Forgotten Hope 2, a total conversion mod for Battlefield 2, will receive a major update with new mechanics, maps, vehicles, and weapons

So many years after its release, Battlefield 2 has not lost its relevance for some players. The DICE game continues to be supported by the community

The developers of the total conversion mod Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2 are preparing a major update. The 2.64 Compagnons release is scheduled for January 23, 2024.

Gradually showcasing the upcoming content, the team intends to add a couple of new maps to Forgotten Hope 2, Medjez El Bab and La Hardt, along with vehicles, weapons, and more.

They introduced a new mechanic for bolt-action weapons: previously, after firing, the bolt cycling animation would play, and the camera would switch back to hip-fire view during these moments.

Players have long requested the ability to aim down sights without the bolt cycling animation resetting the camera after every shot — this was problematic because players could not exit aim down sights until the animation finished, preventing them from quickly taking cover (movement speed is lower while aiming). The developers were finally able to find a solution; here is what the new mechanic looks like in action: https://youtu.be/SxAJ-EnBkko
