It has finally arrived, Forgotten Hope 2 is released to the public!
What is it? It is a Battlefield 2 total conversion set in good old World War 2. Forgotten Hope was one of the best BF1942 mods of the time featuring complete reskins and remodels of accurate vehicles, weapons, maps, and soldiers. Realism and tactics are emphasized rather than the run and gun arcade gameplay of BF2.

I looked back 10 pages.
Did not see a thread.
Try again.
I don't know where my BF2 is
god damnit I didn't know it was out

arg, installing and updating that game is a bitch.
Probably the best mod hands down for BF2 currently (IMO).
Minor complaints are that some of the rifle sounds a little dinky and that there are way too many obstructions around the artillery guns (although this might be to prevent shelling of enemy non-cap spawns)
I'm so used to 6-7 gig FH downloads, heh
So glad I found the disks

Fun fact: the skins for the hands in the game are my hands.
And my CD's are giving me trouble. Ohh, damn you old CDs.

Edit: Awesome. I tried loading a map, and it crashed the game. Sigh.
Edit 2: I just remember it's not exactly Vista that the two games have problems with, it's X-Fi. Double sigh.
Also, you can jump even when you don't have any stamina. I wish they would find a way to fix that. Goddamn bunny hoppers.
You can run Battlefield 2 (Including FH2) in widescreen and have sharp and crisp visuals by following few easy steps from Pajama_Man!
1.
In the BF2 or FH2 shortcut (not the *toolbox shortcut) add the following into the target command line with your respective wide screen resolution so your shortcut target command line should look like this... or 2.
Download the Widescreen Fixer application (preferably v1.32)
Extract the fixer anywhere and run the executable. Set the game (Battlefield 2 1.41) and your aspect ratio (either 16:9 or 16:10).
Run the Widescreen Fixer apllication everytime before you launch a Battlefield 2 game and it'll fix the wonky field of views.
...And regarding Punkbuster checking, heres what the author of the program David Rudie had to say...
*note the FH2 toolbox app there might be some settings that enable widescreen but I don't know or found them.
I love you. I actually just uninstalled BF2 before I read this post. Oops. Time to re-install. Before, Punkbuster would kick your ass if you tried to run the game in widescreen.
Just realized I typed Frontlines instead of Forgotten Hope. God I hate Frontlines. I even told Frank Delise he and his game sucked in the open beta. That game made me angry and physically ill.
I hope this mod pulls through
Also installed the latest pb from the site, didn't help

Hmmmm...
BTW here is a quick screenshot I took in widescreen for those whom may wonder what it looks like.
resize from 1680x1050. At 4xAA on a x850xt it runs smooth!
The models in this game are incredible. Props to the modeler and skinner. Although the iron sights could be a little higher res no...
If only my computer were up to snuff to play BF2 without chugging. I'd reinstall it in a heartbeat!
I'd put it up there with Red Orchestra as probably the best realistic online WWII shooter out there now. And on the plus side both games take place in different theaters of war so there is no excuse to not play both of them.
One of the most polished mods out there. If only there was a modern day shooter with the same features and amount of certain realism without sacrificing all the fun.
Y'all need to give this mod a try...
As it is now, I have to make due with a Boys AT rifle. It's nice that it doesn't take it forever to chamber a new round anymore, but it still does piss poor damage against anything stronger than a Sdkfz 222
Did it bomb that badly?
And IMHO it's awesome. I never played FH (my computer was too crappy for BF1942 when it came out) so this is all new for me, and boy, it's tons of fun. My biggest worry was that it would be a whole lot of boring walking over sand dunes in between dying, but there are plenty of vehicles for the team that's on the offense and as a defender things are so frantic that there's not a lot of sitting around (unless the other team sucks). Nothing is as awesome as sitting in a trench with a 2 pounder firing at enemy tanks advancing over the dunes while Stukas divebomb you and your planes strafe the enemy. Also, riding on the side of a tank through a city only to jump off and run for cover when the machinegun tracers start flying towards you is great. The concussed effect for being near explosions or nearly getting hit by machinegun fire is awesome, and the actual infantry combat is pretty good (BF2 quality basically, only a little more lethal since bolt action rifles kill in one hit). It's overall very intense.
And it's pretty bug free too. There's some weird animations when you move an AT gun but I guess that's unavoidable, and otherwise it's like a freaking retail game. The graphics are mostly great too. Being a tail gunner in a Stuka is almost as fun as being a flak gunner shooting them down. I can't wait for them to add even more stuff; the Africa setting is nice and all but it's not my favorite.
I'll actually be able to get in on this one. I loved the original FH, but my PC's built-in sound tended to fuck with my connection, and the bots were retarded.
Maybe at super long range, but at "slightly longer range than the normal bolt actions work" ranges, I'm totally killing people. The only problem is that I have no idea where the sniper kit spawns so I just track down enemy snipers and kill them instead. Cue 5 minutes of frantically hiding from tanks in craters while taking the occasional sniper shot.
I usually find it next to the commander table or in one of the buildings in your main base.
...what?
This... this isn't a PSP game. At all.

Would be nice to see some PA peoples join the tournament, with campaign 15 starting up. BFE-WaW if anyone is interested.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
The one-person-does-everything from an unconstrained viewpoint with a floating crosshair bugged the fuck out of me through the whole damned series. Hell, I blame BF 1942 for the general dumbening-down of vehicle combat.
That said, it does need a helluva lot of work. Not just in performance and general balance issues, but the freaking maps.
