:o
Maybe now we get to see Sidi Bou Zid?
-
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ;D
-
*squueeeal*
*Nice!! Fnatastic looking landscape- the tigers will definately be a big pain in the arse for the amis on such open ground. What do they have to counter it?
-
Aweeeesome! Did I get that right? Tigers on the new map? 8)
-
Only 3 maps will be in this patch?
But I'm still hungry!
-
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
-
Just wonderful! :o
-
updating the FB page wasn't suspicious at all ;)
-
Looks great! ;D And guess what? It releases the same day I go on a 10-day vacation to Hawaii. My life is full of ironies such as these :-\
Looking forward to it when I get back!
-
Jan_Kurator you liar!
This is a real map! ;D
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=14169.360
-
Woooooohoooooo!
Now THATS great news!
-
I wish there were more maps....
There are in great quality!
-
Remember that we get some older maps in "refreshed" versions like night time for 32p Eppeldorf, and Mersa
"New" (or should we say finished) Cobra, Bardia + new game modes.
-
Finally :D
-
I guess that fills in the blank.
-
I'm confused. I'm happy but also irritated. Won't be home for the weekend. FFS!
-
Wow, this came a bit out of the blue... Anyway the map looks GREAT! But I don't know about the 37 mm AT guns vs the Tiger ... :-\
-
Splendid news! Thank you very much and keep up the amazing work Developers, Beta Testers and everyone involved.

squirting, 9gag style? 8)
-
epic map is EPIC!!! ;D aside from the fact that I'll be gone all weekend when this releases :P I am crazy excited for this patch. Once again the mapping and art department have blown me away. From the screens this map looks so different from the other NA maps and not too green to resemble any normady maps. Perfect for giving that feeling of fighting on a new tunisian front. ;)
Also, is this map regular conquest? seems like it would play out just fine that way (judging by the minimap)
or is it tweaked a little like the counter attack mode on Sidi Rezegh? i.e. americans get a ton more tanks or something once a certain # of flags are captured?
-
Ah jeez, such awful news!
I'll be going to Normandy on Friday, for 10 days.
FUUUUUUUUU :-X
Have fun people!
-
Can't be there on release night, but nice to see it is there :)
-
Dang is nobody going to be playing Friday?
-
Nice!

this going to be great ;D
wil there be a 128 player server online on release i never played with that many players on 2.4
-
Guess I'll have to skip the pub this weekend.
Great work pushing out this release devs and testers. Really looking forward to seeing all the new stuff we've been shown and the stuff we haven't been shown. :)
...and here's hoping for a trailer!
-
At long last, we have arrived at the promised land :D
Can't wait for the rest of the week's updates!
-
*head explodes*
Holy shit this is a nice surprise! I'm so pumped...
I'm a tad disappointed there's only one Tunisian American map, given that so much work has been done on new skins and stuff for the NA theater, but it's way better than nothing!
-
Excellent!
-
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
PREPARE FOR THE NEW VERSIOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! GONNA BREAK THE BEER
-
Will we see M1 Bazooka tomorrow? 8)
-
Nice to have this coming. I'm desperate to find some time to join the games then.
-
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
I AM SO GOD DAMN EXCITED
THANK YOU
-
AWESOME NEWS! So awesome let's spread it everywhere we can. I revisited this thread ( http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=16638.0 (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=16638.0) ) and posted in that PCgamer thread to let people over there know about the impending release(Although I got some message that my post wouldn't be visible until approved by a moderator. Hopefully that won't take long.)
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES O GAWD YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!11eleven!!!
-
I see people are excited. Gooooddd. Gooodddd. :)
-

or is it tweaked a little like the counter attack mode on Sidi Rezegh? i.e. americans get a ton more tanks or something once a certain # of flags are captured?
The map had a German attack and American counter-attack phase. The German attack lasts until they have captured Kern's Crossroads, whereupon the US team receives reinforcements for their counter-attack.
To win as Germans, you need to capture all the flags and then hold off the US counter-attack. You need to do this quickly, because the longer the attack lasts, the more tickets the US will be given for their counter-attack. To win as the Americans, you must either hold off the initial attack, or if that fails, you must succeed in the counter-attack and recapture Kern's Crossroads and Sidi Bou Zid.

Looks like there's Tiger..
Looks like there's no planes..
Looks like German biased ;D

There are planes. Remember that kittyhawk from a previous update...?
-
Very nice news! And I'm starting my 3 week long vacation on friday... hehe
-
As usual... I'm like the rear guard in every release.
Fight hard boys! Survive the first bloody night! See you later.
-
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WOOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
What a way to start a Tuesday morning! Thanks for the great news!
Aw shucks...Looks like the map screenshots you used to display during past updates were never of a "Test Map" but always of Sidi Bou Zid :D Map looks absolutely realistic. Love the new cactus vegitation. Absolutely gorgeous! Great job devs and beta-testers. Looking forward for the 2.45 Teaser trailer (Go Kubador!) and obviously playing the game on Friday! ;D
-
Only one African American :P map? 2.46 better come sooner and before Eastern Front.

