Just looking at the FH.64b thread and I was wondering what the community thinks about this and the devs too. Doom 3 was ment to be a huge release but IMO has not broken any boundaries and certainly hasn't stopped me from playing FH. With HL2 apparently being released in September *cough* do you think it will a massive blow to the amount of players that play FH or even kill the mod completely?
Im aspecially interested in what the Devs think;
-Is it at the back of there minds?
-Do they think all the work there doing some 14hr a days is goin to waste?
-Will it be another Doom 3?
-Will the devs even get to play? do they want too?
Im sure everyone here will be playing HL2 when it comes out, if it has anywhere near the success of the first its going to have a huge blow to every game.
Before BFV came out I used to play EOD and there was a lot of talk about wether BFV would kill the mod, there was a huge blow to EOD community and it has never fully recoverd. I know its a different genre of game and cant be compared to BF1942 in that way ...but its coming...

I believe that FH and BF will live on because its a completely different gameplay experiece. HL2 is more of a SP game than anything els, now BF2 is a different story, if anything is going to kill BF it will be BF2. I think that HL2 will probably take over the mod scene though, after all you have so many mod makers from HL that will jump all over the source engine, after all valve has created HL2 to be extremely easy to mod, similar to Farcry but with more support.
No, it wont. It might put a dip in online player counts for a bit, but it wont kill FH.
Frankly, every new video they release looks less and less impressive. Especially CS:Source, which is exactly the same as CounterStrike for HL1 but with a few barrels and new models and textures. They barely used the new engine at all.
HL2 will probably be a great game and all, but FH will run on a lot of machines that HL wont run on, which means it will be played well into the future. Its about the only really good Bf1942 mod left with a few exceptions.
DC is dead.
EoD is dead.
Xww2 is dead.
SH is still going and active
FH is still going and active

Offcourse not. Both Doom3 and HL2 are different types of games, and singleplayer. Not really seeing where this is heading though. Pretty much everything can draw attention away, games, money, love? I would only see Red Orchestra drawing away people. I know I'm checking out the mod, they released the new version yesterday,
The 1.0 release of BG42 is also coming next friday and I think it will last quite a while, since .95 (or whatever their last BF1942 release was) is still holding some players.
So, no way HL2 will kill FH, if even decrease its player numbers. From what I've seen and heard from HL2, it doesn't look to me a realism based World War 2 game with huge outdoor spaces and ability to freely control everything from battleships to airplanes.

Ok maybe the poll could have been better with more options but if you've actually looked at the poll results 1 person has allready voted "yes" HL2 will kill FH. I think polls are good forms of feedback to the devs, so please be a little more constructive in your replies or if you think this thread is spam then dont bother posting your opinions at all.
