[Thread ufficiale] Forgotten Hope 2.1

221e1b6d7bcbbc6e8d5b2f4582fedf19 · December 15, 2009, 7:25pm

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we will show off with a brand new map and some newly painted vehicles to go along with it!

But before all of that, we have a special announcement to make today. Today marks the 2 year anniversary since the original release of Forgotten Hope 2, version 2.0. By now, development of FH2 has spanned roughly 4 years, and is ever on-going, a creative product of dedicated developers, testers and individuals. However, this mod would not be what it has become without the support, love and loyalty of our fanbase. A big thank you goes out to our fans for making this one of the most played mods for Battlefield 2!
Now on to the update. First, we have some vehicles that have been re-skinned in a new Panzergrau paint scheme.

Panzergrau, translating to "armor gray", first came about in 1940, replacing an earlier two-color pattern. It was discontinued in 1943, but combat operational vehicles were ordered not to be repainted. Instead a layer of camoflage paste was laid over the Panzergrau paint to fit with the respective theatre of operations the vehicle was used in. These re-skins were done by Toddel.
Next we have brand new screenshots from another new map, Mount Olympus. Stepping away from the hedgerows of Normandy, players will find themselves fighting amongst the luxurious beaches and mountainous terrain of Greece. It is on this map that New Zealand troops will find the German vehicles in Panzergrau paint scheme.
Mount Olympus was originally created by Sorken and used in the Greek campaign of the Forgotten Honor tournament. It has since been edited further by Sorken for FH2 and cared for by many developers including Knoffhoff, Toddel, Fenring, and Natty Wallo. Now onto the map!
During the Balkans Campaign of WWII, the Fifth Yugoslav Army was tasked with defending parts of the northern Greek border, yet they were under equipped and lacked sufficient weaponry. After the German entry in to Bulgaria, most Greek troops were evacuated from their defensive positions. On March 28th however, two infantry divisions, the 12th and the 20th, were placed under command of a new general, General Wilson. The New Zealand division took up a defensive position north of Mount Olympus. With little support from RAF aircraft, and a shortage of tanks and anti-aircraft guns, the New Zealand troops would have to bear the brunt of the German attack head on.

For this map, Toddel also created re-skins for the Messerschmitt and the Stuka with camouflage and markings as they were seen over the skies of Greece.

è normale che ci siano armi e veicoli italiani nel sito e non ci sia una mappa con l'italia?

221e1b6d7bcbbc6e8d5b2f4582fedf19 · December 18, 2009, 6:54pm

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week have many renders to show off, including the P-47 Thunderbolt, the M2A1 105mm Howitzer, and some more vehicles skinned in the Panzergrau paint scheme.
Before we start with the update, we have two announcements to make.
First of course, the holidays are here. The Forgotten Hope 2 Development Team wishes you a happy and safe holidays!
Second, the 2009 Mod of the Year Awards are finally upon us. Last year, Forgotten Hope 2 made it to the second round of voting, but received only an honorable mention.
This year, armed with the recent release of version 2.2, we hope to take home first place! As only the first round of voting has started, you may vote for as many mods as you would like, however, if you register with the website, your vote will count even more. Click on the MOTY logo below to go to the Forgotten Hope 2 page, and cast your vote!

To kick off this week's update, we have a brand new fighter plane for the Allied Air Forces. The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt.

The P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the biggest and heaviest single-engine fighter planes operated by the Allies during WWII. Nicknamed the 'Jug' because of its huge size, the P-47 first flew on the 6th of May, 1941. Weighing in at 9,900lbs, the plane was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp two-row 18-cylinder radial engine which produced 2,000 hp. It came standard with four .50 caliber machine guns on each wing, and could be loaded up with additional unguided rockets, bombs, and external fuel tanks.
The Thunderbolt, although effective in an air-to-air and escort role, earned its claim to fame destroying enemy ground forces over Normandy and the Pacific islands. The all metal hull of the plane allowed pilots to fly low and engage ground targets while braving anti-aircraft fire. From D-Day to VE Day on the 7th of May, 1945, P-47 pilots destroyed a total of 6,000 armored fighting vehicles. However, tanks and halftracks were not the only targets that fell victim to the Thunderbolt, trains, trucks, and enemy troops also claimed by these pilots.
The 'Jug' was extensively used by the Allied forces, especially during the later years of WWII. It was flown in every active combat theater by many air forces including the USAAF, the RAF, and the Red Air Force. In total, 15,686 P-47 Thunderbolts were produced, and the last of them, flown by the Peruvian Air Force, were retired in 1966. In addition to the standard fighter variant, players will also be able to find P-47s armed with 10x 5" rockets, or a single 500lb bomb. The P-47 Thunderbolt was modeled and skinned by Bender64 and coded by Gunnie.
Next, we have one of the most requested items since the initial Normandy release. The American M2A1 105mm Howitzer, and with it the 3-inch M5 anti-tank version.

