 having to deal with the 1.4 patch coming out a week after it's release and losing all of it's momentum at the worst possible time, it's my belief they will never recouperate from it.

Timing is just as important as content (unfortunately). With games like ETQW's and Crysis, mod teams are going to be going against some serious competition along with the diehards that will not leave the ranking system.

POE 2 showed this problem in spades and it's my concern that the FH2 team really come out not only with new exciting content but a deployment strategy that can keep the mod growing. That means lots of servers in diverse places, constant promotional bombardment from video's to signatures.

Everyone can jump on Joker but he does have a serious point about sustainability and attendance.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

I still play FH1 to this day, since it first came out. Why shouldn't I play FH2 for that long?

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Why do people (idiots) do this in every thread?

FH2 is looking great, big suprise there

Why mention POE2 in this thread? Why keep mentioning 2142?

Better yet, why wait to reinstall bf2 till FH2 comes out. There are plenty of great mods out and comming out soon. No one is impressed with the brown nosing, and it wont make FH2 come out any wuicker. If it worked, I would join the campaign because I am also dying to try it out.

Just like DCON, and several others.

FH has everything looking perfect, and I will be on it like a fly on **** the second it drops. *feel free to ban joker anytime you want admins*

Remember the days of admins actually doing something besides enjoying the admin tag next to thier name? Nobody wants forum nazis, but for chrsit sake, get rid of the trolls!!!

The red tag under your name saying "Banned" doesnt make any sense either, I dont get that.

Exactly, these guys just can't face the facts. The statophiles will only play on ranked servers and only try a mod for a day or two until they get bored of it because its not giving them points. Look at Xbox 360, there's idiots out there playing every single game made for the system just to get achievement points, this is no different. Mods were doomed for the battlefield franchise the day EA announced a ranking system and it's only going to get worse with every new BF game they release. You can't compare the retention power of mods in games like BF1942 because it didn't have a ranking system implemented so people were more apt to try out new mods. BF2 along with its microtransaction miniboosters discourages that and that is one of the reasons FH2 will fail just like POE2 did. While I disliked POE2 for a number of gameplay reasons and thats why I stopped playing it, I know several people that refused to keep playing POE2 because they wanted to keep ranking up in BF2.

Even if POE2 implements their own ranking system its not going to attract more players, they're concerned about global rankings and thats something no mod can provide unless EA allows their mods to work with their ranking system--good luck on that. In short, BF2 is dead for mods and has been since the day it was released. Perhaps FH2 and POE2 might have had a fighting chance if they didn't wait over a year to release their mods but releasing something now with BF2142 out in stores and the statophiles firmly ingrained in the rank treadmill makes it next to impossible for your mods to succeed.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Its a shame that POE etc havent been better recieved. but joker does make a good point about the rank system being a factor and even those who say things such as " stfu n00b cuz joo dont know whats ur talking about. (mod x) rooooooles!!!!!!!!!11111oneone" cant deny this.

Plus with games like ET:QW are based on recognised engines that already have fantastic mod support. the step up to make a mod for QW over say D3 is far smaller than that of 1942 to BF2. EA/Dice havent helped the community modders and it has shown. Its a right shame that a mod as good as POE2 and , im assuming here based on FH1, FH2 will be as good as if not better than the parent game but lack the numbers to make them truly great and give us those epic 64 player rumbles of old.
