More M&M's
Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have, much like last week, 2 renders of American equipment; the M3A1 Halftrack and the M1 Mortar.!
Read the rest of this update on our website (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/main.php?lang=english&id_news=285).

See, I told you now you'd get your update. Let's see.. EDIT: Nice. ;)
-
Hey, nice work guys :).
-
Very nice work there. The halftrack had to appear at some point, and it did it with style.
-
Nice, I like all the little details of the halftrack, like the dents in the cylindrical thingy in the front.
-
Nice! :) Not what I expected but very statisfying.
-
So this week update will contain American GMC Truck / Halftrack 8)
I told you :D
-
Lovely update. :)
-
Small question about the fact Rad has been given credits with the Halftrack.
At first I thought that you used Rad's model from FH1 but the FH1 Halftrack is an adjusted Vanilla one.
Now my question is, did Rad made this as part of his Operation Torch project for FH2? He also made the US Torch Rangers.
Or, I highly doubt this myself, is he back in action?
-
Rad is working on Operation Torch? I thought he was doing that Pacific stuff?
-
Nice update.
Q: Why, in test server, people playing Tunis instead of new Normandy maps? Nothing to test?
-
Rad is working on Operation Torch? I thought he was doing that Pacific stuff?
No, it was based on a backup copy, Rad lost some of his work in a hard drive crash. We all hope he returns to make more kick ass stuff of course. :)
And Tunis is being played because of some map changes, and the other maps are currently well-tested. We're waiting for a few more maps to be finished before we test them.

Thanx for answer

Ooh look at that beautifull M2 Browning .50CAL
It just looks so good on the M3 Halftrack
-
Very Detailed. Looks great! Thanks for the update!
-

That was the very first stuff he made for FH2. Those American playermodels where supposed to be in North-Africa.
Thanks for the answer Remdul.
And I'm looking forward to the changes in Tunis, from what we've heard from Otolikos it seems that theres another gate added to the first flag for the Brits?
-
Yankee-licious,
Any and all models pertaining to Americans in this mod can only be a good thing. Hopefully a release is only weeks away so we can get back to building a Forgotten Hope presence in the rest of the world.
I hope with all this mortar goodness, that we can look forward to the omni-present 60mm mortar in the hands of Allies and of course the big 120mm in the capable hands of our Axis foes. And of course, the M3 means that we get to see Halftrack AA vehicles, capably designed to tear infantry a new one on the ground.
@ the above posters, I appreciate the fact that FH's Dev team never forgets their contributors, however large or small they may have been in output.
In the meantime, to all of you players reading this, take a few moments to actually get online over the days and weeks ahead and play so we can prove that FH2 is played outside of Euro gaming times.

does the panel in above the halftrack's windshield close? Also, what purpose did the cylindrical contraption that's attached to the front of the halftrack serve?
-

I believe that was used to wrap chains/rope/wire around for various different tasks.
-

I was also thinking this. It looks quite vulnerable with that large gap there right at head height what with all these MG42s lurking around.
-
Since you can close the Sdkfz hatches, I guess those too.
Oh, and looking good ;)
-
Good looking stuff. Btw, is that 50.cal based on the one from stock BF2?
Also I have not noticed that you can close hatches on the sdkfz...I guess there still are new things to discover...
-
Nice update
Whas expecting the US halftrack eventualy.
-

Use your up and down arrow keys. ;)

Hanomag view slits, Jeep window and "ceiling", Kübelwagen window and I think Bedford back hatch?
Anyway, nice update. Not much left :)
-
Chips are a better snack but I like these M&M's regardless. ;)
-
Really nice stuff.
-
Rad is working on Operation Torch? I thought he was doing that Pacific stuff?
Pacific stuff was just sort of him playing around with it. It was donated from some other mod.
You know, once Normandy's done, not many vehicles and such would be needed to be modeled for Torch. The most might come from the maps and skins.
Hope the M3 machine gunner can duck...it looks a whole lot like one of those targets on a firing range if you get what I mean (and I mean easy to shoot).
-
Really nice update like all the little details on halftrack look like the bf1942 one but than with more extra's and better skin ofcourse. Also the mortar looks really nice. Thanks for the weekly updates again. And keep up the good work ;)
-
Looks good! Just when I thought you guys had covered everything equipment wise by now, I'm surprised once again. There's just so much shit to make isn't there?
-
Looks Purdy. The M3 Halftrack was one of the most important US vehicles I think we were missing.
-
Also, what purpose did the cylindrical contraption that's attached to the front of the halftrack serve?
I believe that was used to wrap chains/rope/wire around for various different tasks.
It's just a roller, to prevent the front of the halftrack digging in when traversing rough terrain. Alternatively a winch could be installed.
The M3A1 looks great (the M1 Mortar too), i hope it'll lead to an M5/M5A1 Halftrack for the Commonwealth and later Soviet forces.
-
I´ve got to check this update´s screens when I´m sober tomorrow, but I´m glad you released one.
-

And the most vexing thing is that the devs only show like 5% in the news.
No static has been displayed in the news for ages and we have like thousands of top notch ones floating ingame.

