FH2: FORGOTTEN MAPS
Gentlemen,
as some might have noticed, most of the old custom maps for FH2 are broken since the last patch or unsupported due to python issues. I always wanted to keep some of the best maps alive for me and a few friends to play in coop mode. This time I went one step further and started fixing and overhauling some old maps. And I just wanted to share it, so here you go.
First of all: I don't own any of the maps and I didn't create any of these maps. I fixed them, updated them, improved some things and added navmeshes where they were needed. Credits for the original work go to the creators, which are listed below. Also credits to gavrant, who helped me a lot with this.
If anybody of the creators should object, I'll remove his work on request.
There are currently 3 packs to download, containing 8 Africa maps, 5 winter 44/45 maps, 6 France maps + one Netherland map. In order for the maps to work, you have to download the modbase files, containing several custom objects by the Forgotten Honor community.
All of these maps are to be played in COOP mode. Don't try Conquest or Singleplayer. Go to Local in the multiplayer menu, choose coop mode and start your server to play on.
I'd recommend playing all of these maps on a local dedicated server to get the best experience. I will list my preferred serversettings for this below each map. Check out DJ Barneys HABAI mod on the forums or on Moddb for more information on dedicated servers.

BEDA FOMM 1941
--- Quote from: Original description ---In late January 1941, the British learned that the Italians, fearing the British advance during Operation Compass were evacuating Cyrenaica by way of Beda Fomm. The British 7th Armoured Division was dispatched to intercept the Italian army. Halfway to their destination, it was evident that the entire division together was too slow so a 'flying column' was sent on a direct route across the desert. On 5 February 1941, they arrived at the town to cut off the retreating remnants of the Italian Tenth Army. The following day, the Italians arrived and attacked.

KASSERINE PASS
--- Quote from: Original description ---This is the first confrontation between the US and Axis forces in North Africa. The new and untested Allied troops must fight the battle-hardend Axis 10th, and 21st Armored Divisions . If the Allies fail to stop them, they could loose Tunisia.

Complete overhaul:
* crash/python stuff fixed
* improved sky and lighting/overall looks
* improved vehicle spawning, changed vehicle layout
* added new kits to the US side
* added push mode (32p layout)
* improved AI spawning and Commander behaviour

SIEGE OF TOBRUK NIGHT
--- Quote from: Original description ---During the Easter Battle of April 1941, Rommel's forces try to smash through the Tobruk defensive lines with a Blitzkreig style night attack. The Allied defenders, determined and freshly dug in (made up of predominantly Australian infantry with British artillery support) must try to hang on at all costs. The Tobruk garrison O.C. Major General Morshead has directed there will be NO SURRENDER! Short on mortars and with arms mainly consisting of infantry, small and medium AT guns and some armoured units based at the town itself, the gallant defenders know they are in for a bloody fight.
--- End quote ---
* crash/python stuff fixed
* improved lighting/overall looks, added different time and weather modes!
* changed vehicle layout
* added Italians to the Axis, now mixed team
* updated Allied kits
* added coop 32p layout: Sandstorm
* added coop 16p layout: Dusty Afternoon
Note: this will not overwrite the original Fh2 map or corrupt your game files. My version of the map will be shown as "Siege of Tobruk 1941" and exists parallel to the vanilla version.

MERSA MATRUH 1942
--- Quote ---Yes, this map already exists in the current version of FH2. Yes, theres also coop. But, at least for me, the 64p coop mode is severely bugged. Most of the Axis AI will instantly die on spawning. While I was not able to fix this, I simply applied the old pre-2.45 layout to it. I also added a foggy dusk version for all those who aren't fond of night maps.

EL AGHEILA
--- Quote from: Original description ---Following their destruction of the Italian Tenth Army in Operation Compass, the British Western Desert Force halted their advance at El Agheila in February 1941 so that units could be sent to assist in the defence of Greece. On February 14 the first units of the Afrika Korps started to arrive in Libya under General Erwin Rommel. Rommel starts his first offensive in North Africa by attacking the British forces near El Agheila...

SIDI MUFTAH
--- Quote from: Original description ---December 16th, 1941. After three days of bitter fighting, as the 8th Army relentlessly attacks the Gazala line, Rommel orders the Afrika Korps' withdrawal. Now, British troops are about to engage the Italian rearguard near Sidi Muftah who did not receive an withdrawal order and are ready to fight to the last round.

FORT CAPUZZO
--- Quote from: Original description ---On 26th of November, 15th Panzer Division bypassed Sidi Azeiz and headed for Bardia to resupply, arriving around midday. Meanwhile the remains of 21st Panzer Division attacked northwest from Halfaya towards Capuzzo and Bardia. The Italian Ariete Division who were approaching Bir Ghirba from the west, were ordered towards Fort Capuzzo to clear any opposition and link with 21st Panzer. They were to be supported by 15th Panzer's depleted 115th Infantry Regiment which was ordered to advance with some artillery southeast from Bardia towards Fort Capuzzo. The two battalions of 5th NZ Brigade positioned between Fort Capuzzo and Sollum Barracks were engaged by the converging elements of 15th and 21st Panzer at dusk on 26 November.

