I would play it again only its so hard to control anything in first person when you've been playing WoW for near 3 years. Tryed playing BF2 a few months ago but was just too hard, kept looking for the 3D version of me button.
Tis a shame they took so long to create this as a mod instead they should have just made it a game and so bringing more people to the game aswell as those that were waiting upon its arrival! About 3 years ago i was waiting for this game but after making me wait that long i dont think its worth playing!
Altho if they make a pirate BF2 like the one for bf1942 i shall be back!!!

quite impressed with FH2, its just so damn polished. Only problem is, as always when a new mod is out. All the servers seem intent on running 64 player maps. So the flags are really far apart. So make sure you join a packed server.

We found it the same. Mod is really polished, nice to look at etc. The maps are massive, with nothing happening for ages. I was finding myself having to use Binocs to scan the map for other players and then trying to shoot them way in the distance. A few times I found players through my binocs and they where looking at me with theirs.

Some of the tank battles I've had are class, although one map I can't remember the name of is a little unbalanced. There are mine fields and two maps the Axis have to take before moving on to the ones behind, the allies get two light tanks and a crusader while the Axis get at least 5 light-medium tanks. Other than that its a pretty good mod and going by the 1942 forgotten hope we should be seeing loads of new material in the future.

I've been playing this mod too and find it's got lots of potential but is very flawed at the same time.
There's a serious amount of lag on every server I've played and I know it's not my connection.
Like others have stated the maps can be very empty at times and you find yourself looking in your binocs every so ofen scanning the horizon for other people.

Also although realistic it is very difficult to tell apart the two sides which causes a serious amount of TK'ing by noobs.
Also some of the views from within the vehicals are useless. Surely nobody driving a halftrack looks at window slit ? They'd be looking though it I'd think

And even by non noobs. I've been guilty of picking off a team mate in the distance, if they're near the enemy flag or running towards me.

Anyone know in FH2 if it's possible to adjust the range on the tank and artillery sights?

You can press 'x' to get a scoped view. Is this what you mean?

No... Take the german tanks for example, if I want to shoot at something far in the distance, I will raise the middle triangle somewhat above the target. In reality, a gunner would have estimated the distance to the target and adjusted the gunsight to that range. This effectively lowered the gunsight - so if you judged the distance correctly, you would place the triangle directly on the target.

The advantage would be, once you ranged the target correctly, your gunsight would be centered and you could just keep pounding it untill killed!

No, i don't think the BF2 engine allowed for range adjustment. So I doubt the mod could handle it either. But yea, range would make it a bit easier alright!

What about the planes. I find it so difficult and annoying without the nose cam. It's more realistic or whatever, but its crap imo.
