Tactics & Tutorials / Re: Being a "sniper"
« on: 21-08-2018, 20:08:57 »
It is important as a sniper to know when not to kill. Not killing from a position for a time can be better than relocation. Watch the chat as it can tell you if someone is looking for you. Kill the last man is a good idea, but you can stop a squad and put it to earth, where they all become stationary targets by killing the first.

I had that map at one time, but it does not seem to be in the recent map packs. What was it called?

FH2 Help / Support / More than one connection from the same IP
« on: 01-01-2016, 14:01:09 »
Is there a way of limiting players who make more than one connection to a server so that they can only join the same team? I ask this because it has been evident for some time that players have been using stooges planted on the opposite team to disrupt, team kill and report and use precious resources. Any idling player could be the enemy. Have you ever wondered why some people are so accurate with artillery or how they knew you were somewhere they could not? If you try to report any suspicious or even flagrant activity on your own team to a admin it elicits a storm from some players on the opposite team. This tactic seems to have become standard for Sunday games.

Tactics & Tutorials / Re: How to use Anti personel Mines?
« on: 27-04-2014, 03:04:42 »
Slayer, you are right about the player jumping before the throw. I have always thought of the game as a sim and lie down to place a mine. During a game on the previous build i remember an admin advising players to enable mine markers in their options if they had them disabled. If what you say is correct then that amounts to a lot of inattention or a deliberate death wish. A red X is very easy to see. Could it be that many players don't know what the red X signifies?

When i lay an AP mine a red X appears, so why do others not see this? I can see when someone else lays an AP mine so what is happening here? I have just left a game where a player was able to throw a mine forward like a grenade. Is this something new and how is it done?

FH2 Help / Support / Re: [SOLUTION] FH2 crashes often on win7 / vista
« on: 07-10-2013, 00:10:34 »
The straight BF2 plays great for me. But since i installed Project Reality, FH2 is crashing all the time. I have to make it clear that BF2 is still working fine. I have a image file of my entire system which is 3 months old and the crash to desktop was infrequent then. I am about to try this out to see if it works. There does not seem to be an authoritative fix for this, only a lot of tinkering.

General Discussion / Bunnyhoppers have arrived
« on: 22-06-2013, 05:06:50 »
It has started here. When you thought that everyone had a lot of pride in the reality of the game along comes a hopper with a macro who does not touch the ground and jumps higher than a pole vaulter. You have seen them in BF2 and they can hop on air and shoot at the top of the hop. The ministry of silly walks needs to be notified and a large pin applied to their balloon. This is a crying shame as it has only started happening recently.

I have a problem that  fh2config.exe wants to run every time i start the game. It will do this from the desktop icon and the program files.Any ideas on how to fix it?

« on: 09-09-2012, 22:09:55 »
Thank you.That worked.When i went to options there was not one key assigned.I think that a nasty crash where i had to do a reboot may have been the cause of the disappearing keys.

I have been playing FH2 for years. The stock BF2 is not affected. I will try your suggestion and report back.

FH2 Help / Support / Frozen cursor
« on: 08-09-2012, 23:09:33 »
When i come to the screen to select my weapons and join the game the cursor freezes.If i wait until the end of the game the cursor reappears and then the same thing happens again.This is on more than one server.I am going back to see if single player is affected as i have just thought to try that.

i have the connect only on the second attempt problem and it is also on the stock BF2. To log on to the main screen is taking longer and there is a lot more crash to desktop.I think that EA games is at its work to discourage people from a aging game.
