Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.
Today we have a very special announcement: we can reveal that the second of the new maps in the upcoming update will be Omaha Beach! As you might have been aware, we had a little guessing game going on in our Dev Blogs section. We'd like to congratulate the eagle eyed for their correct guess.
Since Omaha has been a much requested and much anticipated map, we wanted our version of this famous battle to be as good as possible. Among others, Omaha Beach was created by Mr Cheese, Remick08, Ts4EVER and Stubbfan.
Of all five landing beaches on D-Day, "Omaha Beach" was without a doubt the bloodiest of the day. The assault troops of the 29th Infantry Division and 2nd Ranger Battalion landing in Dog Green and Charlie sectors had the difficult task of securing the beachhead and clearing the road leading inland at Vierville-sur-Mer. The draw off the beach was heavily defended by the German Wehrmacht's 352nd Infantry Division, at 15 strongpoints also known as 'Widerstandsnester' (Resistance Nests). Each strongpoint was armed with machine guns, mortars and anti-tank guns interconnected by trenches and tunnels. These defences created a murderous cross-fire for any would-be attackers moving inland.
Our winner for last week's screenshot competition is DJ Barney. You can view the winning submission here.
We are now accepting entries for the week of March 17th. The winner will be announced in the final part. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here.
That's all for today, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel, our public forums, and/or our Twitter and Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news.
The Sky is exactly like that everyday here in the uk even during the summer. Lol
Fantastic Work, Very Realistic :)
(This was supposed to be a reply to a guest comment But I guess its gone now lol)
Fantastic work!
That looks depressing as hell to be honest :S
AWESOME！！！！！！
this mod team must have problems with critic comments, they removed my comment about the sky being to dark, and gamehacker i beg to differ.. google omaha first wave and judge by the pictures. You can see that it was not as dark as in this version.
You sure that wasn't just moddb acting up? I have certainly not removed anything like that. This feedback was constructive, i have no problems with that:). Anyways, it's your opinion and you're free to have it. I personally think the map looks a bit brighter once you're in game.

Awesome news. Now please add Eastern Front.
Do you have bot support on this map?
And what source have you used for the house placements and village layout? I have done the same map for CoD2 and I don't feel its authentic enough so I want to improve it, like yours....