Well now we have the content so we could make another one, however it would need to bring something new in terms of game play, so if you can think of a truly awesome map then post in the suggestion forum. We're unlikely to spend time on a map only to recycle content in it for the sake of usage. First release in a new setting brings fourth the content, a second one needs to bring game play.
However in this case, Sidi has both a new game play experience + lots of new content, same can be said for the other maps in the patch as well :)
-
Time to install BF2 again :P.
-
Hooray and damn ! Just at release time I start a fishing weekend in France, which is looong planned ! Hope to see you guys, when im back at Sunday evening ! Leave some of the sand for me ! :-\ :-*
-
YOU BASTERDS
now youve given me the choice of playing 2.45 or getting to hear my latest pieces at their first performance
just for that i demand to score the next trailer
nah but really awesome work guys. i cant wait to see full servers again
-
Will the American plane have bombs? And will it be avaliable from the beginning or in the counterattack?
Hopefully the Tiger wont become this useless piece of bombing prctice target is one Mareth line.
The map looks awesome, I am so excited, its unbelievable. Less new maps, yeah, but the hell its finally coming out!!!!!!! Woooooooh
-
IIRC the Americans start with a spitfire and then gain a fighter bomber for the counter attack phase. The german planes stop spawning I think, but don't quote me on it.
-
ffs where's the Tiger y'all talkin about, I can't find it!! ;D
e: oh, nvm, better read the update properly next time :)
-
The updates says that there where tigers involved in the attack, but there isnt a picture of one released. Or am I wrong. Of course we all want a picture! :D
Another thing will we get an entry for the new map in the Map section of the Fh website, as we have it for Keren? (please!!!) Or could you tell us what the armys start with at the beginning?
-
Can't tell you what the amis start with, cause they got some as of yet undisclosed hardware (will be shown soon I believe). The Germans have a Tiger, all in all 4 PIII of the latest versions, a 6 wheeled scout car with 2cm gun (forgot the number), a Panzer IIf, a Panzer IVF2 and some different types of aa trucks. Almost all German tanks have been re textured to a darker camo, so they fit better into the new terrain.
-
Nicelly done fellas! Very nice!
-
Many thanks for this Info TS! Are you sure its a six wheeled scout car not 8 wheeled? That would probably be a Sdkfz 231.
The new harderware for the Americans is certainly a M10 tankdestroyer with a new awesome desert camo, cant think of anything else. And since the Americans need something to stop that tiger that would make perfectly sence.
Agreed the skins of the Pnazer IV F2 and tiger are way to shiny for this map, maybe the Tiger will look like the one in bovington tank museum. Maybe we will see a devblog about the new skins :D
P.S.: another piciture of the new map can be found at the Fh facebook page.

Well like TS said axis will have mobile AA
-
Hm Lucky your guess seems even more realistic
Wikipedia quote:
The GMC M3 was the most widely-deployed tank destroyer in U.S. tank destroyer battalions during the campaign in Tunisia in late 1942 and early 1943, and was prominent during the battles of Sidi Bou Zid, Kasserine Pass, and El Guettar.
But did the americans already have M10s?
Well like TS said axis will have mobile AA
Right probably the Sdkfz 9 with Flakvierling, but you kow I have a Trauma form all the times the Tiger ends up completly useless on Mareth line, but maybe this map has been changed too.
-
But did the americans already have M10s?
They did but those don't really classify as "new hardware" do they? Besides IIRC WaW had a great custom model of M3 that devs could have reskinned and incorporated into the mod.
-
Please tell us and the server must update the server side for 2.45 ???
-
So, any chance of this map having Singleplayer Support?
-
:o
Maybe now we get to see Sidi Bou Zid?
Ah! I saw that on the Euro test server.
Wooooooo, first US in NA map. This will be an exciting venture! But now I can't wait for Friday...
-

Well, you have a lot more room to manouvere on this map, and more overgrowth to hide among.
Please tell us and the server must update the server side for 2.45 ???
yes obviously
-

I hope so...

Oh man, the tears won't stop.

Part 1!?
Dont you mean part 2? ;)
-
You have to take the counter attack part on this map quite literal. US will be pressed to fight back if they are pushed to the last line.
Is our PR department going to spread the word about that ?
Also this patch is much and much more then these three maps. Current maps have been revamped, night maps introduced as TS wrote in the Dev blogs. It will be so friggin cool.
First time you hear the Hawker Hardy you will want to keep those hankies near ...
-
I've been trying to temper my excitement over the last months without a release date for my own sanity, but now it's overflowing! THIS IS GONNA BE SO GODDAMN AWESOME!!!
-
Will any of the 'Road To' updates give us a re-cap of the changes coming with 2.45? I know it has lots of good stuff in it. Honestly though, there have been so many teaser announcements over time I can't keep it straight in my head anymore.
-
SPREAD THE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It's great to see such excitement here! 2.45 is really awesome and worth year of wait, sadly I won't be able to play FH for some time now. I hope this release will keep player base big for long enough to see you on battlefield, guys! ;)
oh, and I'm sorry I lied you about Sidi in conspiracies thread but I wanted to make nice surprise :D

NO SITE CRASH !?! INCREDIBLE !!!
M3 Halftrack FTW 8)
-
Have you updated your Moddb page yet?
-
I made this for the ingame ad thing, to replace the much hated "2.45 Coming Soon" image, but due to technical problems it can't be changed until after release. So it doesn't go to waste I will post it here:

You could also use this in advertisement posts on other forums.
-
AWSOME M3 Halftrack 8) and Killroy on the front of the TD :) perfect. I'm gonna try to get my hands on that for sure
it also looks in the screens like the gunner in the M3 is a little more concerned about his life then his friends in Normandy, who seem to wanna make themselves as much of a target as possible in the M3A1 ;D
also, the counter attack game mode on this map sounds awsome

My new wallpaper!

when will we get changelog?

Nice!
The only thing i can think of is the 37mm M1 anti-aircraft cannon
-
when will we get changelog?
Forgotten Hope 2 Road to x.xx part 4
I think..
-
Actually, changelog usually gets released on Wednesdays afaik.

