Forgotten Hope 2 Mod Update - Instruments of Darkness

[lsmaster]

Forgotten Hope 2 has update us today with a lot of new shots of a map they are working on as well as some renders. They also give information on a tournament they have started with their mini-mod.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Once again the Forgotten Hope Team would like to present some of the new assets we've been developing for the first release of Forgotten Hope 2! And for today's update we have broad range of new items for you to consider, a new vehicle, a new weapon and a new map!

But first we have some information that you may find interesting. To start with, we would like to announce that Forgotten Honor has a new tournament and custom FH minimod for your enjoyment.

Secondly, many people have expressed their dissatisfaction that we have not identified a release date for the first version of FH2. As we have said before, as soon as we had some confidence that we were getting close we would let you know. We intend to release Forgotten Hope 2 during the summer of 2007. It might be early summer or late summer, we can't be sure which yet. But we will make every effort to not release a playable version no later than that. This is not quite the same as a release date, of course but it is a time frame that we think can be met.

As a last item, we would like to invite talented modders interested in joining the Forgotten Hope 2 team to send applications to Lobo. We are particularly looking for coders amd skinners but will consider any talented people that are interested in helping out.

Now on to the new stuff. The first new item for your consideration is the Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf F. Originally a stopgap design to make up for the lack of sufficient numbers of Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs to meet the requirements of the growing Panzerwaffe, the Panzer IIs served in large numbers throughout the early campaigns in Poland, France and Russia. By the time the Ausf F first appeared, in 1941, the inadequacies of the Panzer II series were well known, and it had been relegated mainly to reconnaissance duties. The Panzer IIF was the last regular production model of the series, and featured heavier armor, as well as adjustments to the suspension and an improved commanders cupola. Forgotten Hope 2's Panzer IIF was modeled by Lude and skinned by AaronAsh and Toddel.


Next in line is one of the mainstays of the British infantry, the legendary Bren light machine gun. The Bren began its career as the Czechoslovakian ZB vz.26 LMG. Licensed by the British Armed forces in 1935 the design was modified to suit British requirements, and redesignated the "Bren" a contraction of Brno, the name of the town where it was first developed, and Enfield, the name of the British town where it was later manufactured. The Bren was tough, well made, and easily maintained. Despite being somewhat prone to jamming, if not kept very clean, it was one of the most highly regarded infantry weapons in the British arsenal. The Bren also frequently appeared mounted on vehicles. Forgotten Hope 2's Bren was modeled by Omni and McGibs skinned by McGibs.
