Do you know Discord? It's awesome and easy to use text/voice platform for all players. I came with an idea to create own Discord server for FH2 community. It's easier to make than renting TS3 server. There players would communicate in and outside the game.

I think that standalone is not so necessary as it seems so. Today you have two, much simpler ways to install BF2: BF2 Revive, or contacting with Origin support to adding your copy to Origin (even if you have basic copy without any expansion packs, they will give you a Complete Collection, with latest 1.50 patch etc). Then everything you have to do is download the FH2. Quick and simple.

Polish forces (under Red Army) was fighting under Lenino, so probably Eastern Front.

Let's dust off this thread. 

Lets take this physically. If rocket from launcher have enough force to fly about 100m, punch the armor and penetrate it, it must have enough energy to produce smoke and sound.

I really like play as a AT-soldier. I love stalking vehicles, smashing their armors, but I feel bad when I see and hear the Bazookas and Panzerschreck. I think they need new sounds and effects, a little prove of love, because they feel like a fireworks, not like a tank-killer launchers. That's all, please give them some feel of power.
