Does anybody still play Silent Hunter 2?

Red October1984 · 09-23-11, 11:01 PM

It's the only Subsim I have except Silent Hunter Mobile for Iphone. I'm wondering if people still play it and if it's possible to still play online. I'm looking to get a new computer so.......

Hi, i've ordered Destroyer Command, so i would be also interessed in playing online for the future. Hope it will arrive next week, so i'd give it a try offline first.

Silent Hunter 2 was fun enough in it's day, but I don't think I could ever go back to it now.

Don't get me wrong, in several respects it was superior to the later titles (I'm thinking of engine management, random damage, able to manually control red lighting and, IIRC, it also had a far better simulated acoustic environment than the later games,) but in so many ways it was utterly superseded by SH3. The campaign was awful for a start and while I don't think a sub sim has ever had a better career mode than Aces of the Deep, the campaigns in SH3 and SH4 were genius compared to what SH2 shipped with.

I'm sure there are still people playing it on line with DC - I thought DC was better, to be honest, and I would love someone to make a new version of it.

I got the idea, when we had the meeting in copenhagen. At the same time Inglourious Basterds was running in the cinemas in copenhagen. It's from there I got it. I change the word as you can see.
