Man that trailer was good! I think It's time to come back to FH2 :D.
-
Of course it is! 2.50 will be a blast! ;D
-
Awesome job with the trailer Hawk2k9
Well done dude. ;)
I just hope the devs will make FH2 standalone / Free2Play like Project Reality did. That would mean an exponential growth in daily player base.
In my opinion that is the only thing that will bring life to the mod again + with the new 4 russian maps it would be the best marketing move to be done.
Hundreds of new players would install FH2 just because of that.
Just a thought to the developers.
;)

Remember you can still view the stream at any time: :)

It's OK.
-
THE HYPE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ;D ;D ;D
YES seriously make this mod free to play with 2.50. PR did it months ago, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR YOU GUYS TO NOT DO IT.
-
Nice! Seelow looks like a lot of fun!
-
Very cool stuff indeed, i'm dying to try this.
-
Awesome stuff on yesterday's stream, thank you developers!
-
Looks like great stuff, can't wait to see it in game! I'm glad my first post can be about the Eastern Front announcement :) Thanks to all the devs for their hard work!

I still need to say
When I saw stupid german face and not beautiful new finish playermodel, it was pretty depresing. I know you have lot of job and RL but you could only atleast changed face-not make model from scratch. Now dont tell me (Jan) "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS EVEN TO DO THAT???? >:( >:( " ,tell me why finish playermodel wasnt necessary for you,why you made only uniforms because German Hulk looks shit and with finnish uniform even more shitter...

Reading this I am a bit shocked tbh. The patch with propably the biggest content update, many many bugfixes and alot of other important stuff is not even released yet and people start complaining about game changing details like face textures ::)
What about waiting for it to be released ... atleast we changed the helmet wich is a bit more work. Sorry that we went the cheap way. :-X
-
Finnish models are what they are because necessary shortcuts in order to have anything at all. German models works just fine when they went through a reskinning process and received some finnish-specific gear such as Suomi drums, field caps and helmets. There wasnt much else to do with them.
Why faces werent changed? Well because it wasnt really necessary. Yes, it would have been extremely nice to have new faces but we dont have artists to make new faces.
-
Sounds really unnecessary to change face models...unless you change them to use this one lol :

-
Im almost peeing like a happy puppy. Cant wait to check out that beautiful big building in Seelow :)
-
I'm totally cool with the Finnish playermodel but is the pot helmet the only helmet the Finns get? After all the Finns had this another helmet that looked like the German helmet but was slightly different and was in more common use. Maybe it's there but wasn't shown during the stream?
And maybe the Finnish forces will have Lahti L-35 and Sotka (captured T-34) in the upcoming patches if there will be more maps featuring the Finns with armor?
-
Finns will have a good amount of helmets, I created two of them. :)
-
And yes, Finns also get the Stahlhelm (the german helmet) style helmets. That was answered in the stream as I asked about it.
-
I am very excited! What is the Russian music? By the Red Army Choir?
-
The sacred war.

Sorry,I didnt want to complain,just I was waiting all the time fins so I asked. Still I cant even wait for it to release!

Splendid Job guys!

Please devs, take a look at my last post in this thread:

While you're at it make it like this:

;D
-
As long as theres still life in me, that will not happen unless there will be a map about that unit. So that's that.
-
The sacred war.
Thank you!
-
Why was the scout kit nerfed? Only one mine now? :( And no more sticking to walls? That was part of the fun, in real life soldiers made traps, can't do that in FH2 so that was as close as you could get.
-
That was part of the fun
Yeah, for the guy who placed them, maybe. But locking off entire flagszones by putting some mines wasn't so much fun, so that's one of the reasons. It's also very unrealistic to place a mine which should be buried irl vertically on a wall.
-
great, thanks for taking my fun out of the game..... now all i can do is call in arty spots and be cannon fodder!
-
Hi all
great update , a big suprise for east maps ;D
just a question : when can we see seelow map in map section of forum ?
with details :D
A+
-
When will the stream be available on YouTube?
-

Don't be so modest, you are better than that.
-

it's still there, you can still plant one AP mine (and refill on ammo box), so devs took just half of your fun.

There will be a separate news update about it later, with minimap and all the screenshots as usual. Be patient! ;)
-
Seelow Heights map is based upon the late stage of the battle?
If not, one Stuka or Tiger I wouldn't hurt... erhm, just to hear/see that KwK 36's 88 deflect from the IS-2's frontal armour... would be "fun".
-
Partly the reason why we set the ap mines to just "1" was because they were getting extremely spammy.
-
That was hillarious!!!!
I didnt read the text or watch the stream(yet) and then suddenly russian voice!!!?!?!
Haha! Wonderful update!
In my head the east front was 1 year away? Wow!!
And i havent yet read about the fixes.
Tap yourself on the back devs!! You guys lighted up my dark swedish winter!!!
-
Thanks for removing some mines and fixing them btw. :)
Scout kit was a pain in the ass.
-
Mixed emotions, the map and vehicle continues to be great and the "gameplay tweaks" continues to piss me, as it were the case since 2.45.
Yet on another thought, why should I bother. Those Thursday night where I blew people up with smines on WAW servers are long gone any way...