I was thinking more along the lines of a changelog for dummies... ;)
-
I guess the dual 50 cal is as deadly for the Stukas as the Flak 38 in Cobra for the Allies :D
-
I'm curious if Sidi Bou Zid will have Springfield rifles for the U.S. Either spawnable or pick up kits.
-
A nice clear presentable changelog needs to be made. All there is at the moment is the automatically generated changelog, which contains over a 1200 changes in chronological order, with significant changes like the addition of new maps, but also insignificant changes like the optimization of the LODs of some model. Important changes are also missing from it, it contains spelling errors and there is no consistency in the use of language between developers.
But might be I have some time tomorrow to take a look at it.
-

^ This. I'm far from a history buff compared to many on these forums, so was the springfield still used fairly often in the tunisian campaign? or were the soldiers on operation torch equiped with mostly Garands?
-
Most soldiers carried M1 Garands, so this is the primary rifle of the rifleman kit. The scout and engineer have the M1903A1, assault carries the M1928A1, Support the M1918A2, anti-tank the M1 Bazooka and the NCO can choose between M1928A1 and M1 Carbine.
-
That's exactly the kit layout I was hoping for :) Thanks very much for the input Lightning!
Wait a minute... were my dreams just fulfilled?
-
Which mags will the Thompsons use? Is it going to be like the Brits have it (assault,50rnds/ officer,30/20rnds)
-

You will be quite happy :3
-
I don't feel like starting an entire new topic because of this so I'm gonna ask it here: are there any suppression effects/shaders in the mod right now? I played some FH2 today and apart from the wounded bleeding shader, I don't think I got anything when bullets were flying right by my head.
-
there is a suppression shader, makes your screen kinda blurry and does have a nice effect, although only mg and light mgs can suppress you, rifles etc. cant.
I personally wish this was changed but iirc it was to give ppl more incentive to use the light mgs for support.
-
AFAIK, for a long time now, there has been a problem with ATI graphic cards, where the suppression effects just won't work.
-

It is also occuring on Nvidia graphic cards. If I remember correctly the suppression shaders stopped working when the 2.4 version was released.
Back on topic: The M3 variants are simply looking great! Great job. I really can't wait to use the 75mm cannon version. I think that in real life this vehicle would have had some serious issues with recoil or was it fired only from a parked position? (with chocks placed behind wheels)
-
ah yes finally I can show my M3 montage shot. How many M3s do you spot?
(old, skins may have been updated since)
-

The vehicle weighs 9100KG. It can shoot on the run without recoil problems.
As for suppression, its a bugged feature due to a variety of reasons, consider it scrapped though it may still exist for some.
-
Will AT ahalftrack have special ammo and can it damge a Tiger frontally with regular ammo?
Also do the Americans have another At gun besides the small 37mm one?
Thanks

Not special ammo exactly, however they were in the transition period between AP and APC shells. APC shells are designed specifically for penetrating face hardened German armour. You will find both on Sidi Bou Zid, however APC shells are not special ammo they were standard issue. Your vehicle will come equipped with either AP or APC, not both.
We only compensate for this in FH2, we don't do calculations that differ for face hardened armour.
So the 37mm can penetrate up to 50mm armour in Sidi Bou Zid. This is also introduced for some other guns such as the 2 pounder, which is given APC ammo for late desert maps which penetrates 50mm, and only 40mm in early war.
For the Tiger, you will need several sideshots with the 75mm to take it out. There's also explosives to take it on.
-
Or the landmine does it quite well.
-
Looks like a awesome update. Has the M3 Lee/Grant 37mm Cupola view been fixed?
-
As in is it only in zoom mode?
Not hardly...
(http://yinlixx.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/absolem.jpg)
-
Looks like a awesome update. Has the M3 Lee/Grant 37mm Cupola view been fixed?
I'm not about the Grant, but on the Lee the turret has normal and gunsight cameras like normal tanks (I think this is the case for the Lee turret's turret and for the Grant turret too).
-
Yer, both do. This was fixed quite early in the march to 2.45. Even the top mg on the Lee has an alternate view.
-
wha..?
AWESOME! That might be just the best thing ever!
-
There any change log to download?
-
Do the Germans already have Mg42 on this new Africa map? And have the Shermans in Africa (only in Africa) been rebalaced?
I jsut checked it again offline with a Panzer III J early you need 3 shots Panzergranate 40 (!) to the front of a Sherman to kill it.
With a Panzer III J late you need 2 shots Panzergranate 40 (!) to front of a Sherman to kill it.
Also with a Panzer IV F2 you need two shots with regular ammo besides very(!) close ranges, also to a Sherman to the front. A Sherman on the other hand con alwasy one-shot you.
An other thing that keeps bothering me is the blocked freelook to the rear in Pnazer IVs and Panzer III J early by the commander cupola.
-
Do the Germans already have Mg42?
...what?
-
Probably means that do Germans have MG42 in Africa.
-
If it was mentioned in the news update I must have missed it so I have to ask, is a passworded torrent of the release coming out today? Nice to have it already on our hard drives and ready to install come release time/day.

-
Changelog won't be until tomorrow I'm afraid. Unsure if passworded preload files will be ready for today, but I may be able to sneak a Part 3 in later this evening.

Yes, please... I still can't imagine what else could be put in for 2.45
-
Probably a lot, hope we at least see torrent downloads like in the previous patches, this would allow instant action as soon as possible on friday..
-
Oh yeah!
Preparations to get pumped;
* Read through the comments in this thread.
* Look through the devblogs
* See the BoB series once more
* Buy a new cp
* Move holiday one week forward!
YEAH! Thank you soo much FH2 dev-team <3 !!
-
Have you got part 3 set up?
I'm interested to see what's in it. :D
-
yeah i like to see the changelog :)
and are there any new animations from chad509 in this new build?
-
You guys are going to shit your pants when you get your hands on the patch.

please explain why we will shit our pants ;D
-
oh cool, so Sidi Bou Zid does have an airfield due to need for AA guns on it? I didn't see one on the map.
-
please explain why we will shit our pants ;D
Well, I would tell you, but then you would have to undergo torture in El Presidente Lobo's Banana Republic, and I assure you, a ride on one of these isn't worth it.

Will this be revealed in a future road to 2.45 update?

