Guess what: Omaha Beach

[Ts4EVER]

Anybody want a wallpaper?

Absolutely gorgeous map.

Oh Ts, now you are just showing off.


*Is the map going to be made on an official update?

[SJonni]

Will we get a video showing off this map as well?

[PanzerKnacker]

could you make the wallpaper 1680x1050?

Awwww yea!!! it's finally here! A realistic layout of Omaha Beach, and by the screenshots it looks just as beautiful and historically accurate as we can expect from an FH2 map.

I can't wait to see the flag layout and assets in the next update (and next video hopefully.)

Also, be sure to post this on every WW2 gaming site you know about. I have a feeling the COD/SPR fans are gonna eat this up when they see that Omaha beach is being featured, hopefully we can drag in a bunch more players with this. (just brace yourself for "th1s 1s n0ting l1k3 SPR!!!" comments)

There will be a traditional news update soon (possibly tomorrow) with more screenshots and a minimap. I will also post a devblog at a later date about the defensive layout on the beach and how the bunkers work etc... After the release I may make a new video with shake, but that is not set in stone.

Hopefully this will draw more players, even if it's the wrong crowd. If they like it they'll stay, and that's a good thing.

I miss Charlie sector already hahha

This looks nice. Will there be any nice little concealed bunkers overlooking the invasion beach with a fixed MG?

If they were there irl, they will be in the map.

There should be at least one, let's remember the Beast of Omaha!

[Oberst Topgun]

theres only one with limited sight to the beach. its main purpouse was to cover the beach exit/entrance.

german concrete defending positions werent placed with direct sights/firing positions direct to the sea. they were set to cover the beach in its width.
but of course there are enough mg nests (sandbags) and trenches to give direct fire

edit: "beast of omaha" or heinrich severloh was at a different defending nest.

[PanzerKnacker]

Aye, my mistake. Should be a ton of fun nonetheless.

Is it too early for me to ask wether or not the Americans get Artillery support (and I don't mean the commander radio)

[Ts4EVER]

They get a ship and pickup mortars.

Mighty hell! I expected anything but that! That is just brilliant mate, without this one the mod would have been incomplete. I think I will need to recover from this shock now .
