The new knives look very cool.

Good catch. Or is that pic from some personal mod?

Also in the next patch will be the new knife system designed by Kev4000
If the knife system is new, then it can't be just about hitting the enemy more easily. Otherwise it would just be an improved knife system and not new, so there has to be some new features. Throwable knives? Cool new animations? Feel free to speculate.

And now that we're talking about melee weapons, once we get Finns into the mod we need some cool new weaponry, like crowbars, axes, logs and...bears...or something.

Why do you think that picture is from an official FH2 build? :P

Prenote: I love and appreciate your work devs. Really! FH has been my favourite game since a very long time. Nevertheless I doubt that FH is following the right release strategy.

The longer we wait for 2.3, the more interesting will the change log be. After you guys showed close-ups from all three maps I really thought that it will be a question of maybe 2-3 week until the release.  ;)
I just felt that you give the players the feeling that the release is so close, just to disappoint them by letting them wait without any indication of the real release date. I'm fine with this as I understand how scarce FH's ressources are and what time is needed for every single project. But why always creating the feeling that a release is so close and wait then years just to add other tiny gimmicks to it?

Guys seriously, why not splitting up the release process up in even smaller periods?
A lot of the new things are fancy, but nothing more for many players. New offical maps that can be played are noticed by everyone. FH2 has already now such a good content. We just wan't to use this content on more maps.

Straight example: I don't care about Knives. I've been playing FH since 2003 or 2004 (haha too long to remember) as a regular and addict. In FH2 kives are (maybe now "were") rubbish. Nevertheless: Just another little gimmick which will not change the game or push it forward that much that it's worth to wait wait wait wait...

release was not delayed for the knives ;) these were in for a long time. Thing is we test for bugs very thoroughly and when something turns up it might take a while to fix and retest. So instead of leaving everyone in the dark, azreal posted this small news update of... well... slightly inconsequential content, so you had something to look at. 2.3 is right on track though ;)

I do get people's frustration about the release period. For the last few weeks, I felt that most were going through the motion tbh.

But personally, I think we are forgetting that its that excellent standard that makes this mod great - and its development time has been drastically shortened

Back in the days of 2.2, a release came out aproximately every 11 to 13months.

Now its aprox. every 3months! Shortening it further is like asking the devs to release after each new vehicle or bug-fix, if even that.

Lets appreciate the work the devs are doing here.

A more efficient knife system may seem trite for its own update, but its the little good things are what make FH2 so professional
