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.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Today's render is of a British tank that holds a special place in the Forgotten Hope community, having been suggested heavily by the community. It is the Churchill Mk. III infantry tank!

The British Churchill was a heavy infantry tank that came into service in 1941. It was large, well armed, well protected, and would spawn many Churchill-based variants later in the war. In 1942, six Mk. IIIs were sent to help fight the Germans in North Africa. Armed with 6-pounder main guns, the tanks of "KingForce" were reportedly able to hold out and only sustained minor damage from anti-tank guns. The Mk. III would be later replaced by the more numerous Mk. IV variant, but not before the Mk. III would be credited with capturing the first Tiger tank for the western Allies. The Churchill Mk. III tank was made by Toddel and Kraetzer. It was exported and coded by Kev4000.

On another note, in an attempt to establish better communication, we are asking any and all FH2 server administrators to send an email or private message to the developer team with the following information:

Forum name, in-game name, server you manage, and website of server. Thank you.

Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is Droidi(Fin). You can view the winning submission here.

We are now accepting entries for the week of Jan. 15th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here.


That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel channel, our public forums, and/or our Twitter and Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news.

I never would've guessed a vehicle called Churchill would be a British vehicle.

Don't we already have a Churchill in some of the Normandy maps?

I thought the Mk.IV was the first to have the 6pdr gun, i thought the Mk.I through Mk.III had the 2pdr.

I really look forward to seeing what variants there'll be available in the future, I've got my fingers crossed for the AVRE. I wonder if a Bridge-laying or fascine bundle dropping variant would be possible, it would be gold on maps with a dividing water course like Villers Bocage.
