Hi!
I know most of you are probably looking forward to the Russian front quite a bit, making the long wait a lot harder. Some of you might even ask yourself: What is taking them so long? Well, to tell you the truth, the Eastern Front is the biggest content update since Normandy was added in Forgotten Hope 2.2 all those years ago. A patch like this involves new maps, new vehicles that need to be modded and coded, new hand weapons that need to be animated, new sounds that need to be created and all of this stuff needs to be tested. All this needs to be achieved with a team that is quite a bit smaller than in the past.
And no matter how hard you work, sometimes real life simply kicks you in the balls and you have to take a leave of absence. As you can see from this thread, Knoffhoff was very enthusiastic about this map, but he had to stop working on it.
Luckily, sometimes when God closes a window, he opens a can of beer (or however that saying goes). Fuchswiesel recently came back after a long pause and now that Sammatus is finished, he is working hard to bring this iconic map into FH2 after all. I mean we can't very well leave it out, if you think about it.
So I thought I would lift all your spirits by showing some (still heavily WIP and subject to change) screenshots from the latest beta version of Prokhorovka, including some new equipment you might not have seen ingame yet.
Enjoy!
So now all that is left is praying to the God of Real Life for mercy I guess...
