The 17th FH2 Campaign: The Unyielding Has Ended -
Congratulations to the Axis on their win!

From all of the Committee, Admins and Moderators we want to thank everyone
who took part in our seventeenth FH2 campaign.

Yet again another FH2 campaign is over, and what a campaign it has been! Up until the final battle, the scores swung wildly between Allied and Axis taking the lead, and, with just a 41 point difference going into Battle #10 at Tornio, the campaign could have gone either way.

In the end, a strong finish from Axis secured the victory, but we can all agree that the campaign felt incredibly balanced throughout, with a lot of fun maps and some great experiences.

The next campaign will take us back to the Pacific and will start some time in September 2025, so keep checking the forums and Discord for further news!

Some interesting statistics from the 17th campaign:

• In total there were nearly 55,000 kills over the course of the 10 battles (including team kills) - an average of around 5,431 kills per battle.
• The top tank in this campaign with over 1,750 kills was the T-34/76, with the BT-7 in a distant second with 612 kills.
• The Lavochkin La-5 ruled the skies with over 160 kills while the MiG-3 took second place.
• There were 270 close range kills made with bayonets, knives, entrenchment tools and spades, with bayonets being the favoured melee weapon.
• 279 players were unlucky enough to step on an anti-personnel mine during the campaign.
• 101 anti-tank mines were used to destroy vehicles and tanks over the course of 10 battles.

Donating To CMP
Without donations to help cover the costs for servers and software we cannot continue to create and host FH2 campaigns, support new games when possible; as well as run the forums, Teamspeak and Discord channels.

We are now midway through 2025 and we need members to step up and donate whatever they can afford to help cover the monthly community costs - even a few Euros will help.

REMINDER AND WARNING FOR PLAYING IN OUR CAMPAIGNS AND EVENTS 

Discussions about any real-world conflicts/wars and other political-related matters in the forums, on Discord (outside of #definitely-not-politics-or-news), in Teamspeak and in any game will not be tolerated. 

Anyone breaking this rule will be instantly banned from current and future FH2 campaigns along with any other events, and may also be removed from the CMP community. This group is about videogaming and inclusivity for all.

The Eastern Front. One of the bloodiest and costliest of the Second World War. More than 80% of all combat took place on the Eastern Front, and now you can test your mettle on these historic battlegrounds. In this campaign you will see action in a wide variety of engagements, from armoured combat in the Battle of Brody, to the Operation Mars offensive, and the tactical engagements at Lenino on the Dnieper River. As the campaign forges its way into the Continuation War between Soviet and Finnish forces, explore rarely played maps in the Karelian Isthmus and the Nordic territories including Ihantala, Nietjärvi and the brutal fighting at Ilomantsi—the last major Soviet attack.   Fight through harsh terrain, with swamps, lakes and small villages that will test your infantry skills and tactics. Hide in immense forests to hunt down incoming tanks, and rise to the skies to achieve air superiority.   After months of mapping and development we are proud to offer another great FH2 campaign. Be part of the Soviet 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division, or fight as the Finnish Panssaridivisioona in 10 intense battles on great custom maps, a few of them unknown and being exclusively made and edited for this campaign. Get your gaming gear ready for a community-led co-operative campaign on maps including Tali, Sinimaed, Tornio, Operation Little Saturn and other beautifully designed maps.

From all of the Committee, Admins and Moderators we want to wish
all of the CMP community a wonderful holiday and hopes for a fantastic New Year.

As we stand on the brink of a new year, it's hard to believe that yet another chapter has come to a close. But soon, we will gather at our rally points yet again, ready to spawn into 2025. While we may carry some of the challenges and concerns from the past year with us, let’s embrace the idea that each of us holds the potential to create change, no matter how small. Whether it’s a kind word to a friend on Discord or Teamspeak, a helping hand to someone in need, or simply sharing a moment of fun in-game with friends, every action counts.

