With tall grass you shouldn't have too many problems...

[Guderian]

Isn't that standard tactic... how else would you make it to the guns on Lebisey?

When did this new school of thought come about?

That is not a "tactic" and to all those people that play with low settings, you'll no longer have that unfair advantage over those that can all play FH2 on high settings.

I play with low settings....I have also tried maps at high...No advantage.  I call bullshit.

Although I must admit with low settings the player models stand out a bit more against the background I wouldn't call playing with low settings advantageous. People who play on low settings (ie. me) have other difficulties. It is a bit worrying, okay - relatively speaking, that a dev even thinks this.

Stalemate on Bardia is very easy with low settings, everyone crawls inside the bushes/plants and high setting can't spot eachother but low setting can see them all

We currently don't have that do we?
 
I think alot more maps could do with this.. Like Olympus

But your toasters wont handle it.

Whaaaaaat??? My toaster chews grass like a cow, or a goat!! 
God darn it, it even makes me sandwiches!

[Remdul]

The grass appears thinner nearby (~5m radius), but further away (~20m) it becomes just as opaque as it did before. The wheat fields on Lebisey for example are still effective in hiding infantry.

Update this week? 

[Vernah]

Kinda crappy that putting your settings on low lets u reveal the entire terrain for you, LOL

[hankypanky]

Bumping up the system specs like what the PR team did is a BAD idea. Not only will it screw over low spec people like me, but it will also limit any new people with a standard BF2 rig.

[Guderian]

Hanky, with any new PC game/mod, you have to consider purchasing a new PC. A relatively "new" low end PC can run FH2 on high settings for about $500. You must change with the times besides a "standard" BF2 rig was probably bought/built between 2004/2005 with technology older than that.

@Mud Budda
Playing with a high end rig on low settings you get maximum fps with transparent undergrowth is an advantage. I only wish players would be required to have medium or higher settings for shadows enabled/dynamic light which is another advantage of playing with low settings.

Looks like a great map, I hope the view distance will be longer/less foggy than Operation Cobra

I SO dont want a newspost today!
