Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The guys behind the Forgotten Hope 2 (http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/main.php?flash=no&lang=english&module=) mod are back today with their latest update. This one includes some more in game shots and a new render. Take a look:

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we would like to welcome three more developers to the team. Digital_Assassin, IllicitFilms and Squirrelly. IllicitFilms is an experienced map and film maker, while Squirrelly is a talented maker of custom textures. We will show you some of their work in a future update, but we would like to kick off the image presentation with the first Forgotten Hope 2 item made by Digital_Assassin. With so many new devs, we needed to repurpose his civilian building as a barracks. It still needs a bit of sweeping out, and new furniture, but it comes along with a basement and a wonderful patio. Might be a nice place for an economy-class vacation, getting some rest after an exhausting firefight, or even a hideout for snipers.

Our next item for today is one of the most ugliest tanks ever conceived, yet has a mysterious boxy peal. The British Cruiser Mk IVA (A13 Mk II) was equipped, like most cruiser tanks of the time, with an Ordnance QF 2-pounder and an 0.303 BESA machine gun. It served with the 7th Armored Division in the Western Desert between 1940 and 41, as well as seeing action in France and Greece. The Cruiser Mk IVA was originally manufactured by Nuffield, LMS, Leyland, and English Electric, but for Forgotten Hope2 modeled and skinned by Montoya.

[rugus]

I have been waiting for this mod like a little child waits for Santa near the Christmas tree. Unfortunately some (un)confirmed voices told me to move on and look for something else, as it will come out when BF2 will be almost history :( :( :(

Speaking of the mod itself, the screenshots are GREAT. I just see something it does not convince me 100%: it's like structures and/or vehicles are like... too sharpened, too "clean" I don't know how to explain...

Tetris is an old game, should I not play it anymore because of that fact?

The Beatles arent considered hip by the young people in the world, who have no real taste in music anyways, should I no longer listen to them?

I dont understand these thoughts that people have. I think your missing the whole point of the MOD community, and thats a shame. Play games that you enjoy playing, nevermind what the uninformed crowd is doing. Do you date women because your friend thinks shes hot, or do youmake that call on your own.

If your too young to date women, I apologize. It will make sense one day though, trust me. :cool:

Yeah but if there is no servers theres not much one can do.
Take Castle of Wolfenstein for example its a old game but theres still people playing it,i think Battlefield 2 will be around for a while.

[Mekstizzle]

That interior's gonna cause some crazy lag. I think if it runs like SF alot of people are going to be unhappy, other than that those things look really good.

Cant say it much better than that, lol.

BTW, Those friggin pictures look too good, I cant handle it. Its like dating a supermodel, it just doesnt seem right for a guy like me, lol.

I will still sleep with FH2, and pretend I am worthy of her.

[[PTG]Fusion]

Looking good.

[SoCaL]

I highly doubt there will be any lagg at all. Those lights are not made using dynamic lights, their burned into the static objects lightmaps; they won't be causing any issues with lag, totaly different method than the Special Forces pack. Plus SF had tons of high poly statics crammed into small tight areas, no way FH will lagg like SF, thats a guarantee :p

POE has loads of enterable buildings and it doesn't lag :) SF is just very poorly done.

Tetris is an old game, should I not play it anymore because of that fact?We're talking of a MOD. Tetris is an original game that has no mods and/or expansions.

The Beatles arent considered hip by the young people in the world, who have no real taste in music anyways, should I no longer listen to them?You can compare the Beatles to World of Warcraft, in terms of fame and glory (and daily-money-production). Well, actually WoW is even more famous, I guess. BF2 is not THAT popular, nor is any of its expansions ;)

I dont understand these thoughts that people have. I think your missing the whole point of the MOD community, and thats a shame. Play games that you enjoy playing, nevermind what the uninformed crowd is doingYou know, playing a MOD alone can be fun, but I'd like to play with more players. I'm not the player who sticks to the same 10 servers with the same 5 maps over and over, just because nobody is hosting FH(2). I launch the game, I want to choose a map, I want to play. FH2 will be never ready for the masses just because at the time it will come out it will be old as PacMan. Ok, you're going to tell us you play pacman everyday ;)

Do you date women because your friend thinks shes hot, or do youmake that call on your own
Women exist, I can choose, I have quite a lot of choice when moving in female territories. The exact opposite of FH ;). Do you really think people will clean the dust from the Battlefield2 box just to play FH2? Come on, it will be a piece of history. We still have to fight with EA's patches and bugs, I do not think players will say 2oooh the FH2 mod, yeah let me find those bf2 disks and play a little" when other games will be around (EnemyTerritory above all).

If your too young to date women, I apologize. It will make sense one day though, trust me. :cool:
No problem man, I'm married with children so your nerd-sarcasm does not apply to me ;)

BTW, Those friggin pictures look too good, I cant handle it. Its like dating a supermodel, it just doesnt seem right for a guy like me, lol.
I love the models and the textures too, very detailed (compared to the original BF2 things too). But there's something in the lights... and I see no shadows, making things "float" away :(

Congrats on making the FH Mod team Digital Assassin. I look forward to playing FH2.
