FH was great for 1942

they took way too fucking long to release this...but i'll probably give it a whirl

12/15/2007 12:00:32 PM

that they did, about a year and a half too long... sad part is they basically refuse to take on anymore help.

looks good, but how do you force it to wide screen res? the trick i use for bf2 isnt working.... perhaps add it to the target box rather than just the shortcut box?

so far the improvements, with the early maps and the first release, it plays and looks really damn good, i cant wait to see what they do with the pacific theater!

So what is your thought on the mod?

I got an iMac so I decided to put on bootcamp and give it a try.

Not that bad if you ask me.

It looks like an excellent and thorough mod, but damn it if it isn't frustrating as hell. I never was a huge fan of bf2, but I dusted off my copy and threw this mod on. I tried playing for about an hour or so.

Problem 1) I have a decent mid/high range rig and should be able to play any bf2 derivative at high settings or damn close to it. I had to crank this down to low/medium settings.

Problem 2) The maps are too big with no cover. I would walk for what seemed like half an hour to get to a point (yes, I know there are vehicles, but my team sucked and some n00b ass was always getting me killed if I got in one). So I would walk for half and hour and about the time I get within shooting distance of a point, boom I'm dead.

I usually am pretty decent at FPS, even BF2 which I didn't really care for, but I got raped left and right--and most of the time I had no clue where I was getting killed from. I'll probably spend a bit more time trying it out, but I am not gonna spend dozens of hours conquering the learning curve. I play games to relax and have fun.

yeah foot is not the way to to go in this mod at all, ever, except on the dedicated infantry maps...

what are your computer specs?
i run a amd 3800+ 3 gigs of ram and a 7950GT video card and i have everything on high or near high.... i would just turn down your lighting only....

you're very unlikely to just pick it up and start pwning... bullet drop, combined with much more difficult sighting systems means you have to at least try to play as though it were actually 1941 or so... hell i went 5-8 but had a shit load of points so i was pleased

i have an athlon X2 4800, 2 gig ram, 8800GTS... maybe something is running in the background.

also I hate that your screen goes blurry and you can't hear if someone shoots near you. I suppose it is more realistic than most games I have played. Maybe I will just need to be more patient.

it goes blurry if you get hit hard or it's a shell near you... concussive effects!

yes, patience is a necessity in this mod, it actually helps to be that way in all the BF games... one of the best players i know is like that and he's 50+ years old.
