Forgotten Hope 2

Hey folks,
I'm a huge fan of the Forgotten Hope series, a WW2 modification for Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2. Today, the 2.4 update will be released (ETA 5mins) and I'd like to know if there are more FH/FH2 players out here.
The website is !currently struggeling to handle the massive numbes of visitors, so the normal website isn't visible. You can take a look at in in a few days I think.
Here's a link:
http://www.fhmod.org/
Feel free to discuss here! :D

hell yeah, downloadnig right now!

Password is:

Forgotten_Password_2.4_07.2011

2.4 brings the Battle of the Bulge.. :D

what is this password used for?

To extract the RAR-archives that you download(ed).

Only if I still had BF2. Think I played it so much back in the day I broke the disk :-X

I'd be temped to buy BF2 from steam if FH2 is compatible with it...?

QuotePlease note! When launching 2.4 for the first time, you will need to "retrieve account" or, if you wish, create a new one. This is due to changes we've made to ensure less problems with shaders and make Forgotten Hope 2 compatible with Steam.

I guess it is then ;D

... I'm confused. What should I do then  :-[

Install Forgotten Hope 2 ;)

Well, I got BF2, but it's going to take a few hours to torrent FH since my ISP caps the internet at 250kb/s when I download too much in a day >:(

FH 2.4 releases today. Must take deep breath.....must calm down...... . Downloading now.

Got it, played it, loved it.

The battles are tight and intense on 64+ servers, there's artillery landing absolutely everywhere on the front line. I've turned my volume very high to get the full force of the sounds... I swear I was almost deafened when somebody started firing an MG42 behind me.

Anyway, I'll definitely be playing more later today. :P

As you might know, Fh2 is also working on the eastern theatre of war:

Wow, that's a bunch of awesomeness! I really eager to see how FH2 developes on the Eastern Front. Didn't see the PPSH-43 until now, looks sweet! Great work as usual.  :)

Since you guys know alot about FH2 can someone help me install it. I have BF2 and tried to get FH2 but it didn't work :-\. I rread their instructions but I got confused ???. Which patch(es) do I download and why is there a password. I dont get it ???

First of all you need an unpirated copy of BF2. Install it and patch it to version 1.5. The next step is downloading Forgotten Hope 2.4 from here:

http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/fh2_downloads.php

Take the Full Download. You have to download 3 parts helpfully labeled Part1-3. Install them in order. If BF2 is installed properly, you can just click next through all of it.

Thx for helping em Ts4EVER. But I have a few questions.

1: Why aren't there medics or snipers?

2: Where are the weapons usually hidden. I only found out there were hidden weapons when I spawned in a bell tower and saw a sniper tucked in the corner :P

3: Whats the point of a minesweeper if you can see the mine?

4: What are some small maps b/c I don't want to have to keep running for like 2 min just to get shot and wait 20 sec :(

5: Where is the crosshair on the screen? Also where is the icon the shows you where the flag is? I got lost for a while :P

6: In order to shoot a target far away to you have to put you ironsights in front of the target and elevate it or do you just put it directly on the target. Some games implement this and some don't.

1. Sniper is very dangerous and powerful, so it's fairly limited. Medic are limited, but nobody uses them :P

2. In main base/deployment area. In towers often you'll find sniper rifles, and other weapons are mostly hidden in buildings.

3. I have no idea xD

4. Small maps are those 16x16 players, but nobody plays it. If you want to spawn closer, change spawning point [enter, select other dot, enter] or join squad. Then you'll be able to spawn of Squad Leader's position, if he's alive.

5. There's no crosshair. Realism FTW. And use 'm' key to open map. You'll find yourself there, and after few games you'll just know where to go :)

6. Depends on the weapon you shoot and the distance. For instance with sniper rifle you must aim like 4-7 milimeters over the target when he's at long distance. With other weapons, like Kar98 or Enfiled, try to aim precisely at enemy, but when he's far away, elevate a bit. Those rifles have deadly accuracy. With SMG and assault rifles there's no point in shooting at the distance at all.

Also shooting with MG and tank MG or cannon requires elevating it. They are not lasers, so they don't shoot straight. Also bazookas, Panershrecks and panzerfausts work in similiar way. Panzerfaust has very short range, so use it from behind of the tank and ONLY whn you are sure of 100% chances of hit.

Thx cephalos.  ;D. Can't wait to try and find all the weps  :P. Like easter eggs :D

Man, The panzerfaust rocks

yeah it's very effective, but only has 1 shot... I hate waiting patiently for tanks to shoot.

Extra Points for the MG26(t), the portable Lewis and the scoped FG42 ;)

Where are those weps :D?

Anyways does anyone else find the tanks to be annoying? Im walking and suddenly I get killed by a Panzer II machine gun. It takes just 1-2 hits to kill you :(

I thought the logical solution would to be get an AT rifle but I hit the tank like 5 times and it didn't die >:(. IDK if it was b/c I missed ???

Then I got into a tank and was blown up by another Panzer :'(. Then a bunch of them were camping by our spawn points >:(.

Also how do the Bofors work? I was trying to shoot down a plane but none of the shots hit it ???. It then bombed me :'(. What do you recommend you do or at least where should you put your crosshairs when shooting?

Fishhunterx wrote:

MG26(t) you will find on Lebisey map, it's basic support MG. Portable Lewis happens mostly on desert maps, often in main base. FG42(ZF) is quite fun, map Breakthrough in St.Lo, it's in the Windmill on the east side of map (where point is).

All weapons are insanely deadly. don't walk in open, unless you know you're safe ( like walking behind ABC line).

AT rifle is effective when shooting at side or back of enemy tank. Also try to get as close as possible, because it has very wide dispersion.