Within the CMP community, we have witnessed this spirit of connection and support flourish. From friends meeting online to share their passion for gaming, to CMP members gathering in person to enjoy good food and great conversation, and our vibrant Discord server buzzing with discussions and assistance — these moments remind us of the strength we find in each other.

As we reflect on the growth of our community, we can take pride in how far we’ve come. Our numbers have swelled to over 3,000 members, and our signature FH2 campaigns have become a beacon for players seeking a place to call home. This is a testament to the welcoming environment we’ve built together, where everyone can hopefully feel valued and connected.

So, as we prepare to step into 2025, let’s carry this warmth and camaraderie with us. Let’s continue to nurture our community and support one another. Here’s to a new year filled with hope, friendship, and the promise of new adventures!

 

In 2024 we hosted two diverse and interesting FH2 campaigns using a mix of our favourite custom maps, mixed in with a number of new maps never played before in a campaign.

It continues to surprise us that FH2 still holds a special place in so many players' hearts after all this time as we saw the server full throughout most of Campaign #15 in the Ardennes, and Campaign #16 covering various early war theatres. We're pleased to see more of the "older veterans" returning play in our campaigns, or simply coming to chat with us in Discord. And, once again, we've seen so many new players participating in their first campaigns this year, we hope they've enjoyed the experience and they'll return for more campaigns next year!

There is so much that goes on in the background to keep the community, campaigns and events running and we must recognise the core group of CMP members who tirelessly give their all for this wonderful community of players. They work long hours, using their free time to bring our community not only two custom FH2 campaigns each year, but also to make sure that CMP can thrive going forward, and they deserve a heartfelt thank you from us all.

Without the dedication from those listed below, there would be no CMP community, and no FH2 campaigns for us all to enjoy:

Without the generous donations from this small number of community members out of the 3,000+ registered on the forums (just 0.4% of the community!), we would not be able to continue with the custom FH2 campaigns, and the expansion of the CMP community to look at supporting more games and events during 2025.

If you donated to CMP, but are not on the list above, PM @Quicksilver and receive your 2024 Donators Medal!

CMP 2024 Recap
Over the past 12 months we have:

• Hosted both our Ardennes and Early War FH2 campaigns. Both Allied and Axis have both managed to take victory in the campaigns this year, as we look towards the next campaigns, we will most likely see some mixing up of the various squads to keep things interesting in 2025!
  
  We want to thank the HQ's, Officers and Squad Leaders for taking the time to lead and help players in these campaigns, attending trainings, meetings and battles. Without you, these campaigns would not have been possible!
  
  Also, to the players who may be old veterans, or brand new to FH2 and playing in CMP campaigns - Thank You! Yet again we've seen the server nearing max capacity during the campaigns. We hope you will keep coming back for more in the future.

 

• Continued to organise community games such as:
  • CS2
  • Hell Let Loose
  • Squad 44
  • Star Citizen
  • Valheim

Come and join them if you play these games!

 

Christmas Holiday Break
Now that the 16th FH2 campaign is over, those involved in the long process of planning the campaigns will be taking a well deserved break over Christmas and the New Year. However, we have already started making plans for an exciting Campaign #17! We expect the next FH2 campaign to start sometime in March 2024.

Keep checking the forums and CMP emails to find out when the new campaign will start and to get signed up!

We welcome all new players to join us in upcoming FH2 campaigns, and if you have played in at least one of our campaigns and would like to volunteer for a role as a Squad Leader, Regimental Commanding Officer or even as HQ then please let @Quicksilver or @RayderPSG know by Private Message in the forums and we'll see if we can find a place for you.

 

CMP In 2025
We are looking to increase support for existing gaming groups and the number of games we support over the next year:

• Continuing our FH2 campaigns;
• More DiRT Rally 2.0 events;
• As Star Citizen increases in scope and activities we will be hosting more events including our first entry into the Daymar Rally! Come and join us at ANTCORP!
• Continue to host our own world server for Valheim;
• To continue arranging scrims with other communities and clans playing Squad 44;
• Supporting the expanding community of Hell Let Loose players in the CMP community and arranging events with other communities;
• Arranging events to play Squad with those who play within CMP.

