As we recieved some requests for a general list of changes, the changelog released on Tuesday being for internal use, we have taken the time to review and rewrite it completely, to provide a clear overview of all the new and changed content in version 2.4.
On a final note, we here at the development team would like to extend a personal 'thank you' to both our testing team and our loyal fans. Without the continued dedication of these two groups to a mod that runs on a 6 year old game, the last 9 months of work would have been all for nothing. And it is for that we are truly grateful to all of our players. Thank you.
Last we have another Wallpaper, made by FatJoe, to keep you cool until Forgotten Hope 2.4 arrives tomorrow.
That's all for today, but be sure to come back tomorrow for the final update and the long-awaited release of FH 2.4. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.
This is so exciting! I can't wait!
This is really great, but I have 2 Questions:
1) Which version of the M36 Jackson will there be, the M10 or Sherman Hull?
2) At minute 1:45 you can see a Jadgpanther! Is that a new unit (since I haven't seen it before in-game)? And if not, on what map can i find it!
m36 uses the m10 hull. Actually its not been shown in any news.
Jagdpanther is a new unit ya. Its on Meuse, Vossenack, may be some other as well.
Im so ecited!!!! But will the Paratroopers defending Bastogne have th correct uniform? i kinda flinched when i saw the ones on purple heart lane. Lol but i like the ones on Ramelle-Nueville. Really cause uhmmm theyre BROWN like they should be! Haha. But either way im still happy its finally hout. I remember the 1st announcement of 2.4!
yeah i think so, devs said some stuff about correct Airborne snow uniform for bastogne and etc
Ramelle has made-up uniforms, just like the movie.
i cant wait for FH 2.5 :P
i cant wait for winter war update, if they ever make it...
Continuation war maps are likely, at least. There has been some noticed at test servers.
This mod is better, better and better ! hope were come more armies (russians), weapons, tanks and more. Some secret weapons be waiting here.
good job !
the only reason why i still install BF2 after i formatted my PC, is this great Mod :-)
Pre-load complete, now I just have to wait for the password. Is it under 3 hours away?
It's right under 3 hours away now.
