After playing a few rounds of Forgotten Hope 2, I have decided to flush this mod right down the porcelain fixture!

One of my biggest issues is the sound, it's horrible. Im running SB X-FI with 5.1 surround and some of the stuff im hearing is hundreds of meters away but sounds only 15 meters away.

I also found FH2 to be very unstable had a couple of CTD';s which I have no had with BF2 in over a year.

I give it 2 thumbs down

Then you are in the minority. I've tried out just about every BF2 mod to come out and this is by far the best, least buggy mod I've ever seen. Right now more people are playing this one mod than all the other BF2 mods combined!

Congrats. But was it really necessary to create a topic to say this?

Lolz, No duh this mod just came out Friday so of course everyone is gonna try it.

You have pi$$ on EA as your avatar but you play their games religiously...............So who's the troll!

I seriously doubt any BF2 mod has had 1600+ players playing it after the release.

Obviously you never played the original or you would know that the modders are very committed to fixing issues and like ANY game - mod or commercial - there will always be issues.

It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't working on a hot fix already for some of the slight problems that have cropped up.

[Rhino]

I seriously doubt any BF2 mod has had 1600+ players playing it after the release.

when POE2 released it had a peak of 3.3k players, highest ranking yet due to its early release with lots of new content, but plummited like a stone when the new BF2 patch came out which broke it and all the players wanted to download to check out the new UAV etc...

FH2's peak was only 2.6k players which I think we where all expecting to be much higher...

Thanks alot EA...
****ers

[DasRoach]

I don't really understand why everyone fixates on the numbers...
Its all about having fun isn't it?

anyhow, FH2 has a permanent space on my BF2 installation ;)

[helo]

After playing a few rounds of Forgotten Hope 2You have no credibility then.

My point is that I feel this will be the mod successful of all BF2 mods. I've tried 'em all and this one blows all the others out of the water.

[I am RKO]

Personally, I dont find it as thrilling as Project Reality, playing wise.

But it is a well put together mod, and as Grosskopf said, its the least buggy out of any of the mods.

Your entitled to your opinion Major, but in a forum full of FH Fanboys, your going to be eaten alive like a goldfish in a shark tank.

[the-masterlord]

Good mod apart from the CTD's, been havin a few but overall great mod. On par with POE.

[Deflex]

FH2??? I love that mod. It's in my own personal top 3 list of BF2 mods. I love it's orginaliness... (?) Because it's a WWII mod and I've been waiting for something like that for quite a while. I love the weapons and just all the... stuff. If you think it's soooooooo buggy, then don't give up on it. If I were you and felt like you felt (which I don't) I would just wait until its next release and post some suggestions/feedback on the FH2 mod site that way they can deal with it.

Besides it is about having fun and if they upgrade the gameplay too much then it won't run smooth on other peoples computers so don't complain about the sound just cuz your running SB X-FI with 5.1 surround.

(Besides what does 15 meters away even sound like?)

[DHoff]

FH2 has a permanent space on my BF2 installation ;)

Ditto.

[Verzili]

i have only played 3 rounds my self,and i find fh2 a breath of fresh air.

the game runs silky smooth , and some of the maps are huge.

the hit detection is very good.

i did notice some sort of flickering going on in the sky on one map i played,but that would not stop me from playing it.

there is going to be a few bugs here and there,but the majority of the game is just plain great.

the heal system really ads some realism to the game and i like that.

[Deflex]

your going to be eaten alive like a goldfish in a shark tank.

Mmmmmmm Hmmmmmm.... guess who the sharks are. :p

YUM! Goldfish are delish and they make quite a dish!

[Real-BadSeed]

The flickering in the sky is suppose to be artillery flashes on the horizon. You will notice they coincide with the distant boom sounds. :D

[Sir. Tasty]

Heh i downloaded this before i have put bf2 back on my drive :)

Duh I hate how these forums are filled with a**hats, that is because you have misconfigured your goddamn X-FI card, turn the sodding SVM off so you will get correct distances... pfft :shakehead

At first i was not all that sure about FH2 but now i find myself playing it all the time :)

[zuiquan1]

lol at people complaining about bugs in a BF game.....

:hmm:

[solodude23]

Although FH is certainly a great mod, I did expect a bit better. I know it is just the first release and there is much more to come in future releases. In the meantime I will certainly keep it on my HD.

Personally it's replay value is very low thus far compared to its predecessor as well as Project Reality in my opinion. I know PR and FH have different goals but the overall playability and replay value is much lower in FH imo. FH is definitely my second favorite mod.

