BHD has been in production about the same time as DC started.

If you don't want to play FH, no-one can make you do so. Why you made a "dramatic" announcement about is puzzling, since it is completely unnecessary. In the past, I have gotten bored of various games and stopped playing them, but I have never posted an essay about it.

Perhaps what you really want is attention?

He's venting frustration. A LOT of effort needs to be put into a clan or a league to make it a success. I know, I was in several. If someone commits to a league or clan or both, they expect that the mod will fix it's problems and make it's self better as they go along. Thats the tradeoff. They'll support it in it's infancy, and in return, the mod will be better and gain more popularity and players and expand the leagues and clans and make a more interesting "professional" game circuit. FH totally slacked on .6 and left it's clans and leagues out in the rain. I don't know who to blame or if to blame anyone at all, but that's what happened. None of these comments are ever taken well, but the truth is I feel the same way he does. The team is moving in confusing and unexplainable ways. He wasn't being a flaming noob like me, he was explaining errors that he felt the team made. All in all I think the team, at least those represented on this forum, have been VERY patient with the fans after all their, and my, bitching over the lateness of .6, kudos to that.

These forums make up a very VERY VEEERY tiny percentage of the FH playing community, and the actions that take place here are unknown to the large majority.

The first part of your statement, I agree with. If they ever had fun with .5 then they'll try to get .6 and give it a try. But the part where you say "has a very good reputation in the bf community as a good and fun mod" is not true. The opinions of people I've talked to in CAL, TWL, and in several clans for all other mods widely agree that FH is one of the worst mods as far as gameplay and team support go, and that's why so few people are interested in organized play for it. BFE has less and less players each campaign because of the widespread dislike of FH (in it's current form). This pisses me off because I want to see FH be a big shot and get lots of publicity and players, but the team is constantly doing the exact opposite of what they need to do.

If FH is 97% done, then it shouldn't be hard to come up with a release date. Friday would be nice.

[CNI]Ohioan, you are anoying like hell but believe me...we will not rush the release of 0.6, I don't mind if you kill my dog, send me a bunch of crazy hare-krisnas to cut my hair or play a Michael Jackson's CD in a gramophone.

Give up man, when it's done, it's done

You don't think you could just give a date? I know it's done when it's done, but it would be nice to know when that will be.

Let's see, if .5 did in fact come out the 21st of september, and is now at 97% completion, a small calculation teaches me that:

136 days have passed since...136/97=1.40*100=140 days till 100%

So, it'll be ready in 4 days...Which happens to be Saturday

I think ppl forget that its free and true ww2 buffs will dl it no matter what they say here.

You want to know the problem with releasedates? Very simple: you announce a releasedate befor you are 100% done. Then you discover a serious problem, and you need time to fix it. Time goes by, and you are still fixing while the file should loong since be on it's way to the mirrors. The releasedate goes by, and the mirrors don't have the file yet, everybody's mad. We will announce a releasedate when we can be 100% sure we can make that date, and that won't be more than 1 week in the future.

I see your point, but there will always be major bugs in the mod till 1.0.... Alot of people would really appreciate it if you set a release date (even a very cautious one in a few weeks time) and tried your best to sort out the major bugs. 0.6 doesn't need to be perfect....... It's still beta. If the testers in your closed beta are having such a fantastic time with the current version, what makes you think the general public won't?

We just want something new
