Forgotten Hope

Forgotten Hope is a computer game mod for the first-person shooter Battlefield 1942. It features expanded World War II-related content and more realistic gameplay balance. A version of Forgotten Hope has also been developed for Battlefield 2. It features roughly 260 totally new vehicles as well as 50 new maps. A mod called Pacific Shores merged with Forgotten Hope, bringing a host of extra World War 2 Pacific theatre content.

Though Forgotten Hope is a mod, mods of the game have been created. Norwegian Resistance, for example, is a partial conversion and content addition which adds the battles during in World War II 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 versions added some custom maps as well. One key feature is that it adds more historically correct skins, such as swastikas on equipment and uniforms.

Further add-ons include a sound and texture pack, which replaces large numbers of vehicle and soldier skins and equipment/weaponry sounds, as well as an unofficial, fan-made map pack consisting of several additional maps.

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-made map packs released as well. Right now the majority of efforts are concentrated on developing Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2, basing it during World War II, and, as of the first release, will be set only in the North African theater of operations, to ease the development process. The other fronts of the war will be added in later versions.

Norwegian Resistance

Norwegian Resistance is a mini-mod for Forgotten Hope, and depicts the battles in Norway in World War II after the invasion by Nazi Germany. The mod was developed by Slappy Entertainment, the development team responsible for the modification. The mod was first released in March 2005, as Version .85, and required Forgotten Hope V.67 and Battlefield 1942 V1.61. Soon after a version .86 hotfix was released, correcting issues with the NR mod, but did not affect the FH mod. Norwegian Resistance had been in development for over a year, and it was featured in a Norwegian gaming magazine, Hjemmepc, early in its development in December of 2003. The development team has also released some custom maps.

The description of the mod on the official website runs, "This modification is based on the bitter fighting and events which happened in Norway during the second world war. All of our maps are based on the battles which were fought in Norway by the British, the Norwegians and the Germans. Historically speaking Norway was about to be an important part of Hitler's Third Reich in the spring of 1940. The Germans were planning a massive invasion of Norway. The plan was to invade the country from its major cities and then proceed to capture the north. Norway was a country of great importance, its strategical position for attacking the convoys and the Russian border made it one of Hitler's prime targets. If the German troops could occupy Norway, they would gain a much greater chance of stopping the allied convoys who supplied England and Russia throughout the war..."[1]

Some of the maps include Asenfjorden, Battle at Dombas, Battle of Kvam, Fornebu in Flames, Operation Gunnerside, Ulsnes. The mod also included a number of unique features including a Norwegian language voice menu, custom music, and a variety of period equipment used by Norwegians.

Hungarian Front

Hungarian Front is a mini-mod for Forgotten Hope, and depicts the Hungarian battles in World War II.

Some of the maps include Debrecen, Transcarpathia, Don River and Budapest. The mod also included a number of unique features including a Hungarian language voice menu, and a big variety of period equipment used by the Hungarian army, including Turan and Toldi tanks, 43M submachinegun, Nimrod self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the 44M, which was a Hungarian version of the German Panzerschreck.