Replay value?!??!!? There's so many things to do! Fly recon, spot for artillery, fire artillery, drive tanks, man AT guns, shoot down enemy bombers, dive bomb tanks, snipe enemy infantry from 2km away, lay mines, blah blah blah...And you can do it differently every time!

If you think the replay value is low, I still suggest the same as the others: Keep it on your rig in case you get bored, another release will come soon where there will be more maps. Tons of fun to explore maps and use them to your advantage.

Tons of fun to explore maps and use them to your advantage.I can and have done all those things. It's the fun of doing them then I got tired of quickly. I am not sure why, but I got quite tired of it fairly fast. The overall feeling of the mod didn't keep me interested for very long. I played for the first 4 or so days of release but since then I haven't played. It could be just me, or maybe it's not my cup of tea compared to what I am used to; but I know I did enjoy FH1 quite a bit more and for extended periods of time.

Compared to other mods, it's replay value is actually very high now that I think about it. Maybe its the fact that I am more of a PR guy, but it does seem to have me alot more attached to it as I have not lost interested in it since the very first release. It could be just me, or maybe it's not my cup of tea compared to what I am used to; but I know I did enjoy FH1 quite a bit more and for extended periods of time. Nonetheless, fantastic mod.

[Mayflower]

I appreciate the hard work put in this mod and I really like all the historical and technical stuff they've put in. I have to admit for the low replay value compared to PR, which have a similar type of gameplay (which is even harder, due to many limitations and rules).

But somehow, I past the majority of the times in FH2 looking at the minimap, fighting a little bit, failing to find some teamwork, watching arty and guns bugging. Maybe it's why my interest is going down for that mod after less than a week...
maybe the maps are too big ? Anyway, I think they should've included at least one Berlin-type map, instead of all those endless desert land.

Most mods put accent on realism, but the variety and intensity just go down.
It's just a beginning, let's hope that FH2 will get closer to the BF42 type gameplay.
So far, AIX is the most successful, bugless mod and I think I'll never uninstall it. But when I feel like having a serious game time, I start FH2 and hope not to get spawncamped a whole round by indestructible tanks. (didn't they have any rocket launcher during WWII? that would be great...)

Whats wrong Grosss? You can whine & cry about how muchyou hate EA & bf2 & bf3 but nobody else can say anyting against a mod you do like?? double standard there pal....

back on topic
i didn tknow this mod was out, but then again i'm havein 2 much fun with PR.
you are not worthy, but since its christmas i will put this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFDUOHLUWx0) :nod:

[GrossKopf]

If you're worried about replay value, why not try out one of the Multimod Ranking System (http://mrs-ranking.de) (MRS) servers running FH2? You'll get rank and awards! Woohoo!

lol it's like "come in, we have candies!"

it's not the candies that count, it's the taste
it's not the awards that count, it's the fun. And so far, that last point phailed

But I believe it will get better, especially if they win mod of the year

Meh, the common BF2 player is a stat whore, so I am simply taking advantage of that. ;)

[GrossKopf]

Actually that puts me off :p

The vast majority of BF2 players are stat whores, so it really appeals to the masses :)

but seriously, it doesn't change the game play and you get to enjoy a great mod while getting rank and awards.

[Jumintiger]

Join a clan and go onto their passworded server in clan vs. clan matches. Or just go to any clan server, if they're playing they'll have decent teamwork.

maybe the maps are too big ? Anyway, I think they should've included at least one Berlin-type map, instead of all those endless desert land.

The maps aren't too big, they're the right size now. Don't think of it as something bad; think of it as something that discourages Banzai charges in the deserts of Libya.

Battle of Sfakia is a fantastic urban map. If you don't think that...then you didn't really expect the right things.

Most mods put accent on realism, but the variety and intensity just go down.
It's just a beginning, let's hope that FH2 will get closer to the BF42 type gameplay.

There are quite a few things that were meant for FH2. Look at way past updates on their website. They have a lot of things that are just waiting to be ported, there's just no need for it when no maps can take it.

So far, AIX is the most successful, bugless mod and I think I'll never uninstall it. But when I feel like having a serious game time, I start FH2 and hope not to get spawncamped a whole round by indestructible tanks. (didn't they have any rocket launcher during WWII? that would be great...)

AIX is great and I'll admit is the closest competetor to FH2 (in my opinion).

Indestructable tanks? That's when you stop using the anti tank rifles. They barely hurt most tanks. Call in air support or distract the tank while a comrade sneaks onto it and throws sticky grenades. If tanks are indestructible it's because that particular piece of armor was in real life, to the weapons at the time.

