Forgotten Hope News Update: 29th April 2009: Purple Heart Lane

[Lightning]

Purple Heart Lane

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we have a bunch of screenshots from the map 'Purple Heart Lane', by Natty Wallo. This map is based on the 0.7 map pack map 'The Road to Carentan - 1944', which was made by Pvt. Allen. The map portrays the advance of the US 101st Airborne Division over the Carentan Causeway. This causeway was nicknamed the 'purple heart lane', because so many men were shot on it. (The purple heart is a medal awarded to US soldiers who are wounded or killed by the enemy.)

Great map.

Awesome work Natty!

You know Natty, 6th FJR probably looted a lot of shiney Beretta smgs from the Italians... smgs that are already in the mod... that could be placed as, say, a pick up kit....

I'm too afraid to comment.

so this takes place way before the major battle of Carentan?

Nice Update! Good to see another Normandy map!

[VonMudra]

No, on the way to it.  The thing I don't get is....why is there only one screenshot, that I see anyways, of what looks like the causeway?  Other then that, its just some villages, and a couple shots of the end of the causeway with the Belgian gate o_O

minimap please?

[Alakazou]

nice map

[azreal]

Woah...didn't even realize it was Wed. again. Oh well, Natty's map is really good, I think once you guys place it you'll be very impressed

[VonMudra]

minimap please?

Yeah, agreed, I'd like to see that as well...

[Kurb King]

Nice looking map, I see a number of familiar landmarks I remember for the FH1 map.  The night setting looks interesting, bet it will make it easier for the allies to advance than it was in FH1.

Looks awesome. Will the minimap be up when it is officially put on the maps section of the website? And awesome again on the "check back next week". Is this the same sky(box) as gazala?

I'm getting a heavy Brothers in Arms vibe from that map. Now just from the similar setting, but it LOOKS like the first BiA game to boot.

[General_Henry]

that FH1 map was always a massacre for US, they only hope is grenade spam to break the first line. (i have barely been killed by rifle shots on the map in FH1)

i think the smoke grenades are gonna change this
