Hello, and welcome to the BitTorrent pre-release of the Forgotten Hope Fan Mappack #6 for Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942™. The file you download with bit torrent will have a password, that will not be revealed until the main release, which is currently scheduled for 1800 GMT on May 19th. The file is "only" 508.726 KB but it won't do you any harm to get started early! Be patient though!, torrents take a while to pick up speed!

Forgotten Hope Fan Mappack #6 BitTorrent File

For those of you who are not already aware, it BitTorrent is a peer-to peer distribution tool that allows many people to download from each other simultaneously. This means the more people that are connected the faster the potential download speeds. If you are interested, you can read more about it here.

If you do not have a BitTorrent client, or have difficulty connecting, you might want to try Azureus, which is relatively easy to get started with, and has some interesting features. You can get Azureus here.

At this point we would like to thank Warumdarum and Winboard.org for seeding the file. And of course, we would like to thank all the Mappers and Betatesters as well for the excellent job and hard work they did to make the Map Pack possible.

That's all for today, but be sure to keep watch for more goodies in the next few days. Until then, feel free to visit our public forums to discuss this update or complain about how long it is taking.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Time to show off some progress made at the development of Forgotten Hope 2. And furthermore, we have additional news for you on the latest Fan Mappack. But let's first start with the FH2 goodies...

Last week we already introduced the 20 mm Flugabwehrkanone 38. The wait for getting it ingame was relatively short this time around. So today we are proud to present the first ingame shots of the most common, light anti-aircraft gun of the German armed forces. The Flak 38 was modelled and skinned by jodonnell.

   

Our last Forgotten Hope 2 images for this update, are showing a trench. As we promised a few weeks ago, more emplacements were to come. And today we have an Italian, fortified trench for you. This should be very welcomed by all infantry men as it provides cover which often seems to be missing in the vast, barren desert. The trench was created by Lobo and the wall texture is made by Hush from the BF1936 modification.

   

So much for the news on Forgotten Hope 2. You might want to join us on IRC and our public forums. And we really recommened that everyone read on to get the latest information on the upcoming Forgotten Hope Fan Mappack. You won't need any other reason to play Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942™ again.

And now it is finally the time for settling things. Many of you can't wait to get your hands on the final version of the latest Forgotten Hope Fan Mappack, for Forgotten Hope, for Battlefield 1942™. Our betatesters and the mappers have worked very hard and have done an excellent job. The final testing yesterday came up only with a few minor problems. For that reason, we are very confident that our current schedule will stay unchanged. What does that mean for you? We have settled on a release date for the latest version of the Forgotten Hope Fan Mappack!
