Blackforest Hunt is a tactical Co-Op hunting game in development by the Cheeto Community. It will pit the the players against the "Deer" (specially programmed ai players) within the humongous greenery that is "Blackforest". Such tools as Binoculars, a Flare Gun, First Aid, the ever handy hunting knife, the GPS, a ghillie suit and of course a Hunting Rifle will be available to the avid deer hunter.
The map design for BFH mod is one of a kind, for a realistic hunting experience and a realistic hunting challenge. Thick brush, waterfalls, a river and tall grass all come together to form the experience.
BF2: BFH will be a mini-mod instead of a total conversion for basic reasons, and will hopefully deliver a realistic hunting experience that most tactical and mature gamers can enjoy, even if they aren't into hunting games!
Please note before playing: Blackforest Hunt is not necessarily a "1:1 hunting simulation". It still has some arcade-like elements and gadgets that may not exist/are blown out of proportion in comparison to the real hunting world. It is all in the name of fun and balance. This is not to say you won't still have a realistic co-op hunting experience while hunting down game, though.
Although we do encourage multiplayer servers, Blackforest Hunt works great with Hamachi or Tunngle!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO DELETE THE "bfhunt" FOLDER IN YOUR MODS FOLDER BEFORE INSTALLING ANY NEW RELEASES OF BFHUNT UNLESS IT IS MERELY A PATCH.

Hiinz. A professional modeler who - in the first few days of development of BFHmod - had offered to make some tent models for us. He disappeared since him and I talked, until recently. Special_ops was able to get in touch with him.
The result - he's kindly donating his professional models to the mod. Already in the screenshots you may have noticed the new hunting rifle. That is the work of Hiinz.
Although I can't say Hiinz is a dedicated developer for BFHmod (I'm not sure if he wants to or not), I can say he's a very experience modeler for the mod, with things up his sleeve such as a replacement model for our flare gun, and, oh, a moose model.
Yep, a life-size, full blown moose model. With animations. It replaces soldier models and animations. It is awesome.
As for the very awesome deer model (courtesy of SilentSniper), Hiinz believes he can get that in the mod too.
That said, it is time for me to stop sitting around writing this article that could easily be replaced with the words "HIINZ IS CREDIT TO TEAM" while everybody else works hard on the mod. I have some skinning to do.
Happy hunting!

I'm not sure why, but, altough I choose a kit, I try to spawn but it crashes to desktop.

The deers are soldiers! Please make some REAL deer models! PLEASE!!
mine works fine, but the deers are Chinese soldiers armed with knives trying to kill you...
LOL!
A few things. one: isn't the music copyrighted, 2: only one map, that is hard to find, and 3: it crashes right when i spawn.
I'm not going to be polite about this anymore, because I honestly don't know how many times I need to say it.
Make sure your server's settings match those listed on the tutorial for setting up a server, and ENSURE you are selecting a kit before you spawn. Scroll down, look at all the comments below.
