Good project. This is the only way we're going to get more people outside of the Battlefield (2) community to get the Mod.

I've suggested to Azreal that he contact the EA Battlefield Community Manager and get Fh2 posted up on the Battlefield Blog: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/

You need to make sure to include links in the advertisement you post up.
- links to the FH2 site
- screenshots of FH2
- FH2 trailers
- instructions on where, when and how to get the mod.
- the requirements (you need to have Battlefield 2)

A lot of gaming forums may already have threads about FH2. Just get posting, start up a thread if there isn't one. Keep posting new stuff. That way people will check out the threads and we'll get some anticipation and interest going.

Does anyone from the German community have an account at www.4players.de?
They have quite a fan-base and a news there could bring quite a few guys to our mod.

We mainly need to focus on non-Battlefield news sites or general gaming forums.
Most of the big Battlefield news sites always post up FH2's news items anyway.

I have the following forums covered:

www.hardwareluxx.de
www.3dcenter.de
www.gamestar.de
www.pcgames.de

Total Gaming Network

I have done my part, I managed to get

441 views on one forum and 770 on another, with possibly overlapping population (views are not counted twice for the same forum member). But only a handful of replies...

for our Chinese community I guess around 40 something people are tracking the updates, not an impressive amount, but I think the release party would get bigger than that.


Let's get things done and have the largest release party ever! (of course be tolerant of the massive influx of noobs!)


Let's start a competition and see who could get the most views from outsiders with our advertisements. No cheating with F5 on forums that count repetitive views. I have around 1200, how much do you get ;)?

-36 Maps to Play Online including Point Du Hoc, Invasion of Crete, and Anctoville, and Battle of Hurtgen Forest

Take that first "and" before Anctoville out and it's perfect. ;-)
Oh, and maybe put the offical website's url in there too.

Nice initiative. I'll do my part, for however small it may be.
FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

Awesome man sounds like your doing great. I tried this last release and didnt get too much traction, it seems people are helping out even more this time. I really think FH2 can be an extremely popular mod, it will just take some advertising effort.
