yeah last time i checked 3 of the 4 populated servers were the same fucking avatarstar map. and its october and perilous port is nowhere to be played lol.
i also saw one of the staff (freakin) act like a triggered toxic little bitch. you have to imagine that guy is in his 30s or some shit acting like a 14 year old.
The new game is too much of a grind-fest, where u have to grind in order to get high level before u can have fun, whereas in the old game, it was fun even when starting out. But thats a general tendency in games today, where its all about the grind, instead of just having a fun time. Thanks for the nostalgic content, Mean
I'd argue it has always been the norm. In fact, many people were outraged when WoW had its grindier aspects toned down in the later versions of the game. For the hardcore gaming community, grind was seen as a way of putting effort into a game and being rewarded by it. In fact, I believe one of the reasons why BF:H was so popular was precisely due to the fact that it was one of the few games where you could have fun without being high level or having super powerful weapons.
@@-shikajin-4078 yeah but when your new and in a server where everyone else is much higher leveled and more experienced it's not very fun. As a new player it's brutal. In most games it's already hard enough because when your playing in a game against people who are experienced regulars as new player, naturally they are going to be better. They will know the best starts and how a map flows and so on, even on equal footing you have an natural disadvantage. But in BFH with all the all the powerful abilities which get stronger by level it makes the new user experience difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if many people who had tried out rising hub quit very soon after. Because the new user experience would be very different in 2009 and there were many more opponent's who are new aswell.
This will for ever be one of my favorite games of all time, but since i havent played for a long time i got too shit at it and everyone else is too good, plus obviously the lack of players sucks, so thats my reason for not playing. i do still have it installed lol
Bro I played for years, its always that shit map thats full or VV where I can't get in. Other servers emtpy / trash connection. who dafuq wants to play Seaside Skirmish with 3 players in the server xD. Also the vid from Jimmy1k about Mhx explained enough. And if I wanna play sniper again like in the good old days before I became member of the clanscene, there is always a mando limit.... its just not rewarding anymore. Give me VV and CC only back and let me play mando once in a while and I would play from time to time.
One of the worst things about the commando limits (or bans) on many servers is forces the commando players into the one server that allows them. Then everyone is a commando on that server and its not fun to be anything else on that server.
I stopped playing last year mainly due to: Gunners are hard to kill in RH Commando limits Limited servers/maps Many weapons were nerfed or "rebalanced" Ive recently have got back into the game and want to stick around for awhile. Im enjoying it somewhat but there are glaring issues like the ones mentioned here
I often have dreams where I play BFH again, it reminds of an innocent and happy time in my life :) if I ever get a pc or have the occasion to play it again I'll definitely make a video of my first game getting back to it
as a noob bfh player it's so rng to beat gunners and everyone plays gunner and everyone on those servers have been playing for years if not a decade, the only fun you can have as a noob is as a commando where you can kinda pick your fights instead of being completely obliterated but yeah seems like most servers don't want to have a counter to soldier/gunner.. idc about the grind thats how you get good but i played on a few where you could get max lvl char and all items and it's just not fun to play against all these 40 year olds who have been spamming the same rotation for years lol good on them though not trying to hate but i can imagine that not really motivating players to join bfh again. i remember when bfh servers were still up you never really felt like you fought the same class over and over again but on these private servers it does and that's not fun to me at all.
3:38 i like the way you drive, you even have a instinct of reverse when got throwed. The only thing that i am different, is the way i use wreck bandage, the little more knologe about what to do when the car hit the wall. AND, the track of car . I prefer make a counter-clock patch instead go head on vs enemy. AND i buff with shield/leg-it aways i can from car inside. .
We need more support from EA, This game has such an unique mode, with just a little bit of support will be good, a lot of kids play these days. Back in 2010 or so there were not a lot of kids playing PC, now you see lots of kids of 9 to 10 years. The game needs more exposure.
Tired of seeing only kawaii kick as the only map being run, it's killing the game people want to play the original maps from BFH not just 1 unofficial map all the time
As someone who hasn’t played in years and recently downloaded this fan project, I reckon there’s a few reasons why people stop playing. The points you mentioned are definitely some of the main factors (especially the level, as you are severely underpowered when competing with others who are level 30) but the general meta has taken over now which has destroyed the game in my opinion. Everyone uses the same weapons and majority of the players in a server will play gunner as it is the most powerful class. This makes it really hard for newcomers or people returning to get into the game because they constantly get dominated, not to mention the player base is mainly veterans who have been playing for years and thus are way more skilled than the average person. Also, the hitscan seems to be extremely inconsistent and outdated as shots barely register from time to time (might just be shit ping) It’s a shame cause I’ve never found a similar game that plays like BFH and EA most likely have no intentions of ever bringing it back, even though it would probably do quite well in todays climate if it had a few mechanical updates and changes.
1. New maps suck 2. Weapons rework made it super boring, like 90% fun weapons were nerfed/gutted completely 3. super dead, only like 50 people left who are lvl 30 tryhards so u cant even have fun anymore like u used to 4. half the weapon combos are banned in every server. In general basically everything sucks, id much rather play the old pay2win version than current trash Rising Hub, legit id rather swipe 5000 dollars in the old EA version than play rising hub
i personally stopped because the servers werent allowing sniper rifles, even though i stopped using piercing shot since like 2018 when bfh clients started coming out. kinda sucks to play when you just get insta kicked
There's an hour long video about the origins of rising hub with the incompetent petty staff, who aren't motivated in making the game any more appealing since they have a monopoly on the service and don't release new content of their own anymore.