You mean tank, not panzer ( panzers are german, you should be brit then) :P Tanks are also deadly as hell, one shot from pzIII kills Crusader. Not to mention about late war tanks. I never ride a tank, I'm crappy driver  :-X so I focus only on infantry warfare.

Depends on how is the plane flying. If it's flying somewhere, not straight at you, shoot in front of it. Shells will take time to reach target, and he will fly away.

If plane attacks you, shoot at it directly. At least if it's straifing.

TY cephalos :D. BTW I was in a Matilda and a Panzer IV blew me up :'(. Must try FG42 scoped ;D

I guess PzIV used HEAT shell. Those are very effective, but frankly they suck when shooting on long distances.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Along with several announcements, this week's update will feature a render of a brand new German support weapon. Enjoy!

Our first and only render for today is of the largest weapon ever to be classified as an infantry gun. It is the 15cm schweres Infanterie Gesch?tz 33 (sIG 33)!



The sIG 33 was essentially a 150mm artillery gun, which was designed to provide close-range, supporting fire to infantry units. The gun itself was of conventional design, with large wooden, and then later, steel wheels. It also features included solid rubber tires, an air brake, and could fire a host of ammunition including HE, smoke, hollow-charge rounds. The most interesting however, was the Stielgranate 42 round, which consisted of a finned projectile still attached to the driving rod. Its primary use was not as an anti-tank round, but as a demo charge for clearing various strongholds. From 1936, all the way through to the end of war 1945, approximately 4,600 sIG 33s were produced. The 15cm schweres Infanterie Gesch?tz 33 was made by Kraetzer.

Yesterday, on Saturday the 10th, our awards and stats system began tracking our 10,000th player! This is quite and accomplishment for us on the development team, and we'd like to thank all of our fans for their support!

We would also like to let everyone know that the next FH Game Night is coming up later this month, and will take place on the 24th of September. While this is still a few weeks off, you can vote for which maps you'd like to play here, and be sure to check our forums for more information.

Can this be in Ostheer ^^?

:o!

Where did you get this announcement? I don't see it on ModDB ^^.

I need to buy BF2 ASAP ;D.

Don't use mod db for fh2, it is updated very irregularly. Use the official website:

http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/

Hey since u guys (maybe not all, I can see bb doesn't have it ;D) are familiar with FH2 can someone explain how the medic works ???

I finally found a medic kit (after searching for ages) but all I could do is despense med packs. I had no idea who was injured and they were just rolling on the floor since I gave it to the wrong people.

AND when they were shot and on the floor I couldn't revive them or help at all. I guess the other team noticed I was a medic and tore me to pieces using a Lewis :'(. I stopped trying to use medic after that.

You can only dispense medipacks. The medis kit is really useless, I wouldn't use it.

Do you even get points for it?

Fishhunterx wrote:

I guess so... medic is most useless and underpowered kit ever. You don't get any advantage, and team with 1 medic is a team without 1 rifle. So far medic proved to be total failure. Even Squad Leader has 2 medpacks. I think there's already discussion about it on forgotternhope offical forum. Shame, because I used to play medic A LOT in vBF2. I just like saving people's asses  :P and that's why I'm carring machine gun  ;D

Don't use medic kit. Take tripod MG, sniper rilfe, anything is better than medic kit.

I like being a medic too :D. I get to keep the offensive going and the team alive while getting points for it in BF2.

Which is why this really upsets me that FH2 has practically forsaken the medic, rendering it near useless and the only thing its good for is the enemy since they can aim for the big red plus >:(.

Also why do you have no health bar? I cant tell if I should use a medpack or not until my screen goes red. :(

No health bar because it's not needed. Either you live, or get wounded. When Screen goes red, use medpack.

Hey guys I have a bug on Fh2. My flak 88 doesn't turn. It just points straight ahead.

try to use key arrows

Why is it when I try to repair the 88 gun and the pak 40 gun it doesn't work ???. But when I tried to repair a Bofor it worked >:(

It works, it might just take longer and you get no progress bar.

There are so many things differnt :-\ ???. Ty anywho Ts4EVER

Well if oyu are gonna make a mod you might as well amke it different formt he main game ;)

yeah, FH2 is different from BF2 and I like it. It makes me feel I have 2 games to play, not just 1  :P

+1

It's great at times. I love the changes that came with 1.4, those new graphic effects and field of view changes make FH even more attractive. I also like the fact that the crosshairs were removed, makes gameplay a lot more realistic and that's what I like when it comes to FPS games.

I think we need to know our nicknames ingame.

I'm very easy to find - Cephalos is my name!

Guess who I am ^^

In game name Fishhunterx. But Im a noob so don't expect too much.

I finally found a G43 and Springfield scoped. Now to find an MG42 tripod :P

Can you guys help me :P? Everytime I try to join a game it says Server communication failure. At first it was only some maps. Now its all of them :(. Also how strong ar panzerfaust? I hit a halftrack with one and it didn't die. I also hit a StuG with one, still didn't die  >:(

Haha I saw you today :D

http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=21.0

check this, and if it won't help, I'll ask my friend. He had similiar problem and he found solution.

about panzerfaust... where did you hit them?

The armor plates on the side of StuGs and other tanks block HEAT.

I hit the halftrack in the front. The StuG I hit on the side but I saw no armor skirts :-\. IDK maybe I missed :P

Hey guys how do you use artillery? I tried using a German mortar but couldn't target anything. I tried a 105 Howitzer but still couldn't do anything :'(

You need a target marked by another player. You can also do it yourself, use the binoculars and mark a target. Then, the mortar/artillery gun receives the coordinates and you have to adjust the elevation and rotation to 0/0 values, then shoot in order to eliminate that target :)
