Hooray for Bulge! Double Hooray for Russian front!! Some of my favorite FH1 maps are east front; Seelow Heights, Berlin Streets, and Pavlov's house(which I just played last night on pixelfighter :-).

Anyone following these forums knew Bulge was coming next. The real 'news' here(for me at least) is the eastern front. I am so glad they're going on to that before pacific. Mainly because I personally believe whatever front they do next(not counting Bulge which is an expansion of Normandy/West front) will probably, realistically be the last one done for the mod. Bulge would have to be at least one if not two releases and then Russia would take at least a couple releases after that. Given the development timetable so far, all these releases will take the next 1 1/2 to 2 years, and BF2 is already a 5 1/2 year old game engine.

I just created an account at moddb and voted for FH2.

One problem with getting Wolf occupied on nights other than Thursdays, is that because Thursdays are the "big game night", that's generally been the only night of the week you find an admin or two on. It's sad to say but it seems many original wolf admins have "moved on"(whether to other games or real life stuff or a combination thereof). Even on Thursdays Dago Red and Carrion are typically the only two who regularly show up any more. A couple others do occasionally(Skandranon, Kurt Steiner, and a couple other [wolf] tagged one's). But as far as most other nights of the week, they have become more like the odd bigfoot or UFO sighting: Player1: “Hey was that an admin I saw?” Player2: “oh lay off the booze would you, there's no such thing as admins”. And this DOES hurt playability when there's no one around to DJ maps or kick tards.

One ray of sunshine on this point though, I was just made a jr. admin at wolf this past Thursday. I can't promise to be on EVERY night but I'm pretty sure I do play FH2 more than any other admins right now. I was on last night and I think we got up to upper 20 something people on and even at 3:00am eastern time we still had about 20 people on. I was actively putting maps up that fit the player numbers(a lot of 32's that night :-) and this helped keep things going.

I personally hope the senior wolf admins have their eye on one or two additional people to make admins as this should help A LOT in getting/keeping the server occupied closer to every night of the week instead of just Thursdays.

Is there any centralized tracking website that shows how many people are downloading the FH 2.3 torrents? Just curious about how many are getting this.

PS. Cool trailer by the way 

Anubus turns battles.  Anthrax can turn a firefight.

Me? LOL. I don't deserve to be mentioned NEAR anubis when it comes to mentions of best players. I typically finish a round with more deaths than kills. Anubis owns me at just about every encounter when both on foot and if he's in a tank my death is automatic. I'll Also second whoever mentioned Kurt Steiner; damn good skills on his own and awesome Squad Leader. And finally Savagee is the best I've ever seen with a rifle and I don't have a chance against him if we see each other at the same time(or even if I see him well ahead of time, fire a shot or two and miss and then he turns and one shots me in half a second ).

I am very thankful for the enjoyment Rad has helped me and many others have over the years with his awesome contributions to this mod. I never knew him but will continue to enjoy the self-less donation of his time and talent through playing this wonderful mod. My condolences to his family and may he Rest in peace.

I miss FH1 like you wouldn't believe. 

I don't miss it because I still play it.    Pixelfighter server is occupied pretty much every day. Even though there are some server-side mods of many maps, I find that a small price to pay to still be able to behold the glory that is FH1. I'm off to play market garden now...