Are there other multiplayer and co-operative games you are interested in that you think the CMP community would enjoy too? If you do, then please post here and also vote in our poll!

 

Donating To CMP
In 2024 our donators helped us to exceed our target goal for the year.

Without donations to help cover the costs for servers and software we cannot continue to create and host FH2 campaigns, support new games when possible; as well as run the forums, Teamspeak and Discord channels. As we begin a new year we will again need members to step up and donate whatever they can afford to help cover the monthly community costs - even a few Euros will help.

You can use the button below to make a single or monthly donation to CMP, or use the buttons on the side bar of the Home page.

 

A new FH2 campaign will be starting around mid-September to play through 12 maps (and at least one scrim). The campaign will end before Christmas.

We need players to volunteer for all leading roles. If there are no volunteers to lead the teams, regiments or squads then the campaign will NOT go ahead!

For all those that complain during campaigns that their HQ, CO's or SL's do not know what they are doing - this is your time to shine and prove you're more than just talk!

POST BELOW if you're interested in any of the roles (HQ / CO / SL), or send a PM to @Sir_Kowskoskey, @RAnDOOm or @Hawk

A huge thank you to all those who have donated in our latest donations drive!

With their help we have doubled our monies, but we still need another € 235,00 to be able to fund all our activities for the remainder of 2024.

So, if you can, please donate towards helping the CMP community.

 

Calling All Members Of The CMP Community!

The monies are running low in the CMP funds account, and we need your help if we are to continue supporting our forums, "Discord server, Teamspeak and most importantly the game server that runs our FH2 campaigns, Valheim, Assetto Corsa and more games if they are needed in the future! You can see our costs at https://cmp-gaming.com/topic/963-donating-to-cmp-gaming/

Over the last three years we've seen a decline in the number of donations, and while we know that the worldwide economy isn't great, and people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities, we also know that those in our community have come to find CMP as a place to let off steam and relax with friends - although those who lead players in the FH2 campaigns may say it is less than relaxing!

 

We are now over 6 months into 2024 and we have only just reached one-third of our funding target for this year.

On average, we typically see 20 or so CMP members pay to fund the costs we incur, as a community. That's 20 members out of the 2,800+ members who are registered on the website, and of the 260+ members who signed up and enjoyed playing in our last FH2 campaign.

Just 20 members enabled the other 240+ members to participate in the 11-week FH2 campaign. This shouldn't be the norm.

 

What we need is for our community as a whole to step up. If you want to be able to continue playing FH2 campaigns, continue using Teamspeak to meet up and chat with friends, use the forums to arrange games, campaign and other events, then we need donations.

If only 100 members donate €5 each then we can reach our target for the year, and allow us to keep the Teamspeak service running, as well as set up and run our autumn FH2 campaign. If we don't have the funds, we can't run the community that so many of you enjoy being a part of.

 

We know that some of you wish to donate, but cannot donate due to restrictions on using PayPal in your country. Thank you for looking into alternative means of donating, I've spoken with a fair number of community members to discuss other ways to donate.

If you can, and would like to donate, you can use the button below to make a single or monthly donation to CMP, or use the buttons on the side bar of the Home page.
 

The 15th FH2 Campaign: The Last Winter Has Ended -
Congratulations to the Axis on their win!

From all of the Committee, Admins and Moderators we want to thank everyone
who took part in our fifthteenth FH2 campaign.

It's hard to believe that a game which started life back in 2007 is still seeing a full server of 100 players continue to participate in CMP's campaigns in 2024, and I'm sure that with a team still passionate and dedicated to Forgotten Hope 2, the game will be around for many more years to come.

And, if it doesn't make anyone feel old realizing they've been playing this game (and participating in many organised FH2 campaigns) for over 17 years, then the sudden awareness that CMP is in it's 7th year of running FH2 campaigns might give pause for thought!

At present we're still deciding on what theatre to run for our Autumn 2024 campaign, but as soon as we know more we'll be sure to post a hint or two.

