Here at Forgotten Hope we're always looking for ways to improve the reality and gameplay of the mod. That's why, as of the 2.2 release, we will be removing color from the mod to better portray 1944 Normandy as it would have been experienced by the Commonwealth, American and German forces fighting in the area.

News-reel footage from the era proves beyond reasonable doubt that World War 2 pre-dates the invention of color. Therefore, Forgotten Hope will become the world's first historically accurate portrayal of the war's monochromacity.

As you will appreciate this change requires re-texturing all our weapons, vehicles, statics and maps which will delay the release of 2.2. However we're sure you'll agree that the delay is well worth it to improve the historically accuracy of the mod!

For those of you who hadn't realised; this was of course our yearly April fools joke. Please stop posting sending us angry e-mails!

Hello and welcome back,

After a few sleepless nights, we are now finally done moving all our content from FileFront to our new host warumdarum.de. Before we say anything else though, we would like to give a warm 'Thank you' to our long time supporter and owner of our new host Flüstertüte and AndyGr42, without whom such a speedy transition would not have been possible. They have been a great help, not only with our website and developer forum, but also with our brand new public forum.

We would also like to thank FileFront, for the past 5 years our reliable host. It is a real shame such a great community has so suddenly disappeared, but some of the old forum staff is already working on a new forum. We will of course keep you up to date on these events as we learn more.

Last but not least, we also want to thank all those in the Forgotten Hope community who have offered to host our website and forums. We have received dozens of offers and we really appreciate that so many people would want help us out so quickly.

You can now find our website at: http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de

You can find our new forum here: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php

We hope you will enjoy our new forum and, as usual, feel free to join our IRC channel to discuss this announcement.

Hello everyone,

As of yesterday evening, the entire FileFront forum and consequently also our Forgotten Hope forum were taken offline permanently, without warning. Due to the current economic recession, Ziff Davis, the owner of FileFront, has decided to indefinitely suspend all of FileFront and related sites. Unfortunately, this also includes bf1942files.com, on which the Forgotten Hope website is hosted. Whereas the forum is already gone, FileFront users are given until March 30th to download any files they may have hosted on the site.

This means that as of March 30th this website will go down. We are currently in the process of finding a new place for our website and forums, but until then we have created a blog, which you can find here. We will continue to keep you posted on the development of Forgotten Hope 2 on our new blog until we find a new place for our website.

If you have any questions, please visit our IRC channel and we will try our best to answer them. Please note though, that none of us was informed about this decision and we were not aware what happened until earlier this evening.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have an advertisement for the new Forgotten Honor Campaign, which starts today!

After months of preparation Forgotten Honor is ready to present to you a new theatre: Italy.

Over the last 3 months our team of almost two dozen mappers, moddelers and graphic artists have worked on this campaign so that every single map will have that unique Italian feeling. There will be no reused old maps with a few minor changes. Each map has been made from scratch using actual battle plans and geographical data from the period.

Every week until the campaign ends we will release a new map and each Friday a 64 player battle will take place. Players will be divided in two teams, with a command structure based on actual World War II units. No previous experience is needed and everything is completely free. Just click on the picture below, join and enjoy Forgotten Hope 2 on an organized level.

• Brand new, unseen maps, following a historically accurate storyline that will recreate in depth the Battle for Italy. From the beaches of Sicily to the fall of Rome.
