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.
Following the adoption of his rifles by the Austro-Hungarians in 1886, Ferdinand Mannlicher began to market to other countries. The Romanians and Dutch were notable adopters of this system in a slightly modified form, but there were also more novel adaptations. One such was the use of a rotary spool magazine originally designed by Anton Spitalsky and further improved by Josef Schulhof. Offered in 1900, this rifle was adopted by the Greek Army to replace their ageing Gras rifles.
Adopted in 1905, there was both a rifle and a carbine version. The first rifles were made by OEWG Steyr, and arrived in 1906. They would see use in the Balkan Wars, World War 1 and the Greco-Turkish War. The model of 1914 added an upper handguard among a few other more minor changes. Ours was made by Seth Soldier.