Some interesting statistics from the 15th campaign:

• In total there were nearly 60,000 kills over the course of the 11 battles (including team kills) - an average of around 5,423 kills per battle.
• The top three military hardware on the battlefield were medium tanks (both teams), and Axis artillery. The Panzer IV H ruled supreme in this campaign with over 1,500 kills.
• There were 561 close range kills made with bayonets, knives, entrenchment tools and spades.
• 549 players were unlucky enough to step on an anti-personnel mine during the campaign.
• One player was unlucky enough to be killed by a AN M8 Smoke Grenade.

Mapping and Mapping Support

• Papillon, Geopat, Watchtower, Pr0z4c, SgtAlex, CptBocquier and DonbassCossack

A small group of dedicated volunteers have yet again generously given their personal time to create the maps used in this campaign. Despite having families, jobs, and other commitments, they manage to prepare these maps in time for our events.

Papillon and GeoPat have consistently contributed to ensuring the maps are ready for training and battles, alongside Watchtower, Pr0z4c and SgtAlex who have either created new maps from scratch, or brought existing maps up to a high standard of work, and worthy of being played in our campaigns. Once again, they have put in tremendous effort to get the maps ready for this campaign. We extend a huge thank you to them for all their hard work!

Without our mappers, we wouldn't have these amazing custom campaigns and would instead be relying on public maps, hoping they work well in an organized setting. Also, thank you to CptBocquier, Vlasov and DonbassCossack for helping to bring in some of the more interesting vehicles, player models, weapons and buildings to the campaigns including the new church static, Panzerzugwagen and wine bottles found at the end of the campaign

We need more volunteers to learn map-making and assist in creating new maps or updating existing ones. If you're interested, please post below, and we'll share some resources to help you get started.

Game Servers and Teamspeak

• kummitus

Always working behind the scenes, Kummitus ensures the servers and Teamspeak run smoothly, providing essential support for mappers as they edit and build the maps for campaigns.

Without Kummitus managing the technical challenges of running the campaigns, Teamspeak, the forums, and Discord, we wouldn't have many of the features that bring a campaign together. We are deeply grateful for all his efforts!

Forums, Graphics, Social Media and Community Support

• RAnDOOm
• Sir_Kowskoskey
• Hawk
• RayderPSG
• Erwin

RAnDOOm plays a crucial role in preparing our campaigns by setting up forums, the campaign interface, medals, ads, social media promotions, and assisting officers and HQ with forum access.

When we launch a campaign and open registration, you can be sure that RAnDOOm has done much of the work to ensure everything is ready on time. Without his efforts, meeting the tight schedules for our biannual campaigns would be much more challenging!

Sir_Kowskoskey, RayderPSG, and Hawk work tirelessly to communicate with various language regiments and players, gently persuading them to take on leadership roles and monitoring potential player numbers and side preferences for each campaign. Their assistance in securing HQ and officers for each campaign and ensuring smooth operations is greatly appreciated!

Hawk and Erwin are responsible for the captivating campaign ads (Hawk's adverts are always masterpieces!) and the atmospheric map loading images you see, often featuring intriguing WW2 quotes. Their work adds the final touches, bringing extra shine to our campaigns and maps!

Map Balancing and Feedback

• Hawk
• RayderPSG

Hawk and RayderPSG take on the challenging and often thankless task of balancing weapons, vehicles, and planes on campaign maps. Despite frequent complaints about weapon balance, they do an incredible job of testing and researching to ensure everything is as balanced as possible.

Behind the scenes, they engage in extensive discussions about map content, always prioritizing balance and avoiding personal bias, even when they are playing or leading a squad. We owe them a huge thank you for striving to make each battle fair and equal for both teams!

 

AND FINALLY A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO YOU, THE PLAYERS WHO JOINED OUR CAMPAIGN!

We are delighted that so many of you have found CMP to be a welcoming home to enjoy gaming with like-minded individuals.

