And much, much more...

You can have a look at the entire changelog here.
Now, we would like to show you another new thing in 2.15 - Awards. We decided to make use of Battlefield 2's award system to give players shiny medals and a place to keep track of how much they've been playing. The main focus in our award system is to reward the player for teamplay. There are medals and ribbons for capturing and defending flags, repairing vehicles and even calling in artillery targets. Of course, there will also be awards making a set numbers of kills with a certain weapon, or simply using it for a set amount of time. In 2.15, this award system will generally be experimental. We may add new medals and change the requirements later. If the awards are liked, we hope to finalise them before the release of Normandy.

Above we have 2 examples of the new awards. On the left you can see the 'Artillery Spotter Award, Bronze'. To get this award you have to get 10 Artillery kill assists in a single round. These artillery kill assists are also a new feature in 2.15, the game will now keep track of who's target is being used by the gunner and will award the spotter points for any kills the gunner makes using his target. On the right the 'Objectives Award, Silver'. To get this award you need to have 'Objectives Award, Bronze', 50 flag captures overall and capture 6 flags in a round. You can see your awards - and those of others - on a special website that will be released later, when it's completely finished.
Finally, when reading through the changelog you may notice another small feature - the Immersive Mode. This mode simply reduces the HUD to a minimum. It shows no health, no ammo and no minimap. To enable this feature you have to place an empty txt file in your mods/fh2 directory named "immersive-hud.txt".

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Today, we are proud to present Forgotten Hope 2.15. We hope you've all had a chance to download the passworded torrents, so you can get right to playing 2.15 after installing, but don't worry if you haven't, because we've also got a list of mirrors where you can download the unpassworded files.

Installation Instructions

To help you through the process of installing Forgotten Hope 2.15, we've prepared some step by step instructions. There are as many as four files available. First, you have the two passworded files, one of which is a full version and one of which is a patch. These files are in .rar format and you will need a program such as win-rar to extract the installation file. The password for these files is:

Password for the pre-release .rar files

>>important-=-read-=-the-ReAdMe<<

After extracting the installer just open the file and it should guide you through the rest of the installation. Just remember, if you downloaded the patch, make sure you have an unedited version of Forgotten Hope 2.1 installed (custom maps are not a problem).
If you've downloaded the files without the password (you will find links to these files below) then you must also first extract the installers from their .zip archives. The program win-rar can also open these files. Once extracted, just run the files and the installer should take you through the rest of the installation.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we continue with our Normandy themed news updates, but before we show you our first DDay map, we would like to thank everyone for their great feedback on our 2.15 patch. We hope everyone enjoys the new maps and that 2.15 will keep you playing until Normandy is finished.
Any game about Normandy in World War 2, of course, has to have its share of D-day maps and Forgotten Hope 2 is no exception. The first of our maps, taking place on June 6th 1944, we are showing off today and portrays the battle of Pointe Du Hoc. This map features US Rangers versus the German Wehrmacht and was made by Beregil.
Just 7 kilometres west of Omaha Beach lies Pointe Du Hoc, a place where the cliffs of Normandy are steepest and tallest. As part of the German Atlantikwall, this location was selected for an observation bunker and 6 fortified 155mm howitzers sites. From this place, the Germans could provide accurate artillery fire on invasion beaches many kilometres away. Needless to say, for any invasion in Normandy, this point would have to be taken out.
The tough job of taking out Pointe du Hoc was assigned to the US Second Ranger Battalion. After three days of intense aerial bombardments and several hours of shore bombardment from the USS Texas, the rangers would move in with specialised equipment to scale the 30 metre tall cliffs. Rocket-propelled grappling hooks were fired from the landing craft, giving the Rangers a way up. Despite all the bombs dropped on Pointe du Hoc, many of the bunkers were still intact and the Rangers faced a harsh battle...

On then to the actual news. Today we have renders of 3 more German vehicles for our Normandy Theater of War. The first of these is the Opel Blitz. This vehicle model is only slightly different from the Africa version, but it's got a brand new skin. The Opel Blitz was made by Mange, Jimbob and Toddel.

Next up is the Schwimmwagen. You may remember this amphibious Volkswagen from Forgotten Hope 0.7. The Schwimmwagen was originally made by Rad, updated for use in Forgotten Hope 2 by Toddel and coded by Gunnie.

The last renders for today are of the Tiger I (Late). This is not simply a reskin of the African Tiger; this is a completely new model. The easiest way to tell the difference between an early and a late tiger is by looking at the commander's cupola. The early Tiger I has a high drum cupola, whereas the late Tiger I has short cast cupola. The wheels are also significantly different, as the early Tiger I has 3 rubber-rimmed wheels per axle, while the late Tiger I has only 2 steel-rimmed wheels per axle. There are many more differences, so feel free to have a look at the render of the Tiger I (early) again to see if you can spot them.
The Tiger I (Late) was modeled by K96, skinned by Toddel and coded by ctz.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today, we have renders of some American grenades and a brand new map for Normandy. Before we show the news though, we would like to welcome another mapper to our development team; Natty Wallo!
First up then we have Mark 2 "pineapple" grenade (right), made by Remdul and Seth Soldier and a collection of M1 Garand rifle grenades plus the M3 knife (left), also made by Remdul and Seth Soldier.

