Forgotten Hope 2 is a World War II modification for Battlefield 2 and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942 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 the same goes for FH2.

Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: Forgotten Hope 2.2 Released!

32 comments by Fenring on Sep 5th, 2009 digg this super bookmark


Our original plan was to release friday, but Battlefield 2 patch 1.5 and some serious bugs that managed to sneak through the release candidates meant that everyone had to work on getting everything finished right up until today. This is why we did not want to post an announcement the week before the release, like we normally do.

One of the most noticeable and exciting changes in 2.2 will be the addition of 3D iron sights. The main reason we changed from our flat 2D iron sights was because of the rough transition between 3D model and 2D sight. We know many people have voiced their concerns about 3D sights on our forum, but the new sights have been received with great enthusiasm by all our betatesters, some of which also had concerns before seeing it in game. So, here are six screenshots showing off these new 3D iron sights.

The major changes in 2.2 are:
5 New Soldier models:

    The US Army
    The Canadian Army
    The British Army
    The German Wehrmacht
    The German Grenadiers

7 New maps:

    Pointe Du Hoc
    Purple Heart Lane
    Lebisey
    Operation Goodwood
    Operation Totalize
    Operation Lüttich
    Falaise Pocket

16 New German vehicles, including:

    PzKpfw VI Ausf. B 'Tiger II'
    PzKpfw V Ausf. G 'Panther'
    StuG 40 Ausf. G late
    Focke Wulf FW-190 A-8
    Nebelwerfer 41

11 New British vehicles, including:

    Cromwell Mk. IV
    Churchill Mk. IV
    Sherman VC 'Firefly'
    Hawker Typhoon Mk. I B
    LCA 'Landing Craft Assault'

8 New American vehicles, including:

    M3A1 Halftrack
    M8 Light Armored Car
    M4A1 Medium Tank
    M10 Tank Destroyer
    LCVP 'Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel'

35 New weapons, including:

    MG42
    StG44
    Panzerschreck
    Sten Mk.II
    Pattern 14 Rifle
    PIAT
    M1 Garand
    M1918A2 BAR
    M1A1 Flamethrower
US soldiers Purple Heart Lane King Tiger Ingame Normandy Normandy

Be sure to check out all vehicles and weapons in their corresponding sections on our website. You can also see a detailed description of each map, with its layout and many screenshots in the maps section.

Another change we would like to mention here is a change in gameplay. First off, every plane in the mod has gotten a complete physics overhaul, making flying much smoother and easier. We recognised that flying in previous versions was not something everyone could enjoy, so we hope these changes have fixed that. Secondly, the tank damage and armour system has also been given a good tweaking. We felt that tank combat was over too quickly and that there was too little strategy involved, with the winning tank nearly always being the one who spotted the other tank first. Of course, Tigers and Panthers will still kill Shermans with a single shot, but tanks that are more evenly matched should be up for a longer fight than before.

Last, but not least, we have the complete changelog, for everyone who wants to take a look at all the changes in detail.

That's all for today, but be sure to come back tomorrow for the 2.2 release! Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.

My god!! I´ve been playing Fh for a loooong, loooong time now and this is... just amazing.
So much for cheer ;)

I have to say my version is a bit buggy, OP Aberdeen doesn´t work at all, OP Goodwood crashes after some time, and some random crashes in the other maps...

any idea?

Are you playing single player or multiplayer?

I've heard the singleplayer is still a bit buggy on some maps but the multiplayer is very stable in my experience.

You got me, it´s in singleplayer, because no one likes me, therefore i play singleplayer, naaah just kidd´n, i´ll have some matches(mmh, how in the hell do i have to think of matchsticks...?) however, since the patch you can´t start a multiplayer game in conquest mode and set the max. player count to 1 and then capture the flags... so then the old way via the dedicated(or how it´s spelled)

thx

No, the American playermodels are all army/rangers. The airbourn playermodels (as well as the Fallschirmjagers) have not been made yet.

+ I don't think its an 1897 trench gun. Its a Winchester model 12.

Ah, that's a relief about the skins. I just started the download before going to work this morning, looking forward to seeing them in game shortly. Guess I had the wrong model, but the fact is still that shotguns were used exclusively by US MPs in the ETO as they were banned for use with regular combat troops by the Geneva Convention. I'm glad the FH boys developed it, it'll be awesome for the PTO eventually, but it doesn't belong with the rest of the American small arms kits.

Well, M12 used in large numbers, but M1897 also used, in limited numbers, but used.
