Forgotten Hope News Update: 12th of July, 2010

[McCloskey]

Yeah, what's up with all that hatred? Is it because of its 'historical inaccuracy'? Well, then why nobody bitches about StG44 ZF, for instance...

Map looks delightful, will be a pleasure to play it

[THeTA0123]

Yep it will. Finnaly a way to hone my Bazooka skills


well to get any skill i mean

[Thorondor123]

Does US player models in game right now look like that?

Ooooooo   awsome update, was always looking forward to this map....

also, is it me or does it look like the American 'green' color was weathered a bit for this new patch?  

No, it was desaturated for Ramelle. Just like the film Saving Private Ryan was desaturated by 60 % .

Other maps will still have the authentic greenish colours.

Eh...uhm....
Well,I don´t kno...oh yes...
GERMAN BIAS!!

 Any map that is fun deserves to be in-game, regardless of who made it or whatever relevance it has to historical basis.

 Hell, a Wasp on Falaise Pocket isn't realistic but it sure does look fun to play with.


 great update Dev team, perhaps if a patch is close you could also tell us some more about COOP and SP enhancements which seem to be announced on a weekly basis by the 'Devotees' of the SP forum threads.

(don't tell me any bullshit about FH2 being a MP only game btw, anyone who knows better realizes how many of us have to resort to COOP and SP in order to get some FH2 playing time. On a side note, it could also arouse Jumjum from his slumber/ennui and rejoin us on the forums  )

From the time it took on this map and the time it took to 'get it right', I know this map will rock! And desaturation? Is that even possible for a single map? It sure makes the tiger and uniforms look tres cool.

So what custom stuff does this map have? I know it supposed to have the bipod-less BAR and mobile Ack-Ack. What else, what else?! *Jumping up and down*

Oh, and is it the whole.. as in like Road to Ramelle with 32 or 16 sized being the end-battle or something, or the end battle for the 64 size? cuz some of those places, like where the Pz IV look new...

Either way they look great. Now I'm no history buff, and i don't wanna start this discussion here... but didn't the real US uniforms get their color 'washed' in real life, due to sun, weathering etc...? Or was it only for the movie? cause id like to see some of these uniforms on other normandy maps

[djinn]

Not here...please... the map already brings enough flame as is

[Thorondor123]

They just copied the real textures and modified them.

I've not seen any of this BS from actual devs for a long time now.  But we now have Remick on the team, and it remains to be seen if he will survive the SP dev curse than took Bizness and Winterhilf away from us.  But most of the stuff in the SP forum is unnofficial until such a time as the guys who make it are made devs or their stuff is used by the SP dev.

And btw, any US soldiers I find on the stairs won't get the same treatment as Upham.  You'll be dead before you can even think of shitting yourself.

[SiCaRiO]

wasnt the FH team so proud of their trully historical correcness regarding US uniforms??

gotta love the irony XD

Lol! that made me laugh so hard

gotta love the irony XDThe devs I know have a sense of fun.. More so than most of the community in fact, planned April Fool's day updates, pink Panther roaring, Barbie-Painted KT? Desaturating uniforms and tanks just seems right at par with everything else, if you ask me... bless-ya souls devs, bless-ya!


Anyone noted this little thing... Instant classic wallpaper... And the number of the helemt... I can die now :-D..


ps. I need to shrink this but dont know how... Help?


Ok, I just gotta ask

1/ Can tanks cross that bridge with the obstacles there?
2/ Air strike or flown plane? Or just for the shot?
3/ Minimap?

Umm, they made bogus-uniforms for a bogus-map :x
Doesn't really interfere with the historical accuracy any more than the map itself.

What can I say?
