Give up the old rigs, please. I did, too, and even when I still had it, I didn't bitch about the next-to-nonexistent hardware demands. If you want your FH2 to look contemporary and better than
that other mod, you can't expect to play it on a gaming rig several generations behind the current. Fact is, if you buy a top-of-the-line system now, it will be "average" the next year and in the bargain bin the year after, three years on and you can't get a slower PC unless you go for an office PC with mobo-integrated graphics.
As for conspiracies, <Palpatine>all is as I have foreseen it</Palpatine>. The REAL reason for the lukewarm reception of fan-vamping Aberdeen into Kasserine was that the They (devs & tadabesters) knew all along that a Kasserine map
was already in the works.
However, extrapolating on that one,
what else they have in the works that they are in public vehemently denying or half-reluctantly disawoving? P-38 Lightning is "not needed" because it is already in the works?
