BHD - It's fun.

[EscapedTurkey]

I never got into DF - now I regret it.

Fortunately this BHD is based on the Comanche 4 engine. I'm hooked!

It looks like my C4 guide and server macros will be applicable to BHD so I'll work on a section using those but for BHD too - www.c4guide.com (not using this as an excuse to plug my simplistic notepad.exe created html site).

In MP, immersion is an understatement - and the netcode feels very smooth and the performance is amazingly good (many older game engines that try to do the samething don't feel nearly as fast, performance wise), and the layout of the keys and gameplay is easy to use and understand - most games require some kind of mod to make them feel this user friendly.

Anyhow, the sounds, visuals, etc, seem even better than C4 so hopefully NL will make a C5 with the enhancements.

I'm definetly pre-ordering this game. Coming from a background of mainly playing Quake 1 - 3, Tribes 1 - 2, and some arcade style flight sims (like Crimson Skies and Aces Over The Pacific - and Comanche 4) I'm very impressed in how well the game plays.

I look forward to the user made missions/maps that will be produced here.

I'm so impressed I really regret not playing earlier DF series games. I didn't realize they were this good.

walmart sells a trilogy pack with DF1 DF2 and land warrior in it for 20 bucks.good deal

Graphically the older games can't touch BHD. However, games like DF2 gave us ghillie suits and grass, which by the way has not been seen again until BHD. DFLW was a great game but the last of the female characters, omitting a large segmentof our gaming community. DFTFD while giving us our best online gaming gave us our worst single player to date with AI that were an absolute joke!!! BHD looks to be superior is almost every facet. Although I hear there may not be Co op or female characters once again. Good Luck with your decision and good gaming to you.
