Will there be a Tom Hanks playermodel?

*Facepalm... *


Oh, the humanity!

Tbh, If somehow the Brit face could go on the american model, i.e our favorite Brit model, with dark hair, no moustache... we could get something close... but how many Hanks do you want? How many squads are there.. for one map?!

Because it's an interesting scenario for one.

And you couldnt find anything even remotely similar to it from IRL battles. Ffffffu...

helmet insignia has been customized for this map ;)
so yeah there will be squad leader tom hanks running around.

and for why didnt they made caen etc.
the mapping progress/process in FH2 is a bit "strange". simply put a mapper decides that he wants to do this or that map and starts with it.
if he needs special statics, models equipment etc he asks the devs that  can do that.

since for this map most stuff was already there only the mapper did need to put much work into it so the development progress of other stuff wasnt hampered that much.
as the project progresses most devs started to really liked this map and started adding more custom stuff, like textures for tiger/marder, desaturated player models , some nice effects etc etc. everybody chips in.

also "easy" for this map was that the general map layout was already set. urban combat focused around taking/defending "a bridge". one team with heavy weapon support while the other has the terrain advantage.
after testing most "faults" in the map were rather quickly discovered and  "fixed".

generally the progress this map made over time was rather fast and people had fun making it.
sure there are some stubborn people, but haters gonna hate ^^


cant wait to play this map in public and see if i can exploit my tomb-raider-sneaky-ninja positions in public too.

If you don't like it - by all means, don't play it. It's your loss.

And Forgotten Hope cannot be defined so easily as to say that it is a 'historical accuracy mod'. It's whatever the developers feel like it should be - and that changes all the time. Just know that there isn't a single developer who has had any complaints about Ramelle being made.

I'm not digging the lack of realism (like many), but I'll just have to deal 'cause this looks like so much fun. :D
How about the riflemen have in their 'pistol' slot a throw-able helmet for those... sticky situations. ;D
(Kidding about the helmet)

Infact, I dont lose anything if I skip it, which is more than likely.

It would be a nice easter-egg though.

Too much of an exploit for my taste.. even if it were possible.. sure will be nice to HAVE seen as an Easter Egg... m1carbine, 1 throwable helmet with very little damage  ::), no helmet on the user's head, pistol as secondary weapon.


Love the idea of the timed-planes more and more, sure beats a called-in airstrike... that would have given people more to hate... this one is actually true to history the movie the source
