Please note. Non of Forgotten Hope is my work, this is a fan/enthusiast site. The table below is sortable (click on column titles).

Intro

There are so many maps. Don't know about you but I have difficulty remembering them all ! The table below is sortable (click on column titles) allowing selection of whatever game play feature the player fancies. The maps included are in the main FH2 install as well the FH2: Forgotten Maps and All New 2.5 Maps. Eventually I will include the in game maps and loading screens for each map to aid in map selection. I also hope to annotate the maps (using a script, much like what is shown on my site for Battlegroup42) to include the positions of various assets, at the very least ammo boxes which are sometimes almost impossible to find unless you happen to be familiar with that particular map.

Please note that with the Coop/SP maps the loading screen description does not always match the game mode and other features. Also note that 16/32/64 does not equate to map size. 32 is often a 64 size map with a different game mode. The initial sort order is the order that the maps appear in the in game selection menu (which is not strictly alphabetical).

In the table below a map qualifies as being a "Good map" if some or all of the following are determined. Some of the selections are subjective based on my preferences.

1. Good with AI. Multiple tactical possibilities for AI. Lots of AI combined arms usage; tanks, planes, and so on. This also usually implies that the map has been successfully navmeshed without any major problems.
2. Lots of pick up kits.
3. Good Artillery Spotting capabilities for single player (and Coop if there's only a few human players in a game). High ground, and/or fast vehicle to high ground, near artillery and mortars so one is able to put spot a long way across map (the time the spot stays there was recently extended by the FH dev team to facilitate exactly this kind of single player or cooperative game play).
4. Good example of artistic map design and/or good potential to provide full psychological immersion in the game.

Table

New players

To start new SP/Coop game use (in menu) Multiplayer --> Create Local --> RESELECT "Co-op" in Game Mode drop down menu --> Double click map to add to Map order. You must reselect the Co-op game mode to have the actual Coop/SP maps in the list (old bug, might get fixed one day).

Artillery

A single player or player in Coop team can make artillery spots using binoculars (kits with binoculars or sniper pick up kits and some other kits). This can either be done on a high spot near to mortars of artillery guns, or by whizzing off in a fast vehicle and making the spot where the action is then returning. The length of time the spot stays on the map has been extended on the Coop/SP maps. However the distance to which a spot can actually be made is rather limited (looking into this). So why not take your artillery with you ? Both the SdKfz 251/1-11 Ausf. D (German Half Track with rocket launcher) and the American Willys MB Calliope can be used as mobile artillery. They have the same interface as mortars and artillery. When a spot is available turn the dials to 0 degrees and then right click to see camera view of target location. In both these vehicles the operator has to switch to the driver to align one of the dials. The calibration may be off due to the camera view being raised for bots.
