Forgotten Hope News Update: 20th April 2008

[Wasserfaller]

Crete = favorite FH1 map next to pavlov's and Pegasus. The most fun part of it is the scenery and the airdrops, i usually got horrible scores playing these maps, but they were so enjoyable. Sfakia is my favorite right now because i love the close quarters fighting, atmosphere and the area covered, can't wait for Crete.

Also, hats off to the mapper who created Sfakia, the church is mindblowing! The bells, birds chirping, shadowy corners, MG in the window, tall grass....it's almost too good!

Nice map, together with the patch, it will be fun to play.

Can the devs give us a screenshot of the minimap?

[Spencer the Great]

This is most excellent. I must certainly not ruin it by playing on a wide screen monitor.

The prayers of the Airborne lovers (like me) have been answered! Huzzah for the FH team!!!

Could this be the best update ever?

Ps. there hasn't been a 'Royal' Army since King Charles I was defeated in the second English civil war in 1649. Since 1707 it has been called the British Army, as a result of the union of Scotland and England.

Wait...safe drop zones? Yea, right.

So apparently the Ju-52s are not in fact mobile spawners by themselves, so does this mean that when you exit the plane the chute does not open automatically?

And since I never used a chute in FH2 yet (I don't fly often, and I don't bail), about how long does it take to slow to a safe speed? And I'm guessing said speed makes you a sitting duck to anything on the ground.

2 Stukas, plus probable limited ATRs, so I guess we'll see a few Vickers and Cruisers, with maybe a couple PzIIs spawning at the aerodrome when axis or something.

And I also see that you couldn't replicate the paratroopers without weapons, needing the canister with guns and ammo. If this is due to gameplay reasons, then why not limit dropping troops to normal rifles and SMGs, allowing the Ju-52s to drop the canisters filled with Mg-34s and ATRs?

I'm also interested in what happens with bike destruction, bike flipping, and if you can run people over with it.

Great! So is it going to be canister drops for all the german hand weapons, or will we spawn with them