If you like this, make sure to check out my COOP Support Map Pack for the recently added FH 2.5 Eastern Front maps.
KNOWN BUGS: Not all maps are to be played with either side or the experience will be boring. Play as attacker when possible. At the point most of this was made, I was a non-experienced AI dev, I could create Navmeshes but I could not edit them, the Reichswald is the only exception because it was recently added. I could only do so much to make the AI work as intended. Maps have to be designed with that movement in the mind. Some of those are not. The bots will act stubborn and dumb very often. I tried my best to give you the best possible experience though.
NOTE: As pointed out, this should not break your game for MP. The maps will not overwrite anything.
I'm trying to provide support to this as much as possible. If you come across an issue, please notify me and I'll try to fix it.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
* gavrant, who answered all my questions in detail and made most of this possible
* All original creators of these maps, for providing us the awesome stuff
* Every single FH2 Dev, for bringing this mod alive and keeping the best mod of all times alive

ARGENTAN
--- Quote from: Original description ---After their defeat in Operations Lüttich and Totalize, the Germans have been driven back to the region around Falaise. Now the American XV Corps is moving on Argentan in an effort to link up with the Poles and Canadians at Chambois. The Germans however have deployed the 9th Panzer Division and the 2nd SS Panzer Division in and around Argentan to keep the gap open as long as possible. It now falls to the Americans to push the Germans out of the town and surrounding area...

CARENTAN
--- Quote from: Original description ---To complete the capture of Carentan, Gen. Courtney Hodges of First Army created a task force under Gen. Anthony McAuliffe to coordinate the final assault. The mission to take Hill 30 was reassigned to the 506th PIR, the attack along the Bassin ¨¤ Flot was renewed, and the 501st PIR was relieved of its defensive positions to circle behind the 327th GIR and approach Hill 30 from the east. The movements were covered by an all-night artillery bombardment of Carentan using naval gunfire, Corps artillery, 4.2-inch mortars, and tank destroyers that had joined the 327th GIR along the eastern canal.

LONGUES SUR MER
--- Quote from: Original description ---Situated west of Arromanches-les-Bains in Normandy, Longues-sur-Mer overlooked the ocean from the top of a 65 meters height cliff, a perfect position where the Germans had installed a four 150 mm guns battery. On 6 June 1944, at 5:30 am several allied battle ships opened fire on the battery. When the Allied Armada was on sight, the German heavy guns striked back. The HMS Ajax concentrated his fire on the German battery at one kilometre range. The battery stopped bombing a short time, but fire started again and the position shelled the Landing ships until 5 pm.The battery surrendered to the British troops the next day with the 184 men garrison.

ADVANCE ON FOY
--- Quote from: Original description ---On the evening of 15 December, the 26th Volksgrenadier established an outpost line on the west bank of the Our. The Germans attacked swiftly, their advances made possible by sheer weight of numbers. Worried about the threat to its left flank in Bastogne, the German army organized a major combined arms attack to seize Noville. By the time the 1st Battalion pulled out of Noville on the 20th, it had lost 13 officers and 199 enlisted men, out of about 600 troops.

OPERATION GREIF
--- Quote from: Original description ---Waffen-SS commando Otto Skorzeny had become one of Hitler's favorites following the success of "Operation Panzerfaust" in which he had supervised the kidnapping of Miklós Horthy, Jr., the son of Hungary's Regent. Skorzeny was to form a special brigade - Panzer Brigade 150 - for a very special purpose: "I want you to command a group of American and British troops and get them across the Meuse and seize one of the bridges. Not, my dear Skorzeny, real Americans or British. I want you to create special units wearing American and British uniforms. They will travel in captured Allied tanks. Think of the confusion you could cause! I envisage a whole string of false orders which will upset communications and attack morale.

OPERATION NORDWIND
--- Quote from: Original description ---Operation North Wind (Unternehmen Nordwind) was the last major German offensive of World War II on the Western Front. The objective was simple. The offensive was to break through the lines of the Allied Army in the Upper Vosges mountains and the Alsatian Plain, and destroy them. This would leave the way open for Operation Dentist (Unternehmen Zahnarzt), a planned major thrust into the rear of the U.S. 3rd Army. The U.S. VI Corps which bore the brunt of the German attacks was fighting on three sides by 15 January. With casualties mounting, and running severely short on reinforcements, tanks, ammunition, and supplies, Eisenhower, fearing the outright destruction of the U.S. 7th Army, rushed divisions hurriedly relieved from the Ardennes, southeast over 100 km, to reinforce the 7th Army.

ORSCHOLTZ SWITCH
--- Quote from: Original description ---As part of General Patton's Third United States Army, the 94th Infantry Division was known as 'Patton's Golden Nugget'. Moving east, the division relieved the 90th Infantry Division on 7 January 1945, taking positions in the Saar-Moselle Triangle south of Wasserbillig, facing the Siegfried Switch Line. Fresh for the fight, the 94th shifted to the offensive, 14 January, seizing Tettingen and Butzdorf that day. On the 20th, an unsuccessful battalion attack against Orscholz, eastern terminus of the switch position, resulted in loss of most of two companies. In early February, the division took Campholz Woods and seized Sinz.

REICHSWALD
--- Quote from: Original description ---Operation Veritable, also known as the Battle of the Reichswald, was the northern part of an Allied pincer movement that took place between 8 February and 11 March 1945 during the final stages of the Second World War. The objective of the operation was to clear German forces from the area between the Rhine and Maas rivers, east of the German/Dutch frontier, in the Rhineland.The Allied advance proceeded more slowly than expected and at greater cost. The delay had allowed German forces to be concentrated against the Anglo-Canadian advance and the local German commander, Alfred Schlemm acting against the assessments of his superiors, had strengthened the Siegfried Line defences and had fresh elite troops readily available to him.

Thats right, the maps will be there to choose in every available layout. If you download the exe you don't even have to copy anything it will install it right where the stuff belongs, if everything works as intended.
ksl94:
Thank you! I shall download that lovely map-pack right away. I truly appreciate your work and am looking forward to seeing the different times of day and weather versions. May I suggest a 64 Battle of Keren night layer? I do not think that the standard 32 layer does it justice with it's small size.
Moustapha:
Cool maps, would it be possible for the FH2 servers to add these into the map list?
