Forgotten Hope 2 (Release) Thread.

[Bluehawk]

You could always dolphin dive and spazz out like in BF42 and FH. I wasn't disappointed by FH2 at all, because I have very low expectations to begin with.

 

[Monkwarrior]

First impressions are ok for me.
It's faster, but the infantry maps are really good, enough detail, good scale and layout.
So far I'm having fun with it.

Even though it's just the first release the mod is exceptionally good in giving you sense that it's a WW2 game and not just BF2 reskinned. It does play quite similar to BF2 because the engine has it's limitations meaning you can't completely change it's structure for customized optimization. I much even prefer it over the Vanilla BF2 anyday. The only problems that I had with it was constant lag that sometimes ruined the gameplay for me

Gonna chime in with the rest of you and proclaim Sfakia the king of maps. Theres nothing like going over a crest with 4 of your buddies, killing jerries/tommies that pop up out of the grass.

but:

-I've also had a couple crashes, not too bad though considering.
-Still some gamey stuff, and the AT rifles don't do anything, they're more useful for killing infantry.

I'm looking forward to more Italy/Sicily/Crete maps. Anything that's more infantry concentrated is good in my eyes.

Oh and bring on paratroopers!!!

 

[Zips]

I might just have to dust off BF2 now. This looks interesting.

 

[Bluehawk]

The AT rifles do get kills, you just have to know where to land the hits.

Was expecting something cool and atleast a little semi realistic. What I played was BF2 with WW2 content.

 

[Rak]

Meh, I like it. FH1 wasn't

 

[JoshuaC]

What's with the horrible blur you get when you fire the Bren from the hip? Last time I fired a weapon from the hip my eye's didn't get one bit blurry.

 

[A-tree]

I thought it was awesome. Was, and still am, a big fan of FH1, and this is basically it with bells and whistles on. Cant wait till the fh tournaments switch to it.

Just another few rounds on some pretty good infantry maps (El Alamein and Escape from Mersa), quite a lot of teamwork going on and some very intense firefights on Mersa, but El Alamein is just like Karkand without any buildings, constant meatgrind.

Well it's hard to describe my feelings about FH2. It is a good mod and it is fun. BUT the bf2-engine takes away 50% of the fun. I just hate this engine. It feels so wrong. Imo they should form up and create their own game like kaos studios&frontlines.

 

[Trendkill]

In FH2 can you enter enemy tanks/vehicles? Because I'm thinking about reinstalling BF2 DLing it.

 

[Pvt.pile]

I didn't think you could at least i tried going in an enemy tank a few times and couldn't but just about an hour ago i could go in the British sas half truck. So i guess to answer your question i guess you cant go in enemy tanks.

 

[A-tree]

You can get in to enemy transport and AT guns, but not tanks and aircraft.

 

[Zoring]

It's a pretty fun game i have to say, its lumpy due to BF2 engine, but if you have BF2 re-install it and give it a try, you won't regret that at least.

 

[CatMangler]

I'm quite enjoying it. Only had 1 crash so far and I strangely get a great deal of satisfaction from shooting down those flying gay lords.

Took me awhile to work out the tank main gun sights

As said earlier, teamwork does happen. If you played project reality, then the teamwork will feel the same, ie. big groups running to objectives, and everyone staying together. The graphics and animations are also really good, especially the weapons and vehicles, compared to that "Battlegroup Frontlines" mod that came out a while ago. I'd say to anyone not sure about getting to do so.

I don't really want to enter the territory of "is it going to be better than Mare Nostrum", but I must say it does convey the atmosphere of the North African campaign very well, with dust, sounds and just general little details, such as birds flying out of trees when you shoot near them etc. Mare Nostrum (and RO in general) could get some good ideas from it.

To me, this mod combines cinematic type gameplay (as seen in COD) with realism and teamwork (like in RO), which is why I like it so much. Ro, even though pretty realistic, just doesn't contain enough atmosphere etc. to make me really immersed in it, where games like COD are just too arcadey. FH2 contains a mix, which imo is the perfect type of game.

That happens in standard BF2, so it isn't an innovation of FH2.
