Re: December 19th News Update! Very good info there McGibs. Any chance we could get a few hints on those Jap tricks?... |
Re: December 19th News Update! Nice update, I wasn't expecting a flamethrowing vehicle for this update. Also anxious about the fan map pack and the idea of a nice custom static. The flame effects seem of a high quality, nice work guys. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Hey, my map is in the second round :D. umm, what does that mean though? is there another round before its decided which go in the map pack? And how would I go about contacting Armin Ace? |

The flame sherman only spawns every 15 min or so on the landing craft, so once it's out, it's out for a while. Japanese MG and mortar positions are very nasty to american infantry. (yes mortars. they kick ass now. with a bit of practice and fire adjusting, you can pin down a position single handedly from across the map. you can find them on most maps) |
Re: December 19th News Update! Nice update, the flame tank looks acpecially interesting! the flames actually look good, far better than any other mods attempt at doing a flame tank anyway (no dissrespect to other mods) :) |

Re: December 19th News Update! Does this also mean mortars can use indirect fire (via the Forward Artillery Observer) |
Re: December 19th News Update! well... if japs have mortars, so do americans.. so this is not any kind of advantage for japs... but exp-japs are interesting any sign of relase date for this BUG-FIX? i ask because i dont care for new content at all, because i dont play anymore, because of few nasty and stupid bugs concerning coop play whis was meant as a bugfix, and i can see now that it started growing new content, new content and new content... how many months? half year? nobody will be there if it is going again the .61 road sorry for rant |
Re: December 19th News Update! very nice hope that this is not a new 0.65 type of patch ... |
Re: December 19th News Update! I think that the devs want to slow down the FH war machine and prepare the patch AND prepare to port to BF2. They don't want to do everything now and have to risk deleting it for BF2. MAYBE thats why we barely have any new static buildings; scaling of the vechicles and bayonets. But aside from that; Great update, I love the oil station Lobo. |

Re: December 19th News Update! Excellent update, and people complaining about this aint being a bugfix anymore, you really think they started working on all of this after 0.65 ? Don't make me laugh, the stuff you can see now probably was finished for 95% when 0.65 came out, so it's just 'late 0.65' stuff. Be happy: you get bugfixes and new (late) content. That Sherman POA looks impressive, nice updated skin on the piat and gl to the winners of the contest AND the non-winners (you're not losers:)) hope you can upgrade your maps for another round (I was looking forward to the one with Scheldt in the name ;)) Have fun |

Re: December 19th News Update! Whats up with the valley roads in Pic#2? Whats up with the whole lot of nothing in Pic#2+3? |
Re: December 19th News Update! What's the name of your map? Looks like a good map for tank battles. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Perhaps FH 0.66 will be found in santa clauses sack this year? :naughty: Excellent ploy on the japs btw, will they go 'bonzaiii!!!' when you detonate? ;) |

a.) December 2004 - we got only 2 weeks left in december? b.) Most of the content was in FH 0.65 already but not used - so we are not creating stuff and stuff! This is majorly a fix... |

