Hill 262 is a map that has been designed and performed by [79th]Nikita and I for the Forgotten Honor Tournament. It's A FH2 map that we destine to Project Normandy in the near future, with the permission of the FHT. We are looking for a mapper that is agree to work on it



Concept map (in French )


Early Minimap. A lot of things have changed since

Looks like it uses FH2 statics/overgrowth (and possible other stuff). All that would have to be replaced for it to be used in PR?

So you arent going to work on it, rather asking for someone to do it?

Easier to convert than you would think. As long as you have about 10 gigs of free space.

Phoenix contacted me, we talked about it and Normandy is allowed to use the map. But yes, that requires you to replace all FH2 statics with our own. Not impossibru at all, just requires someone that enjoys placing statics and everything. The terrain is all done, except probably needs some adjusting here and there to fit the statics better.

We have no Polish forces however, so will be placeholdered with US for now I guess.

To add polish forces require british forces first, because of the uniform. As you can see only a few details make the difference :


See "Poland" under the shoulder

Sadly yes. actually I've no skillz in use of BF2 editor and Nikita has no time to come back on hill 262 currently. But keep in mind that any mapper who would enjoy to work on it will have access to a lot of documents gathered by my team : photographies (took on the area. it's not far from Paris ), satellites images, french databases etc.
