Announcements / Re: Forgotten Hope 2.2 Released!
« on: 05-09-2009, 21:09:48 »
I've just played a round of Point du Hoc until my computer crashed on the next map (no idea if FH2.2 related) and I have to say, that this is probably the best and surely the most intense current WW2-related game.
Congratz!

Mhh, I want the grease gun and the carbine. My all-time DoD favorites, hope they rule as well in FH2  ;D

Arcanum?

The infantry map in the hills is fabulous, I think it's Breakthrough at Monte Cassino. Probably because it's so different to the flat, tree-less desert ;) . Good job!

Given the large population of gamers in Germany I would not think banning games would be a very politically advisable move...

True, and that's why I don't believe it's going to happen. Additionaly it would be a field day for software pirates.

Its something called humorous sarcasm.

I'm still looking for the humorous part, but what can I do, I blame my humourless German ancestry for not finding it  ;)

Hehe that's a funny and somehow fitting description.


I love these weirdo laws. It makes me feel like the nazis never really lost in the end.

I can't find a connection between green blood and nazis. Even if you meant the internet censorship, it's weird to connect these two things.

They finally made real good 3-D cockpit ;)

You're sure this was in-game footage?

This is quite an interesting list.
I would give a similar listing on how most germans / german media / ... memorize certain wars, but it would be boring to write something like "We were so responsible, bad, etc.".

First you would have to decide when to start. If you take Caesar's crossing of the Rhine, it would get quite a long list. A more sensible starting point would be the Franco-Prussian War, which is mostly only known because it led to the final unification of the German Reich. The next one would be the Boxer Rebellion, pretty forgotten or only used as an example of the agressive foreign policy of Wilhelm II. Funily that's where the Germans got their nickname "huns", as Wilhelm II said in a speech, that German soldiers should behave in China as the Huns behaved thousand years ago in Germany  ::).
The next wars would be the first and second World War. I think the German reception of these wars is well known.
The NATO air war against Serbia in '99 was the first combat operation of Germany after WW2 and therefore evoked heated discussions about its legitimacy, since wars of aggresion are forbidden according to the German constitution and the general bad feeling about fighting German soldiers.  
Same for the Afghanistan, people aren't used to see German soldiers, who are actually fighting. No time to go into details, maybe another time.

MW4 runs flawlessly in XP, for MW1 you can use DosBox, I've just tested it and got smashed by a light mech  ;D Should have checked the keyboard controls first. Perhaps you can even run MW2 in DosBox, but MW3 could pose some problems *starts searching for disc*
