Forgotten Hope 2 - CANNOT stand to play any part of vBF2 anymore.

Cyber-Couch · 02-17-2007, 04:44 AM

Actually, I tried playing vBF2 last night just for kicks. Joined Karkand since that was my favorite map when playing vBF2 way back. Guess what I heard being spammed as soon as I joined? Yup, grenades, they were everywhere and as soon as I spawned in I was blown up by a grenade.

Another arcade welcome was all the assortment of guns, it took me a good while to figure what to pick, but I just started taking the SAW.

First I tried shooting the wall right next to me, and no shell shock effect.

Then I got in a squad and started moving to one of our back flags which just got captured by an enemy. When we got there we immediately started firing on them, and most of the time I didn't use my ironsight since I had my crosshair up and it was just as accurate. I kept running and gunning until I had easily taken out the enemy squad. I was also frustrated by the ugly interface, lack of teamwork, and a very hard difficulty to not die - except by a grenade.

The other thing I instantly noticed was the crazy amount of snipers running around the map. I started chasing one with my SAW, and before he ran hastily around the corner he placed a claymore hopeing I would go over it, but I saw it and slipped by. He did this again and again around the next corners until I finally caught up and killed him. I could go on about how horrible vBF2 is compared to PRM, but I will just say this was the LAST time I will have played vBF2.

Onto FH2...I'm looking forward to FH2, but the more it is like PRM - the better. Although I am hopeing still it is very far from vBF2, especially after this experiance. One thing that discourages me is I am not looking forward to going back to crosshairs since devs have made it clear they are including crosshairs in FH2 because it is unrealistic to remove them. NUTZ!

Where does this bogus info come from that removing crosshairs is unrealistic? If anything, removing them makes the game more simulation worthy! It makes me angry that they wont even try testing the mod without crosshairs. After playing PRM, the crosshair is the ugliest thing to have in the center of your screen and I just cannot stand them anymore.

I know it is their mod, but they have tons of followers and many of them do want the crosshair removed. If you looking forward to FH2 and dont want crosshairs in it, please feel free to post your opinion.

Wait, they dont want the crosshair because it is UNREALISTIC? Wow.....

RikiRude · 02-17-2007, 05:12 AM

Huh? I HATE crosshairs I feel the same way. Once they are gone long enough they are the ugliest little thing to see on your monitor.

No way....I still wonder why they always win tops MOD awards? Is it just pure volume of voters?

I hope FH2 goes down a realistic path. Ok maybe not 30 sec spawn times and 10 minute aircraft times (

), but in terms of weapon damage/vehicle power and kit limiting. I hope it's done well. I have faith in the developers, they said they're going for a balance of realism and gameplay/fun so lets see how it turns out. They really seem to know what they're doing so lets just wait and see.

After playing vBF2 yesterday. The game is absoloutley mental. I can't beleive i managed to spend so much time on it. It just sucks so badly

i dont know where you got that "crosshairs will stay"-thing, but it is simply wrong, there are no crosshairs

Maybe they turned hud and crosshairs off for the video.
edit: But the weapon sway speaks against that theory...

Epim3theus · 02-17-2007, 09:12 AM

I was thinking the same thing, but how so does the weapon swaying speak against it?

[R-DEV]bosco · 02-17-2007, 09:13 AM

Well, if you ever played Red Orchestra (which has a great sway system), you should know that crosshairs have no use.
Sway makes crosshairs pretty useless.

weapon sway? oh please, please make guns innacurate unless you aim using right-mouse!
that mod looks good btw, I like past and present...futuristic pap just doesnt do it for me. hence Im not throwing more money at EA for 2142.
