Heroes of the West must be reborn !!!

[Doggy]

ant understand why nobody play this fantastic mod. Seem to be most player prefer mainstreammess or the sh.. Rising Storm 2.

But so often when you have games and modes (like countdown,search abd destroy) where the skills more important then brainless action-gameply you have not many player.

Heroes of the mod is like a new game,the mod dont use the standard houses for new maps (boring),it build houses ,maps ect new and some new weapons are in the mod too. Most other mods only recycle all the standard buildings of RO2.

And Heroes of the West is better then so many full price games too and much more better then Rising Sorm 2 with the laughable kiddie-toys like call a gunship,napalm ect.

So i cant understand why Heroes of the West is not popular! Sh.. new mainstream-community they prefer only mainstream-mess.

Hope of more players for the mod and a reborn!

Boy, I wonder why so many of the same people who played this game play RS2 if it's so bad.

Would definitely like to see more HOTW servers though, the Omaha map is great.

Because i dont like 60 player games and i hate to play with stupid bots. So i search for server there are max 30 player playing and only some bots.
The good of RS2 is the game have no bots. Bur so often RO2 have too much bots on the server or/and 60 player.
For me only games with max 30 player are enjoyable,more is stupid action-gameplay. So when i not found server in RO2 i look to find server in RS2.
But when have RO2 for example a server with ca 40 player and bots,sometimes RS2 is more enjoyable when you have server with only 15-20 player.

RO2 is the better game,but RS2 have no bots and that is more enjoyable. Perfect will be RO" with max 30 player and no bots allowed.

Just join this group if you havent. events are hosted ocasionally. this weekend from 7pm GMT until monday a server will be one the whole time. check the discord or just scroll trough the other discussions.

[Doggy]

i joined the group.But i will never use the sh.. spytool discord (will not start here a discord-discuss).
TS3 is good enough or the voicetool in the game.

Agreed. i prefer ts3 myself but these events are more promoted in discord as far as i know.

The problem is that hosting a TS3 server can cause additional cost to hosting game servers.
We from Divided for example are running purely on donations so extra cost means it would be harder to maintain number of servers and quality. We therefore decided to prioritise of course the gameservers a long time ago and use the free service Discord offers. In fact this was before my time at Divided though.

I totally agree mate, as long as at least a few diehard zealous fans of HOTW exist like those commenting on this page/pages, HOTW should stay alive! It is a great mod/expansion/genre with excellent scenarios & myriad possiblilities for future maps/additions/expansion. With a basic core as good as HOTW has, why should it die? It is amazing ANY US troops got off Omaha Beach at all? A bloody miracle really, given the turkey shoot the Landing Craft presented the German MG crews & artillery gunners, open slather as soon as those big front doors/gates came down the German MGs would have had the poor stuck isolated US Rangers etc well & truly in their sights. On the other hand the otherworldly display the US British & Canadian forces landing at Utah Omaha Gold Juno or Sword, the myriad boats landing craft ships destroyers & battleships blackening the sea to the horizon, the swarms of RAF bombers fighter planes & gliders/troop carriers darkening the skies above them simultaneously; even German commanders high up the food chain insisted it was a sight of Biblical proportions to behold!
How those Germans stayed at their posts/battlements/bunkers & took head on this onslaught, i will never know!? How those Allied soldiers landed on Normandy beaches in a hail of fire & brimstone, deafening shelling & murderous MG fire, i will never know!?
D-Day 6th June 1969 is my birthday actually so the importance of The Longest Day is never lost on me for a day, minute or moment!.

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old,
age shall not weary them nor the years condemn,
at the going down of the Sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.

Too bad all of the servers running HotW have like 150+ ping for me

[Doggy]

!50 ping is not otimal,but better to play a very great game with high ping then actionmess like low ping. Sure over 200 ping is too much,but 150 is playable.
You have ony a disadvantage when for example you and the enemy shoot at the same time....the higher pinger will died.
But when you see the enemy before,muild traps,sneak,slow moving,locate for enmies nouse like steps,reload ect you have not a very big disadvantage.

I remember of the very good Americas Army 2 time (FORGET Proving Grounds,only a mainstream-version),there have many players (me too) a ping of ca. 150 but we have a very good game-experience.

Fast paced of actionmess-games like call of duty,battlefield (and so often Rising storm 2) you need a low ping.

But when your ping is ca. 150 RO2/HOTW you can really play with it. And i would play it with the ping.When you have ca. 80-90 % a great gameplay and only ca. 20% you died/have an disadvantage because higher ping.....no problem(for me).

Another example: i played on RO2 server with so many mainstream-idiots they never heared about tactcal gameplay (move in a team,dont run always alone,slow moving,give your teammates cover ect.).On this server i have had a ping ca 50.
But the gameplay was so horrible. Then i played on an american(and later russian) server: Fantastic gameplay there.Without saying a word the teammates give you cover or moving with you (not such idiotic rambogameplay like the most other server). And my ping was ca 200,sometimes 250. I noticed some lags ect but the gameplay was much more better then to play with such mainstream-idiots like the other server.

Best gameplay i noticed so often on russian and american server (same in arma3). But there your ping is very high,but i can live with it.

So a ping of 150 is not optimal,but absolute playable. A ping og ca 200-250 is not so good,but when you have very great player iand slower gameplay (like in arma3) it is ok too.

HOTW is a great mod (one of the best i ever saw) and i would play it with a ping of 150.

So PLAY HOTW,JOIN THE GROUP AND ENJOY A MOD WITH A SUPER QUALITY YOU SEE NOT VERY OFTEN !!!!!
