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.
Activated on 16th August 1942, the 101st had "no history, but it had a rendezvous with destiny." The division was shipped over the Atlantic in preparation for the invasion of France. The 101st were given the task of dropping onto the Cotentin Peninsula and securing vital objectives such as the causeways leading off Utah Beach and bridges and locks along the Douve River. The drops were scattered and it took several days before the division was organised and had completed its objectives.
The division dropped again during Operation Market Garden, where it secured several bridges between Nijmegen and Eindhoven. After 72 days combat, the division was pulled back to France for rest and relaxation, which was cut short by the German offensive through the Ardennes. Besieged at the crossroads town of Bastogne, the 101st refused to surrender and despite critical shortages of ammunition and medical supplies they held on until the siege was broken by Patton's 3rd Army. No member of the 101st has ever agreed that the division needed to be rescued.
Their last action in Europe was the capture of the Berghof. The 101st received 2 Presidential Unit Citations and suffered 2090 killed and 6388 wounded. The playermodels were modelled by Pointblank, with heads by Zero and kits by Remdul.
That looks awesome.
Gory gory what a helluva way to die.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
I'm loving that song every time I load the map.
What game?

The second one on the left looks like an ape! xD
You wouldn't dare saying that if Lee Marvin was still alive...
thats just... not nice.
Well... most people consider that an insult so be more respectful. But from a scientific POV, humans technically are a type of ape.
Them Band of Brothers ;-)
Awesome!! They look great and the rolled-up sleeves make them look even more badass!
One sugestion: for the Normandy maps, give them camo straps and nets for the helmets.
yeah, in normandy maps they should have their full harnes on. But isnt the m42 jumpsuit khaki? This one is a someting like green.
There are Khaki and Light Green version. and there's also a dark brown one
44-45.co.uk
and this is the green one: Tacticalwales.co.uk
And for Devs: Giving them Camo Helmets is a great idea! also i thought they wear Grey instead of Olive-Drab Helmets?
U.S. 101st Paras wore Khaki wile the 82nd boys wore light green, until Operation Market Garden, thats when all U.S. Paras switched to the regular infantry green color.
During Market Garden the M42 Jacket is replaced with M43 Jacket. And yes they have regular olive Drab colors
You guys seem to know very little about it. The 82nd had the same color jackets as the 101st. And it isn't khaki, it's OD3. The M42 jacket was always OD3, brown with a greenish tint, like this Smwholesaleusa.com. M1941 jackets were the same color as well, although you had differen't tints because of the way they were produced. You got light brownish and khaki colors because after troops used them for a while, the colors faded.
Oh yes! My para boys are OFFICIALLY in FH2 OUT-******-STANDING!
"Eagles, Preying on Jerry!"
''Hope Jerry don't mind us dropping in''
With Serious accent:
"Don't Mess with US"
Great! Now they should replace the guys in Purple heart lane :)
