[Thread ufficiale] Forgotten Hope 2.1

[221e1b6d7bcbbc6e8d5b2f4582fedf19 (Uhm...)]

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Today, we'd like to show you the M1A1 Bazooka and the new depth of field effect. Before we start with the news though, we first want to say welcome to the latest member of our development team: Seth Soldier. Seth Soldier will be modelling, skinning and animating new weapons.
The Rocket Launcher M1A1 "Bazooka" first entered service with US troops during Operation Torch, in 1942. It was capable of penetrating up to 100mm of armour and had a maximum effective range of about 120 metres. Its design proved to be so successful that it was immediately copied by the Germans, which eventually led to the Raketenpanzerbüchse 54 "Panzerschreck". During the war, almost half a million Bazookas were produced. This bazooka was Made by Remdul and ctz.

The next item we have to show today is the Depth of Field shader by Jodonnell. This shader simulates your eye focusing on the target, causing everything on the edges of your screen to go out of focus and appear blurry. You'll see this shader every time you use the ironsights on your weapon.

e devo ancora tradurre gli update precedenti

Solo per oggi sei dispensato dalla traduzione, è Pasquetta.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. We've got an exciting announcement to make today. I'm sure you've all heard about the upcoming battlefield title 'Battlefield: Heroes'. We were all a bit sceptic about it at first, but after seeing the trailer we all agreed that this game looks fun - and fun is exactly what Forgotten Hope needs more of at the moment. That is why we have decided to move to this new engine and create Forgotten Hope: Heroes!
Needless to say, we wouldn't give you an update unless we had something to show you. Ever since we decided to switch engines our resident artist McGibs has been working continuously on these concept drawings.

Our first release will feature the US army fighting the Germans in France. Of course, we will keep our mod in the same style as Battlefield: Heroes, as you will be able to tell from the concept art. The following drawings are concepts of the US and German playermodels:

Finally, McGibs also made concept drawings for the Sherman tank and various German and American weapons. Unlike Battlefield: Heroes, which will only have one tank and one plane per army, Forgotten Hope: Heroes will eventually feature the complete allied and axis arsenals of weapons and vehicles.

Needless to say, making a new mod will require the complete dedication of the entire development team, so we regret to announce that will not be releasing the Normandy theater for Forgotten Hope 2. The patch however, which has been in development for some time, is nearly ready and will still be released as planned.

Ciao e ben tornati ad un un altro aggiornamento su Forgotten Hope. Oggi vi mostriamo la seconda mappa che sarà inclusa nella prossima patch. Questa mappa, fatta da Bizness, si rifà alla battaglia per la Mareth Line tunisina, nel Marzo 1943.

"Dopo la sconfitta tedesca a El Alamein, il piano di Rommel era senza dubbio di ritirarsi in Libia e creare un'altra linea di difesa, più vicina ai suoi porti di rifornimento. Tuttavia, quando gli alleati sbarcarono in Marocco e Algeria durante l' Operazione Torch, questi piani furono mandati a monte e Rommel fu spinto a ritirarsi in Tunisia e tentare di sconfiggere le 2 armate alleate separatamente."

"Il primo scontro in Tunisia tra le armate avvenne al Kasserine Pass, dove le veterane forze italo-tedesche riuscirono a infliggere ingenti perdite sulle inesperte truppe Americane. Tuttavia, l'armata alleata rimase intatta e stava addirittura avanzando nel nord. Questo obbligò l'asse ad una posizione difensiva: posizionarsi lungo la Mareth Line nell'attesa dell'8va armata inglese."

"Mentre gli inglesi preparavano il loro assalto alla Mareth Line, Rommel fece il suo ultimo attacco, mirato a interrompere i preparativi inglesi e rimandare il loro assalto. L'attacco fu tuttavia un grande fallimento, poichè i carri tedeschi guidarono dritti in una posizione nascosta di armi anticarro. L'ordine di ritirata fu dato lo stesso giorno e coincide con l'ultima battaglia di Rommel in Africa. Il 10 Marzo fece ritorno in Germania e mai più vide l'Africa."

