Nice one deebs!

Bah. It just completed at 123mb and it won't start up again. Bed time I think.

Fuck me is it good...

Netcode, graphics, weapons, vehicles everything is right... good game.

Only gripe i have is the team selection need say to be able to create a team called pilots a team for tank drivers etc as can see without this being very hit and miss on publics.

PS. Love the crane insanely high can shoot at almost the entire landbased side of the map... and funny to see planes and helicopters flying underneath you.

[Sockstuff]

Agreed. Very good.

The only thing that is really SHIT is the menu system. They seemed to have carried it over from 1942. I cannot for the life of me bind the alt key. Also if you are try to bind a key to something but that key is already doing something else it doesn't tell you what is using it or if you would like to overwrite it... PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!

[Ukle]

Yup the keybinding system is messed up cant bind to the numpad etc.

Although the menu system has massivly changed from BF1942, is all now press a button (e.g. Q) then say a command / send a message via the mouse or the numpad by selecting the relevant direction for the message you want to send.

The commander mode as well is tops - reveal the enemy locations then call in arty strikes on there heads

I had problems with the bind menu system as well, it wouldn't allow me select forwards and backwards together as a primary function without one deleting the other during selection. I had to select the backward key on secondary, odd. The ingame browser is pants, trying to browse the list for servers and it keeps jumping, even after the refresh stopped. Other than that it is fantastic!

Hmm, worked last night when I tested it.

Am now downloading it again, currently at 152.5MB and still climbing....

[throdgrain]

I downloaded it, it said it was finished but wont install. Winzip says it is missing a file or something, and I should download it again

[Aada]

thought you didn't like the bf series bud? lol knew you'd download it.

Game is great btw best shooter in the last 2 years imo

[throdgrain]

Ive got to try it If its playable for me I might buy it, but I swore if the head bob thing isnt sorted , or at least acceptable I wont waste my money.
However theres no links that work anyway, the FH one downloaded but the file is corrupted or something, even the address is different to other downloads

try here: ftp://bf2:dvfdvf@cs.dvf.org.uk:2121/


Ive been playing it and its brilliant!!! Much better than BF1942!!!

I hope it doesnt distract me too much from CSS

[DaGaffer]

Love it. Still haven't got the hang of the command system yet, but overall it bodes well for the full release.

BTW Tony - the FH download is corrupted.