Aye I had given that some thought... *head explodes*

Ah, M3A1, great! :D

How about increasing the percentage. I would love to see some statics. :D
-
I think it's better to be blasted with statics at release date :)
-
Nice update. :)
-
Nice update. :)
totaly agree! Very nice update, the us halftruck is a symbol for the westfront imo, along with the LCVP ofc ;)
Ey guys can't we make a list of stuff that's left? Just to get the hang of what the mod lacks?
1. Mustang, right?
2. Are there Rangers yet?
3.
4.
5.
6.
etc
-
.... Just to get the hang of what the mod lacks?
What the mod lacks? LACKS?
Burn the heretic! Cleanse his impure words with fire!
-
He got a point.. This mod is lacking alot.
<sparks revolution>
-
Like what and how do you know? :P
-
Ok, the pics really look great! Once again alot of details have been put in and the M3 and the mortar look really nice! I can´t wait to use the .50 to shred through infantry (hopefully it´ll get a really nice sound) :D
In this update weren´t the things I expected, but it´s definately not deisappointing. And as N24 said, if the shown things are really only 5 % of what´s in-game the Normandy release will be a real blast! Keep up your good work!

Hope the last 95% of unshown stuff live not only in their heads, but in hard drives also.
-
wonderfull work
the quality is so nice, it makes me :'(
-
Like what and how do you know? :P
I'm just sparking a revolution, sir. Thats my job.

... And properly backed up. ;)
-
Revolution at the FH2 front!
-
I have a question for the dev. When the normandy will be release, I want to know if the mortar will have different type of round. Phosphorus or smoke round ?
-

Don't worry. We've learned that anything not in our SVN repository doesn't provably exist.:) And because we use SVN, we also have everything in it backed-up. :)
At this point, we have virtually all weapons, vehicles and player models we need for the next release in-game. It just needs polishing, bug fixing, testing, and a few more maps that are mandatory for a solid 'Normandy' release.
-
Just seeing the green US equipment feels refreshing. And praise all that is holy, it's the Browning M2. Sound is important for everything in a game, but a .50 machinegun just HAS to sound piss-inducingly powerful. I'm talking Ka-THOOM-THOOM-THOOM-THOOM.
-
Did someone say player models AND release in the same sentence? I think I'll just go and lie down for a while and digest this gem.
-
Toddel wrote on a german website that they wouldn't make it for 06.06.

My guess for next update: German or Us player models! ;D
-

Maybe a tactic, like the Germans got surprised on D-Day...
*runs away laughing maniacally*

lol I hope you're right.
-
Ts4EVER: "Toddel wrote on a german website that they wouldn't make it for 06.06."
I wrote this com and the quote was like that.
Toddel: "Zum 6.6 lasst uns doch erst mal den Patch abwarten und sehen was passiert."
But I believe it was a tip mistake of him and he meant this rather so or so similarly.
My Opinion: "Zum 6.6; lasst uns doch erst mal den Patch abwarten und sehen was passiert."
;)
-
Nope:
Den 6.6 werden wir nicht schaffen. Tut mir leid.
www.bf-games.net
-
But the important thing is:
He destroyed our dreams.
-
No 6.6. release? Damn...something just died inside of me...I need a beer... :-\
But I hope that atleast Darkest Hour will release it´s new patch on that date. Also, PR will release a new patch soon. Plus I´ll go to Hungary for a week, soon, so hopefully the pain that we won´t see a Normandy release on that important date will be a bit less.
-
ITS A TARP!

I second that.

Hehe I will laugh so hard if it becomes 'TAP TAP TAP TAP'.

Remember BF42?
BRING BRING BRING BRING BRING
The .30 cals were more badass that that.

It was a nice beefy sound before the Canadians ruined them.
MG42 also sounded like in SPR before they ruined it in the same patch.
-
I don't remember them changing it. When was that?
Slightly off-topic, but vBF2's .50cal sound is a massive improvement over anything previously.
-
I remeber the Vannile bf1942 .50CAL
pik pik pik pik pik
-

They changed the sounds to worse one's in patch 1.30. The MG42/browning sounds were just awesome before 1.3.

O my god i hate the bf42 50 cal sounds. That tink tink tink noise was terrible. It sounded like you were playing paintball or something.

I see that theres no update...
-
Have some patience, Slayer, it's only 21:40 (9:40 PM) for Lightning. He usually posts the update around midnight. So in 2 and a half hour.
-
Last week the update was on thursday, so that might be the case this week as well. And technically he still has 4 days to post it, as he said be back for another update next week.
-
4 days?aw, but i want it now :(
-
4 days?aw, but i want it now :(
Why the rush??? Anticipation is more fun ;)
My guess for this weeks update:
- GMC truck
- American command vehicule
8)
-
Enough with the American stuff already.

Nah, i have a feeling something German will be released
Perhaps a Stug IV?
hm, altough
Nah, i'm following on ur bets.Either the GMC truck
Or the M101 howitzer, as i dont recall seeing the Americans getting an artillery piece
-
they have the M1 mortar that was shown off last week.
-
Post that ruddy update already! Jeez...something´s wrong...fuckin hell...Herrgottsakrament! (not related to that update, just a general statement about life´s suckiness)
-

Well ye, but if the Germans have their Lefh18(Wich i dunno if they will be used in normandy?) The US better get their counterpart then ;)
-
I bet on British paratrooper
-
German/American playermodels I hope.
I think, GMC truck, re-skinned LeFH18, American plane, map or a firearm that surprises us since we didn't expected it.
-
GMC DUCKW and PzKpfw 739(f) (or for those who dont know what it is an captured Somua S-35 modified by the germans.) I hope :D
But I think some sort of american static defence like an at gun or a 105.
-
Well i hope they will include more diffrent artillery in the future
Both ligther as Heavier then the current standard 87/105MM caliber
-
Calm down people. No update today.
-
It's very tempting not to post the newsupdate I just finished...
