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.
With the release of Electronic ArtsTM Battlefield 2TM, the development potential has increased a lot. An all-new game engine and physics system brings the battlefield to life like never before. The new material penetration feature measures weapons ability to fire through barriers based on their composition and players will need to know the difference between concealment and cover in order to survive. Immense, richly detailed environments from city streets to remote forests, brought to you with brilliant graphics are some of the more exciting features of Battlefield 2TM. And we are going to bring all this to the Second World War.
With over 250 new pieces of authentic equipment, with tanks such as the mighty German Tiger tank and the diminutive British Vickers light tank, aircraft from the famed American P-51 Mustang to the antiquated German Stuka dive-bomber, and weapons including the powerful German Panzerfaust and the fearsome American M-1 Garand rifle, Forgotten Hope 2 has a wider scope than any other Second World War First Person Shooter, ever!
Winston Churchill once said "It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time." But we do look far ahead. The end of our road has not changed, only the stops along the way. Forgotten Hope 2 currently concentrates the battles fought between Allied and Axis powers in the North African and Normandy theaters of operation.
You will be given the chance to take part in maybe the most important campaigns of World War II. Fight alongside Rommel's Africa Corps in the harsh climates of the North African desert as you attempt to break through the British lines at El Alamein, or hold off attacking forces at Tunis. Serve next to American forces as you seek to destroy Hitler's Atlantic Wall at the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, or break out from the Norman countryside in Operation Cobra.
"The battle which is about to begin will be one of the most important battles in history. It will be the turning point of the war." But it will only be the end of the beginning for Forgotten Hope 2. We will be ever expanding the mod to all of the theaters its prequel currently occupies, and more.
Whatever the side you choose you will have an almost endless armory at your disposal. Your weaponry will reach from knives to heavy machine guns to anti-tank rifles. Your equipment will contain everything from the first aid kit to magnetic hollow charges. Your motor pool will offer any type of vehicle, whether you want to drive jeeps, APCs, or tanks, and your airfields will give you the chance to pilot scout planes, fighters, and heavy cargo planes.
Forgotten Hope 2 will also offer different gamemodes for different situations. In addition to the standard conquest maps Battlefield is famous for, you will also need to destroy or defend strategic targets in objective-mode, or take tactical positions in a set order in push mode.
So whether you like house to house fighting in Tunis, tank battles in the African desert or dogfights in skies over northern England, Forgotten Hope 2 will have something for you.

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.
Today we have a render of one of the most produced aircraft of all time, the Polikarpov Po-2.
Originally known as the U-2, the aircraft was designed in the late 1920s by Nikolai Polikarpov as a replacement for the U-1. It saw extensive use by civilians and the military. Its application as a crop duster gave it the nickname Kukuruznik, derived from the word for maize. At the start of the war, the Soviet Air Force was using the Po-2 for all kinds of work, including liaison, medivac, reconnaissance and general supply.
Its most famous use was as a night bomber. With a machinegun added to the observer's cockpit and space for up to 350 kg of bombs or RS-82 rockets beneath the wings, it was used in daring low level attacks. The distinctive engine sound, and the near silence of the gliding bombing runs in the dead of night gave these missions a psychological effect in excess of any material damage caused. Perhaps the most notorious pilots were the all female 588th Night Bomber Regiment - the so called Night Witches.
The Po-2 was hard to detect, and a challenging target for fighters to shoot down. Its simple construction could absorb many hits with little effect, the pilots flew incredibly low to the ground, and it was so slow compared to Bf 109 and Fw 190 fighters that keeping on target for any decent length of time was nearly impossible. Between 30 and 40 thousand Po-2 were assembled between 1928 and 1959, and our one was made by Herc.

Highest Rated (20 agree) 8/10
Historically correct, crude and with lots of violence, completely realistic, action in the most pure level, what else can be said about it? one of the most biggest, and in my opinion, greatest modifications ever done for BF2, brings us the real feeling of the WW2 and makes us feel like if we are there. Epic.

Can I still play vanilla bf2 after installing this mod?
yes
What do I stand to gain by making statements that are false?

This is just one of many models that you have claimed as your own work.
I suggest you remove all models that are not yours.
You have been reported and will most likely have your IP banned from this site very shortly.
First of all, I didnt steal anything. Dont blame me, Im just the public relations guy.
I don't think these are from FH2, especially considering he also posts weapons that FH2 doesn't have released to the public or never made in the first place.
TS4EVER I suggest you look closer and confirm with the artists before saying that.
The others such as the russian weapons are no doubt extracted from mods aswell, since they contain extraction smoothing artifacts.
Possibly from BGF , EOD or FH1 mods.
The M1917 in FH2 carries the ammo box recycled from the tank mounted MG.
The ammo box is excessively small due to this.
Moddb.com
The same can be seen here, he even named it incorrrectly calling it a 'maxim':
Moddb.com
It is the exact same model extracted from FH2.
The M9 bazooka in FH2 was released without the rear shoulder rest included.
Moddb.com
The exact same part is missing in this mesh:
Moddb.com
Same can be said for THompson, grease gun etc.
You should confirm with Seth soldier or extract them yourself.
Then click on the Report button to get this cold war rip off removed.
Moddb.com
I don't even have EOD or BGF mod! And how can I possibly get FH1!? I don't even own Battlefield 1942! Incompetent people like you should be banned! All you do is moan and at the end of the day where is it gonna get you!? It is hard for me to make weapon models that already exist in other mods without getting accused of plagiarism because, and in real life, they are the SAME damm gun!
Ninja the cat,you are caught in your own web of lies.
You want more proof that these models do not belong to you?
I fully expected you to say that, thats why I took the liberty to prepare yet another example.
http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y505/hansfritz11/Stolen_FH2_art_zpsda4f271b.jpg
Others like the M3 grease gun and such, are lower level LODs of the original FH2 model.
I am not going to waste my own time extrating every single model that you have stolen from FH2 and other modifications.
Suffice to say nobody is going to associate themselves with your 'Cold War mod' due to your plagiarism.
Nobody is coming to texture your stolen art.
Or animate it.
Or code it.
Or export it.
Many before you have tried to take credit for other peoples work.
You are not the first.
I always find it amusing that criminals think that everyone else in the world are as foolish as they are.
You just won't give up will you? What do you want to gain from this?
i guess hes driving u mad don't listen to his bla talk
