Post by: azreal on 03-03-2010, 21:03:41
Brand new update in about 30 minutes. Of course, if you looked at our Facebook page last night...you'd already know that.  ;)

P.S. I won't post the update title, cause it'll give it away too easily.

Why do people keep calling it a Centurion? It's clearly a Sherman, I can't see how it's anything else. If it IS a Centurion, it's been modified a LOT to make it look like a Sherman - which still makes it a Sherman in the film ;)

Post by: Ionizer on 03-03-2010, 23:03:24
Where did Djinn's big post go?

Anyway, I like the layout, having the minimap available gives you the "big picture" thing you can't get from the screenshots alone.  Is it push?  Kinda like a reverse Dunkirk map: The Brits pushing the Germans to the sea instead of the other way around.
Title: Re: Forgotten Hope News Update: 3rd March 2010
Post by: Schism-RvtL on 03-03-2010, 23:03:50
Thanks all.

The map actually plays similar to the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzd1gCc5CO8) Eat Uranium posted, but without the Casino (and nuns). It’s mostly infantry with some vehicles.

I wasn't offended btw.

Looks good, but total war maps like Totalize and Cobra are more to my tastes. Or even vehicle-heavy open terrain thingies like Lüttich or Villers. Clearly, it's full of cityfight and SMG bias. ;D

Like I said, looks fantastic, but only gameplay will reveal if it will really appeal to me.

You should be more amazed that "The Longest Day" actually got it right, in almost every respect, especially compared to other "Hollywood" movies of the day.

And the map looks great! Hopefully it's spread out enough so that we don't get too much spam. That's the main reason I don't find Anctoville that fun, other than the lack of SL spawns.

 Nice update but as always it begs some questions like...


 what happened to Schism's other maps? that North Africa one in particular looked to be fun but as yet it has not seen the light of FH2's day.

 Why did 3 separate mappers work on the map? Did CTZ quit and then pass it off to others?


and finally, with the glut of Devs idling on this website lately am I to presume that 2.26 is on its way? (perhaps sooner than later)


 o, and before i forget. If this map is based loosely upon "the longest day" scenes from Ouistreham will we see a Panzer on the map for the Gerries and that awesome 20mm static gun that was on top of the Casino for the Germans to rape at will with?

No, this map is entirely based on the commando raid on the town of Port-en-Bessin.  It was quite a hard fought battle that you (knowing your liking for reading up on things) most definitly should read about.  There were reports of a German SP gun around, although wether it took part in the fighting is not mentioned.

That The Longest Day chose to film there is pretty much inconsequential to the maps layout, especially as that building they used for the bunker was entirly constructed as set piece and did not exist during the war.  Still, doesn't stop you from pretending though :)
Title: Re: Forgotten Hope News Update: 3rd March 2010
Post by: sheikyerbouti on 04-03-2010, 02:03:45
 I just really want ground emplaced weapons for the Germans so that we can get M1 or M3 .50 calibre MG's for the Allies to play with. The 20mm gun IMO is sorely missing for German emplacements, I don't care what static they are situated in, be it a bunker or on top of a building, just as long as they are put in game eventually.



Btw Ramelle Neuville comes to mind as a fictional map,so I was just wondering what real life offensive that map will be based upon, :p

I guess we can pretend a little, it is a game after all.

 The problem that arises when I read up on this stuff is all the missing kit that would actually make the map more interesting.

 examples: German grenade-dischargers, Fougasse flamethrowers, german bike troops, 2 inch mortars (fired without sights), FlakBoots x2 :p, anti-personnel minefields, destructible barbed wire, concealed bunkers, unlimited MG's and grenades for the Germans, as well as tons of snipers for the Brits...

 I could go on but all in all I keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. It seems that 47 Royal Marines COmmando had one hell of a fight on their hands and I hope the fight is well represented by the Fh2 mapping team.

In the movie on the top of the building with all Germans, is that suppose to be a MG15 ?
Would be cool if the last flag is a heavily defended German post.
Here is hoping to push map.

That building is fictional. The assault in the movie was supposed to be ouistreham (sp?) and was only filmed in Port en Bessin.

Nah, he can just rotate all the .raw files 180 degrees and then select all objects in the level editor and rotate them 180 too. Just needs to adjust the statics to go back in their old places.

Oh yeah, and rotate + rearrange the textures as well. Maybe 1-2h of work.

+ Redoing all the shadows of course, so that'll take a few days of rendering.

Doubt it would - Seems pretty well spread out, average sized town, open country but the slopes I can imagine will reduce LOS so no Alamein/ Alam Halfa type deal either (You need a really crap PC to appreciate what I mean)

And the new statics wont cause much, since I don't think they do in Fall, Tobruk

Really not a bad map come to think of it - Not dramatically novel, but I can imagine people will just LO-OVE to do that Free French charge on the docks... :-)

Google propaganda. What you don´t know is that this picture was taken after the nazis changed the mangnetic earth field polarisation in early 1945. That is kept very secret so you all can´t know this. The forgotten hope team is in the lucky position to have a russian spy within the cia organisation (codename: taranov). So we get top secret informations. So Schism did it right like it was before early 1945 because we told him what happened.

I shouldn´t have tell you this, now you are in danger. Better don´t read this...

Why did 3 separate mappers work on the map? Did CTZ quit and then pass it off to others?
I sketched out a heightmap in June 2008, that's pretty much it. Everything you see and will play is Schism's work, have no doubt!

About the orientation: There's a tradition in battlefield amphibious landing maps to have the attackers attacking vertically upwards (bf42 omaha, fh42 gold, fh42 omaha). It was originally intended to be such a map, and only when I read historic accounts (too late!) did I realise that it wasn't.
