Appropriation is your friend 8) hehe. I can't wait for (if you guys actually make your own german/british voices), the secondary right clicks on the comm rose. So many times have I wanted to shout take cover/grenade >_<

[GirlsHateMe]

Whoa the Normandy maps are looking better and better with those new updates, I really love that new late Stug and about time it showed up. I hope the King Tiger comes next, good work guys!

[Evilsanta]

Great update! Nice Sturmgeschutz, new wallpaper

Now please show us the Tiger (and for a bonus the legendary Kingtiger!)

Might not be too difficult to find Italian amateur voice actors. There's a good amount of decent fandubs (in Italy every movie is dubbed, so fandubs are somewhat popular), and dubbing a game is much easier than dubbing a serial (no lip synchro, no background sound, etc.).

The main problem is that the Battlefield series isn't exactly popular in Italy (I know... like... 4 italian FH players, including me) so it might be difficult to convince an existing fandubbing team to devote time to a mod they probably never heard about for a game few people play.

Good to hear there are lots of Italian voice actors. I'm sure lots of people would devote the time. All in all it shouldn't really take more then an hour or two. Its not a movie, its maybe 100 different sentences. I hear that people would also like new German voices since they're to modern. Now I personally can't hear the difference but I guess its needed, just maybe not prioritized. And new American voices are a must. The one in BF2 is just way to modern.

I have a feeling that the yellow flag on the Cromwell can be a problem for the driver..."look! here I am! just shoot through the bushes!!"

Wait, I'm talking about amateur voice actors - they work for fame.

Now, if you fan dub a very popular serial or anime that will get hundreds of (illegal) downloads from Italian people you might get some fame as the cool-fandub-crew, at least in some circles.

If on the other hand you fan dub a mod which has maybe a dozen of Italian players, you can forget about any hopes for fame. I know that FH has a large player base for a BF2 mod, but the point is that no non-Italian player will ever have heard of So-and-so-cool-fandub-crew and won't have any interest whatsoever in your other releases.

The other problem is that the only dubbing group I have some contacts with isn't exactly the best choice for FH2 IMO.

[Kubador]

Well wouldn't be satisfied with international fame from an internacional group like FH?

So, any chances of an update today?
