Still he should consider a suggestion as to what the crowd wants not what he wishes.


Mini mod...If i had the skill you'd be seeing a Greek Hope thread 2 years ago

Forgotten Hope has never been designed by an angry mob. The devs have been making their mod since 2003... and during those years they have not been able to please everyone. That would be impossible.

Why to have a suggestion forum then... Well, I don't know. Most of the suggestions are either impossible, not supported by the devs or just plain silly. But from time to time something usable and new surfaces and the devs take interest.

By all means, keep suggesting. But don't throw a hissy fit if the people who are here creating their own mod don't agree.

bingo. Its their SOVEREIGN property. The suggestion forum is to get external feedback, additions and alternatives that they might CONSIDER. They barely take suggestions not beccause its their perogative to do so, but because after consideration, it may not be the time for it, may not fit into the gameplay, or its already in the works...

But they do consider them, even the most silly ones... At least they read them, and put brain energy into them. If you ever see a dev give feedback to a suggestion - And I can bet you'd get at least one of such in each suggestion, then that means its at least been noted

Here's SOME suggestions that made it in:
1/Deployable mgs
2/ 3D Ironsights
3/ Scoped FG43
4/ proned version of LMGs
5/ Reload animation for M1 garand
6/ Reduced suppression... yes, we DID suggest that
7/ Reduced deviation for mgs in prone position
6/ Reduced accuracy, Bren
7/ Airplane handling
8/ Hellcat
9/ Alternate faces for player model
10/ Normandy
11/ Ramelle Neuville
12/ Mobile artillery
13/ The Soviets
14/ the Hetzer
15/ Stug without remote mg
16/ A train
16/ Uniqueness to Ramelle Neuville skins, and other toys like the 'molotov' cocktail, BAR without bipod, fly-overs
17/ Italian-specific equipment
18/ Italian coat
19/ The Quad .50
20/ Mobile ack-ack


top mention but a few.....

Now, while we ponder of the additions that may well have been as a result of community suggestions, can we keep the devs motivated to DO what they've decided to do out of the goodness of their own heart? Without imposing or accusing them?

its simply knowing what to suggest.  For example, most stuff i suggested, actually made it in this mod

it could be that the mods already knew about this when i suggested this, or they took my suggestion, i dont know. and really dont care.
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

Must we really? Do we really need to diminish the list to justify the fact the devs are in fact, sadistic monsters who torture us with freewill and rip our choice in our face?

Besides, the list was created based on things that came in AFTER heated discussion on them, and many are probably in part, as a result since they really don't HAVE to be in, if you take a look at them and see what I mean.

Eh, i'm motivated to so also now. Just have to get out before I shoot, still speed up behind them, lol.

@ Djinn. Yes.

Anyways could we perhaps lock this, it's only going to turn into a "hate spam" thread now; no need to get more people disappointed.

Another solution on top of the server rule would be to increase the respawn time of the recon cars, like higher than a tiger or something (> 3 min) ... Good against kübelschreck squads and back cappers as well ...

What about this ?

I'd be more open to this, except, that wouldn't make it more realistic either since there were way more jeeps than tigers and they should be more readily available. Honestly, as pointed out before...a.) it could be implemented as it would be realistic but b.) because the devs don't want to, it wont be.

You can tell most the devs are from Europe... ;)  :P

They might have been more readily available, but I'm quite sure they were not used in direct battles apart from recon roles. As fh2 portrays the battle, I'd like the regular jeeps to be replaced with appropriate recon vehicles, that have some firepower, as I said before.

I prefer my solution, create a CTD bug for the guys who try to shoot from the jeep or the kebel with bazooka or panzershrek :)

Just a mad tanker with limited knowledge of proper vehicle roles... lol
