The thing I like most about the French as a faction in FH2 is how they have their own firearms, artillery, tanks, vehicles, uniforms, language, etc. Makes for a unique experience.
The commonwealth nations, for example, differ so very little from each other. They all have mostly British weaponry and only really differ from one another in accent and uniform. The Italians suffered from the same in the early versions, but now they provide a completely different experience from the German faction.
Keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see the French in FH2 one day.
