Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Looks great. Several upcoming mods look great. Getting tired of saying these mods look great and playing none of them. No I haven't a clue how to develop a mod.

- closer inspection of an actual photograph prooves otherwise


UH60 - this thread is about FH2 - if you got a drama with Double Vee be a man and PM him instead of critiquing him on frivalous posting with a frivalous post

EDIT : lol thts better UH60 - the edit button is a very useful feature... perhaps you wont have to use it next time huh?

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

That picture that jimbob posted explains my reasoning. Double_Vee, care to point out the 'error' you see?

Oh, I see...I thought that rail kind of thing on the tracks was supposed to be under the wheels....

nevermind what I said then...

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

dont worry - i thought you were right originally from those screenies - the lower wheels look far too recessed back and the track looks like it jutts out ridiculously..... but as i said - a little google and one can see where they are coming from i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cant wait for this mod...

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

As far as I'm concerned FH2 is VAPORWARE.

The same fate that befell FH for 1942 looks to repeat itself for FH2 -- months and months of hype and, by the time anything is finally released, it is riddled with bugs, gameplay and balance issues, and more. Granted, FH .7 *finally* became the mod that it should have been at release, but by then the gaming community moved on to Battlefield 2...

The solution is simple. Release a few maps *now*, guage community interest and incorporate feedback, rather than waiting for the whole to be done.

good to see such enthusiasm :) pity tht a "few maps" will require their own statics and models in order to be released - considering this is a full conversion mod i wish the solution was tht simple - I WANT FH NOW LOL

I can't agree. 1. I'm I blind or was FH never "riddled with bugs, gameplay and balance issues". There where bugs ect... like in every other game. 2. FH WILL release a few maps first, (the africa theatre), But then you make a very smart decision to put stars (**) around now. When is now? When can you actually release a mod that is good enough to entertain people upto the next release and being 'bugfree'. You say "Release a few maps *now*". Maps with what? US soldiers anno 2005? Since FH will need all new vehicles, all new weapons, all new sounds, all new animations, all new player models. All of this has to be coded and put in a nice balanced map. So they have to release *now*?? I rather let the FH-team decide when to release there mod.

Actualy you say to release a better mod (less bugs, better gameplay, more balance) in a shorter time ???. anyone can see this is an unrealistic statement.

It is only my enthusiasm about what FH 2 can be that I am pressing them to get it out sooner. I just don't want the mod to slip away into irrelevancy the long we have to wait to get it.

It would be great to finally get the mod in our hands, but if it is the case that only a few servers host it and fewer players play it, then what good is all the wait?

I'm just saying reduce the scope of the effort to something more manageable that can be delivered more quickly, rather than vague statements like "it will be released when it is ready."

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

lol "it will be released when its ready" " its done when its done" and other responses of the like are all responses to a similar unrealistic question - "when is it going to be out?". the fact tht a release date relies on the schedules of so many people who have graciously donated their own spare time means tht making deadlines (aka giving out a release date) is really unfair and in most cases quite impossible... dont be offended by these standard replies to the commonly asked "release" question - it is asked so many times it has become more of a joke than a way of telling you - "im not going to give you a release date till i know one for sure, when we have one we will tell you "

every1 is concerned about the length the mods are taking to get to release - but spare a thought for the people actually doing the hard work on them... bringing pessimism of the nature you posted in an attempt to pressure or badger a modteam into working harder than they already are is'nt really an intelligent way to support a mod. i am sure tht the FH team have a modest goal for initial release, but one has to understand tht even to make a small release of a WW2 mod (remembering tht you will be unable to use all of the default bf2 models, most of the default statics and unable to use any of the sounds, commands etc etc) a lot of content is required...

what good is all the wait? stop waiting and then one day you will get an awesome surprise :) tht my two cents
