Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

[Spawndemon]

The team behind the Forgotten Hope 2 mod are back today with a new update. No special news today, just strictly new images to showcase. Take a look:

The British Army referred to the M3 Light Tank the Stuart after legendary Confederate Civil War cavalry General Jeb Stuart, in keeping with their common practice of naming lend-lease tanks after American generals. The British 7th Armoured Division also supplied their own nickname, calling the vehicle 'Honey' due to its superior reliability and agility. As with the German Panzer II the Stuart proved to be too weakly armed to deal with later enemy medium or heavy tanks and was restricted to a reconnaissance role later on. The version we are showcasing today is the M3 light tank Stuart II, which was modeled and skinned by Rad and coded by ctz.

Next in today's update are an assortment of static objects, so the Honey is not forced to drive through the empty and endless desert all the time. First you can see a ruin of an African house, which was made by Lobo and Rad. And this is not just an ordinary ruin - the idea is to use the closed part above the stairs as a protected spawn point. For the ones who do not know, we'd like to explain it:

Players spawning inside can go out, but no one outside is able to go up and so enemy spawn campers have less opportunity to attack people before they can react. For many reasons, this is not a perfect fix for every situation, but along with other solutions, should allow players to spawn in greater safety. More statics are planned based on this principle.

Also, here you can see a small African house made by our betatester Toddel, along with the last item for our update--another trench created by Lobo and Hush from the BF 1936 mod, who donated the stone wall texture.

lol, let the conspiracy begin.

I just hope FH2 will be out before the release of BF4 (2009?) a remake of the infamous BF1942 where you will be able to "dolphin dive" into your screen and play online with 10 000players on the same server without any lag. Real world graphics, physhics, sounds etc.
Im probably just dreaming but who knows maybe DICE can surprise us with yet another revolution, I just hope DICE Canada dont screw it up with their "lovely" patches :rolleyes

Oh yea... I went a little offtopic there sorry... great news update!

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update

if you guys go to the forgotten hope forums, one of the first things you'll immediatly realize is that the "release date" topic is HOTLY spoken about. everyone wants an announcement of one, even a broad monthish estimate, but the devs are committed to never announcing a release date until they know for absoulte sure. its a very touchy subject with them and if you dont want lobo's wrath of terror i suggest dont ask it