The Mark 2 "pineapple" grenade was used by US forces from the 1920s into the 1960s, with some being used in the Vietnam War. To arm the grenade, you would have to hold down the handle on the side and pull out the safety pin. After letting go of the handle, it would fly off, setting off the 4 to 5 second fuse. The Mk 2 was, much like the No 36 grenade, the "mills bomb" a fragmentation grenade. Because fragments could reach further than you could throw it, the safe way to use the grenade was from behind cover.
Up next is the map "Lebisey", by Mr. Cheese.
One of the more ambitious goals of D-Day was the capture of the Normandy capital of Caen on the very first day. Soldiers from Sword Beach would advance the 15 kilometres along the Caen Canal, past the small town of Lebisey into Caen itself. As with many plans in wartime this one soon ran into problems. The British 3rd Infantry Division ran into the heavy defensive positions of the German 21st Panzer Division at Lebisey and the Allied advance was halted. For an entire month the front remained stationary, until on 8th July Operation Charnwood began...

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. In this 3rd update of the year we are going to take a look at some more allied weapons of war; more specifically - American ones. First up, we have a whole collection of Shermans for both the Americans and the British, then we have a few American mines and finally, a smoking hot new weapon that will come in handy for taking out those tough German bunkers on the beaches of Normandy. Before we begin though, we would like to welcome PointBlank86 to our development team. Both a modeler and skinner PointBlank86 made the final weapons in today's update.

Before we go over to the renders a little announcement first. The ModDB mod of the year awards have moved on to the second phase. The votes from the previous two weeks have been counted and the 100 mods with the most votes are moving on the the second and final round of voting. At the end of this phase the winners will be announced. Forgotten Hope 2 is one of those 100 mods, so first, we would like to thank everyone who voted for us. Secondly, we would like to ask you to please vote for us again in this last phase. You can vote for us on our ModDB page like last time.

On then to the renders! We are starting today with renders of three unique Shermans, each with an American and a British texture. On the left you see the American Shermans and on the Right the British ones. Note that although each version has a different model, this is only the M4A1 Sherman, later we will add other Sherman versions as well! These Shermans were all modeled by Omni, skinned by Omni, Montoya, and Toddel and coded by Kev4000.

At first glance all three Shermans models appear to be identical, with randomly placed baggage and a special hedgerow cutter, but they are in fact all different types of the M4A1. Studying the renders will give away the differences. The Shermans have different gun mantlets, different road wheels, two of the Shermans have armour plates (protecting the ammunition storages) added to the sides and even the lower hull on the first Sherman is different. Out of nearly 50,000 Shermans, over 6200 were M4A1s. Although a very reliable and easy to produce tank, it was no match for the heavy German 'cats'. Due to its tendency to burst into flames after being hit, the Germans nicknamed it the 'Tommy cooker'.
Up next are the American mines. We have the M1A1 Anti-tank mine, made by ctz and the M2 Anti-personnel mine, made by PointBlank86. Whether you are trying to block a passage or simply seeking to blow stuff up, these two hidden explosives will see to it that your enemy goes up in smoke.

And last, but not least, we have the M1A1 flamethrower. This weapon is the perfect tool for taking out those hard to reach bunkers on the beaches of Normandy. Take care not to waste your fuel though, because you will burn through its four gallons of gasoline in just 10 seconds. This fire-breather was made by PointBlank86.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we have a couple of old World War 1 Enfield rifles both for Africa and Normandy and some in game screenshots of the Hawker Typhoon.

Before we carry on with the news, we would like to mention the ModDB mod of the year awards one more time. It's just a week until the polls close, so if you haven't voted for us yet, we would really appreciate it if you did so now. You can vote for us on our ModDB page.

For our news today then we have first 2 old Enfield rifles; the Pattern 14 Rifle (or Enfield No3) and the M1917 Enfield. Both these rifles were modeled and skinned by Seth Soldier.