"Il 19 Marzo l'attacco alla Mareth Line iniziò con l' Operation Pugilist. La 50esima divisione di fanteria riusci a penetrare la linea vicino a Zarat, ma, a causa di un contrattacco tedesco, il 22 perse quasi tutta la testa di ponte. Allo stesso tempo gli alleati attaccarono il Tebaga Gap. Qui il combattimento durò 4 giorni, ma gli alleati furono incapaci di fare molti progressi contro i tenaci difensori tedeschi. L' Operation Pugilist fallì e non sfondò le difese tedesche della Mareth line, ma fu un buon inizio in preparazione del prossimo attacco."

"L' Operation Supercharge II fu lanciata il 26 Marzo. Dopo estesi bombardamenti, i carri alleati attaccarono. Questa volta fecero importanti progressi, e prima del calar della sera avevano già creato una breccia nelle linee di difesa. Il mattino seguente la 15esima divisione Panzer contrattaccò, ma fallì nel fermare l'avanzata alleata. Prima della sera del 27 Marzo le forze tedesche si ritirarono dalla Mareth Line."

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we've got the second ingame preview of our Normandy theater, featuring the Panther tank. We're also showing some Italian armour that will make its appearance in the upcoming patch.
When the western Allies first encountered the German Panther tank in Anzio in 1944, they assumed it was another heavy tank which could not be produced in great numbers, quite like the Tiger tank. When they landed in Normandy, six months later, they were shocked to find that nearly half the German tanks were Panthers. Its 80mm thick sloped frontal armour was so strong that the regular Allied M4 Sherman tank was unable to penetrate it from virtually any range. Combined with its 75mm high-velocity gun, this made the Panther a very powerful tank.
The Panther in the screenshots is an Ausf. A, the most common variant in Normandy. As you can see, we made a version with and a version without sideskirts. The Panther was made by Toddel and coded by ctz. The map it's on is a work in progress version of Mr Cheese's Operation Charnwood, of which you've already seen an ingame screenshot in the February 27th update.

The other items for today's news are the 2 new Italian tanks. Both tanks were made by Montoya for Forgotten Hope 0.7 and they were ported to Forgotten Hope 2 by Gunnie.
When Italy went to war in June 1940, its tanks were inferior to practically anything the British or Germans had. The Carro Armato M13/40, when introduced in October 1940, didn't change this. Although it was clearly a better tank than its predecessor the M11/39, it was poorly armoured, quickly caught fire when hit and usually had no radio. Nevertheless, over 700 M13/40s were shipped to North Africa to fight the British. Dispite all its shortcomings the only major differences between the M13/40 and its successor, the M14/41, wre the engine and frontal armour. More than 2000 M14/41s were produced during the war.

During Operation Compass a lot of M13/40s were captured by the allies and because of the lack of armour in fighting shape on the allied side, they were pressed into service with British tank batallions. When the Germans advanced back into Libya in early 1941 many allied M13/40s ended up with the Australians in Tobruk. Some of these tanks had kangaroos painted on them to identify them as Australian.

To help the Italian M13/40s a number of assault guns were produced, one of them being the Semovente L.40 da 47/32. This vehicle was based on the L6/40 chassis and first saw combat during the Battle of Gazala in 1942. Although inferior to its British counterparts, like most Italian tanks, it was capable of taking on the lighter British tanks. 280 Semovente L.40s were built.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we'll show you the third and final map that will make its appearance in the patch. For this map, made by betatester DarkPepe and developer Fenring, we'll take a slight detour from Africa and go to the Mediterranean island of Crete. Unlike Sfakia, this map shows the airborne invasion of Crete. The Invasion of Crete is a remake of the original Crete 1941 from Forgotten Hope 0.7.

