Forgotten Hope 2.0 Released

[TheMisiek1]

It's about time. I forgot I had hope that this would come out. They started work on this like 2 months before the f**king demo came out. Took em long enough. I graduated high school before they finished this and boy am I going to be angry if this is crap.

Actually they worked alittle over 2 years on this. But when do you people get it through your thick skulls that the people making mods do it while they are in college or working full time jobs. Alittle bit of respect wouldn't hurt.

When you grow up you might learn a thing or two cause apparently college hasn't helped alot in that department.

His points are not dumb, they are perfectly valid. FH2 is not a world beater, far from it.

Yes they are. Nobody said it's a world beater, commenting on a mod after you barely played it and making alot of ignorant statements is dumb.

I have a few unsolicited thoughts about the mod.

-The sound effects are horrible. It sounds as if every vehicle is right next to you. I also keep getting a sound that sounds like a camera being used. Maybe that is a part of the game that I just haven't figured out yet, I don't know.

-Maps are way too big, especially since half the time all the vehicles are gone.

-For a mod that took 2 1/2 years to make I just expected....more. The only thing that I really see more of is anti aircraft emplacements, and lots of lanterns with the flame going in all the little tents.:laugh:

-What's with the sky flashing all the time? I know it isn't my video card, so is it supposed to simulate a trip on LSD or something?

I have played POE2, EOD2, DCON, and a couple of other mods quite often. I played them when they first came out, and the before mentioned mods were ALL superior to the first release of FH2, despite many of them coming out a year earlier. The reason that most of those mods are dead or dying is the same reason this one will die despite all of the fanboys at the moment. Too many people want their shiny unlocks and pixellated military ranks next to their name.
I know that this post will get under the skin of a few, especially the "you just can't handle realism" crowd. I can handle a mod that has more realism to it, Project Reality mod is a great example. Besides, if you want realism, the military is hiring. If you go to the REAL desert, say hi to my brother in Iraq. Me, I will just be enjoying my intentionally arcadey vanilla game, with a few detours to FH2 and others from time to time to see if any improvements have been made.

1. The camera sound is the Reconnaisance Aircraft taking pictures.
2. WW2 was big...FH2 Team knew that they were going to get alot of people playing this mod, so they made the Maps big. Now later on down the road when less people play FH2 and there are not enough people for the big maps, then we will have a problem.
3. Peronsally I think the Graphics are better than Villa BF2, I bet many other people agree.
4. I get the flashing sky every once in a while too. Doesn't really effect my game play though.
5. The sounds are loud for a reason, engines are not quiet you know, Trust me.


No, it didn't really get under my skin. Just wanted to point out the questions and the improvements "you think" need to be made.

I think that FH2 had a really great starting release, I think it was way better than POE2, EOD2, DCON's first releases.

I'll make sure to say "Hi" to your brother for you, while your sitting on your fat *** Enjoying your freedom. What Branch of the Military is he in and What unit?

The only thing that I'll say is that FH2 devs should be very proud, there are more people playing FH2 than Crysis.

Gameplay > EVERYTHING

So with that, good job.

@ ulm4lyf/DaRkNeSs: The flashing sky on El Alamein is the flash of distant artillery - the real battle commenced with a massive bombardment of the German positions by Allied artillery. The flashing is a modified version of the thunderstorm effect from the Armoured Assault (?) booster pack map.

Its funny that you mention that about the flashing sky, because that's what I initially thought it was, but then I thought I was crazy and tossed it off as a bug:laugh:

Crysis is more SP than MP, so screw those statistics pal.

well, looks like people are getting tired of it already. My guess is that its because we are fighting in a desert environment and its just not different enough to hold peoples interest. I gotta say this is really upsetting to me, but its a fact. Just look at the player numbers every night.

Hopefully the tournaments will be able to sustain players.

As of about 9am today.. there was 695 players of Crysis and 694 players of FH2...

so um... Just depends on the time of day I guess, but I wouldn't compare Crysis to this Mod in no way,shape or forum..thats just wrong.

I like the mod but I'm going to wait and see if they are going to add the other cam views back in and fix the planes to where you can turn them a little better pretty much the way you could fly em in BF1942.

I agree the numbers are just going the wrong direction, same thing happened to POE2 which was a great mod...

But I haven't seen or heard anything in the way of a tournament, so I wouldn't look there for a saving grace.

I think it was a mistake to use the desert environment exclusively. If they introduce more lush scenarios it won't be for a long time.

Are you the FH2 Gestapo or something? Shooting down the non-fan boy comments? Calling people ignorant and dumb is infact fairly ignorant and dumb in itself.

For those who think they can try and convert FH2 into BF1942, you have just boarded the fail-boat.

This is a mod for men, men who like to use tactics and skill to fight battles. You will find no cheap invisible cockpits and parachuting out of planes while firing a Sturmgewehr 44 here.

European players seem to like mods more than their North American counterparts, at least for POE2 and FH1 and 2. It always seems like the servers are at their most populated at about 3PM EST -- which would be 8-9 PM in Europe (depending where). I'm not sure why Europeans flock to mods more than other gamers.

At any rate, the level of play has increased dramatically the last couple of nights. Not coincidentally, my average score has decreased dramatically. :)

Not when it's true :p

Where are all the OBJ maps/servers? I saw it on the training video...
But I havent seen one OBJ map/server playing.
Thats why I play Insurgency, or the VIP game on PR. So much more fun...
I am sick of just capping flag after flag....I've been doing it since 1942!!!!!

Thanks!

Operation Hyacinth 32 is the only objective map in at the moment.