Early in the 20th century, the British army began to have doubts about its main service rifle, the Enfield No1. Believing the rounds to be too weak, the Pattern 13 rifle was developed with a .276 calibre cartridge. This proved to be a generally bad idea, as the recoil and wear on the barrel were too heavy. As the First World War began, the need for more rifles forced the British Army to change the calibre of the rifle back to the standard .303, resulting in the Pattern 14 Rifle. Nearly all these rifles were produced by commercial manufacturers in the United States, as the British industry was already running at full capacity. Although most of the Pattern 14 rifles were used to equip the British Home Guard in the Second World War, many were used as sniper rifles before being replaced by the Enfield No4.
As the United States entered the war in 1917, it too was in serious need of more rifles. Rather than forcing all factories to change production, the Pattern 14 design was simply altered to use the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and the M1917 Enfield rifle was born. Over 2 million of these rifles were produced and many continued to serve with US troops well into the Second World War. This rifle was common among US artillerymen and Free French Soldiers in North Africa, but even in Normandy, these rifles were used by supply and artillery troops.
Up next is the Hawker Typhoon. We've already shown the render of this mighty plane in a previous update, so without a long and boring historical background, enjoy the view from the cockpit and the screenshots of the rocketphoon on a French airfield on a dark and cloudy day. The Typhoon was of course made by Agus.

For King and Country!

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. What today's update lacks in quantity we hope it makes up for in quality, because today we are showing the new British soldier model for Normandy.
This new player model was made by Remdul, based on the Africa player models made by Rad.

As you can see on the render, the British soldier not only has a brand new uniform for combat in Normandy, but also more pouches, equipment and headgear. This means that you will see more variety between classes. We also hope to bring these extra pieces of equipment back to Africa in our next release.
The next item we have for the news today isn't just for digging holes - it can also be a very useful weapon in hand-to-hand combat. This British entrenchment tool was made by Knoffhoff.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have renders of our Canadian player models and of some new weapons for our Normandy Theater of War. Before we show these though we would like to thank everyone who voted for us in the ModDB mod of the year awards. We didn't get as much votes as last year, so we only received an 'honourable mention', but it's still nice to know that we rank among the best mods out there. We would of course also like to congratulate our Battlefield 2 modding colleagues at Project Reality for winning both the ModDB player's choice "Mod of the Year 2008" and the editor's choice "Best Multiplayer Mod".
First up for today's update then are the Canadian playermodels, which are reskins of the British player models shown in our last update. Like the British models they were made by Remdul, based on the British Africa player models by Rad.

Next up are the new weapons. On the allied side we have the M1911A1 .45 Caliber Colt. This pistol was made by Remdul and PointBlank86.

The M1911 Colt was adopted by the US military in 1911, but it was not until 1985 that it was replaced as the standard issue sidearm. Some US military special forces groups still use the M1911 or weapons based on the M1911 today. Over 2 million of these pistols were produced.
Finally we have some German Fallschirmjäger weapons. On the left is the Sauer 38H pistol, made by Seth Soldier and on the right is the Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 (FG42) by PointBlank86.

The Sauer 38H is one of the lesser well-known German pistols of World War 2. Approximately 200,000 of these pistols were produced from 1938 to 1945 and were mainly used in the German Luftwaffe and by police forces. In Forgotten Hope 2 you will mainly see this weapon with Fallschirmjäger and in pilot pickup kits.
The Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 was nowhere near as common as the Sauer 38H, yet it is quite a well-known weapon. Only 7,000 of these rifles were made. Although the name would suggest this weapon entering service in 1942, it wasn't until September 1943 that it was first used. In practice, the FG42 was a disappointment. It's design was too complex with too many moving parts, causing it to jam easily when dirty and it's side-mounted magazine caused a recoil that was hard to control.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have an advertisement for the new Forgotten Honor Campaign, which starts today!

After months of preparation Forgotten Honor is ready to present to you a new theatre: Italy.
Over the last 3 months our team of almost two dozen mappers, moddelers and graphic artists have worked on this campaign so that every single map will have that unique Italian feeling. There will be no reused old maps with a few minor changes. Each map has been made from scratch using actual battle plans and geographical data from the period.

Italy is very different from Africa. Hilly terrain and dense vegetation provide many flanking opportunities and the introduction of new hand held antitank weapons finally allows infantrymen to effectively fight off enemy tanks.
For those that don't know anything about Forgotten Honor and are asking what exactly a "campaign" is, here is a brief explanation:
Every week until the campaign ends we will release a new map and each Friday a 64 player battle will take place. Players will be divided in two teams, with a command structure based on actual World War II units. No previous experience is needed and everything is completely free. Just click on the picture below, join and enjoy Forgotten Hope 2 on an organized level.

Brand new, unseen maps, following a historically accurate storyline that will recreate in depth the Battle for Italy. From the beaches of Sicily to the fall of Rome.
32 vs 32 battles every Friday night.
England based server with good ping for players from both USA and Europe.
Team play on the highest possible level.
Two armies lead by experienced and respected officers.
An original World War 2 chain of command with a complete rank system.
Earn medals for your personal and team accomplishments.
A unique atmosphere created by a very active and friendly community with people from all over the world.
All that and much, much more, completely free.
