The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Yeah, I keep getting a 'CreateProcess failed: The system cannot find the file specified' error whenever I try to start up the program.
I patched BF2 before installing FH2, so I think my only option would be to uninstall BF2 and try again. Kind of sucks though, since I can't find my manual with the CD key.
Edit: Scratch that, just found my manual. Fuck yeah.
Not going to lie, getting in a sherman and charging across the desert to engage a panzer while the fly boys do their thing in the air right above you is fucking bad ass.

That is honestly one of my favorite things. My computer isn't high end enough for me to fly the planes - too much going on so when I try to strafe an outpost it chops and I end up not pulling up until I'm halfway in a palm tree with a limb up my arse. I can attack targets in the open desert with some decency, and dogfighting I hold my own fairly well, but usually I just avoid planes and leave them for the better pilots.
Luckily I can pound the ground without any performance issues, and I do so love the tank combat on the game, but damn it is awesome when you're closing on an outpost with some other tanks and just before you get there one of your pilots strafes their defenses to clear the infantry, and flies cover so no enemy planes can do the same to you, dodging and juking while they try to line each other up.
Also it is just... deliciously rewarding when you shoot down an enemy plane with an AA emplacement, like the Bofors 40mm. That "kwak!" as the flak explodes in the distance and then the enemy Stuka or BF109 slow falls to the sand.
Taking planes down with tanks is far more fun, even when they're just flying straight at you strafing. I still remember my favourite thing from BF42 was driving along from south outpost to east on el alamein in a Pz4 and I shot a plane flying in the opposite direction from miles away... unfortunately he was on my team. In that same round I shot another 109 just as it came into sight over a cliff about 10m away in my tiger, he was also on my team.
Also, I don't work friday night, so that means I don't have anything to do all of thursday, would that be okay? Might be better than wednesday as I'll have a bigger block of time but tomorrow should be okay for a bit.

I think the vast majority of this games playerbase is European, because the peak times seem to be around noon EST.
Right now one server is full (64/64) and one has like 19/64. Thats a shitton of players for a noon on a monday, especially for a mod for an older game.
I was gonna bump this thread about the update but Butters was a champ and saw to that.
Planes are a lot easier to fly now, there's a lot of general gameplay tweaks. There's now a "depth of field" blur added when gazing down your ironsights, which is totally rad. Also, the new maps are superb and run smooth as butter.
So who's up for some of this tonight? The new version is available both as a patch and as a full version, so if you've been thinking about getting into it, here's a perfect opportunity.
We can either crash a public server and go straight into it or we could join an empty server and do some scrimmage, I have no qualms teaching some newbies on the basics.
I'll play some tomorrow. I invested all the time necessary to install BF2, download the BF2 update, install the BF2 update, download the FH2 files, and install the FH2 files.
So I'm definitely fucking playing it.
But I played a bunch of TF2 today and I'm FPSed out.

I got sunday through wednesday off, and my schedule has flipped so I'm no longer working shifts that start at midnight.
Lets throw down some tomorrow night, you know, Sunday, which is appropriate for FH because nothing makes you feel closer to God than surviving a strafing run or flanking a Flak 18 position. Say it with me now - Our Father, who art in trenches, hallowed be thy MG34. Thy Sherman come, thy reinforcements run, now as it is in Gazala.

My favorite server is WOLF.net and its usually decently populated, so I'd nominate that.
I have nothing to do today but ride my bike to the store for a pack of cigarettes. Outside of that I am pretty down for some FH2 anytime.
WOLF.net or hslan are my two haunts. Just make a post sometime soon and I'll boot that shit up.
Also, I don't work friday night, so that means I don't have anything to do all of thursday, would that be okay? Might be better than wednesday as I'll have a bigger block of time but tomorrow should be okay for a bit.
but I guess all brits sound alike
