Patch Suggestions for h&d2 and SS (and hd1, mafia, vc1 & 2)
Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 1:01 am
Okay so i have the double pack from years ago - i think it's called courage under fire. Thankfully this contains the original release with individual patches, so you can choose the version you play.
I played it years ago up to partway through the mosque mission in africa.
However i was playing that patched versions and then i realised a lot of things were actually removed / taken out. For example, easter eggs were all removed and certain gameplay features.
This was important to be patched in order to play online.
I don't really care about online anymore as it was kind of "run and gun with the mp44" crap anyway - especially when almost all popular servers allowed 3rd person view which RUINS any stealth.
So, back on topic:
Does anyone know what the different patches do and the pros and cons of each one?
For example, which versions of H&D2 and Sabre Squadron would someone recommend for me to play once i eventually restart playing them again? And how do they compare?
Oh and the same question for the original H&D and FFF - i have both of those boxed and obviously also the free deluxe dl too (but the deluxe version seems a lot worse). For those though i guess i need to install windows 98 or ME cos on XP the mission after you escape the concentration camp is rather unplayable - the enemy fire goes crazy fast and seems broken.
Also i bought vietcong purple haze and vietcong 2 recently, which i gather are similar to h&d, so the question applies to them too :$
I guess the same applies for mafia 1 too!
Also does anyone know about the game that illusion only released in eastern europe that had places set in ireland and even appears to be in english? Is that playable for an english speaker or is it card because it's all in czech or where-ever they released it? I know they are a czech developer but for some reason i seem to think it got a polish release.
I'm glad to see this site is still going after all these years, so i thought this was the best kind of "illusion softworks" home and place to get answers.
Sorry for all the questions, but thanks if you answer :)