Re: December 19th News Update! Flamethrower tanks!! I can't hardly wait! Seeing all major bugs gone and a performance boost is more important though currenlty. Still love the update! Quote:
Yes, indeed! A rusty dutch barrel... |
Re: December 19th News Update! It's beautiful *sniff* |
Re: December 19th News Update! Great update! Really great! Especially for TaiChi and me. Good to see our precious map made it to the second round. :) Flamethrowing tanks, lovely. The new PIAT skin is very well detailed. :) |
Re: December 19th News Update! Great updates with Flamethrowers and all! :D But the Pavlov map someone suggested wouldnt be that great, IMO. Remember the PPSh-41? Its still über (dont get me wrong, it should be über) compered with the MP40. This would just be a big rape... Anyway, keep up the good work devs! PS: Will the Mortar have the secondary fire mode as the "big" artillery-pieces have? PPS: I CANT WAIT FOR THE FLAMMPANZER III! Every since I saw a picture of one in a WW2 book I have, I felt in love with it :P ! |
Re: December 19th News Update! Wow, looks impressive. That's just wrong how your map didn't make it. Well, makes you think of the quality of the maps that did made it! |
Re: December 19th News Update! Great update guys....once excellent work! I hope we get a nice christmas present! I ´love you guys for bringing clearpoints into the mods, this is such a huge step forward in fixing stupid things Dice did and I don´t have to have a guilty conscience anymore using this advantage... |
Re: December 19th News Update! Wow, flamethrowers! They look great :) |
Re: December 19th News Update! looks very impressive! i realy hope we can play 0.66 in december! |
Re: December 19th News Update! Ctz, that map is friggin' beautiful, it looks so polished off, and well....it's excellent! McGibs, you did an excellent job on that PIAT too, cant wait to use it. I was never very excited about flame tanks, but from those screens I am now! You devs never fail to amaze me, great work! Now, if we could just have a release date I'll be happy this christmas. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Our mortars are now simmilar to BF1918's mortars. The camera view is above the player, and gives a great field of view (you can also hide behind rocks or treches and still fire). They have a maximum range of the view distance of most maps (on iwo jima, i can shoot from the top of the mountain, to the next flag) and a minimum range of about 20 feet in front of the mortar. They have artillery spot for secondary fire like all other artillery, but it's not as useful because they arnt as long ranged, and you can usually see your targets. Depending on the range, the shells take anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds to hit, so hitting moving infantry takes a couple shells to lead the target. Japs have the advantage on iwo because they control the island. Dont tell me 3 mortars and a defgun fireing down from a mountain isnt an advantage. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Yes but Mcgibs don't tell me that the japs wont be able to lift there heads above the ground when there pinned down by naval fire isn't an advantage :D |
Re: December 19th News Update! you ever tried it hit the top of the mountain with naval fire? Its 5 times higher then the friggin boat. Iwo jima plays pretty much as it it plays in .65, which is very balanced. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Good to hear about the mortars. Say on a map like Goodwood or Bulge, is it easy to use them against tanks? it'd be good to see them land right on top of them seeing as the armour is weakest there. |

Re: December 19th News Update! Right, ok. Well lets hope I get lucky. I've always wanted to use mortars effectively in BF1942 ever since I watched Band of Brothers. |
Re: December 19th News Update! Is there a huge volcanic explosion once the flamethrower tank explode? And is there any more tanks with flamethrowers? |
Re: December 19th News Update! anyone know how the map contest works? I mean the real details. Are the 7 semi-finalists competeing for a single top slot but at the same time those 7 will be in the fanpack regardless of who wins or is there some other plan for the 7? I sympathize with all those who didn't make it. Out of the 4 maps I submitted only 1 was chosen. Now I'm waiting to see exactly what's going on before I independently publish the "unchosen" maps. I know not having official FH support means getting far fewer downloads but I built the maps to see them played and have players participate in the battlefields I've created. Personally I couldn't give a rat's ass if I won or lost. That was never my point and having been in several map contests (between MOHAA and BF1942) I'm really over the whole spirit of competition and just want to enjoy playing on the worlds I've created with other BF/FH fans. As for the 2 extra weeks of tweaking... I guess I'll get some good nap time out of it. Out of all the updates I've seen for .66 none really apply to me. Anyone have art classes? Did you ever have an instructor tell you this in some form... "your piece of art is done when you can neither add to nor subtract anything from it without it detracting from the whole piece". Sorry folks I have my own ideas on mapping and follow a minimalist's set of principles. Sorry I'm not more of a team player when it comes to competitions but all my maps are initially made to satisfy me, my concepts and my curiosity. Thereafter I hope other might enjoy it. In the immortal words of Ringo "I'm just happy to be here". |
Re: December 19th News Update! Flame effects are pretty neat, Piat is a funny little thing to play with. Quote:
But you could always improve the map with the suggestions.critique you got (I take) and I read that there is going to be a custom map part of the website soon, don't give up yet! |

Re: December 19th News Update! Hopefully those mortars will be placed in batteries to be more effective? And with those new explosion effects, man, I just might need to put on my helmet before I even play! EDIT:: MY SOUND IS FIIIIIXED!!! I can play FH again!! :D :D :D |
Re: December 19th News Update! ORTONAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!:nodding: |
Re: December 19th News Update! CTZ, thats a pretty neat looking map you have there. I hope you have gotten some good critique on improving your map because im sure there are people on here who would like to try it out. Perhaps the mappers who didn't make the second round can improve their maps and then release them together in a second fan map pack. FH backed or not, I think it would still make a good download. |

Re: December 19th News Update! Whoa! Nice update... but the comment on the Panzer III is upsetting. It made me think of two options: 1) The FH team are sick to death of it and will never add one to spite us 2) They are already making it but it will be the greatest model of all time and therefore take forever to make 2, please! PIAT looks great, the more prominent ironsights hint at the new AT aiming system... ;) |
Re: December 19th News Update! Will we ever see another ME-323??? PLZ?!?! Just promise:deal: |
