Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update - 02/27/08

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The Forgotten Hope 2 (http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/main.php?module=&lang=english&flash=yes&mod=) mod team is back today after a month or so with a new update. Take a look:

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. We've gone without news for a while now since the release, but today we have a large update to make up for it. Let's begin by introducing the three new developers who have joined Forgotten Hope the last few weeks. First, we have Gunnie, who will be working as a coder. Next we have Fenring, who will be mapping. And last but not least we have Remdul, who will be helping us with pretty much everything.

Now then, on to the actual update. We're proud to present the next theater of war Forgotten Hope 2 will be visiting. There was quite some discussion about which stage of the war to go to next - on the public forums as well as on the developer forums, but we've finally agreed on our next theater and we hope you are as excited about it as we are. So, without further ado, the next theater of war for Forgotten Hope 2 is Normandy 1944.

Of course, no update would be complete without screenshots or renders, so here we have the first vehicle done for the Normandy campaign; the Panzerkampfwagen V 'Panther' by Toddel and Knoffhoff.

cant wait for this update,desert gets boring quick.

looking at the screen shots ,the grass and environments look pretty darn sweet.

[General Tso]

Impressive.

The next theater should appeal to the masses.:nod:

[Soldat44]

:yay: Woo Hoo!!

[superdj]

Chocolate on meh!!!

[Noriega]

Panther....Heil.

[Rhino]

nice update guys, look forward to landing on the Normandy beaches :D

[Ga-Knomboe Boy]

Amazing as usual, the new vegetation is especially impressive.

[GMEM]

Awesome, good luck! It looks like Company of Heroes in FPS already. Panther for the sex.
This is my favourite part of WWII and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[Rhino]

Amazing as usual, the new vegetation is especially impressive.

ye was thinking the same thing when looking at the map pic, for a second i was wondering if the alpha channel on the leaves had a gradient on it since they are done so well hehe :D

[I am RKO]

As long as we can do a saving private ryan on the beaches, getting sniped in the landing crafts, It'll be awesome.

When you say Normandy, do you include Carentan with that?

[Fritz-Fraghof]

When you say Normandy, do you include Carentan with that?

Carentan is in Normandy and was an important battle, so I would say so. But I am no dev. There are plenty of good locations to choose from hey?

Looks great. I wonder how long we shall have to patiently wait...another update next week anyway.

[Tiny]

Wow that map picture looks great :yay:

[GrossKopf]

Good thing they're working on new content rather than a hot fix to take care of the constant CTD's. Now we'll have new tanks to be driving when we CTD.

I want the 101st and 82nd paradrops too. :D

Never had a CTD with FH2 and i play it a lot.

Also this should bring back a lot of players :) great work and keep going!

Did you not read the update? They are working on a patch as well....

As per the FH2 website


"For our first patch to Forgotten Hope 2 we've got a lot of bugfixes ready, but we'll also add more vehicles, more weapons and more maps. Though I can tell you we have at least 2 maps planned for the first patch, I'll leave the details of those for a future update."

[(BG)Patton]

holy crap my spring break just started off on a high note!

garand!
d-day!
americans!!!
awesome news. now i have to go play pond hockey to cool off...

[Kyle]

Yes!!

Been waiting for this... can't wait for the release!

[General Tso]

There's no sniping in Carentan!!! ;)

:yay:

[Carpface]

I'm really happy to hear that FH2 is invading Normandy. In my opinion, a North African setting didn't do the mod justice, and I personally couldn't really get into it.

[GrossKopf]

I'd be willing to bet more player CTD in FH2 than don't. Maps changes and tanks seem to be common factors that lead to CTD's.

The Insurgency (mod for Source games) mod team made the mistake of not releasing a hotfix immediately after their first release to take care of their CTD's and it really killed that mod.

Did you not read the update? They are working on a patch as well....

Hotfixes should be released within a couple weeks, max, from the problem patch. It's been a lot longer than that.

I love the mod, but the CTD's have kept me away because it's such a hassle loading up again after it CTD's.

[lacrits]

Great news!
By the way.. The two Kattenkrads are sharing the same license plate.. Should have been impossible during Hitler-era!

Several trusted servers have been receiving server side fixes. But to be honest the amount of CTDs I have is not higher than in vanilla and I've played hundreds of hours as beta tester and after it was released.

A hotfix is only necessary when there are large scale and severe errors otherwise you'll only be confusing the userbase.

[RAVENMkXV]

zomg...1944 Normandy...FH2...
this means one thing...they are making the MG42!!!!! :D

[Tiny]

Now you can finally imagine you are that tank commander in the Tiger in saving private ryan :D

[AJED (G.Drew)]

excellent work by the Dev team, the maps and new vehicles look amazing (Panther! *drool*)

:yay:

[Doctor]

sadly its to late BF2 is dead

[General Tso]

sadly its to late BF2 is dead
Sadly, you are mistaken. At the time of this writing, there are 21,000 people playing BF2 around the world.

BF2 servers (http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?vars=&game=bf2)

[GrossKopf]

sadly its to late BF2 is dead

BF2 is still my prefered game... well, BF2 mods. I can't remember the last time I played a ranked vBF2 game. I can't even remember what my rank is in that.

[Rhino]

sadly its to late BF2 is dead

lol, some doctor you are :p

At the moment the Xfire top 10 games is not working, but when it is working you will find that BF2 is around the 5th most played game, still 3 or so years after its released, its hardly dead.

[Eglaerinion]

BF2 is about 2.5 years old not 5. But yeah there are still alot of people playing just not alot of them play the mods.

[Smooth]

I hope they release it before Christmas :D

[Cherni]

Awesome, can't wait for this!

[[130.Pz]W.Fuchs]

I want the 101st and 82nd paradrops too. :D

Yeah looking forward to play as 101st in the early morning of D-Day :salute:

[Augustus]

That map looks great. :)

Things seem to be coasting along now.

Welcome to the new devs, Gunnie, Fenring & Remdul. More talent is always a good thing :)

[Irontaxi]

stellar models...envy is a terrible thing (wishes he could texture that well)
