Every time I try to download the 1.50 patch, from any and all sources . . . it begins the download but the "hours left" jumps way up and nothing shows as being downloaded.  Right now, for example, I've been trying to download from the moddb link for the last three minutes.  It shows that nothing has downloaded and that I have between 13 - 24 "hours left".  This is on Google Chrome.  I had the same problem with Internet Explorer.

I just started it on Oracle and it is actually downloading . . . but at incredibly slow rate (I have the fastest DL package available through my provider).  It shows that I have 22 hours to go!

Well, at least I'm getting something.  I'll let it go for awhile and see if it speeds up any.

I did get the FH2 launcher & figured I'd give it a try once I got BF2 up and running.

Fingers crossed.

Update: Got it!  Just took awhile.  It's a huuuge file, which is why it confused me at first.  DL'ing FH2 with the launcher now.  Hope to be playing soon.

Success!

I'm back in. Unfortunately . . . I was the only one.  I used to play after 11pm CST.  When I first began playing a few years back, the servers were pretty full.  When BF2 Bad Company came out, things got real thin online so I quit playing as well. (Bad Company and the following Battlefield games were not my cup o' tea.)

Was hoping people had come back since this is/was such a great online WW2 game.  Are people still playing?  If so, what time of night?

Hi guys, I've been playing Heroes and Generals for the last six months or so . . . which has really gotten me to miss the stellar gameplay of FH2 (way better than H&G, IMO).

I dug up my ancient BF2 CD and somehow was able to install it despite the disk looking like it had been thrown from a moving vehicle onto a busy highway.

Problem is, I can't find a place to DL the 1.5 patch.  All of the links I've found seem to be dead.  I was able to get 1.41 . . . so I don't know why 1.5 is so hard to find.

Can anyone give me a working link?

Just did a full reinstall, removed the old mouse drivers, x'd out the falcon commands . . . and still no scrolling mouse wheel.  Not in BF2 or FH2.  Weird.  My next test will be with a different (brand new) mouse.

This is really strange.  I can't figure it out.  Like I said, the old mouse was working correctly with FH2 on this new computer for a couple of weeks.  When it failed, it seems to have taken all mouse wheel functions with it.

Ok, a few weeks ago lighting blew up my old PC.  I get a new one, but keep the old mouse (an expensive Logitech gaming mouse).  After reinstalling BF2/FH2, I'm playing with everything maxed and all is well. The old mouse works great.  Then, a few days ago, the mouse starts flipping out.  Not working at all. I was told that this was a lingering effect of the lighting strike.  I don't know. Anyhow, one of the things that went wrong was that the scroll wheel stopped allowing me to move through my weapons.  So, I bought a new mouse.  Just a basic, corded mouse.  Now, it works fine, but there's still no scrolling through my weapons with the scroll wheel.  I also have a Nostromo N52 Gamepad, which does allow me to scroll through the weapons.  I'd prefer not to use it for that though, since using the mouse is faster and more ergonomic.  I've always used the Nostromo and have never had a conflict, so I don't think it's that.

Any idea why I'm having this problem?  How do I get my scroll wheel to flip through the weaponry and why did it quit in the first place?

As I recall, my .308 jungle carbine had a longer flash than any of my Mausers . . . but it actually might be an optical illusion because of the comparable size of the two rifles.  You expect a smaller flash from the smaller rifle.

Then again, I'm thinking that the flash from the carbine might actually be larger the long rifle because the barrel is shorter, while the size of the round is relatively the same.

Maybe on the 4th I could get some video of both weapons being shot at night.  Will be at the farm with the guy who now owns the carbine.  I'll tell him to bring it along.

Gun shows.  You'd be surprised what you can find there, if you know what you're looking for.

Pawn shops can be good too.  Pawn shops are usually gun shops and vice-versa. 

Estate auctions are NOT the place to buy.  However, they ARE the place to sell.  If I ever sell my guns it'll be at an estate/consignment auction in the country.  You'll get three or for good ol' boys who're just gonna have to have that rifle . . . and they'll pay way more than it's worth just to say they got it.

Wherever you go, knowledge is the key.  Read up.  When in doubt, don't . . . unless you've got money to burn.  Because you will get burned eventually, no matter how much you've read.  (See: $10.00 P-38.)

Right, I know about the commander position & that does work very well when it is used properly (I've yet to give it a try). 

I'd just like to have something that I could jump right into and bang off a few rounds with.  I really, really enjoy the way that arty requires two people in FH (although, I wish more people would co-operate).  I'd sure like to see this sort of support made available for the Allies.

Till then, just get rid of the mortar on the beach.  Add a sniper rifle instead as that would be more effective in suppressing the cliffs.  (If there is a sniper rifle . . . tell me where, cause I haven't found it yet.)
