can I ask you why?
//Warning: Offtopic
Judging by the number of active Devs and recent retirements, frequency of news updates, development blogs and active followers. Because, after all, BF2 and FH2 are both around for quite a few years and apart from the about 15 active users of this forum, the guys from FHT, WaW, 762 and a bunch of anonymus Chinese guys there are not that much people still interested in the mod, I'm afraid. And it is not easy, due to the age of the game itself, to aquire new members for the Dev Team or the community. Also since FH2 is unfortunatly not very well known if you for example compare it to PR2. Which frankly is a shame, I always felt it deserved more attention.
So at a specific point the Dev team could come to a simple conclusion: FH2 always had a very high standard of quality, one of its strenghts. Will we probably sacrifice this standard and continue development with the few Devs that remain, no matter how long it takes and no matter who is still following the releases that barely will get any attention at all, or shall we keep it as it is and stall development rather than taking the risk of releasing unpolished, unfinished expansions?
Maybe I'm completely wrong about this and there are still plenty of devs active and they will continue to provide the well known quality. Still, this is the impression that I have now. Its been a lot of years. Many devs left, everybody moved on with their lifes, circumstances change, people can't invest as much time and effort into the Mod as they once could maybe. Development slows down. I've seen too many projects die like this to not be at least a little sceptical.
Anyway, good to hear that FH2 is such a Lazarus, Ts4EVER. Hopes for the Eastern Front are up.