"Germany's war with Greece started when its ally Italy invaded the country in October of 1940. The Italian morale was low, and the invasion rushed and poorly planned. As a result the Italian armies failed to make much progress and in November the Greek armies pushed the Italians over the pre-war borders. Italy's failure forced Germany to intervene, as Commonwealth troops would be reinforcing the Greek armies. With the preparations of Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union, well underway it was imperative that the southern flank should be secure."

"On April 6th Germany invaded Greece and less than 3 weeks later it surrendered. The island of Crete however was still in allied hands. As allied bombers from Crete could reach the Romanian oil fields the island had to be taken. The German plan was to take Crete's airfields with paratroopers and glider infantry. Once under German control, more troops and heavier equipment could be landed there to take the rest of the island. So, on May 20th 1941, the airborne invasion of Crete codenamed 'Operation Merkur' began."

"The German Fallschirmjäger suffered appalling casualties during the initial landings. Their landing procedure involved an acrobatic roll upon landing, so it was not possible for the soldiers to carry their weapons during the descent. As a result their weapons were held in a container, which was dropped by the plane. Once on the ground the soldiers had to find the container and get their weapons and ammo out, but often this had to be done under fire from the allied troops."

"With the capture of Maleme airfield on May 21st the first reinforcements could be landed and by the evening of the same day the first Gebirgsjäger started arriving. Despite the casualties suffered, the Germans managed to hold their ground and on May 27th the commonwealth forces were forced to start evacuating the island."

We've also got another Forgotten Hope 2 community advertisement today.

allora piccola recensione personale autorizzata


le nuove mappe sono fantastiche

- creta: è un mix tra la vecchia e una mappa nuova: nel senso, chi ha giocato la vecchia non si perde, ma non è neanche uguale, anzi (edifici diversi, bandiere diverse, mezzi diversi, AA+ altre armi posizionate in maniera completamente diversa)

come mappa è molto bilanciata e gli aerei tedeschi non fanno il bello e il cattivo tempo come in FH "1"
è fantastica per le gare in bici


- gazala: completamente diversa da quella di BF1942, nei formati da 32 e 64 in mp non l'ho ancora provata, quindi non posso dire nulla, "esteticamente" è fatta benissimo e in formato da 16 non è per niente male


- mareth line: mappa difficile per gli inglesi ma non impossibile, i loro carri per avanzare devono attraversare in fila indiana un ponte e quindi gli serve un buon livello di teamplay

nota particolare: questa mappa in versione da 16 mi ha stupito, tant'è che oserei dire che rulla .
l'idea di base è la stessa del size 64: gli inglesi partono sfavoriti dovendo conquistare una cittadina tutta circondata da un alto muro di cinta e c'è una sola apertura, ma giocata con un po' di teamplay da non poche soddisfazioni (una sorta di strike ma fatta bene )

alcuni nuovi mezzi:
-Kettenkrad, anche questa è diversa da quella di BF1942, la sensazione che da è di essere molto più pesante di quella vecchia. per il momento non monta l'mg ma si vedrà in seguito

- bicicletta: FANTASTICA e LOLLOSISSIMA!!!!!!!!!!!
uno potrebbe passare l'intero round a suonare il campanellino

- trattore: abbastanza simile al vecchio, manca solo il clacson

modifiche:
di modifiche ce ne sono state tante, le prime che mi vengono in mente sono: aerei più facili da pilotare, mitragliatrici (mp40 e thompson) un po' meno precise, carri tipo l'M3 Grant sono meno potenti e resistenti, ora le munizioni possono essere portate anche dai soldati (prima erano solo i camion + supply point), etc.

se avete qualche domanda chiedete pure

[221e1b6d7bcbbc6e8d5b2f4582fedf19 (Uhm...)]

dimenticavo per chi viene da FH1 ci sarà un gradito ritorno (non centra nulla con il gameplay )


intanto
