Welcome back everyone for yet another exiting update from the Forgotten Hope Team! I've just updated the downloads section to make it easier for people to find the right files to install for 0.5F and added a bunch of high speed mirrors, if you aren't patched up yet or couldn't figure out the installation now's your chance.

And now onto the fun part of todays update, revealing some more progress!

First up is the completed Japanese pilot helmet for the new pilot class to be introduced in 0.6.

And speaking of the pilot class I think it's time to address some concerns we've been hearing from the fanbase and explain what exactly this means for all you fly boys out there. This pilot class does not mean that only people with the pilot kit can jump into an airplane, anybody can still jump into any vehicle they want to, this is one of the things that makes battlefield such a kick ass game, and we would never want to do that. What this does mean however is that parachutes have been disable on all kits except specialty kits. Pilot kits are placed near airplanes on the runways and on maps which require paradrops (such as Market Garden and Crete) you can spawn as a paratrooper class which gives you your standard equipment and a parachute to cause some airborne havoc! This feature of Forgotten Hope was introduced in order to kill one of those long hated tactics inherihent to the game, and that's using fighers and bombers for quick transport to capture points. This feature has been well tested by our in house team of Beta Testers and has been quite effective in producing a new dynammic to the mod.

Next up for today is the redone Panzerfaust 30 and Panzerfaust 100, two different single use anti-tank weapons used by the Germans throughout the war.

And last but definately not least is for all of you naval commanders out there. Today we reveal the finished German Schnellboote, done by Messiah and AceS, three skins for this beauty and you'll see it on many of our naval maps.

That's all for today, but be sure to stop on by later on in the week for more from the team. Discuss This News In The Forgotten Hope Public Forums

That's right folks, we're back again with some more good news. Today we finished fixing the mod after the Battlefield 1942 v1.6 patch. Not only that but this is a unified installation of Forgotten Hope! This patch fixes the scoreboard issue inherent to most mods due to the 1.6 patch and includes some other minor fixes. If you haven't had the chance to try out Forgotten Hope yet then now is the perfect opportunity to do so and get your input heard before we make the 0.6 release which is fast approaching.

These are the files that you need to get in order to run the mod:

forgottenhope05b_1of2_main.exe (mirrors)

forgottenhope05b_2of2_maps.exe(mirrors)

Forgotten_Hope_V05B_to_V05F_update.exe

forgottenhope_fan_maps_V1.exe (optional if you want to try out the fan made maps)

Here's the low down on the installation order, the other patches which you can find in the downloads section are no longer necessary and will be taken down shortly. All you need to do is get the 0.5b main file and the 0.5b map pack and install this latest patch and you're all set to go! If you already have 0.5e and would like your scoreboard back just install the patch over your current installtion, it's that easy.

Ok and now onto the mirrors for the Forgotten Hope V05B to 05F upgrade.

Well that's all for today ladies, but we'll be back again on friday for some more stunning updates. Be sure to stop by our public forums if you have any questions about the installtion at all here

As promised here I am again to enlighten you all about the fine world of Forgotten Hope. I'll start off just like last time with a couple short community type announcements.

The first thing of course is regarding the Battlefield v1.6 patch. So far it appears that the current version of the mod does indeed work under v1.6, although the scoreboard is not appearing ingame. So if you want to see your score you'll want to avoid installing the v1.6 patch. We'll inform you more as we find out more about the patch through testing and whether or not a hot fix will be necessary.

The second item of community news is another Forgotten Hope league. This time it's the Forgotten Hope Realism League, and you can find their site here, it's definately worth a look if you're interested in clan play. I've been informed that they have 4 clans running 8v8 matches at the moment, and are looking for more clans for their competitions, so don't be shy and check it out!

And now onto the part that you've all been waiting for these last few days, some more progress!

The first new item we have for you is the Wild Catfish. This is a seaplane varient of the Grumman Wildcat, completed by lobo and rad it's a grand addition to our seaplane force.

These next two renders tie into one of our new maps you'll see in 0.6, the new Stalingrad map which you saw in the video. If you didn't see the video with the new Stalingrad check it out here. These two new ships will ferry you to death, or to the motherlands victory comrades!

 





And finally we have eight ingame screenshots to display for you all. These shots show off the towable flak18 and also some of our new maps, including Arnhem, Stalingrad, and Carentan.

   

   

 

Well that's it again from the Forgotten Hope team, we'll keep you informed about the Battlefield v1.6 problems and see you again back here next week for some more progress on version 0.6!