Our hope is to continue growing this community, expanding the range of games we play, and encouraging members to take the lead on introducing new games for us to enjoy together.

If there’s a game you’re passionate about and believe it would be a great fit for our community, please PM a Committee member or an admin and let us know! We may be able to support you in setting up a group within CMP.

Seems to be a Teamspeak issue, rather than a CMP problem. Did you download Teamspeak from their official website at https://www.teamspeak.com/en/downloads/

I have the 32-bit client installed and haven't seen the CMP icon in the taskbar when Teamspeak is running (or otherwise) - just the standard blue dot. But, the CMP icon is set to show for our Teamspeak server, so that is most likely why it was showing in the taskbar if there was a setting enabled to display which server you were currently connected to.

I see you mention the 32-bit was installed and then you talk about the 64-bit version, so the server icon in the taskbar may be part of the newer 64-bit version.

Strange that you had issues uninstalling the app though. I would definitely report this to the Teamspeak team.

My community mappack updater gets stuck trying to download some Vietnamese localization file, it gets stuck in an endless loop and you have to force quit the software. It says "Download failed, retrying" and it also says "required hard disk space 0.0kb" the file is fh2\localization\vietnamese\cmp_maps.utxt it repeats this like 100x a second and I cannot find an alternative download link. I tried running the FH2 launcher as administrator but it didn't help. I also tried removing the updater and re-installing it from the Launcher.

There's a good chance that your FH2 is not up-to-date. Can you please try "Repairing" your FH2 installation to make sure it is on the latest version, and then try again?

Just keep those sorts of messages in PM's or private chat on Teamspeak and off the battle server please Then everything will be good.

 

In mid-1944 it looked as if the war in Europe was coming to an end. The Axis Army was on the run, the Allies had triumphantly regained Paris, as well as Casablanca, Naples, and Rome. After five hard years of war, Allied soldiers were breathing easier. However, the Axis forces had one final card to play. In December 1944, they struck back with a brutal counterattack known as the: Battle of the Bulge After months of mapping and development we are proud to offer another great FH2 campaign. Experience the Allied final push towards the German border as part of the American 101st Airborne Division, or counter-attack as the German 21st Panzer-Division in 10 intense battles on great custom maps, a few of them unknown and being exclusively made and edited for this campaign. Get your gaming gear ready for a community-led co-operative campaign on maps including as Hatten-Rittershoffen, Gleize, Verdenne, Foy, Hardt, Nordwind and other beautifully designed maps.

For all those that complain during campaigns that their HQ, CO's or SL's do not know what they are doing - this is your time to shine and prove you're more than just talk!

 

101st Airborne vs 21st Panzer Division
 

If you are interested then post below, or PM @RayderPSG, @Sir_Kowskoskey or @RAnDOOm and let them know which side you wish to play on, in which regiment and what role you'd like to take (HQ, CO, LT, NCO).

We only have around 16 days to get teams in place, so the sooner we can fill up these leadership spots, the sooner we can get this campaign started!

 

From all of the Committee, Admins and Moderators we want to wish
all of the CMP community a wonderful holiday and hopes for a fantastic New Year.

Yet another year has passed and it will soon be time to pick a rally point and spawn into 2024. And, although we haven't managed to leave some of the troubles and concerns of 2023 behind us, we can always look to 2024 with renewed hope and the resolve that if we want to make the world a better place we have the power within ourselves to bring change - even just the smallest action to help loved ones, friends, or our local community is sometimes all it takes.

Within the CMP community we love to see this postivity as well. Friends meeting online to share their love of a particular game or just to chat on Teamspeak, CMP members meeting in real life to eat, drink and talk face-to-face, and through our Discord server where members can ask for help with technical issues, opinions on games, movies, music and much more.

I think that I can safely say that for all those who work to keep CMP running, we are proud of how this fledgling community has grown over the years. Our numbers have swelled dramatically, and the numbers are consistently high in our signature FH2 campaigns for which CMP is now well-known for. It goes to show that what we are building here is what a lot of players are looking for - a place to call home.