The M2A1 105mm Howitzer entered production in 1941 and was the standard light field howitzer during WWII for United States military forces. It saw action in Europe against the German Wehrmacht, but it was against the Japanese Army in the Pacific that the howitzer earned a reputation for being accurate and hard-hitting. Capable of firing a wide variety of ammunition types, the M2A1 was able to put shells on target at a range of 12,200 yards (11,270 meters).
However the 105mm would not see action only as a field howitzer. The barrel of this powerful gun was mounted on many tracked vehicles as well, including the M26 Pershing, M24 Chaffee, and the M18 Hellcat, giving each tank a substantial upgrade in firepower. A mobile version of the howitzer was also engineered (M7 Priest), which served the Allies well across Africa, Italy, and Western Europe.
The 3-inch M5 on the other hand, was essentially a 76mm barrel mounted on the carriage of the M2A1 105mm Howitzer. This anti-tank gun was first produced in December of 1942 when the need arose for an even better weapon to destroy enemy tanks. This variant of the M2A1 Howitzer was issued exclusively to US tank destroyer battalions in 1943 and saw combat in both Italy and Northwestern Europe. The M2A1 105mm Howitzer and the 3-inch M5 anti-tank gun were both modeled and textured by Darren01.
Up next, we have a brand new map! Last week we had shown you a map that was originally created for the Forgotten Honor tournament. This week, we bring to you a map that was first created for use in the World at War tournament by Guderian. It has since then been tweaked and edited by Guderian and Natty Wallo. Without further ado...Villers Bocage!
"D-Day +7. The British are advancing toward Caen and are coming to a grinding halt by the elite German Panzer-Lehr Division at a town called Tilly-sur-Seulles. The British 7th Armored Division is ordered to flank southeast around the Germans through the town of Villers-Bocage and capture the high ground beyond, called Point 213. The British advancing through the area are being opposed by Michael Wittmann, commander of the 2nd Company in the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion. Wittmanns orders are to position his unit behind the Panzer-Lehr-Division to cover their open left flank. At approximately 0900 hours, Wittmann's Tiger emerges from cover to the surprise of the entire advancing British column thus opening the battle for Villers-Bocage."

Finally we have some more vehicles that have been re-skinned in the Panzergrau ('armor gray') paint scheme. This week we have the 2cm Flakvierling 38, the Panzer II Ausf. C and 3.7cm Pak 35/36. These re-skins were once again done by Toddel.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we are announcing the release date for the highly anticipated 2.25 patch which will continue to build upon our initial Normandy release. We also have three more Panzergrau re-skins and screenshots of the final map to be included in 2.25.

Forgotten Hope 2.25 Release Date!

And now the announcement you've all been waiting for! After 5 months of development, we are proud to bring you the news that Forgotten Hope 2.25 will be released on Friday, January 8th, 2010 at 18:00 UTC. We will be releasing the torrent and server files on Wednesday, January 6th.

Before we move on, let us remind you that the first phase of the Mod of the Year Awards are still going on. We urge everyone to click on the MOTY logo below and vote for us! And remember, if you register with the website, your vote will count for even more.

Now on to the actual update. Today we have some screenshots of the map Anctoville which was created by Otolikos with the finishing touches done by Natty Wallo. It is on this map that players will be able to find our brand new rain effect as well, which was created byBenseras and tweaked by Remdul.
12th June 1944. British forces are advancing on Caen. In their path stands the seemingly harmless village of Anctoville. In the morning, as the rain pours down, they enter the village unaware of what awaits them. As they appear among the houses, the German defenders open fire. In the following fight the British forces must secure the village and outskirts to allow reinforcements to reach Caen. The Germans must hold this vital location to prevent the Allies' advance.

Finally, we have even more renders of the Panzergrau ('armor gray') paint scheme that we have been showing the past few weeks. This week we have the Panzer IIIJ Early, the SdKfz 251/1 Ausf. C 'Hanomag' halftrack, and the Granatwerfer 34 mortar. These re-skins were all done by Toddel.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we are bringing you the download link for the pre-release torrent files and the dedicated server files as well. Also in today's update are a couple of renders of some last minute equipment for both the Germans and the Americans. Finally, we will be listing some of the highlights included in the up and coming patch, as well as releasing the full changelog for 2.25.
Before we get on with the update, we would like to announce that the first round of the Mod of the Year Awards are over. We are pleased to announce that Forgotten Hope 2 is the ONLY Battlefield 2 mod that made it to the top 100 mods. A big thank you to all who voted. However, the second round of voting has begun. You can click on the MOTY logo below to vote for FH2, however it is important to note that if you register with the website your vote will count more.

First up, we have the passworded torrent file. You will not be able to extract the necessary files until Friday, January 8th when the password is released. In order to download this file, you will need to use a bittorrent client. We recommend one such as uTorrent.
The following file contains the client files needed to properly play Forgotten Hope version 2.25. If you have an unmodified version of 2.2, then you will need to only download the 2.25 patch (814MB). However, if you have don't have FH2 installed at all, or if you have a modified installation, you will have to download the 2.2 full installer from the downloads page as well (2.7GB). If you do not wish to download the torrent file, a regular .exe file will be available for download on Friday.

We also have the server files for those who wish to host their own dedicated FH2 server. If you do not plan to do this, you do not need to download these files.
Download the Forgotten Hope 2.25 Server Files
Up next we have a brand new handweapon for the German soldiers serving in Normandy. Not only was the shovel an effective tool for digging foxholes and trenches, it was often used in extreme cases of close-quaters, hand-to-hand combat. The German shovel was made by Zero.

On to the next render, we have another highly requested piece of American equipment. The GMC 6x6 truck. The 'Deuce and a Half' as it was often called, is an Allied cargo truck, that saw action all across World War II. It came in many forms, with the simplest form having an open or closed cab. Players will be able to find this truck in 2.25 in both the cargo and ammunition carrier versions. The GMC truck was modeled by Mange, skinned by Rad and Toddel, and the wheels were done by Remdul.

Lastly, we would like to recap on some of major updates that you can expect to see in 2.25.

-Four new maps
-New Zealand Army
-New American fighter planes
-British Crusader Mk. III AA tank
-American 105mm Howitzer
