Forgotten Honor Battlefield 1918 Campaign
30.11.2011 - 12:28 from Cicero

Forgotten Honor Presents A massive new Battlefield 1918 campaign - New Blood!

After numerous successful campaigns Forgotten Honor is proud to open the third Battlefield 1918 Campaign: New Blood. During this 9 week campaign you will be placed on the Western European front nearing the end of the Great War between the hard-pressed but veteran German army and newly-arrived American Expeditionary Force. Will you aid the USA 1st Infantry Division in punching through German lines and ending the war in one stroke? Or will you enlist in the 111th German Infanterie-Division and show the Yankees the true meaning of trench warfare? The choice is yours!


What is a campaign?

A campaign is a series of connected battles where we recreate the timeline of the war. Here at Forgotten Honor it also means teamplay and organized gameplay. Campaigns take about 8-10 weeks and every Saturday we will have one 3-hour battle. All battles are counted towards the final score which determines the army that won the overall campaign.

How does it all work? Simple! In the beginning of every week our campaign management announces which map will be played that Saturday. Headquarters and officers of each army are responsible for creating plans and strategies which will be used for that map, as well as awarding medals and promotions for last week's battle. This is not purely cosmetic – promotions give you the ability to command squads within the unit, a privilege to use special weapons and equipment and various other perks – just like in the real army!

Of course, you also get to choose your role according to your preferences both within your army and within your regiment. Some regiments are specialized in the use of specific equipment, such as armor, artillery, planes or special infantry weapons. If you have a taste for something special, apply there! Within you unit you can say what role suits you best or volunteer for a specific assignment - MG gunners, drivers, scouts, snipers, tank killers - everybody is welcome and every role is important for your unit to crush the opposition!

Every army has a training server to use during the week for scouting and practice, as well as their own Teamspeak channels and locked sub-forums (we call them barracks) for communication and entertainment. Everyone can participate in all weekly activities and events as much as they want – no obligations! And then, on Saturday evening, fighting begins!

So, this is what you can expect:
* Large scale battles every Saturday evening
* A unique chance to immerse yourself in WWI warfare
* Unique maps designed for massive organized battles
* Earn promotions and rewards for your achievements
* Choose from two major armies with historically accurate regiments
* New friendships with likeminded people from all over the world
* It is free, and everybody is welcome! [/indent]

What is Battlefield 1918?

Battlefield 1918 is a mod for Battlefield 1942. That means it modifies the game so you are not fighting in WW2, but in WWI with everything that belongs to that time period like biplanes, trenches, tanks and rifles.

This time Inside1918 team and Forgotten Honor have decided to work together and create an even better experience than before. The only mod you need for this campaign is the BF1918-F|H mod and then you are set for the whole campaign.
Also, for this campaign the Inside1918 team has created exclusive maps designed for tournament gameplay and they contain special content that cannot be found in the original mod!

Registration for the campaign opened last week! Join now and get ready to play our first battle on Saturday, December 3rd!

The Great War: BEF - Empire and Commonwealth
24.09.2011 - 21:00 from Rataconfusca

Today we bring you a small update to remind people that we’re very much still alive!
As we don’t have many interesting things to show right now (most of the things we’re working on right now are very unglamorous bug fixes), we’ll talk about an aspect unmentioned so far: skin variations. We also wanted to talk about how we implemented gas warfare, but to avoid cluttering we’ll do a full update on the subject later.

B.E.F. Infantry skin variations:
When we started planning this faction two years ago we decided to go for a nation-neutral design. The historical BEF had a number of non-British contingents in its ranks and to avoid alienating any of those we kept away from referencing specific nations. If you want your army to portray Welsh, Canadians or South Africans, you’re free to imagine so.

Unfortunately while most contingents had adopted the standard British Service Dress by 1918, a few didn’t. So we had to go through the efforts of making specific skins for them.

Highlanders

Scottish and Canadian highlander units wore their traditional uniform in combat, although the kilt was covered with a tan apron to comply with camouflage requirements.

Australian Imperial Force

In November 1917 the ANZAC was disbanded and the five Australian divisions grouped in their own national corps on the Western Front.
The Diggers’ stubborn choice of keeping their national uniform in Europe wasn’t just motivated by pride: The loose jacket was more comfortable, and up to eight grenades could be stuffed in its wide pockets!

Portuguese Expeditionary Corps

The soldiers of the two Portuguese divisions sent to the Western front were fully reequipped and organised in the British Army fashion. The sole exception was their distinctive blue-grey uniform.

The variations are purely cosmetic. We did not want petty stat exploitation to get in the way of players' selection of skin. The skins are activated through the reward list. Only one skin choice will work at a time. If multiple choices are selected, the game will use the default skins instead.

Note: we will not do any additional skins. If a particular nation isn’t in the list, it’s because they wore British SD and as such are already portrayed by the default models.
