They also need to learn that they should focus all their effort on one core audience, namely multiplayer.
They had a horrible Singlplayer component, a horrible coop component and Battle Royale mode that was never supported.

A Sikorsky YR-4B Helicopter Flies Near a B25J “Cornhusker” near Myitkynia, Burma after it crash landed from losing an engine. 1945

EDIT:
And an amazing video that shows this particular helicopter;

Wow, I never knew such a helicopter existed that early.  I thought the German ones were the only ones at that point.  ;D

Not to be morbid, but where would one find the final picture?  I am curious as Seth or someone said that was the more 'famous' picture, but I don't recall having seen it. Is the subject of the man in the white hat well known?

Earlier photo too, man with white hat in center.

Did they find them with a cache of weapons for partisans?

What is the context of this image?  Are those Germans on the tank or some other group? It almost looks like they are displaying the Nazi Flag and tank as if it was knocked out or captured?  Did an airplane provide supplies to this tank crew or did a friendly plane cause it to be abandoned/knocked out (guys pointing into the air as if in recognition of some action by their airforce)

@ Seth: are those French on the previous page fighting in Norway? And what is that weapon on the left in the pic with the Germans? An AT rifle?


How did you figure they were in Norway?


The skis would make me think they're Chasseurs Alpins. I only know of their involvement in Norway, idk if they fought anywhere else in WW2.


Oh, I was looking at Seth's more recent French photo...didn't see the one on the other page.

Cool photo!  Any more information about that exhibition?  Where did the Soviets capture these assorted weapons?  Especially the aircraft...

This is one of my favorite features that has been added to FH2.  In all BF games I am the kind of player that spawns at empty flags left by teammates who constantly zerg from one flag to another only to have the flag they were just at get recaptured.  Having this kind of warning helps make players more likely to help keep control of territory already won!

When this was first implemented during beta tests, I thought it was only going to work for push maps, but was really excited to see it apply to conquest as well. 

How I see it, it is just an indicator that an area is 'active,' just because the defending team can see their flag is under attack doesn't mean they will win the fight for it.  If you fail to take a flag simply because the enemy knows you are there, then....sorry?  ???
