Hooray for Bulge! Double Hooray for Russian front!! Some of my favorite FH1 maps are east front; Seelow Heights, Berlin Streets, and Pavlov's house(which I just played last night on pixelfighter :-).
Anyone following these forums knew Bulge was coming next. The real 'news' here(for me at least) is the eastern front. I am so glad they're going on to that before pacific. Mainly because I personally believe whatever front they do next(not counting Bulge which is an expansion of Normandy/West front) will probably, realistically be the last one done for the mod. Bulge would have to be at least one if not two releases and then Russia would take at least a couple releases after that. Given the development timetable so far, all these releases will take the next 1 1/2 to 2 years, and BF2 is already a 5 1/2 year old game engine.
