I think we still are going too see people playing FH0.7. I know that i probably will. I think the numbers of players will decrease, especially just after the release of fh2.
I probably won't be playing FH for anything more than the nostalgic value.
Even before the first release, FH2 looks like it will be the game the devs truly wanted to create, with no sharp corners or unfinished ends. I would consider FH2 to be the "real", completed FH.
I want to be wrong, but I believe FH2 is probably gonna kill FH1 . I'd like to keep playing it until FH2 has its 2nd-3rd release. Oh well, at least I'll be able to play the classic with the clan.
I consider FH2 as an update, version 1.0. Not as a separate game, as everyone should. It's like playing FH 0.5 versus 0.65 (0.7 sucks, even changed the music to much worse). I won't be coming back to 0.7 for sure.
I wouldn't be suprised if FH0.7 servers used fewer Africa maps and focus on stuff that FH2 dosen't have yet. Pacific, E. Europe etc. I would like to see that myself.
I for sure gonna play it, but its fate has been decided. Im not going to even speak about it. its going to be ugly. Oooohhhhhh... all those hours playing with bots. But how long to the future is this poll going to look?
Both will carry on imo. Lots of players still dont have systems fast enough for the BF2 engine. So they wont be playing much FH2 until they upgrade. Stands to reason they will carry on playing FH1 until that happens.
And as some have mentioned FH2 will only be one theatre at first, so lots will switch back and forth between games until more theatres are added to FH2.
edit: I personally find it hard to play FH1 now, after having a taste of FH2
