BATTLEGROUP 42
« on: 07-01-2015, 01:01:22 »
I'd like to know if FH2 developpers know Battlegroup42.

http://www.battlegroup42.de

I know that BG 42 is a Battlefield 1942 mod but it could inspire you.

Battlegroup 42 was a bit arcade-ish, was good, but FH is much better on the historical side. :)

On the other hand, there was a Battlegroup Frontlines, which was a Eastern Front mod for BF2.

When was the last time you played the mod? Probably a very long time ago then.

The last time I played BG42 ? 2013

I think the developpers/community are still very active.

Well good work to all of you for summarizing and generally dismissing a mod which may very well have more quality content than any other. It seems the majority of those ~150 maps will remain undiscovered for a few more years to come, as well as the apparently unremarkable Greek and Nationalist Chinese armies, as well as everything else that is unique.

Used to play BG42 back in the day, way way before FH even came out. It was fantastic. :)

Did they ever do Finns?

Battegroup frontlines for BF2 rocked, I loved the heavy feeling of their tanks.

I read that this mod is unfinished.

Watch the video.The voice,MG 34 and MP 40 are the same like in PR WW2?I think they took this from this mod because it is the same.
