Thx for helping em Ts4EVER. But I have a few questions.

1: Why aren't there medics or snipers?

2: Where are the weapons usually hidden. I only found out there were hidden weapons when I spawned in a bell tower and saw a sniper tucked in the corner :P

3: Whats the point of a minesweeper if you can see the mine?

4: What are some small maps b/c I don't want to have to keep running for like 2 min just to get shot and wait 20 sec :(

5: Where is the crosshair on the screen? Also where is the icon the shows you where the flag is? I got lost for a while :P

6: In order to shoot a target far away to you have to put you ironsights in front of the target and elevate it or do you just put it directly on the target. Some games implement this and some don't.

1. Sniper is very dangerous and powerful, so it's fairly limited. Medic are limited, but nobody uses them :P

2. In main base/deployment area. In towers often you'll find sniper rifles, and other weapons are mostly hidden in buildings.

3. I have no idea xD

4. Small maps are those 16x16 players, but nobody plays it. If you want to spawn closer, change spawning point [enter, select other dot, enter] or join squad. Then you'll be able to spawn of Squad Leader's position, if he's alive.

5. There's no crosshair. Realism FTW. And use 'm' key to open map. You'll find yourself there, and after few games you'll just know where to go :)

6. Depends on the weapon you shoot and the distance. For instance with sniper rifle you must aim like 4-7 milimeters over the target when he's at long distance. With other weapons, like Kar98 or Enfiled, try to aim precisely at enemy, but when he's far away, elevate a bit. Those rifles have deadly accuracy. With SMG and assault rifles there's no point in shooting at the distance at all.

Also shooting with MG and tank MG or cannon requires elevating it. They are not lasers, so they don't shoot straight. Also bazookas, Panershrecks and panzerfausts work in similiar way. Panzerfaust has very short range, so use it from behind of the tank and ONLY whn you are sure of 100% chances of hit.

yeah it's very effective, but only has 1 shot... I hate waiting patiently for tanks to shoot.

Where are those weps :D?

Anyways does anyone else find the tanks to be annoying? Im walking and suddenly I get killed by a Panzer II machine gun. It takes just 1-2 hits to kill you :(

 I thought the logical solution would to be get an AT rifle but I hit the tank like 5 times and it didn't die >:(. IDK if it was b/c I missed ???

Then I got into a tank and was blown up by another Panzer :'(. Then a bunch of them were camping by our spawn points >:(.

Also how do the Bofors work? I was trying to shoot down a plane but none of the shots hit it ???. It then bombed me :'(. What do you recommend you do or at least where should you put your crosshairs when shooting?

MG26(t) you will find on Lebisey map, it's basic support MG. Portable Lewis happens mostly on desert maps, often in main base. FG42(ZF) is quite fun, map Breakthrough in St.Lo, it's in the Windmill on the east side of map (where point is).

All weapons are insanely deadly. don't walk in open, unless you know you're safe ( like walking behind ABC line).


 I thought the logical solution would to be get an AT rifle but I hit the tank like 5 times and it didn't die >:(. IDK if it was b/c I missed ???


AT rifle is effective when shooting at side or back of enemy tank. Also try to get as close as possible, because it has very wide dispersion.


Then I got into a tank and was blown up by another Panzer :'(. Then a bunch of them were camping by our spawn points >:(.


You mean tank, not panzer ( panzers are german, you should be brit then) :P Tanks are also deadly as hell, one shot from pzIII kills Crusader. Not to mention about late war tanks. I never ride a tank, I'm crappy driver  :-X so I focus only on infantry warfare.


Also how do the Bofors work? I was trying to shoot down a plane but none of the shots hit it ???. It then bombed me :'(. What do you recommend you do or at least where should you put your crosshairs when shooting?

Depends on how is the plane flying. If it's flying somewhere, not straight at you, shoot in front of it. Shells will take time to reach target, and he will fly away.

If plane attacks you, shoot at it directly. At least if it's straifing.

I guess PzIV used HEAT shell. Those are very effective, but frankly they suck when shooting on long distances.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. Along with several announcements, this week's update will feature a render of a brand new German support weapon. Enjoy!

Our first and only render for today is of the largest weapon ever to be classified as an infantry gun. It is the 15cm schweres Infanterie Gesch?tz 33 (sIG 33)!



The sIG 33 was essentially a 150mm artillery gun, which was designed to provide close-range, supporting fire to infantry units. The gun itself was of conventional design, with large wooden, and then later, steel wheels. It also features included solid rubber tires, an air brake, and could fire a host of ammunition including HE, smoke, hollow-charge rounds. The most interesting however, was the Stielgranate 42 round, which consisted of a finned projectile still attached to the driving rod. Its primary use was not as an anti-tank round, but as a demo charge for clearing various strongholds. From 1936, all the way through to the end of war 1945, approximately 4,600 sIG 33s were produced. The 15cm schweres Infanterie Gesch?tz 33 was made by Kraetzer.

Yesterday, on Saturday the 10th, our awards and stats system began tracking our 10,000th player! This is quite and accomplishment for us on the development team, and we'd like to thank all of our fans for their support!

We would also like to let everyone know that the next FH Game Night is coming up later this month, and will take place on the 24th of September. While this is still a few weeks off, you can vote for which maps you'd like to play here, and be sure to check our forums for more information.

Don't use mod db for fh2, it is updated very irregularly. Use the official website:

Hey since u guys (maybe not all, I can see bb doesn't have it ;D) are familiar with FH2 can someone explain how the medic works ???

I finally found a medic kit (after searching for ages) but all I could do is despense med packs. I had no idea who was injured and they were just rolling on the floor since I gave it to the wrong people.

AND when they were shot and on the floor I couldn't revive them or help at all. I guess the other team noticed I was a medic and tore me to pieces using a Lewis :'(. I stopped trying to use medic after that.
