Forgotten Hope 2 Update

[DMC]

The Forgotten Hope 2 mod team posted up their first BF2-exclusive news update.

First of all, as promised last week, we have our newest member jodonnell's first effort, the Daimler Dingo scout car. The Dingo was a speedy and rugged vehicle with four wheel drive and five gears in both forward and reverse. It was well armoured, for a scout car, and sometimes carried a Bren gun or Boys Antitank rifle as armament. The Dingo was introduced in 1939, and was so successful that it continued in service until 1952.

Next we have ingame pics of the Dingo's heavier cousin, the Diamler Armoured Car. This was built as development of the Dingo, which included a Tetrarch light tank turret with a 2 pounder cannon. The Daimler was modeled by by Lude and skinned by AaronAsh and reworked for FH2 by Lobo and Rad.

Awesome update guys, everything looks top notch. nice job Jodonnel on the dingo, I missed the lynx scout car in FH1.

Nice job guys.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2 Update

It just feels wrong, seeing the daimler being called heavier in any sense of the word... lol.

Looks good, though I never found the desert war stuff in general to be asthetically appeasing, with the exception of aircraft.

Outstanding work, like everything else they've produced so far. The extra loving detail in the wear and tear on these is what I love best. I want to reach into my screen and pick up one of these babys :laugh:

Good update, the Daimler looks even better in BF2.

i hope they get this out before Christmas because i am getting real sick of vanilla bf2. i also hope the get the american in the first version of thier mod, cuz i want the garand. looks very nice, keep it up and work on the jungles!

Negative to both. I'm pretty sure a christmas release will be very hard for any mod (esp WW2 mods that basicly need to recreate everything) and the devs already confirmed that the first release will only have German and British forces.

^^Also, I think they want to base on the timeline, start with Africa, and then go to Western front or Eastern...w/e...I still love it...BF2 has some nice looking sand :)

Yes, the normal mapping in the BF2 engine allows a great detail in these small things, the models look pretty and detailed (and these are just still pics, when you see this ingame moving and with the dynamic lighting reacting to these surfaces you will be amazed), but they have not really extra polygons, normal mapping is great to get good performance with astonishing graphics.
