GOOD
- graphics are awesome - textures, models, maps, they all looked phenomenol
- very creative kit limiting system
- MG in prone position only - awesome
- animations for all weapons / run animation, outstanding
- arty system was really well done

BAD
- 30 second spawntimes on ALL vehicles means - why would you ever be an infantryman? when a heavy vehicle dominates the battlefield and you can continously rush with this vehicle again and again with no punishment for getting destroyed, essentially you are saying to infantry players "too bad". this mod will surely attract armor and aircraft lovers, but for the poor infantryman, there is only 1 map currently that he can truly be useful. There are 32 layers that hopefully some more servers will be using to highlight the great infantry combat.

- No medics.... creates less of a need or desire teamwork from squads

- Spawn mechanics. Very frustrating. Many times was forced to spawn kill while on an assault, with little other choices again and again. There was so many times while on defense I spawned BEHIND many enemy troops, really felt sorry for them when I took out a well organised full squad cause I spawned right behind them with a machinegun.... you can be as tactical as you want, but by keeping these spawn mechanics in, your essentially creating opportunities for the mod to turn into quake2 dm....

- I agree that the maps did not really allow tactics all that much.... it was run and gun most of the time even with some highly organised squads. On the open desert maps, the best tactic is to spam stationary AA at the flags....

- Kill indicator and kill messages. Just personal thing but I forgot how much this causes exploits and cheap tactics in game (ref spamming AA guns at flags)

- Cannot kill exposed gunners on certain cars... major exploit currently, will prolly be fixed


I played for 12 hours straight on Friday. I was impressed with the mod but at the same time, I dont think Ill be spending alot of time with it. There is a few key points in gameplay that I think the FH2 devs missed the mark in terms of supporting teamwork. Hopefully these things will be addressed in an upcoming patch and Ill give it another try.

Someone said it best, although the eye candy and new setting really impressed me, I came away from the mod with a bad taste and a headache... will really need some convincing to get me to play this again. The main thing that kept me playing for so long was the quality players (mostly from the PR and TG community) that kept things interesting and allowed us to try out all the features and explore all the maps. Thanks guys it was great while it lasted!
