On the subject of custom maps on public servers, let me take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the project I work on:
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=19327.0It's currently happening on Fridays and Sundays. A map-pack of 10 maps each with 32 and 16 players sizes will be released in the coming weeks, but you can download them now individually and join the WaW public server.
Anyway, I think it would be great if the different communities around FH2 would bury their hatchets and work together to produce an interim release while we wait for FH2 devs to finish their hard work. Everybody is sitting on lots of content. It would take little time and effort to put something together. WaW has a couple of dozen 2.45 compatible maps ready and can quickly some older ones that might be more popular. F|H also has dozens. We also have minimods with custom content and stuff ported from FH1. 762, I believe has a couple of maps and like it or not, they have the most popular public server and their biggest contribution would be to run the release on their server.
We could call it
2.45b or something. I agree that the custom maps are not as playable as the official maps in public play but it would breathe some fresh air into this mod and help insure a player base to receive the next official release.
