fifth and final map
No Ste. Mere-Eglise? No Gold Beach? No Foy? No Puffendorf? We get maps like de_tunis and Ram-er-le but quality maps are abandoned or pushed into the "when we have time" zone ie. never-never-land as Keren was? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---
At least there's the French Hope public beta. Ummm, let me guess. No new Western Front maps before 2.5 aka Ostfront "because we have bigger and better things to do and there's nobody interested"?
revised tanking
Any news on the tanking front is good news but it's still kinda meh, but that's probably more due to BF2 "Refractor" engine. Plus even though teased otherwise, this is not going to help in any which way with the ridiculously nerfed Geballte Ladungs, or the wonky BF2 hitboxes that allow Achilles to survive a Panzerfaust to the rear or top (on the contrary, even).
Sorry guys, but I'll be only convinced once I
play. I really thought that 2.4 would be something
groundbreaking regarding playing mechanics, but according to the relased news updates, it's just going to be the "same old, same old", only slightly tweaked. A
complete reworking of capzones, the infantry & SL system, plus tanky things not possible in Refractor, along with some "signature" Normandy maps and MOAR Bulge would have been more like it. Oh well, at least it's not as rigid as
that other mod which I'm still not interested in.
that other mod's release date
h8ers gonna h8 and wanna kill FH2 because it's not "hardcore" enuff (read: not as retardedly limiting and nevertheless just as (un)realistic). Either that or school/university summer vacations are kicking in even in the countries far away from Finland (and even up here, workers laden with the unearthly heavy duty of making quarterly report are promised their annual leave around these days).
Signed, FH2 addict for nearly 3 years and counting.
