Of course. The engine can do pretty much whatever you want and then some, doesn't mean traction wars will do that though 

Special Christmas news update

http://www.twmod.org/news-room/2226-christmas-treat.html#post28644

well I handed out fh2 flyers all weekend at walmart so hopefully US numbers will sky rocket now.

Ah I come from the depths of hell to comment on this...

...CryEngine? Prepare to face the fact that "supermarket PCs" of today (much less older systems) still can't handle something that would be much more demanding than Crysis....

But I might be wrong, those more familiar with the development Traction Wars *coughcoughcough* might have better knowledge.

Fair point but also note that computers capable of handling these new games and demanding games are becoming a lot more common. As time goes on, the more people that invest in upgrading too powerful machines, the less people will backtrack to such old games as Bf2. Personally I think that's a silly thing for gamers to do, since classics like bf2 will always be awesome. But eh, people have gaming-ADD now days This is obvious though. It seems technology kills technology only to reinvent itself with something better. Although I will say, I can run CE3 better then most other new release games I've *attempted* to play on my somewhat mediocre PC.

I get what you guys are saying and both of you have a point. I don't have any experience with the Cryengine, but my point is that all these world-class engines are now freely accesible and that this should thus form no limitation. (up until recent years, the only option was to mod an existing engine or write one yourself).

As for the work that's needs to be redone; this is for the devs to decided. I know that UDK comes with much middleware, including speedtree, physics, stable netcode, backward compatibility etc.
From my experience it is very easy to deploy a simple FPS multiplayer game. Most time goes into customizing the code and creating assets, animations etc.

I realize that this discussion has been mentioned before, but looking at the decreasing number of players I feel the topic is more relevant than ever. It is good to hear that the devs are at least discussing it.

The reason FH should not simply team up with other mod teams is that most mods don't work. Same goes for Traction Wars, although their approach seems professional, I have yet to see them release a first version. FH has an excellent track-record from that respect.

Speaking from a Traction Wars point of view, newer engines and fancy toys really do not make life any easier. If Fh2 is in-need of developers at this point in time, moving to any sort of engine seems awfully unrealistic for obvious reasons (although to be fair I have no clue how many developers are actually active in fh2). TW was and is primarily built up on Cryengine so we never had to worry about completely changing platforms.


Either way I support fh2 until the end of humanity! 

Gotta love the Italian stuff

Nice update!

The best anctoville round I've ever played! 



I love nail biting rounds

Unlockable content attracts players, and keeps players coming back. Which equals a very nice player base. Gives players more to work for, and very commonly gives the sense of reward. Look at so many games now that do this. This may not be you, but its the truth for millions of gamers, it really is a method to the magic.

Unlockable content...face it, its the trend of the times
