I was on Youtube and I came across a video called bf1942 mods, or something, and among other things, FH1 was on it. So I saw more videos of FH1, checked out the website and before you know it I was downloading the mod. And Naturaly I kept coming back to the website whilst anticipating the first release of FH2.

Cool, I had completely missed that awesome FH2.2 Axis teaser last year! Never seen it before. Thanks. :)
But reading through that whole post the following made me wonder what happened to the British landingcraft. Did I miss something, or are both the British and the American version on Point du Hoc?

11 New British vehicles, including:
Cromwell Mk. IV
Churchill Mk. IV
Sherman VC 'Firefly'
Hawker Typhoon Mk. I B
LCA 'Landing Craft Assault'
FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

Back then I was following Operation Overlord mod for BF42 and FH was just "that other ww2 mod" which seemed to hog all the attention. Basically I came across FH just because the guys over at OpOv posted links to FH and talked about it. Well, Overlord didnt get anywhere unfortunately and I thought I'd give FH a bash in 2003. Well, I liked the mod and since I already had an account on filefront forums, I started being active in FH section and played FH until I got recruited as a tester for FH2 way before 2.0 came out.

BF1942 was my first FPS game, I got it and played it for a few months until I found out about these magical things called 'mods'.  I couldn't get enough.  I got TurboMod first because it sounded (and was) completely badass.  I played Battlegroup 42, Battlefield 1918 and Operation Merciless and a whole bunch of other mods (codename: eagle never worked for me :( ) and my appetite was sated for a few more months.  Then I noticed one day that there was a new mod in the list on FileShack-Forgotten Hope.  I liked the new vehicles and maps, and downloaded each subsequent version until 0.7. 
I played that on and off until 2005 when Battlefield 2 came out.  The night I got it I couldn't sleep (I was 10) and I played that game like nobody's business for a few weeks.  Soon, I got tired of it.  I decided to check out FileShack for any mods.  Forgotten Hope wasn't there, and I got hooked on other mods.  Forgotten Hope became that one great game I sometimes play when I get bored of Axis & Allies, Battlefield: Vietnam, Battlefield 2, or the First Call of Duty.  WWII was the centre of my focus, my interest in history actually stems from BF1942 and Forgotten Hope.
The same year FH2 came out, I got back into BF2.  I checked the mod list again in FileShack, and I found that which I had once forgot and stored on an old bookshelf in my mind-I saw Forgotten Hope 2 in that list, not but a month old. I've been playing it off and on even since, and decided to get involved in the forums in early 2009.

So all of you can blame WalMart for stocking Battlefield 1942 for getting me into this.

In 2002/2003 I played BF1942 at the local computerstore with schoolmates, epic moments on LAN. In late 2003 I got my own copy of BF1942 and started playing at home, just singleplayer as I had no idea what patches where in those days.

In 2005 I finally downloaded patches and started playing online, the icons in front of server names made me curious, what where these strange modern warfare helmets and silver FH logos? After reading every servername with a different icon I found out about mods, I have always been a history person and FH took my interest, just looking at those screenshots made me dream away, so much content, so beautiful!

However in those days our internet was still very low standard and FH was pretty large so I never downloaded it untill 2006 or early 2007 when I was a server admin on BF1942 for a small clan. However that clan fell apart and I was bored and remembered FH, that was the year I first played it.

Because I was a fan already I kept checking the site and followed every FH2 update there was and on that holy day in December 2007 when it was released I first played FH2 as many others did.

Soon after I joined the FileFront forums in spring 2008 and then got another level up as betatester in summer 2009. And not to forget those great years with the 130th.

Got Bf2 a few weeks after I got my PC in 2007, played it for quite some time online to rank up and shit. Then I discovered the things called "mods" and downloaded "modjive", through that I downloaded OPK first, then AIX. I still wasn't pleasured with these and tried BGF, as my interest for WW2 was pretty big already. Being impressed by that I tried to download FH2 via modjive but the installer was broken, so I never really got to play it. After a few more months of vanilla and AIX I decided to download FH2 again and checked it out, I was truly amazed and played it for some time, then came PR and then FH2 again. I had some breaks with FH2 due to RL things, but I'm trying to get back into it right now.

FH1: I played alot of vanilla BF1942 back in the days and at some point discovered that you could download mods for it. I found a link to FH1 at some site i can't remember, downloaded it and played it ever since. this was at the time of FH 0.5

FH2: I followed the mods development since FH 0.5

I bought the Battlefield 1942 world war II antology and played quite some hours the vanilla game.

Then I started to search the internet for BF42 mods and found the site BF-games.net

There I found the link to the version 0.7 which was at that time not new anymore.

When I discowered the homepage, I saw the mod already exists for BF2 with the version number 2.10

I decided to buy BF2 to play your mod and thats it...

Same story as everyone else. Played 1942 around 2007 after ordering it from best buy using a giftcard I got for christmas that year. Then found out about mods while looking for patches. Tried out every mod that ever existed, then tried fh1. Fh1 took a shit on vista then walked out the door and never managed to work. Around 2009 (...?) I found fh2. I joined the forums immedietly because bf2 also took a shit on vista and walked out the door and I would have multiple problems trying to get it installed, or to play for that matter. Around late 2009 I got a new desktop for my birthday. After installing all the mumbo jumbo, FH2 was the first thing I installed. I managed just in time to play fh2 several days after 2.2. Fast forward 2 years and here I am

I started to play FH2 2-3 years ago i think. Dont remember the version, but it was only africa maps at least. I was informed of this mod by a friend. I think i saw FH1 mentioned somewhere at some forum or something ages ago, but i was stupid enough to not check it out.