-
I guess they have a big present for us.

there are no airfields on this map
-
are the mapping file,s be updated when 2.45 is released i like to start mapping again but the 2.4 files are down so i have to wait, now i hope you release the file,s fast after 2.45
-
I guess nothing is coming tonight.
-
What are they up to? ???
-
I fixed my machine and now I will be able to enjoy the patch on the same day it will be released!
Can't believe it!
-
Dear developers and beta testers.
I want to make space on the Russian advertising 2.45 help me with the following requests;
1.Mne need a short description of the 2.45
2.Mne need four screenshots from the game without editing.
-
Morning Markus, why don't you just take the description and the screenshots from the main page?
Or use some of these great shots that Natty selected for the FB update:

I think he wanted to know if the map has planes. There are rough airstrips at the HQs, but no airfields.
-
Looks like a awesome update. Has the M3 Lee/Grant 37mm Cupola view been fixed?
yes
-
Awesome, this'll breathe some life back into the servers... 8)
What does this update weigh in at (full/patch)?
-
Full install will be 4,1 GB split in 2 parts.
There will be no patch form 2.4 (it turned out to be ~4GB so no point in releasing one).
-
Damn, that is immense!
Better release it soon because most people will need a day to download such heavy things
-
Does this mean you heave to unistall your FH2 first and then download the two parts of 2.45 and install?
-
Does this mean you heave to unistall your FH2 first and then download the two parts of 2.45 and install?
The installer should automatically get rid of your old fh2 installation, but it always safe to manually remove "mods/fh2" folder and "My Documents/Forgottenhp 2/mods/bf2".

It's... It's.... TOMORROOOOW!!!! :D

There will be no patch form 2.4 (it turned out to be ~4GB so no point in releasing one).

Content and gameplay wise it's a totally new FH2.

On the map page you mean? Unfortunately you can only list vehicles on a map that are also listed on the website. The new stuka doesn't have an entry yet, so it can't be listed.

Is there a pre-release torrent?

ITS COMING
part 3 on ze way
make sure no one else in the area is using up bandwith and fire up Transmission!!
-
8 minutes till Part 3!
Best part is, 2.45 comes out the day before my birthday.
Well, that's not the best part because 2.45 is coming out and FH2 hasn't become vaporware (if that's possible)
-
No bot support? :(
Oh well,
Trailer looks amazing,

I guess this is the old Tiger skin isnt it? Trailer is amazing my hands are shaking, because of excitment!

Great trailer !
Now advertise it everywhere people !

also is it custom music? if so who scored it? sounds great

Seeing that the 2.4 torrent file was unavailable for some time, I wonder if you guys should also use a magnet link? Fh2.45 Magnet Link (http://magnet:?xt=urn:btih:24847731C9F4E00BDFC5BBD252E136BE9F68D129) - works just as well as a .torrent file except it takes a few seconds to find peers. Good thing is it doesn't require any .torrent files to be uploaded/downloaded ;)
EDIT: Works except your forums format it in some weird way...

Apologies about the lack of the changelog, Lightning is currently working on it. Hopefully it will be complied soon, but a full year of work is a lot of text to sort out.

Fantastic trailer.
Lets have some good teamplay matches tomorrow!

Oh well,

sadly focus was not AI this time around.
However, some vehicles that previously lacked correct bot support like the quad .50, Crusader AA, Gabeltladung, the wespe, etc have it now. Not to mention ai support for all the new vehicles and weapons as well as Keren with full working ai support and all the correct vehicles.
Also, Bastogne has bot support and Hurtgen forest (Infantry only though) and Vossenack have been added to the official build.
Also ESAI is now a part of the official FH2.
This is all work done by Kev4000 (Vehicle AI and Keren), Void (ESAI), and Ballard44 (Navmesh of 3 maps)

* Removed Operation Aberdeen
YOU DID WHAT?
Seriously no matter how ugly that map was it was the only proper NA tanking map where you could properly use terrain to your advantage and have interesting tank shootouts (Yes I know Axis won't agree :P)...
-
YAY!!!!!! Changelog for dummies!
I forgot about the Bishop, can't wait to FINALLY drive a functionalBishop. Don't ask me why, but I love that boxy mobile artillery.
Of course the truth of the matter is that, like many old-timers here my priorities have changed. In 2004, I would have stayed in my apartment and spent the whole weekend playing after release day, even if it is the middle of summer.
Now, I have a wife and 2yr old daughter. It is actually more important to me that I spent my summer weekends with them. (beach, parades, picnics, etc.) Much as I would like to, I probably won't play at all on release day, or the weekend after. (Maybe a little after 9pm PST if anyone is still on.)
-
Why has Operation Aberdeen been removed?
-
Why has Operation Aberdeen been removed?
It was broken and shit.

Operation Aberdeen was the worst map in Fh closly followed by Supercharge and Mareth Line, I am glad it has been removed. Tank fighting was incredibly unbalaced for Axis, I hope NA tanking has been fixed, looking at the NA Shermans...
-
This might be just the best thing ever!
Also, looking for 2/3 crew members for my Lee/Fiat M11/39. Ammo, Cannons, machineguns, and lots of dying included.

Didn't Keren originally have bot support?

Did you manage to get rid of the performance problems of vossenack?

Good to hear Vossenack, Bastogne and Keren have ai support including the new vehicles/weapons :).
Some very interesting things in the changelog like earlier mentioned trucks with aa/at guns.

Speak for yourself, Supercharge is one of my favorite FH2 maps, and Mareth is very well done. I'm glad they both got some love in the changelog so the servers will have incentive to play them.
Op. Aberdeen was the only map in FH2 that felt out of place. It LOOKED and played like a test map (which iirc it originally was). Even tho it was hated by many I'll be sad to see it go. Hopefully the devs are just doing some Major tweaking with it and maybe well see it in a different incarnation in a future release.
-
Why all the hate?
I loved aberdeen!
Felt like a FH1 map.
-
Release looks absolutely stunning. Sadly I can't play this weekend but I hope to find some time next week.
Should we still have BF2s AA turned off and use the graphics card's AA instead?

will the boxing rink be transferred to another map?