In 2023 we saw two more amazing FH2 campaigns using familiar and favourite custom maps, mixed in with a number of new maps never played before - it seems crazy that we have now closed out Campaign #13 in Italy and Campaign #14 in Normandy after the landings of D-Day. It's been wonderful to see the "old war dog veterans" return to join us again, and also a good number of new players participating in their first campaigns - a huge welcome to them!

Of course, we can't ring out the year without mentioning the core group of CMP members who tirelessly give their all to set up these FH2 tournaments to play. They work long hours, using their free time to bring our community two custom FH2 campaigns each year, alongside other community events and features, and they deserve a heartfelt thank you from us all.

Without the dedication from those listed below, there would be no CMP community, and no FH2 campaigns for us all to enjoy:

Without the generous donations from these 16 community members out of the 2,000+ registered on the forums (just 0.5% of the community!), we would not be able to continue with the custom FH2 campaigns, and the expansion of the CMP community to look at supporting more games and events during 2024.

If you donated to CMP, but are not on the list above, PM @Quicksilver and receive your 2023 Donators Medal!

CMP 2023 Recap
Over the past 12 months we have:

• Hosted both our Italian and Normany FH2 campaigns. Allied have managed to win back-to-back campaigns this year, as we look towards the next campaign focused around the Battle of the Bulge, it will be exciting to see who will win the late war campaign before we look to start again at the battles around 1939 / 1940 and onwards.
  
  We want to thank the HQ's, Officers and Squad Leaders for taking the time to lead and help players in these campaigns, attending trainings, meetings and battles. Without you, these campaigns would not have been possible!
  
  Also, to the players who may be old veterans, or brand new to FH2 and playing in CMP campaigns - Thank You! Yet again we've seen the server nearing max capacity during the campaigns. We hope you will keep coming back for more in the future.
   

• Ran a 6-week DiRT Rally 2.0 championship with players racing all over the world in special events on tarmac, gravel, mud and snow. Thank you to @turbomursu for organising this!
   
• Continued to organise community games such as:
  • Assetto Corsa
  • CS2
  • Hell Let Loose
  • Squad 44
  • Star Citizen

Come and join them if you play these games!

 

Christmas Holiday Break
Now that the 14th FH2 campaign is over, those involved in the long process of planning the campaigns will be taking a well deserved break over Christmas and the New Year. However, that doesn't mean plans are not already in place for Campaign #15! We expect the next FH2 campaign to start sometime in March 2024.

Keep checking the forums and CMP emails to find out when the new campaign will start and to get signed up!

We welcome all new players to join us in upcoming FH2 campaigns, and if you have played in at least one of our campaigns and would like to volunteer for a role as a Squad Leader, Regimental Commanding Officer or even as HQ then please let @Quicksilver or @RayderPSG know by Private Message in the forums and we'll see if we can find a place for you.

 

CMP In 2024
We are looking to increase support for existing gaming groups and the number of games we support over the next year:

• Continuing our FH2 campaigns;
• More DiRT Rally 2.0 events;
• As Star Citizen increases in scope and activities we will be hosting more events including our first entry into the Daymar Rally! Come and join us at ANTCORP!
• Continue to host our own world server for Valheim;
• To continue arranging scrims with other communities and clans playing Squad 44;
• Supporting the expanding community of Hell Let Loose players in the CMP community and arranging events with other communities;
• Arranging events to play Squad with those who play within CMP.

Are there other multiplayer and co-operative games you are interested in that you think the CMP community would enjoy too? If you do, then please post here and also vote in our poll!

 

Donating To CMP
In 2023 our donators helped us to get close to our target goal for the year.

Without donations to help cover the costs for servers and software we cannot continue to create and host FH2 campaigns, support new games when possible; as well as run the forums, Teamspeak and Discord channels. As we begin a new year we will again need members to step up and donate whatever they can afford to help cover the monthly community costs - even a few Euros will help.

You can use the button below to make a single or monthly donation to CMP, or use the buttons on the side bar of the Home page.
