GWX is starting to remind me of Forgotten Hope

[Safe-Keeper]

I guess whoever's played the Battlefield 1942 mod' Forgotten Hope (http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/main.php?lang=english) can relate. For the rest of you, it's a monster of an FPS reality mod' with roughly sixty maps:o, a large selection of nations, and a horde of different vehicles. My point is that the sheer size of the mod' gives you this feeling that you'll never play through it all. Even if I spent only half an hour on each map, I'd still need thirty hours straight of playing the game before I'd experienced every map, and let's not forget that 30 minutes doesn't do more than give you a brief first impression.

Anyone feel this way with Grey Wolves Expansion? Personally, I've not even half-way explored Grey Wolves 1,1a yet. I suppose I'll have to wait until retirement (in fourty years or so:-?) to finally get enough spare time to sit down and fully explore GWX.

Well, I felt really small when I started beta testing. How the **** do one test this titanic thing in a couple of weeks? And I even have alot of free time! :rock:

How the heck do the campaign team manage to keep on top of all the new things from our modelers:hmm:
How the heck do our Modelers keep doing the impossible.
How the Heck do the skinning Dept skin all these new additions.
Ref And Von the wonder team..How do they keep doing thier impossible tasks.
And how do the heck do we in the reasearch dept get to research everything :doh:
How? Because KL has got together a Damn fine Dev team!
I feel for Pablo who has got to document this Monster

Beleive me its a nightmare
Still testing last additions as I write

On friday night I ran 35 patrols starting in 39 and transferring after 3 patrols to a new flotilla
The only times I left port were when base was changed in patrol
The rest of the time I started a patrol and reversed into dock then drove forward into dock to take damage and extend time in base
Just to get my 60 days in Flotilla so could transfer after 3 patrols

Not exactly a fun night but the only way to test all bases and transfers for a final time

Roll on release in * days time

I fully understand your sentiments mate :yep:
But the one thing I constantly keep reminding myself is that the Kpt. and dev team must have sacrificed so much of their time and effort (BBW post being just one example) that this mammoth expansion has got to be well worth the wait and the resulting timescales that will obviously be involved in covering all the different theatres should be well worth it. :D
Mind you...I've only got fifteen years to go for my retirement so on second thoughts you may have a point!!! :hmm: lol

[mr chris]

It is truely is a massive Mod. We know it has taken a frightning amount of time and hard work on the side of the dev team who have some how manged to make this beast in there spare time. After testing for the last few weeks for some times 10hrs at a time i can say i have only seen about 5% of GWX most likely not even that:doh: As we heard in BBW post above the work continues this is going to massive. Take a Bow guys:yep: :up:

I think he just meant "?" days, as in "insert any number here". Not specifically "insert one digit here".

The amount of work does remind me of forgotten hope. but with GWX-us low end computer users can still play it. I tried forgotten hope (excellent) but the freezing and choppiness of my "bot" got to the point of unplayability w/ my current system. probably pissed a few other players off who were in the same server although I was an easy kill while I moved at a snail pace:nope: :lol:

[bigboywooly]

Stop trading insults and get back to work!

Well Booky
I finished my last scripting additions last night so I have " finished "
All else is outa my hands

[Safe-Keeper]

It'd be nice if they released it on the 24th. The christmas present to end all christmas presents.

No, no, NO - please don't suggest that! I am going away on holiday for a month on the 26th and I am unlikely to be able to play on the 25th, so that would mean I would have to wait until the end of January. That would be cruel, unnatural and against the spirit of the festive season. :cry:

[Sailor Steve]

Those of us who aren't sure when we'll ever get to play again aren't sympathetic to your whining; be a man!:rotfl:

About a week, then, if all goes smoothly. Looking awesome.

Just a question, did you ever decide to add land units such as tanks, APCs, trucks and so on?

[baggygreen]

UM, EXCUSE ME? tanks, trucks, etc?!? stone the flaming crows, if they're in i doubt my poor heart will be able to take it!

[Safe-Keeper]

There were tanks in Silent Hunter, weren't there?

[flyingdane]

[bookworm_020]

If it's released the week before christmas I will be battoning down the hatches, cutting all comunication off from the outside world and get some serious patrol time.

I'll only come up for air when my finance come knock on the door asking where have I been?:rock:

[Jimbuna]