And now we start....
Bad change imo...
-
but eh... isnt that quite a bit unrealistic? and supporting bunny hopping (sp?)
I think 'bunny hopping' was still possible anyway, it never worked very well but you could always jump when you were out of stamina you would just always not be able to sprint afterwards, this shouldn't effect it that much. But I am curious to know how this played out in beta testing and what the reasoning was behind it.
Edit: maybe there should be a separate changelog disscussion thread seeing as ppl have alot of questions... not saying the devs should have to answer all of them but its aroused alot of feedback
-
Pfft, WWII soldier carried next to no gear at all but in FH2 they couldn't run for shit ;)
And bunny hopping doesn't really work in FH2 :/
i understand, but then why not just raising a little the stamina and decreasing the speed of lost stamina while sprinting? because from they way it seems i'll be able to cross the whole el alamein map sprinting non stop...

How large is the El Alamein map? 2x2km? I've sprinted over 2 km in full field gear, never mind WW2 combat gear.
-
Dis a good change, bunny hopping doesn't work anyway (what help is it anyway?), and one of the most annoying this ever was getting stuck on something, jumping up few times while trying to "release" yourself, and not being able to sprint at all because of that (how is that realistic? couple jumps and out of breath?)
Stamina lost was already very slow. It won't change anything whatsoever, unless you always try to run through a desert on foot...

It's not the bunny hopping that worries me, it's the rambo gameplay that could get encouraged if you never have to get behind cover and can just run around... But IMO it's a wrong way to go... They should have went with increased running speed (makes people harder to hit) and decreased stamina drain for jumping (but still able to get out of breath after sprinting so you need to plan you movements ahead).
-
Seriously, wait until you play the new version before criticizing.
-
But...You already can run very long distances with the current stamina system! Just try it out if you still have 2.4 installed... In close range fights, it won't make any difference.
Anyway.
* Removed StG44zf pickup kit - NOICE
* Tweaked HE projectiles to do small damage to armour - NOICE!!
Does that mean we can actually HE spam tanks to death? If yes then...I can't wait for KV-2
-
This might be just the best thing ever!
Also, looking for 2/3 crew members for my Lee/Fiat M11/39. Ammo, Cannons, machineguns, and lots of dying included.
You know full well I'll be crewing the MG turret on the Lee as much as possible. Fuck yah uselessness!
Also, on the sprinting, I found it to be VERY nice. Means no more suddenly running out of steam 10 feet from cover and such, and dying because of it. It encourages better cover to cover play, and imo, is a very good change.
And technically you could, but it won't work too well, you'd die rather fast. Mostly, it is to allow HE shells to kill APCs, as they would irl.
@Thorondor: I always wonder why the militaries of the world now insist that soldiers carry upwards of 100lbs of gear into combat...soldiers obviously didn't need to do that in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam, and yet somehow, they managed to fight far, far more savage battles than anything we have seen in the past 20 years.
-

There is no way to really bunnyhop in Fh2

I'm assuming because of lower casualty rates and improved firepower per soldier. 25 kg for a vest that stops assault rifle rounds; plus a shitload of ammunition, grenades, flashbangs, smoke, markers, etc. for extended firefights; ACOG, flashlight and GL for your weapon; sidearm; rations, extra socks and whatnot; and radio for effective communication. Add AT weapons, breaching explosives/shotgun, MP gear, LMG, Medkit, mines, and so on for certain individuals. All this adds up to a lot of weight, but can prove to be effective under the right circumstances. It's not like this is a must for all missions.
/Edit: The point is: a lot of this stuff can be a lifesaver, and it makes every single soldier a one man army, more or less.
-
That 25 kg vest wasn't the most comfortable thing to wear, but I would not go to combat without it. :d
-
I understand the idea of the bullet proof stuff, and more ammo, and such. But it seems to me that carrying a lot of the stuff I see is useless. I've seen american troops in Iraq storming houses in Fallujah whilst wearing their sleeping rolls on their backs |: It seems there's a bit too much focus on comfort...war isn't comfortable. I'd rather have to sleep on bare dirt for a night, or go hungry for a day, than get killed because I am unable to move as fast as I could minus 50lbs of crap. But that's just me. :P
-
...I really can't defend the idea of room clearing with stuff that's basically field gear and not combat gear. I'm guessing those guys were on some extended combat mission where they couldn't ditch some of the unneeded stuff.
-
* Activated anglemod on airplanes, What does this mean?
* Tweaked ragdoll behavior to be more realistic, verry cool
* Added duck ability to Lafettes, nice
* Standardised MG overheat system, What does this mean?
* Added SF14 Periscope ;D
verry nice chance,s like to see more of that cool stuff and tweaks
good job dev,s
-
I'd have to write about ten paragraphs to accurately describe all the excitement I experienced reading through the changelog, so I'm not even going to attempt to get these emotions in text form :)
I will say that the trailer gave me chills though... So unbelievably epic.
-
What is ESAI bot behavior?
Advanced bots?
-
* Activated anglemod on airplanes, What does this mean?
* Standardised MG overheat system, What does this mean?
First makes planes either less or more resistant to bullets (I can't remember which, it was a long time ago). Second means that the number of bullets you can fire before overheating is more consistent between different guns.
-
I'lll not lie to you, pizzzaman12
ESAI isn't very functional as yet. What ESAI does is to make commander AI more precise and more tactical.
But it requires individual map tweaks that weren't quite done in time for release. So it really wont change much.
But its a big deal to have it officially a part of the mod, since as I recall, it was much liked as an add-on.
We have new SP maps
We have working vehicles that werent working before in SP
we have working mg42 for instance, doesnt work in 2.4
We have all the new toys with ai.
We have Keren with AI with the working Hardy and Italian tank.
My personal favorites are the mg42 lafette which is now a true killer in maps it exists in,
the working AA guns i.e the quad .50 and Crusader AA,
and the working gabeltladung. Now the NA Axis have a way to deal with Allied armor.
There was more things I'd have loved to get in, but sadly, time and rl constraints didnt make this possible.
But rest assured, SP isn't dead - or dying. You have its most fanatical advocate in the Beta testing team, so there is always someone to wine, dine, coax or coerce to get SP done.
Like you, I have a wishlist too. And I'm working on it - Not least of which is getting SP for the 2 new maps, especially Sidi Bou Zid with all its new toys and open desert combat. Should be a more interesting Alam Halfa, Alamein when its done.
-
Trailer is amazingly well done! So bloody excited
-
We have confirmed bicycle animations. My life is complete.
Really looking forward to the release guys, great job. : )
By the way, Kubador, how on earth did you make such a good looking trailer with battlerecorder?
-
Awesome! :)
So Keren and Sidi
will have SP?
-
Battle of Bastogne! Here I come!!!! Thanks a ton Djinn!!!
This better bring old players, regulars and SPers back! :D
-
Good to hear Djinn.
Can you or an other dev put the download files in the singleplayer section when ai is ready for these maps? Would be great to play these maps when the servers turns empty again after some time, especially if the next release would be eastfront which will most likely take another year.

