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 Kangaroo was a series of conversions of surplus tank chassis into armoured personnel carriers. Several Stuart tanks had had their turrets removed in Africa to work as artillery tractors, but their thin armour precluded their use as improvised APCs. The first successful use of the conversion was undertaken by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, who were in the process of switching from US provided Priest self propelled guns to towed 25 pdr gun-howitzers.
72 of these Priests were "defrocked" by the Advance Workshop Depot, with the guns and stowage removed and extra armour plates added. They first saw use in August 1944 in Operation Totalize south of Caen, supplementing the halftracks and universal carriers that were in short supply at the time. The Kangaroo would prove to be a useful vehicle, and further conversions were made from obsolete Ram tanks, as well as Churchill and Sherman IIIs. Our Priest Kangaroo was made by max3dd, Stubbfan and Matt Baker.
