Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The team behind the Forgotten Hope 2 (http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/main.php?flash=no&lang=english&module=) mod are back today with a new update. As always, they have some new in game screens to show. Have a look:

During the African Campaign, German Panzer divisions in Africa were supplied with various kinds of tanks, assault guns, tank destroyers and other equippment. In the early stages of this campaign Germans were equipped with Panzer Is, Panzer IIs, Panzer IIIs mainly.

Today the German supply ships just dropped of the first Panzerkampfwagen II's. Already obsolete by the time Germany became involved in the African Theatre of operations, it was mainly used as a reconnaissance tank from 1942 onwards. At the beginning of the campaign the PzKpfw II was still indispensable as a frontline battle tank for the Afrika Korps. The chassis was also useful as base for various conversions such as the Marder II tank destroyer and Wespe self-propelled artillery vehicle. The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 121 Ausf C was modeled by Lude, skinned and normalmapped by AaronAsh, unwrapped by Lobo and coded by ctz.

Our next item for today is a static created by our betatester Duke of Holland. The so-called Sidi Rezegh Blockhouse (it was really just strongly built local civilian building, that happened to be well-placed for defense) was the target of an early-morning advance by New Zealand infantry on 25th November, as a part of the series of clashes that were part of Operation Crusader. Other units carried on towards the nearby Sidi Rezegh airfield itself. The blockhouse was heavily defended, and not easily accessible by artillery observers. The blockhouse only fell after a prolonged effort by attacking infantry and their supporting units.

[imported_UH60BHPilot]

That is just insane! The quality of work you guys put out is just amazing.

[DoubleD]

So who votes to have FH buy EA.. :p

[FordMustang]

Awsome work on the Panzerkampfwagen's. Can't wait to see them with my name on top of it!

[AP_piano295]

So who votes to have FH buy EA.. :p

Just as long as SOMEONE buys EA :D

Great work guys it pratically loos like youve updated the graphics engine.

[Greasy_Mullet]

FH rocks, always the highest quality standard. The entire community will be in for a huge treat when FH2 is released.

[Wheelman56]

Stop updating this mod. Its driving me INSANE! Just completely stop updating until a public release is made! PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY

Oh yea, nice update. Looking great.

[Hexadecimal]

Ah, looking at those beautiful screens is like music to my ears. :P

Nice work FH2!

[DoubleVee]

Looks great. The interior of that house looks a little blurry/not up to standards. Can't wait for release. :)

[MooneyBravo]

When are they going to release screenshots of soldiers and guns and maybe some gameplay?

We've been just seeing african houses and tanks for almost a year now. :hmm:

[Symptomatik]

The house was actually done by a community member & beta tester, not an offical FH dev. I think it looks really nice and it's a nice free addition to the mod.

And weapons, check our news archives

']And weapons, check our news archives

How is work going on the infantry models?

Still WIP or anything finished?

[JTF2Soldier17]

Sexy!!! Woot!!!!!! I Cant Wait For This Mod!!!

[imported_DMXSNOW]

Wow, the tanks look awesome. It really does look like you guys used a new graphic engine.

[Ninjo]

That tank looks fantastic, but is there any chance it will be showing a bit more of the punishment of war in the African theater Lobo? I've been really impressed by the wear and tear on all the vehicles and statics you've shown so far, but this one looks awful new to be serving in the Afrika Korps.

[Wheelman56]

I'm sure the FH boys aren't gonna be showing any infantry models until they are 100% perfect.

[Lobo[FH]]

Player models (and equipment) are in last stages of development. About the skin each skinner has his style and opinion about weathering, aaron will read your feedback and decide

[The Defeatest]

im beggining to think FH only has one map!! LOL
super sweet as alway guys!

[imported_UH60BHPilot]

There is no way to tell that it is the same map in all the previews. After all, their first release is focusing solely (atleast from what I read) on the African campaign.

[Eglaerinion]

That is great to hear Lobo.

im beggining to think FH only has one map!! LOL
super sweet as alway guys! I think a test map is used to show of all the vehicles and statics. At least this was mentioned a couple of months ago so that might explain why all the screenshots look to be taken from a single map.

[Augustus]

It's a test map, and yes its the same map in all updates.

We use it to show stuff whilst we are not ready to show maps yet.

[ikito]

i loved FH for bf1942, so im definitly gonna love this one

[Fritz-Fraghof]

']Player models (and equipment) are in last stages of development.

Thanks very much for that info. That is really heartening to hear! Soon I can start preaching to the masses then.. ;-)

[Symptomatik]

You mean you're not already?

Get on it!