Beau was already on SC, Churchill will probably be target practice for Stuka anyway...
But I don't approve the removal of Matilda from Crete! 8)

Taking away stamina is like taking heat mechanics away from Battletech. Before, crossing any open space was a risk/reward type of thing: do I have stamina to cross there or should I rest for a moment (and risk being hit by incoming fire in the meanwhile)? Now there is no reason NOT to run errywhere.
Also, regarding the forceful removal of Aberdeen, light the torches and sharpen those pitchforks! It's still better than Supercharge or Siege of Tobruk, for example. Someone, anyone, back up that map and put it up for download, so it can be added to server rotation >:(
Ducking on Lafettes and tweaking of ragdolls sound good though.

Uh yeah, I honestly can't believe that sprint stamina and jump stamina has been taken out. What's to prevent people from bunny hopping? Also, I never thought stamina drain was an issue ... it added tactical depth to crossing expanses of open terrain. Now that's completely gone ... someone care to explain this baffling decision??
Also, I've noticed an alarming number of maps losing bazookas as anti tank weapons, especially in Normandy and Battle of the Bulge. What gives? Axis armor is very powerful on these maps, and you're taking away bazookas?? I don't understand these changes in the least bit.
On the whole I'm looking forward to the release, but these big unnecessary gameplay changes have certainly put a dent in my excitement...
-
^A valid point- though to my own big surprise i quite like this feature in BF3. For me it somehow feels more natural to have a sprint ability whenever i want. In FH2 i rage massively sometimes, cause i couldnt jump over an obstacle because of a nade to take cover just because my stamina was 1 minibar too low- thus i remain scptical but also looking forward to this
-
Moved my comment here:
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=17491.msg259835#msg259835

The whole "Oooh bunnyhopping" thing is bs though, there's nothing stopping you from jumping endlessly in 2.4 as you can keep jumping even with zero stamina. Besides, anyone with some leg muscles can keep jumping for a very long time (see youtube for sack-racing)
As for "omg you can run forever", well in FH2 the sprint doesn't really sprint. In BF2 the speeds you could go were walk, jog, or RUN!!. In FH2, the default speed, and the sprint speed, are slower, so the speeds are closer to sneak, quick walk & quick jog. Even I could jog over 1800m in my last Cooper test (12min of running on a track). Now if the sprint was actually changed into a true sprint, then yes you shouldn't be able to do it longer than a minute. But then you'd have a bunch of speedy gonzales' running around.

Only Keren.
I am pushing for Sidi because its one of its kind.
But sadly, it doesnt as yet.
The SP map list for 2.45 (Maps that didnt have SP prior) are:
Keren, Vossenack, Bastonge, Hurtgen Forest.
All are partially done i.e they work, but certain aspects aren't quite finished so its not as solid as say, Alam Halfa, Port en Bessin etc
-
In BF2 you had the decision: run or RUN FAST AS HELL for a short time without being able to use your weapon.
In FH2.45 you have the decision: walk with weapon at the ready or run without being able to shoot. No stamina needed.

The "bunny hopping" thing got me to wondering. I just tested it and you can continually jump in 2.4 at walking speed, which is slow, but the running jump is alot faster and you can currently get about two jumps at running speed and then stamina is out. Right now if I get caught out in the open i'll zigzag run, wich is pretty effective especially against bolt actions. Now youll be able to ad some zigjumps in there.
Anyways, very excited about new version even though I havnt had the chance to get to play all the current maps. Last few days on WAW server have been great with all the ppl playing. Rarely was a 64 map played before.

Hello everyone! First of all awesome trailer Kubador! It looks like FH2.45 is going to be another epic release!
To keep your anticipations running and your adrenaline pumping through your veins I've released a youtube video showing a lot of new content present in the 2.45 release.
All information was gathered from the news updates released between August 2011 and today.
Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vnjtfobrgs
-
@mopskind: you are right, but i can't try it out now, I'm away from a gaming rig, I'm at a library. But I removed my post, so you could do the same as you replied to me.
Though my last statement stays: If at any point in time FH is going arcade or faster than it is now, I'll be out. I like games that I can enjoy, not run through. When the game is too fast, the setting doesn't matter much any more. But the FH2 settings are great, so I assume that we get the time to enjoy them as well as tactical combat, not fast mouse clicking and key pressing. And imo the bunny hopping soldier puppet dosn't really fit in the setting. Then I need a kind of "open season" setting.

Oh my god, they actually added bot support for Vossenack, added artillery bot support, AND added Bastogne and Hurtgen bot support. what about new maps though
Also, they finally added a Fallschimjager helmet. YES!
-
Not being able to find a (good) and filled server for a couple of months now, I uninstalled last week. Should have waited another month hehe.
Oh well. Have fun with 2.45 y'all.
So ? 2.45 is the full mod. It uninstalls the 2.4 automatically anyway AFAIK.
-
It uninstalls the 2.4 automatically anyway AFAIK.
But its always a more "healthy" way to uninstall the old version before installing the new one right?
-
An uninstall is in both cases just a delete task for the folders under battlefield2\mods\fh2\ and mygames\forgottenhp2\

OH GOD PLEASE NO!! I spent so long fixing up the keys fh2 had set up that I couldn't edit in-game. Some of us don't use wasd.
Thanks for the warning to back up all my keybinds.

