Re: omaha beach idea
 

Forgotten Hope is about making a WWII combat game with the authenticity of reality. Not for recreating scenes from our favorite Hollywood movies.

There are tons of "cinematic" games out there, allow FH to try to "get it right." It's what we all want. It's why we're here.

What's odd is how there's been 100 Omaha beach maps in 50 games and they all look wildly different. Which one is right?

Re: omaha beach idea
 

the one in game number 32.

Re: omaha beach idea
 

And game #32 would be FH. ;)

Re: omaha beach idea
 

Don't base suggestion on 'cool' films. saving private ryan has good atmosphere but isn't very reaistic. Has some major mistakes.
The fact that film is nice doesn't mean taht it will be the same in game. Both current FH Omaha Beach Charlie Sector and SPR Dog Green Sector are nothing like real Omaha beach, not in meaning of terrain but the defences and 'layout'.
Basically realistic Omaha Beach would be rather impossible for allies as it took them hours in real life to break through the seawall. Still it would be nice to have mines attached to barriesrs, barriesrs damaging LCVPs, minefields, marshes beteween the cliff and shingle, sandbag positions on cliff with mgs, bunkers totally covered with ground (as soldiers described 'impossible to locate mgs surpressing whole beach'), tobruks before the cliff and alot of other stuff. Would be nice to have this someday in game.

All I can say fook Saving Private Ryan Omaha Beach and make the FH2 Omaha like it really was in real life. The MOH/SPR Omaha Beach style has become boring and I would really love to see the beach as it was.

Re: omaha beach idea
 

but will that ever happen tho?

by the way happy birthday to you Flippy !

Re: omaha beach idea
 

Why not? FH devs will do it historically accurate to the level where it won't be affecting the gameplay, as other maps.

Re: omaha beach idea
 

What even happened to the second Omaha beach map back in fh0.6-ish

nooo not Dice omaha
nooo not charly sector

You know that wide front beach, I personally kind of liked that one much more then charly. Which sometimes is just boring as hell, if allied players refuse to move up the beach.
Even more anoying if they "agreed" (audio chat "follow me/go go go/stick together", "roger that/go go go") to move with you to give the Germans more targets, to give the allied an overall better succesrate of actually getting across the beach. But you find yourself alone out in the open looking for teamates who are hiding behind fences:moon: you

Re: omaha beach idea
 

I wouldn't say so. It's a matter of months rather, maybe one full year. But making a mod is not taking that long.
