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.
The Finnish medium sapper shovel was intended to be issued out to engineers, but also found use by machinegun and mortar crews for preparing firing positions. These shovels were originally an Imperial Russian design, with domestic manufacture of copies also contributing. In many cases the wooden hand grips were replaced with a more sturdy metal framed handle. The hole in the corner of the blade allowed the shovel to be hung from a backpack while on the march. Our shovel was made by Ashton.