For me the problem is balace- everyone play gunner and the other problem is fact the game is old and have really bad mechanic like driving running... When i was young i didn't saw that but now i see the difference between other fps games
Too big level difference when getting started now. It's not enjoyable getting noob-stomped by level 30's when u are only level 5. Also the limits and bans the serverowners have made are ridiculous. I love BFH, but it's just not the same game anymore. I wish they would make the game as it used to be, and then adding new stuff in addition, instead of removing maps and guns, limiting the players options.
Lowkey if EA tried at all, this could be a possible competitor to overwatch, even as a f2p. Obviously it wont beat overwatch cause of its size in the market but it would be a welcome addition to game options
Have you seen the recent shit Blizzard has pulled with OW, its was the most downvoted game on steam, so BfH would have a chance, if Ea wanst Ea about in if it came back
the reason i can't play is that i can't really get the program to work on linux, maybe with bit more tinkering ill be able to get it to work because i know some people did get it to work
@@Iarvitar same, i feel like i've exhausted all my options trying to launch it. the best i did was get a black screen after press play on the rising hub laucher.
Why don't you hire a server yourself where you would have some more maps included in the rotation? In this way you can maybe also take matters in your own hand and organize some custom games etc etc
That isnt right at all. I know they are desperate for players but if the people paying and running and admining the servers cant perm ban people, how are we meant to get rid of hackers and everyone knows a lot of the player base hack. I am not going to spend my time and money on hackers. @@UmiZoomR
Why would anyone would join a community run by MH, EstonianGirl and DraksTOP? 😂 Ill forever be grateful for BFH for all the stuff it let me do, I dont think I'd have ever got into programming without it. I miss the communities on the unranked servers, messing about building server bots and just the social side of it all. It'll never go back to what it was for me unfortunately. Even if we got an alternative community that was run by sensible adults you're competing over a tiny playerbase that is unlikely to ever grow again.
I miss those things too. I think an official reboot is the only way to fix the entirety of that last sentence, since you get a professional company/team that's paid to work on the game, as well as proper advertising.
Me personally I just moved on from BFH. I've barely played in the last 1-2 years of its lifespan and already found new games back then like Warframe that had a more promising future (and a less trash monetization system lmao). Since my interest in BFH had already died down back then, I didn't quite care about the private projects to get it back online either. I don't like such private projects all that much in the first place, since the entire existence of a game then hinges on one or a few people who can just shut it down again or change game systems whenever they feel like.
I have a question. When I watch videos op people playing, the movement of the mouse of some players is a little rusty, so to speak. But when they start shooting, that rusty movement is all gone and they can swap from left to right and viceversa. Maybe can you enlighten me with your knowledge of the game?
I LOVED this game. I got the custom launcher a year ago. LOVED It... but I stopped. Why? Because of toxic players in the custom game. EVERY DAMN PLAYER I encountered wanted to play COD rush in on ground ONLY, or rampage in tanks or run an gun style. I am specify someone that loves to be a pilot an support player. But constantly got bitched at for staying in a plane, an that was if I could find a match that allowed vehicles.. an most don't. But all I encountered complained about me be being a "hacker" for being decently competent in a plane specifically an playing real world support fire style in a plane, an only being a grenade lober on the ground trying again to do support fire for team advancement. But nope. Hated bad. So I got sick of the fanboy ragers. Again. LOVE this game. SO damn much. But game has a lot of toxic "play only like me" style rage players. I never had a problem with the downloads. As regular updates are normal.
My complain is about Mandos and The new maps are bad. Yes the people seens like the KK map, but psycologicaly, when the people play "kk" they got tired of the game faster
60 ping feels unplayable, movement is laggy and leg it/elixir make it worse. Trying to track a gunner using leg it mixed with this laggy/teleporting aim is just depressing.
Dont get me wrong its still very fun but man, this is not a game to be relaxing with. And now with the decline of players you're bound to see the same competitive people.
2024. To answer the title, it sucks. I was an OG player growing up on BFH. It sucks on R.H.'s version. Terrible hit boxes, lags like God only can comprehend, and the DMG per class is ridiculous
Main reason, the admin mxh of RH is a cheater he and his wife Estonia allow their chield to cheat in the game plus they allow others to cheat aslong as they pay them for allowance of using cheats so I really don#t get why you try to talk about that or did they also warn to bann you if you speak about it?
I don't quite agree with you there. Heroes is almost a materpiece on paper with but its sad to see how wrong it can go when the game is treated in a condescending way. Heroes are played on steroids today compared to the glory days, but those years are a long time ago.
You can still play BFH here: risinghub.net/

How many players are active
@@exeptionfamily6159 The peak amount is around 100-120 on weekends, EU time at night.
For me it was not being able to play Commando on any server
oh wow that's brutal. Then I wont download either
simple, rising hub project ruined it by adding a non-original map and making it so it's the only map played (Kawaii Kick)
Another reason and why the map was added, it's the staff members, they are the problem
Agreed @@BFHPTPIRATE