Looks like there's Tiger..
Looks like there's no planes..
Looks like German biased ;D
Check the Facebook page for a whole album of planes to be in this update!

Yeah I hope this gets mentioned at the release news post in bold letters because IT WILL DELETE ALL YOUR CUSTOM FILES including CUSTOM MAPS THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON.
-
Did it get released?! What did I miss?!
-
Wait so what do I have to do before installing the 2.45 ? Step by step please :D
I don't wan't to screw anything up ! Not now.

1) If you are a modder/mapper that is bad at modding/mapping and use your stock fh2 dir for edits instead of a copy-pasted fh2 folder called fh2mod, make sure to back up any custom stuff you've made/are working on.
2) If you've manually edited the keybinds/other files in the my docs\fh2 folder, back those up.
If you've done neither and just like to play the mod, there's nothing you need to worry about ;)
-
I hereby want to sincerely thank the developers, betatesters and supporters of FH2 for their outstanding work. You have created the best WWII themed game I have played so far, and I think that even in ten years, nothing will be able to replace FH2, since it is unique and of splendid quality. I couldn't believe that the last version could still be further improved, but you proved me wrong. I love nightmaps, so I was really pleased when I heard about the 32-layer changes. The new animations are also much more immersive than the ones they replaced. I have some Questions, though. Did ESAI get added to every map, or only a few? And did the night versions (32 player layers) receive bot support?
I can't wait until 1800 hrs. :P

Is the site prepared to a massive flooding access, without crashing badly ?

Hey I'm a little confused about the time when the patch is released.
I live in Finland so it's GMT+2 time. It's 19.30 here right now. Yet the clock on the main page says it's 16.30 GMT ?
That's 3 hour difference. What am I missing here ?

With this in mind I assume/hope the people running this forum will have a simplified page in place of the normal forums that just has the torrent password and direct download links and some minimal description/instruction(at least for an hour or so after release time). I believe this is what they did when 2.4 came out and IIRC it worked out pretty well with people being able to get on the site and get the password.
-
We will post the password here and on other sites anyway. If you can't get the password, you did something wrong ;)

Oh! New News appeared in the main Site!

Yeah it got to 22% 'Extracting Setup Files' and then said 'data error unspecified error'. I tried again but no luck, so I re-extracted and its at 62% and still going now. Fingers crossed..

I have no idea what aspect ratio means :o
Immersive HUD ? What is that ??

Aw they're playing already. :(
I have to wait an hour.
-

Immersive HUD ? What is that ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_display_standard
Aspect ration is the rectangularness of your screen. It is likely 16:9.
-
Damn I need more cores for extracting... 3 just doesn't cut it...
-
Aspect ration means if you have 16:9 ( a 1920x1080 monitor) or 16:10 screen (a 1680 x 1050 monitor)
Immersive hud means you won't see minimap, ammo counter and other things on your screen

Is hslan still on 2.4? Just crashed while trying to join... Those lazy WoT-ers!

Its so true ;D
Well, just finished my workout routine, off to my dads for some 2.45!
-
And I was wondering what the hell was up when it crashed on me 3 times in a row :D God dammit hslan admins, what am I paying you for?? Oh wait, I'm not.. but I guess I should be ;D
-
Yeah it's seems that for the first time in (recent) FH history hslan is not updated (and therefore empty) on release day... Don't make me switch to 762 ya bums!
-
Well done FH team, well done... this release is WAAAAYYY better then what i expected
-
Damn,
St Vith is too detailed
Keren is excellent!
And haven't tryed Sidi yet. :-\
But I have a problem.
How do I stop the FH2 from trying to configure it?
Everytime I do it I have an error!
~cheers
-
tommorow gotta find BF2 disc and reinstall the whole dam. this is looking very promising!
-
Why did you uninstall in the first place? 8)
-
So the day is here ;D
What's this ? Bot artillery support ? Is that the spotting system or a way to call commander artillery.
Thankyou FH team 8)
-
Can't find Keren in singleplayer? ???

New HDD a few weeks ago, old one died

It's there, look under "Battle of Keren"

Unable to find it.
Only Battle of Brest.

DAMIT WHY IT'S A SOOO BEAUTIFULL DAY AND WHY MY ENGIENEER PARTY IS TODAY WHEN 2.45 COMES OUT ?!?
I've only had the time to try a bit Mareth Line and St-Vith. Mareth is a lot nicer with trees a bit all around. St-Vith seems to be incredibly well detailled, tought I've seen only a small part of the map. The thing that surprized me the most is the invisible HUD. For the moment it's the day and night, I like it for more imersion, but you are kind of "blind" since you always have to look at your map to know what's happening, to see the team score, what flags your team are holding, etc. I'm working on the next four days, so I will not have a lot of time to spend on FH2( I know I'm sad about it) but for the moment 2.45 seems quite interresting, pushing my expectations at each patch, FH2 will always surprises me and I'm happy to rediscover this game after each updates. Thanks devs for your work.
-
So why did you turn off the hud? The immersion hud is only activated if you choose to turn it on, and you can turn full immersion off again just as easily. :P
-
I know, I found cooler to do not use the HUD, but it's harder. I like that 8)

Oh! I misread your post, I thought you were complaining about it :P xD Had someone doing that on the server not a half hour ago, had to explain that he could turn it off any time, the same way he turned it on <.=.<