-
Relax guys, it's not like we removed the mine kit totally.
-
I knew there'd be mixed emotions about the AP mines ;)
It's not nerfed in any way imo. Just less spammy now. Now every town in France isn't littered with un-exploded ordinance.
Give it time.
-
Personally I'm happy about the s-mine changes. They're incredibly glitchy and dying by intentionally running through them because they're on stairways where there's no other viable option gets old pretty fast. They're completely broken on the king of the hill maps in particular.
I thought they were best back in the days without indicators, since people actually used them realistically (namely not in high traffic areas where allies were likely to step on them).

uil8ii damn you! ;)

hi, i'm new here. ;D
two questions:
is the reduction to one ap mine in scout kit performed in every corresponding map or in the upcoming maps only? did someone check the fixes (we've heard of) regarding missing mine icons in 3D map so far?
-
What will be the total number of s-mines, you can deploy? Will this be kept at 3?
-

Yes, that's correct.

Hi Yehiel, welcome to the forum!
1) There will be one mine in the scout kit (sniper too) including all maps.
2) Don't quote me on this, but I think Gavrant fixed the disappearing 3d mine icon. :) Gavrant can you confirm this?
-

Yes. Only the ammount you originaly have is reduced.
-
Looking at all that stuff in the FH2 teaser, I'd better start digging out the old Boot Camp map and rework it for the next version...
-
Hey,in trailer there is Guy on Panzer4 with binocolurs spoting -is that new feature,is that already ingame and I dont know about it,or is that only made for trailers and videos???
-
Yeah... you can do that since a very long time ago...
-
And thank God for the mine nerfing
-
Yeah... you can do that since a very long time ago...
What key is for take your binos out?
-
6th slot in every recon and NCO kit IIRC ::)
-
Missed the stream? Hate watching stuff on Twitch? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
The stream is now finally available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Zp8cgc6V4bg
-

What the key to take your binos out WHEN YOU DRIVE TANK??? Thats what I asked,dont you see in trailer that guy DRIVING pnz4 uses his binos?I dont know for that feature..
-

The soldier in the cupola is not the one driving the tank, he's a passenger who is probably a recon or NCO with binoculars.
-
Are you sure?AFAIK there isnt that seat in pnz4....

What makes you think it has to be a different key when you drive a tank? It's a 6th weapon slot as I said, so by default it gonna be "6" key. If you don't have binocs in your kit, you can't use them - it's not a tank feature, it's just a passenger seat in commanders cuppola, which is open in some tanks, like Panzer IV seen in the teaser. That guy is not the driver. Now please, stop making fool of yourself, and read answers to your questions before you will go apeshit again.
-
Sorry,you answer short and you think I dont know for "binos are 6"?? I didnt saw this anywere.Flippy just said that is long time there and pizza said probably.OK?? ? ?? ?

Splendid indeed. I even found a related period of ww2 history that I never knew about due to this - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Soviet_invasion_of_Iran

Wow,didnt know at all about this.

Nice trailer...got some of the old FH2 juices flowing.

Liking this, will come back for the party if this was made standalone.

Until then, use this! ;)

"Mods to download" - why there's no FH2? ???

for the same reason there is no PR, Alpha Project and dozens of other mods.

Funny how everybody assumed that FH2 will become standalone (because PR did?) when devs never gave us any official statement on this subject. There are of course some hints if you dig deep enough, but those are more suitable for conspiracy thread than anything else. As Roughbeak said: to play FH2 you can get BF2 for free from battlelog.co (http://battlelog.co/downloads.php), what combined with FH2 Launcher makes FH2 a "semi" standalone mod for now ;)
-
Battlelog is all fine and dandy but I know I would personally have difficult time to convince people I know to try FH2 out since it takes two major downloads and more things to make sure they run as intended. If it was just one download and one install, that'd be a whole other story. People these days dont have the patience to go through the trouble unfortunately.

That's obvious, but battlelog is all we can use for now. It still makes it much easier than buying BF2, updating it to 1.41 and then to 1.5 before even installing the mod. The old way required 4 downloands: BF2, 2 patches (one of them was 1,5GB big) and FH2. Add to that shitloads of time needed for all the installs (I remember installing those patches took ages) not to mention all the mistakes people made in the process what forced them to reinstall whole thing and start from the scratch all over again. Battlelog already helped to bring new players to FH2 :)
-
In this case, it would be very nice if we could have a fancy launcher that takes care of all the process with one browser download and one click. But that battle log do look convenient enough for me.
-
I guess everyone already thinks that FH2 would become standalone without the devs saying anything because there is absolutely not a single reason not to do it.

I wish it was that simple, but unfortunately it's not. I only hope devs will eventually overcome all the obstacles on their way to release a standalone or at least give the community an official statement on this subject.

Agree
Install BF2 & FH2 with One Click
Maybe It Could be done easily with "AutoIt" ?

Since someone already brought up the Japanese, might there be another surprise in store for us that takes place in the Pacific?

I think ,until devs give offical statement, talks about FH2 go standalone and how did PR did it will be always mentioned and active topic...

Is Forgotten Hope 2.50 going to be standalone or will it still require Battlefield 2 to run?
-
Ah cool! Might come back for some games. Battle communication killed the game for me back then. Do tanks go down with one penetrating hit at any distance again?
-

No, they don't always go down with one penetrating hit at any distance, but on most occassions they do (it depends on caliber though). If you're talking about 2.45 battle communication, then it's gone for long time now, but it's not 1s1k all the time either. When was the last time you played FH2? ;)
-
Also, FH2 never worked like that, not even back in 2.0.

Must have been in 2.45 times. I left for good when Shermans withstood Panther and Pak shots back in 2013, I think. Will give it a go again.
-
Sooooo when is the release coming ? Before Christmas I hope ?
I know it's probably a lot of work but it's hard to wait.
-
Fantastic trailer. Looking forward to the release very much. 8)
Does anyone know what is the name of the music theme in the first part of the video? Many thanks.
-
Yeah, it's the main theme of "Where Eagles Dare"

I knew it was a movie theme but could not remember which one.
