Ow, shit. Arberdeen and Sidi Rezegh?. Its odd people like those 2 that much, but ce la vie, votes don't lie.How dare you compare Abershit to Sidi Rezegh the most beautiful map in the mod and now even better since 2.4 with working counterattack bleed and added weaponry???
I sure hope THIS British force presents a challenge for my 88 team. The last 2 were rubbish :)Yeah... in the timed-out match, towards the end, nothing happened on the southern flank for a good 15 minutes (even though the Britons were bleeding), prompting me to message "TOMMY. Y U NO ATTAK?"
Nice mixture of maps.Something must have been done to Aberdeen (new tanking system maybe)
And Aberdeen why not it's been a while, it can't have gotten any worse, can it?
Wait... what? Explain. I dont get you. VIP Squad? barehands?Rremember CS, djinn? With the "protect the VIP" gamemode? The first versions had VIPs with bare hands (ie, they could not get any kills).
Played it 4 times now, twice Germans won, twice British won. Looks like tank balance is better on this map now.Nice mixture of maps.Something must have been done to Aberdeen (new tanking system maybe)
And Aberdeen why not it's been a while, it can't have gotten any worse, can it?
'cause i played it 2 times already and it was actually fun!
(germans lost but not by usual rape, more like a fair fight) still hard to win, but not impossible (just like Hurtgen and Meuse for Amis)
Have you played it with 2.4 patch? Its really nice map to play now. At least i had fun, blasting downhill with my jeep at the speed of sound.
Fine, if a good number of fans voted it in, but imo, its a terrible map game-play wise, and an ugly duck visually. I respect all the mappers, and I dont mean to retract from the devs' work, but you don't always get 100% great maps. And Arberdeen is that fail percentage
So yes to clarify: Battlerecorder is ON during GN18.

Just a thought.
I had some good fun tonight. Played in some good sqauds with good SL's and even had some voip action now and then. :)Came in way too late, but attacking and defending that flag with the 100000 enemy panzers with you was alot of fun!
great fun all. thx ;)
Had my eyes closing after Sidi Rezegh - and was too tired after the final defeat at Hurtgen and some dwindling teamwork on St. Lo to go on... I think I actually flamed quite after my Squad leader kept this StuG moving in the open and prevented us from spawning at any safe spot to reclaim the hill, then finally got blown up himself.
This is a beautiful shot imo, showing just how things can get real in FH2, we're driving to the church, and the driver is shot in the head (muzzle flash came from the second floor of the church!), the gunner shits it as the APC grinds to a halt and I'm in the back waiting for the APC to get hit by a concealed panther we just passed.

Djinn I didn't understand why you did not open a new squad with you as SL, the one we got at Hill wasn't really worried about the flag and his squadmates :-\
Otherwise I had some fun, mainly by playing maps I had not seen since 2.3 (or even 2.15 with Aberdeen). However, my computer prevented me to enjoy Vossenack, crashing and disconnecting with the help of Punkbuster. That was not the most fun GN I experienced but a fun one nevertheless
Its just impossible to be a squad leader to em.
a pleasure sir Djinn :) I like squad leaders who are actively thinking about plans to attack or defend like yourself, sometimes you do get wrapped up in the battle trying to order the whole team, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, just you sometimes scare me how seriously you take the fight :D
I got to say another lol moment was driving through tank fire to deliver moose a Kubelwagon we met up at the tree line in Oberdorf and I handed it over, neither of us shot at each other, quite a strange gaming moment, he then raced off and I walked back to my squad. Friendship extends beyond the uniform you wear.
The scourge that was sniper Moose, this is a funny shot for me, because of the text, I was just about to order everyone down the hill to find sniper moose, and he shot me from afar.

Not saying the advertising is a problem, Flippy. Just said, its the curse of that blessing. Its GREAT to play with the regulars on the forum. Its just impossible to be a squad leader to em.
For a total bloodbath, check our epic fail of trying to cap the Bunker flag on Hürtgen. Lookout fell suspiciously easily, after that most of the game was spent advancing to the bunker, getting killed, rinse and repeat. (Until people spawned in the north and took Lumbermill instead of bashing our collective heads to the same proverbial wall over and over again.)Attacked the northern route (Wehe ford and Lumbermill) from the start, pretty much kept it the entire round with my squad but yeah the bunker wouldn't fall. Someone even managed to get a sherman up there by driving up the hill or something. But it wasn't enough.
