Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Great work Duke! Good to see fresh meat learning modding.

As others have said, it's a little dis-apointing seeing the first release being the African theatre, as it it just too plain for me. But, FH seems to be doing a great job making sure it's not boring so I give you props on that.

FH1942's Western Europe maps were plauged with vanilla BF1942 buildings that got very old and repetitive very fast so I am defiantly looking forward to para-chuting into Normandy and breaking down the doors on some FH2 buildings . I am sure you guys will be able to create some very unique and quality work. Very excited and more worked up about FH then ever since I just got done watching BoB :) .

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

I play FH1 almost every day since 0.5. Even when BF2 came out, I never ceased playing.

And about Normandy vs Desert maps: I'm fed up with normandy maps, that theme is being played to exaustion.
WW2 went on for 6 years, 1939 to 1945, in almost every place in the world, and all people think when they play a ww2 based game is "normandy" and "d-day" scenarios. I for one am sick of it.
I wish we can see some refreshing new scenarios, like Italy, North Africa, Pacific, Eastern Front and so on, and maybe the little known battles, so we can take a break from the D-day paraphernalia. D-day was in 1944, 5 years after the beggining of the war.

Where did those 5 years went? I blame american movies.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Iv seen alot of American ww2 moves that take play in African, Russian and Italy.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Im glad they chose africa as a starting point, normandy has been done to death :) plus simpler maps mean earlier release date?

Where did those 5 years go (sic) ? I blame american movies.

Thats what i love about FH, I was playing for the first time in a while and a couple 1939 maps got my attention, one with poland(!) and another good one with france, with a ton of original polish and french weapons and armor, good stuff.

btw at that time there were 150+ ppl playing on three full servers(!)

plus it runs like a dream compared to post 1.3 bf2

but not as dissappointing as the long wait for a realistic normandy static and texture set to be created would be haha

Im with you on this one ww2freak - bring on the "lesser known" campaigns. I have always been intrigued with the push for egypt and massed ww2 tank warfare - so first release is just what i am waiting for!!

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Haha very true jimbob. I can handle the African campaign for a bit I guess :) .

And WW2freak is right about the Normandy campaign being overdone, and to be quite honest my favorite theatre is the Pacific because of my love of the Marines and Amphibious warfare. Either path FH chooses next I will follow and fight like a devoted soldier :) .

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

Yeah nice stuff! Amazing job by all the devs and especially Duke, great guy that really deserves to be on the team.

Looking great (as always).

Too bad we are getting the Afrika compagne first.

I am more a fan of the European or Eastern compagne with FH BF42.
But still,, I can't wait for this mod to get released.

That doesn't matter we can play the Eastern campaign in BGF and the African campaign in FH2.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

No worries soldiers, the scope of FH2 is so ambitius like the FH1 one, so soon we will be fighting in Omaha, Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, Montecassino, Lybia, early war battles, etc, etc, etc.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

How can people not like the African Theater? It stars the tenacious Brits against Rommel's DAK forces, also including the Italians, though when they make their appearance we won't know.

Anyhow, the african theater has it all for everyone, some infantry, great tanking and planes, and hey don't forget seat battles, remember the U-Boat. The theater goes from extremes like the Fairey Swordfish to the great Tiger tank.

Normandy and western Europe I agree is WAY overdone, they could leave it for a last release it wouldn't bother me. There were never enough Eastern Europe maps with the russians and the Chinese were completely overlooked as well as the Italian theater which would also be awesome.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

I love the African campaign, im so glad Forgotten Hope choose it for their first release.
El Alamein was my favorite map in BF1942, FH1 and DC along with Tobruk and Gazala.
I hope FH do a remake of those maps with the same design, im very excited to see how their maps are going to play out.
