Forgotten Hope 2, the Great Crusade
Posted on 2008-02-28 00:00 by Martin
The great crusade as the title implies is related to the famous message from president Dwight D. Eisenhower. So it stands to say this title is a big hint towards the next theater of war for Forgotten Hope 2.
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers in arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man to man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower
Order of the Day
June 6, 1944
For those of you who are tired of all the dust and continuously brushing of the sand from your uniforms, equipment, vehicles and everything else it can get into. This new theater of war on the western front of Europe might be a welcome change of scenery. Be aware that the machines of war have also become more efficient killing machines as the war progresses. So it might not be a good change, when it concerns your very survival!
Let's hope we can go and drive the Panthers of war very soon. I do have to confess that I haven't been playing FH2 after 2 weeks from the initial release. I just haven't been able to get BF2 (the game the mod runs on) to run properly. It kept crashing my entire pc with a hard soundloop crash only able to recover with a hard reset. This happened about 20 minutes into the game, each and every time (only in mutliplayer). However to get my weekly fix of WW2 fps, I did play FH2's bigger brother Forgotten Hope. Its just to bad that most servers except 2 or 3 populated servers, are gone.
