	Games - Forgotten Hope

Forgotten Hope is a computer game "mod" for the first-person shooter Battlefield 1942 that features expanded World War II content and more realistic gameplay balance. It is currently being developed for Battlefield 2 as well. It features roughly 260+ totally new vehicles as well as 50+ new maps. A mod called Pacific Shores merged with FH bringing a host of more WW2 Pacific theatre content. A constant refrain amongst players of FH is that it is the game BF1942 should have been all along.

Forgotten Hope has had some mods that have modded it as well. One is a partial conversion and content addition, Norwegian Resistance which adds the battles during in WW2 that deal with Norway. Another major mod is a client-side, Forgotten Hope Realism Mod that is primarily a sound and texture pack though later version added some custom maps as well. One key feature is that the skins add more historically correct skins, such as swastikas on equipment and uniforms. A third modder using the name Legion has paralleled the development of Forgotten Hope since v.6 with the "Ballistik" series, mods that improve the artificial intelligence in Singleplayer and Cooperative Multiplayer gameplay modes and which later incorporated historically accurate sounds and textures in much the same way that the Forgotten Hope Realism Mod did.

The current version of the mod for Battlefield 1942 is 0.70, which was released at the end of October in 2005. The developers have said this is the last major release for this engine, though another smaller patch was not ruled out. As with older versions, there will also be a number of fan-map packs released as well. Right now the majority of efforts are concentrated on developing FH2 for the new Battlefield 2, changing the game from Modern Warfare to WWII Warfare.

There is also a mini-mod for making movies (see machinima), released by Battlefield NL called BFNL Forgotten Hope Movie Edition.
