Eyecandy: FH2 Update

[Jimi Hendrix]

 Will we see falling snow any any of the new maps?

On moddb, a team member has stated on each new picture that the film grain has been reduced since the screenshot has been taken.

Can we see updated pictures?

guys, check the post (page 10/12?) with a comparison between PR and the new FH2 pics.

You mean this: http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/15/14384/thumb_620x2000/screen003.4.png

That isn't PR, everything in that image is vanilla BF2 except the map (from NAW?) and the EO Tech sight (by AIX).

DICE had to optimize BF2's content for 2005 hardware before a deadline. FH2 has had around 6 years to create higher quality models with extra details, like the interior of the M3 half track.

Comparing FH2 versions like this is a lot more appropriate.

Same vehicle model so it's a fairer comparison of the shaders themselves.

Check page number nine! There's a leaked screenshot there.

Why thank you, sir.  Good luck on a speedy patch release.  LOS LOS !

Yeah, some of the screenshots in the first post are ones taken in the first beta patch featuring this grain, it has changed substantially.

I hope to see some update this week

When you are told an update is a 'big one', dont expect another for a month. We are talking maps here.

You get anything short of a month, it wont be a map. Maybe a shovel or something.

And it would mean, the map wasnt done in time for the next update.

And map udates are your surest bet to being sure of a close release.

So Yer... Do the time, will ya. Let's get that map ;-)

lol wut? You're thinking that devs are only finishing up another map after showing us one in the news or what? Things you say are nonsense. In my opinion the process of creating and testing goes quite apart from what is shown to us. They're making, balancing and polishing maps for few month and the order in which they show us them is only their choice so you can expect new maps in any time. I don't think that they are showing us some freshly refine stuff and I bet that devs have many cookies waiting to be served.

And I wish to see some update even if it will be a shovel (I wish, I don't ask them to show us something). Btw, for me the shovel isn't less valuable than a new tank or something. Update is an update. But I must admit that I'd most like to see gameplay tweaks.

I agree on the gameplay part of your post jan_kurator. While new content is great, gameplay changes are what makes the game feel new, like these new shaders.

I wouldnt get your hopes up.

The shader effect in FH is so elegantly artistic I might have to put down my gun and fill my 40's pipe. Interesting ... shaders seem to be flavour of the moment as I saw that MAME are using shaders to reproduce classic arcade games running on worn monitors.

I had considered re-doing the Operation Aberdeen map so it wasn't full of suck. It's the odd map out in this mod. It was only half finished when I left FH2, and was only changed a little before release (mostly sensible changes to locations of bases.). I just don't have time anymore, and I have forgotten how to use all the tools because its been so long, lol. Prolly wont happen.
