Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
The PPS-42 started life with a Red Army request for a more compact and lightweight replacement to the PPSh-41. The new design would also have to be cheaper and faster to manufacture. The design by Alexei Sudayev that became the PPS-42 more than halved the machining time and raw steel usage compared to the PPSh-41.
An initial production run of about 45000 was constructed at the Sestroretsk Arsenal starting in December of 1942. Since this was inside the Siege of Leningrad, these weapons saw extensive combat testing. The improved PPS-43 replaced it in production by the middle of 1943. Our PPS-42 is made by Seth Soldier and you'll be able to find some of them on maps set in the vicinity of Leningrad such as Sammatus.
PPS-42 was constructed under siege of Leningrad?
Yes, it was a perfect design for that environment. Reliable, effective, and most importantly very easy and quick to manufacture.
I can't wait to play with the Russians!