@pizzzaman12
You will be able to play the Battle of Keren map with bots by creating a local game. All you have to do is to click on the multiplayer tab, select create local, then select coop in the gamemode list, after that you can select Keren from the maplist. Limit the number of players to one, and enjoy! :D
Oh, and by the way I think that you will be absolutely loving this: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=14093.15
It really improves your FPS and brings a whole lot of options that are not available in SP.
-
Thanks, It worked! :)
-
WAAAAAAIIIIIIITT just a moment, I go to France for a week, just got back and THIS happened?
FFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
-
Couldn't manage to play as I was working very hard :-\ hope to play the new version today or tomorrow.
Btw does Sidi Bou Zid have SP version?
-
Btw does Sidi Bou Zid have SP version?
Not according the the Changelog (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/screenshotsfh2/news/2.45_release/ForgottenHope245Changelog.txt). Keren would be really nice with SP and Coop support. But these things can be added over time. It's a bit more difficult with FH because of the many map revisions that means generating navmeshes (for the AI) has to be left to last. All part of FH quality control ;D
-
I don't know what you did with the AI but now they Bayonet Charge :)
-
You guys are going to shit your pants when you get your hands on the patch.
So um,
Why did we shit our pants? ;D
-
okay,
so is it just me or do alot of CTD issues happen when tweaking 2.45? I tweaked up some kits and map factions and in the spawn menu, there are no kits, and i get a CTD when I try to spawn. This happening to other people? Thanks
-
In 2.45 there is a new way of loading kits to reduce loading times and memory usage. You need to specify which kits to load for each map. AFAIK there is a script to do that, maybe a dev can write a tutorial.
-
You got any problems with connection via HLSW?still lost connection to server,firewall off...in game server browser works ok
-
When you lose connection to the server, does it give the specific error? or does it crash to desktop?
If it is MD5 or even something with punkbuster, you might want to update punkbuster just to be safe.
-
just connection to the server lost or,first is this advert. window and then few seconds after connection to the server lost,in game browser works ok without this error,pb checked/updated and pb service test ok
-
I have the same problem, each time I try to connect for the first time to any server I got the "connection lost" message. Appeared with 2.45
-
I had it with 2.4 as well, and it seems like vanilla BF2 has similar problems, so the problemisn't in the mod, it's probably on BF2 mainserver.
-
+1 me also... every time I press join on a server it says 'connection lost' so I need to press it again.
Very annoying when you've been hammering hslan or FHT server to get in when it's 64/64....
btw; Im running BF2 Origin install on both my machines (work + home)
-
My suspicion is a serverside error but not with BF2.
The disconnect also has a nasty habit of kicking an existing player, when the new player is attempting to join. On WaW yesterday, it was so persistent that we couldn't actually max out the server for a number of maps due to all the d/c's.
-
Did not have this problem with 2.4 or any previous version, only appeared with 2.45.
Then again, I had a couple of months' break inbetween, so might just be that BF2 master server has started to act up in the meanwhile.
-
I swear to god that it isn't a problem with the master server.
My log in's work every time, with no delay but I get a persistent "cannot connect to server" or "server connection is lost" when I initially click to join a server.
In addition, when you do join, there is a correlation between the player numbers before and after you finally joined up. ie: 60 players connected > join server > 60 players when you connect to server and start playing.
Do the math and one player is persistently missing/ disconnected as 60 + 1 = 61
-
I've had the same. Plus, I notice massive disconnects at times. This was on the WaW server, I believe.
-

Exactly the same here.
-
"connection lost" appears me before in 2.4 and now in 2.45 versions and in any server, the first time I try connect.
-
Guys, the "first connexion try failure" has nothing to do with FH, neither 2.4 nor 2.45. This is caused by a wonky Punkbuster update that surfaced around May 2012. :(
-
I'm also having a problem with another PB kicking error: Multiple Direct3D-A.
Apparently it's because of nvidias latest optimus drivers, and it effects Ass Greed Revelations as well.
-
bobohohohohoho missed release ;( have to wrok every goddamn game! will try to get some time tonight :'(
-
It was mentioned in the changelog that there is s
"Mount Ormel" (Hill 262) map. :)
That means a Polish faction! ;D
But who'll do the Polish voices?
Jan_Kurator? ;)

Polish voices were done ages ago. You can hear them in FH.
-
Never really liked or dislike the BAR 1918 but the Polish version of it you could find as a pick-up kit on Eastern Blitz in FH1 was badass. It just looked so cool.
-
No not the FH1 voices,
The ones when you press Q and select what to say.
Was that in FH1?
-

The Polish army was in FH1. FH2 will use those voice commands just like they are using voice commands for every other army right now.
-
You mean all the German/Italian/UK/USA/etc. sounds are from FH1?
Like the "Charge" command?
-
Every voice set in FH2 is from BF42/FH 0.7.
BF42 / RTR voices:
- German
- British
- American
- Canadian
- French
- Italian
- Russian
- Japanese
FH 0.7 voices:
- Finnish
- Polish
- Australian
Australian voice set was originally made by some Pacific mod, but I forgot its name.
-
Then there are other voice sets that might be usable if the content creators allow the use of them:
- Dutch (by Forgotten Honor)
- Norwegian (Norwegian Resistance minimod to FH 0.7)
These two does NOT belong to the "default FH2 voice set" but I could imagine that they would become available if there was any need for them.
-
So you guys already have voices for all the nations?
:P
Wow, you guys are a step ahead.
-
So the german taunts are still the original Bf1942 ones?
I know this is much to ask, but when we played Day of Defeat in the old days (for Half Life 1) I felt the taunts there sounded a little less "artificial". For example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QruLao0MMO0
Thinking back to my own service time, the commands/voice taunts we would use in training would sound less eloquent than those taunts the German soldiers can use in Forgotten Hope 2 right now.
For example, noone would use for "incoming": "Vorsicht -breathing break-, alle Mann runter"
(too long, half the squad would be cut down by MG before you could react ^^).
Normally we would use "Stellung!" ( ="into Position!") or "RUNTER!" (="get down").
How do you guys feel about having the community bring in their own voices? I'm sure there are enough German/British/French/Russian/... players who are A) equipped with a nice gravelly, soldier like voice and B) eager to help.
What do you think?
-
This has been discussed many times in the past. Of course the devs would like to have custom sounds for all armies. But it would require quite a few people with some voice acting talent and proper recording equipment.
-
especialy the last, recording equipment

I don't know where to start, just got home from vacation... it's spectacular!