The first recoiless rifles were the Panzerfaust and the M1 Bazooka. They both appeared after the theater FH2 focuses on for now.

Don't worry, devs will probably be moving forward into 1942-1943 era, and that's the Golden Age for the tankhunters...;)

[Deflex]

You can also...

take a walk, tk(!), get drunk, party, and sprint... (if you need the excersice!) :nod: It's true...

Ooh! So many choices! ;)

I really hope FH2 does no such thing and if anything keeps as far away from the BF42 type of gameplay. BF42 was fun no denying that, but FH2 was never meant to be a BF42 clone and never was advertised as such, if anthing it was meant to build on FH1 and incoporate and improve several features that couldn't be implemented due to the limitations of the BF42 engine (refractor 2?)

And if you're looking for "rocket launchers", you'll have to wait, those didn't exist until the later years of the war.

[jameslcross]

After playing a few rounds of Forgotten Hope 2, I have decided to flush this mod right down the porcelain fixture!

One of my biggest issues is the sound, it's horrible. Im running SB X-FI with 5.1 surround and some of the stuff im hearing is hundreds of meters away but sounds only 15 meters away.

I also found FH2 to be very unstable had a couple of CTD';s which I have no had with BF2 in over a year.

I give it 2 thumbs down

Every thought it might be your pc?

BTW awesome mod so far only played briefly but its been awesome... Need to have a go at flying too :-)

[LordInvictus]

LOL
Only installing it because you hear the enemy approaching from far?
More usefull then a problem in my opinion.
And FH2 has the best animator around, man just look at those reloads, Killi Vanilli is the god of animations.
And weapons look perfect sounds are most of very good and all maps are like totally historical correct?
Perfect mod in my opinion. :yay:

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

I'm very surprised at all your German avatar stuff after what they did to your country there buddy.

[Lt Davis]

You mean what the Nazis did.

And weapons look perfect sounds are most of very good

Except for the pistols, they sound like bubble wrap getting popped. :p

It's not about who he is, currently my image is a US soldier in Vietnam, but it's about the pictureshot.
And being interested in history is surprising when some things happened back then?
Except for the pistols, they sound like bubble wrap getting popped. :p
Beretta, no bubble wrap.
Webley, could be some louder.
Walther, it just sounded suckass..
Luger, what else to say?

[Lt Davis]

Beretta, no bubble wrap.

Luger, what else to say?

I just can't stand little wimpy poppy gun sounds, especially since I've fired pistols that are louder than some of the rifles in FH2.

[Deflex]

Yeah, I have to agree. I even shot a little .22 that sounded louder than the FH2 pistols, and of course - I was also wearing ear protection... :shakehead:

On another note, I tried to play FH2 again today and got really frusterated. I have no lag trying to play online with any other mod, but even on my offline account, playing a Single Player game of FH2, I get the worst lag... Anybody else has this problem? I think it might be of the custom shaders the devs used. It's just a wild guess, because I have no clue as to what shaders are, but I know the first time I tried to start FH2, a display came up that warned me to update my shorcuts because it needs to be ran using FH2.exe, and not BF2.exe, because of custom shaders... :confused:

You wore ear protection for a .22...

[Deflex]

You wore ear protection for a .22...

Haha. Yeah I did. I wouldn't if I didn't have to, but the rules at the range are so strict that if you screw up once, you and your whole group has to leave. The rules go on and on and it's pretty insane, but in a way it's good, cuz it allows the people that are serious about shooting and following the rules enjoy their time at the range, while the others get kicked out....

It sucks cuz the guys that work there are old and cranky... :) But overall, I still enjoy it... After all, that's the closest shooting range to where I live, and it's almost an hour away... :( Sometimes it's worth it, but a ton of stuff adds to whether the experience turns out good, or just flops. Like the weather has got to be somewhat decent, make sure you don't forget your trigger lock (like I did before - lol), and hope the employees are in a good mood... ;)

[LordInvictus]

I have to agree with the fact that sounds could be alot louder but knowing the FH devs the sounds itself are correct. Only the volume could be better.

[Jumintiger]

I have to agree with the fact that sounds could be alot louder but knowing the FH devs the sounds itself are correct. Only the volume could be better.

Simple, get a good set of headphones and turn the volume to max. Sure I'm ruining my ears right now but it sounds awesome :p

[LordInvictus]

Then the other sounds get louder to and there is no difference ;)
