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.
Seth Soldier and CptBocquier have worked to improve the textures of our No.69 and No.77 Grenades, that were originally made by Vic.
The No.69 was intended as an offensive style hand grenade that would rely on blast rather than fragmentation, and to this effect was made from Bakelite. Grenades made in Britain tended to be black in colour while those made in Australia were red. They began to appear in service in August of 1942.
The No.77 was a white phosphorous grenade that was intended for use laying smoke screens, but also could be used as an incendiary or anti-personnel weapon. It was introduced in September 1943 and removed from service by 1948, when the risk from corrosion of the thin steel case exposing the filling to air became too high.
Both of these grenades used the No.247 Allways fuze, that was designed to detonate the grenade immediately on contact no matter the impact angle. This depended on a large lead ball bearing, which would be flung out in a random direction by the blast.
