I hate to admit it, but I think the yay-sayers are bloody right
The game is revolutionary in its approach... Its called project reality for a reason - You need to accept it for what it is... you don't have to walk miles for a firefight (And I'm talking SP/COOP here, where the bots aren't even looking for you but looking for the flags, unlike Conquest, where its the other way around)
Sound effect is second to none - Sure, not as 'fun' and the graphics, compared to FH2 surely are a notch down - But no worse than Vanilla, IMO.
Small tip: In as much as fans of FH2 will advice you NOT to go looking for a mod of BF2 with similar gameplay when exploring Forgotten Hope 2, don't do that for PR either - And lets do a bit of logical reasoning here.. If you shouldn't be looking for a BF2V experience in PR, why, or why the fuck will you go looking for a gameplay reminiscent of FH2?! That's two steps away, isn't it?
Like I always say, I do wish there was a PR version of FH2... not because I prefer PR, which I CERTAINLY do not, but just because I love the difference and would like to see a mod for FH2 like that: Sound, advanced animations, command assets and structure and certainly, the fanbase size... Just for the fun of it
.. on topic, I absolutely love the new effects I see, the JADAM explosion is epic, sound effect and distant sound is second to none.. Almost... I can still see some superiority in FH2's range of aircraft sounds here and there... And the smoke effect from tanks as well as explosion sound effect is something the FH2 devs should really consider using in THIS ga... mod.
