The Nightman cometh!
« on: 21-06-2012, 22:06:02 »
The Nightman cometh

The night is dark and full of terrors, which makes it the perfect time for close combat battles and stealthy sneaking around. However, so far FH2 has been regrettable light on night maps (no pun intended). This will change in FH 2.45, thanks to a new technique devised by Schism-RvtL. The 32 layers of the maps Eppeldorf and Keren will take place at night, adding more variety to FH2's map pool.

Eppeldorf












Keren






Last but not least, we have some good news for fans of fast and dirty infantry action: Vossenack, Gazala and Eppeldorf will feature the new game mode "King of the hill" in their 16 layers. In this game mode both teams fight for a single flag in the middle of the map. Once the flag has been held by one team for a set amount of time, they win the round. This quick and action packed game mode is perfect for starting up servers or passing the time on a slow night and was designed and implemented by Natty.

That's all for now, but stay tuned for more explosive FH2 devblogs!

You are bathing in misery and hope, waiting for someone to come and pull the plug.

Great work, didn't expect to get so many great stuff in the future patch.

I think we will never see and I understand why but it would be epic that the vehicles on these maps(if there are any on 32?) would be able to turn headlights on like the static opel blitz on anctoville but I also think it would be unneeded extra work since it may not get used and it would be bad gameplay for its drivers since they are spotted directly and it is maybe even hard to code or impossible for this engine to make. :( but it would still be epic to see.

I do not like the fact that Karen will be at night. All the beauty and all the efforts in vain :(

Awesome stuffs guys!

And I especially can't wait to see KotH mode. That is FH2 for regular FPS fans.

Btw guys, even though these are on 32p layers, they are basically just alternatives for 64p layers. So I'd  assume that these will show up on hslan maplist at some point.

Would love to see the 32-plyr Eppledorf mini-map too!

Great lighting, but Eppeldorf will definitly stay light for me as I play Coop mode. The map is just too beautiful to do that.
