Hello. I live in the central US, and I've played FH2 for a couple months now.
It's a great experience. I love taking a tank destroyer, finding a good ambush spot, and cutting off enemy armored reinforcements to the front, or getting your hands on a flamethrower and clearing that crucial objective building for your team to move in, or even just running ammo to your teammates who need it. However, one thing really depresses me when it comes to FH2.
The servers always die at the same time every single day. I understand 90% of the playerbase is in Europe, but Jesus is it rough as an American player. By the time us from the US are done with school or work and we get home at 4-5 o' clock in the afternoon, the servers are dead. Most of the time on a weekday the highest numbers I will ever see is in the 40-50s. Even then, it's not the same as a full server. Combat is short and in pockets in the most random places on the map, there's never a predictable front to fight on, and when the map ends, a good half of the current players will leave, effectively killing the server down to 5 people. This happens every single day, even on the weekends.
I'm not proposing any fixes or anything, I'm just kind of venting if you get what I mean. It's very depressing to have this game which you love to play online and chat with people and use teamwork to take down that Tiger or flank that objective, but being able to only play 1 match in the mid afternoon and thats it is rough.
The game needs to be advertised somehow. Maybe someone with a following for these games like Bluedrake or Phly or any other youtuber could play this again, even if they have before, and just get the word out there about the game. Have them tell people that you really don't even need to own BF2 anymore to play it, as there is a standalone installer here on the forums that many people use. It just sucks for myself and many other of the American players of FH2 that we barely get to play 1 full match on a weekday and then basically not being able to play at all unless you play with the singleplayer, very buggy bots who get stuck on rocks and small walls. That's all I wanted to say. I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, and I will continue to play this game every single day I can.
