Great mod. Community is terrible though.
50 Defender factions yet 99% of the time people are playing:
Sparta
Rome
LOTR
Spec Ops/WW2

It's sad because the other factions are great but nobody plays them. Navy knows what I'm talking about. Played a Colonist Vs Barbarian game with him for like 3 hours.

I love this mod.

We had a guy in the red that kept lagging behind. We made a decision to kill him incase he was infected. He screamed out as we bashed his head in.

"it's not dead, it's just ceased development"

Well what the hell is your definition of dead?

6+ Years and not a peep of progress. That means it's dead.

Great update guys. Any plans to add some captured American vehicles in one or two of these BOTB maps?

No. FH2 and a PR should stay seperate. Regardless of how many players it would "bring over"

Hop in Chinook along with my squad mates.
Pilot takes off and crashes five seconds later.

Here's to hoping the update garners some more players.
I mean, PR is a good mod, but it's sad to see that it's one of the only REALLY active mods for BF2.

Guys like me are stuck playing FH2 on European servers with pings in a hundreds.

Waste of a download.

7 servers, all empty.

Completely and utterly wrong.
The gasoline-based engine of the Sherman was actually very well protected. The main problem was that tank commanders were overloading the tank with extra shells that nullified the wet-ammo storage, so when they took a hit the thing went up like a bomb.

Loving the mod so far. Just restarted the American campaign, the skins look terrific.

Check your firewalls, brudda. Make sure none of your AV software is blocking it, should be labeled PnkbsterA and PnkbsterB or something to that effect.
Punkbuster is horrible, I've had problems with it in BF1942, BF:V, BF2, and BF:BC2

That was a direct quote from a member of the dev-team on their forums. Feel free to check it out for yourself, I never said I didn't think source was doable.
It's in the last news update thread.

And this my friends is why MODDB needs an age verification system, perhaps, ID based verification?

>Implying 5 T-34s weren't more than enough to kill a tiger.

Yeah actually vsemp Shermans were very well received in Russian service and were used extensively on the front-lines.

I don't know where you received that bogus info (perhaps pseudo-german propaganda?) but there was even a book written on the subject by a Russian Sherman tank commander, he praised their reliability, speed, and transmission. (transmission being one of the most horrible things about the T34)

The name of the book is "Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks: The World War II Memoirs of Hero of the Soviet Union Dmitriy Loza"

Ignore the facts like a silly little child, but you know I'm right.
Allow me to quote a senior dev on the forums - "We currently have no plans to finish HL1 any time soon. Source, simply put, is much, much harder to map and code on and will inevitably cut back the influx of excellent goldsrc mappers we currently have. For the foreseeable future, we will still be working on HL1"

Feel free to pretend like what I said doesn't exist, but feel free to check their forums, it's in the sticky in general discussion, and this was 5 months ago. Last media update was 5 years ago, and the mod is classified as dead on MODDB. Open your eyes.

Class dismissed.

Sorry kids but this mod is DEAD.
Anyone who wants to wish it away is free too but read this first.
>Mod DB has it logged as "ceased development" and has archived it.
>5 years since the last media update
>Main developer posted that there were no plans to resume work on the SCII version, several times. Citing among other things that HL2's lighting was bad, goldsrc was easier to make maps on and it had just as many players as HL2.

So, reread if you cannot believe me, but rest assured, it is dead. It will never be finished in the foreseeable future.

That being SAID, I cannot blame them for it, if you want your taste of Sven Coop play the original, they are still updating that, if you only have HL2, try Synergy or Obsidian Conflict, but don't keep F5'ing this page, it will never be finished.
