Forgotten Hope News Update: 11th June 2008

[hslan.Faust]

nice update!

but WHEERREEEE is that TIGER!

if you guys dont show it soon, hslan has to reconsider its unshattering support of FH!

[It's Happy Fun Ball!]

It all looks so sweet, as usual. Had a moment of concern when I read the Cromwell was ported from 0.7, but those fears were put to rest when I saw the very nice looking Cromwell pictures.

Just my two cents on one thing:

...on March 21st 1941, after a 45 minute artillery bombardment, they attacked Giarabub...

If there is going to be artillery for the allies to conduct this bombardment, I recommend focusing on mortars, not artillery.

In the game, as in real life, the artillery comes in on a lower trajectory, making it difficult for the shells to actually reach the ground. However, unlike real life, the buildings in the game do not crumble. This vastly reduces the damage they cause in the game.

Mortars, on the other hand fall straight down and are very effective at shelling towns.

Just my thoughts.

The panzer 3 and kubelwagon among other models are both used in FH2 and FH 0.7. However, BF1942 doesn't have normal map support, which makes them look a lot better in BF2. I'm not 100%, but the texture resolutions might be higher in BF2 aswell.

Btw, look what I found

Are those dead horses by the road there?

[Ts4EVER]

no dead dromedars I think.

[Flyboy1942]

YESS!!! The dead camels of FH1 glory. Many a gory death you will save me from my rotting corpse friends... and maybe a freezing night as well.

Love the update. Is this a version of the stug we havent seen before because the coaxial mg and the remote one on top are new to me .

[LIGHTNING [NL]]

Yes this is the late version, the one in FH 0.7 is the early version.

[Kubador]

Finally some real urban my (I hope - Lightning don't you dare say a thing!). And about the map the sweet Cromwll was on - it's Caen as I remember, same map where Panther and Normandy were presented.

[Ts4EVER]

The map is operation charnwood.

[azreal]

those two maps are looking really good. especially the static placement. gj guys keep it up!
