Welcome back everyone for another exiting update from the Forgotten Hope Mod team!

Despite our internal forum troubles slowing us down a bit we'd like to give out the release date for v0.6 of the Forgotten Hope Beta. The date is this Saturday March 6th!
A few things about the release, there will be two files you need to download, as with last time. This is not going to be a patch for any previous release, as so much has been implemented it will be a complete install.
First the main file, there will be two options for this file.

Forgotten Hope 0.6 Censored: This version features censored textures to make our mod compliant with German law. Thus it removes swastikas and other Nazi linked images from all textures used in the mod. It will be fully compatible with the uncensored version.

Forgotten Hope 0.6 Uncensored: This version contains all of those textures that are removed due to German Law

You choose one of those files to download based on your taste or law code, then the next file you'll need is the Map install, which will carry Forgotten Hopes large list of Custom Maps. The dedicated server file for this release should be out sometime on Friday March 5th so servers can get set up for the release as soon as possible!

For sure everyone is welcome to back up the download to DVD! Here's a look at the cover art for that release to beautify your CD/DVD shelf.

And the last bit of news for today is that Forgotten Hope 0.6 will be features on German television. Between 22:00 and 00:00 hours German time, AceS, Towbee, and Flüstertüte will be showing off 0.6 on Monday March 1st. So if you can tune into Giga Games be sure to do so tomorrow for a sneak preview of 0.6!

That's right, this is the end of the road to 0.6 series of updates. The reason? Because within the next 4-10 days we will be posting a release date for Forgotten Hope 0.6. We're currently awaiting the upload of the current internal to the play server, then we have to make sure that's all set. The only thing that would push us to the end of those 4-10 days is the fact that our compiler has had to take time off. We pondered waiting the 3 weeks until he returned to release but decided that we want to get this out as soon as possible, so we're going to cover for him and get this sucker out to you very very soon.

And now onto some hard core ingame screen shots

The first set of 9 shots comes from Gold Beach, which was one of the British sectors during Operation Overloard, one of our featured custom maps for 0.6

   

   

   

The second shot of 9 shots we have comes from the redone Crete map, this was featured in 0.5 but has been overworked to a great degree, thanks to all the fans who gave their input on this map, it's you guys who gave me the inspiration to do some more great things with it.

   

   

   

And back by popular demand, the tractor is now INGAME! Some of you guys saw these shots in our message boards, but we'd like to spread the joy.

 

 

That's it for this week everyone, but keep an eye out this week or early next week for the official release date announcement. One week after that announcement the mod will be released on E-Donkey and tons of other mirrors as well. Discuss This News In The Forgotten Hope Public Forums

It's that time again folks! First we'd like to inform you a bit about the progress of 0.6, currently we're working with version 0.58 internally which means were very close to a release. We're having some stability issues and some other bugs to work out, plus polishing off some things to do. We're currently in the process of debating possible release dates so once we have something solid we'll let you all know, so be sure to check back soonish, it's not going to be much longer till you have your hands on this sweet version of Forgotten Hope!

And now for some more progress renders.

First up is the reskinned Sdkfz222 mobile anti-aircraft truck with three different skins done by AceS and Toxikneedle.

Also a new toy for the Japense forces, the 25mm dual barreled anti aircraft cannon you'll see on the Pacific maps, useful for taking down those pesky american bombers.

Rad's been busy this past week, unveiling two new projects for use in 0.6. First up are wrecks of African buildings for some nice ambience on those maps.

And finally a neat vehicle you'll be seeing on any map that has a farm on it, the McCormick Deering tractors, these should be a lot of fun to steal and transport yourself to the combat zone.
