Forgotten Hope Beta 0.6 is about 60% complete and features a huge number of planes, tanks and battleships - not only beautifully modelled, but also simulated in a very realistic way. To top it all off there is a choice of new maps as well. The FH Mod team has released a new patch bringing their BF1942 mod to v0.61 (they initially released 0.6, but a few bugs crept in so they immediately issued a 0.61 fix). You HAVE to delete FH0.5 before installing this version. Now sit back & relax, this download is HUGE (you NEED all 3 files!).
