The complete and utter history of the mod we all love???

Danger X:
So, how did this great thing called Forgotten hope start?

I am very curious, since there doesn't seem to be any biography anywhere.

Cheers,

Danger

NoCoolOnesLeft:
Forgotten Hope was originally only going to be the opening year(s) of WWII when things for the Allies weren't going all too well. Hence 'Forgotten Hope'.

0.5c released. Horrible mess...but bloody good fun. First round I played was the old (old, old, old old...) Crete. The day I became a convert.

Shortly after (I think) Forgotten Hope merges with a BF1942 mod based on the Pacific Theater, as well as support from Merciless Creations.

0.6 released after many months of waiting. Massive amount of downloads, many servers under heavy load. Totally different game from 0.5.

Between then and 0.7, various updates improving the mod. Deployable flak guns, flying saucers, tractors and Barbie King Tigers. You know. The norm.

Somewhere along the line there was a bit of drama with Merciless Creations demanding models or something baffling...and then a massive content withdrawal.

All the rest is fairly recent news.

508th PIR Hawkeye:
Could u add FH's history untill present for new community members?

Safe-Keeper:
If a couple devs could sit down for a fireplace tale or two on the mod's history, that'd be really nice.

Grandpa, tell us a story!

Cpl. Mallard:
Ok Hawkeye, between where cool ones left off until present was....

 I think im right, feel free to correct me.

 Official FH Mappack... included night levels with an early german night vision sight, reconfigured, more accurately mapped Midway Island, some map that the tankers wouldnt shut up about because there was an IS2 and King Tiger and they could have a "fair" duel (idiots), a neat map featuring an ISU-152 (for some reason the devs made the IS2 about the size of a Sherman, although in real life its as wide and long as a King Tiger!), and some terrible snowy russian map.

 That, I BELIEVE, was the last edition to FH42. And now is FH2. No history to FH2 except for a patch, its still in it's infancy. But as for FH42, it's like an old man in a nursing home that nobody visits, like a ghosttown. It's a beautiful mod yet no one plays it anymore...
