I've been trying to get people I know to play, but with hardly any luck.

I used to play battlefield 2 & 2142 with a clan, they all moved on to call of duty and the newer battlefield titles while I played FH2.

Until bf3 came out they moaned about how bad call of duty and bad company 2 was (filled with hackers, bad game mechanics etc). They still moan some about bf3, but not as much as with the other games.

So I just gave up hope because no matter how much whining about call of duty they did they never could spare the time to install FH2.

If you still can't connect, then the cdkey could be banned for hacking thanks to some previous user.

It should work to edit the command line in the shortcut to set the resolution. Though, since BF2 1.5 patch the support for WS is native.
Like, "C:\Games\Battlefield 2\FH2.exe +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1080"

Sorry, that didn't work either...

FH2 hates my screen, at least I have an annoying work around.

I've been trying to get screenshots of the glitch, but the game keeps spitting out empty images.

Over the years I've grown tired of most games I've played, sometimes just after a relatively short while. FH2 is the only thing around I still haven't got tired from, sure, I didn't play much of it the last 2 months or so before 2.4 though, but that's mainly been World of Tanks taking up my attention.

It's one of the few mods out there which surpass most if not all commercial games in it's genre. Screw Battlefield (BAD Company) 3, I got FH2 to play.

I love the new patch, haven't used any tanks or planes yet though, infantry has been too awesome.

Played 10 rounds and from what I saw the new maps are awesome in looks and gameplay.

Played one round on each map as both teams.
Meuse River: First round in 2.4, the german team stomped the allies into the ground IIRC we had around 300 tickets left when the round ended.
As american later on we managed to lose, but the german team only had 70 tickets left.

Eppeldorf: This is a hard one for the germans, won overwhelmingly as american, for some reason the germans never got the idea that the area north of hill is mined. Good times defending the hill.
Lost as german by 150ish tickets, seems to me the germans need to focus on capping the town.

Vossenack: Lost as german, but not by too many tickets, main reason was that the back flags got captured and nobody seemed to care to recap, then the pushes towards Hof and Oberdorf got surrounded and exterminated.
Won it as american by 150 tickets or so.

Hurtgen Forrest:
Won as american, hard but possible. Won as german, but that's because the americans only pushed one of the flanks or so.

Bastonge: won as germans, after a hard start, my squad went for Wardin, everyone else went north. about 15-20 minutes in we managed to drive the americans out, thankfully some guys came south to help us out. Then we pushed west, finally into bastonge and it was soon over.
Pretty sure we won as americans, never actually saw the end, but when I went off the germans hadn't pushed past Wardin, and they only had 150 tickets left to the allies 400+ IIRC

I think with time we'll see that the maps are well balanced. Only map that I felt was hard to win was Eppeldorf for germans, but more teamwork will fix that.

On a side note, I would really like to see some of the africa maps now and of course some of the normandy ones but they won't be in the rotation for a while.

note that I said that FH2 is far below most commercial games on the run-and-gun-iness scale and that delays shouldn't be taken to an extreme.

Most games with delays that I have played have taken them to extremes, and therefore I'm not playing them anymore.

Another thing to consider is the balance between pacing of infantry and armoured combat.
A great example on how pacing is broken is ARMA 2 (without mods), the whole game tries to sell on realism (or simulation whatever), but most vehicles felt like they were from an arcade game.


Also, installing the latest version of PR to see how it works nowdays.

I voted no, but that's mainly out of fear that adding deviation would turn the game into CS or another blasted COD or clone thereof, or my Project Reality nightmare,
last time i played PR, they had a 5 second delay with deviation before you could fire accurately when you scoped, which was not to my liking, impossible to root enemies out of places where grenades couldn't be thrown, like certain caves. That delay was to me always "who scoped first" in what decided who won a fight, but drawn out instead of being a matter of milliseconds as other games.

EDIT: Also, too much luck as people have put it.

Here's my opinion on some of the guns:
I haven't mastered any of the SMGs, pistols or LMGs, but some seem fine to me like the BAR and FG42 for example, but others such as Bren and stg44 (to a small extent) seem bad by comparision.
Bren on single shot on any range is a parcel of shit unless deployed, auto-fire works fine on short ranges when not deployed.
My problems with the stg44 is also with single shots, mostly 30 to 100m range, gun jumps too much to fire the second shot (i usually require 2 hits with the stg44 to kill someone, when not hitting the head). Usually burst firing on auto works wonders at those ranges.

The pistols seem to do too little damage compared to the recoil, rate of fire seems to count for more than accuracy with them as it is now. Awesome accuracy at long ranges for pistols though.

SMGs are awesome below 25m or so, beyond that not so much unless firing single shots. I've found the MP40 to be easier to use than the Sten, don't know why.

I can't say i've noticed anyone jumping from a height and having perfect accuracy the millisecond they land on the ground, if anything, the only people who seem to have perfect accuracy are those that do not move when firing or even better are prone.
