Was it there in 1941?

1570 seems just a tad earlier than 1941.  ;)

It obviously wouldn't be lit up, though.

Sorry, the pics he posted looked definitely post WW2 to me.

Anyway, I don't think the Devs really change old maps too much (for example: not replacing all the sandbags in the Pre-2.2 maps with the vastly improved [both visually and gameplay wise: you can shoot over them when crouched] 2.2 Sandbags), so I'm not sure if they will go back and make this static just for Crete.  Not to mention, Crete is basically as close to a 1:1 port of an FH1 map as you can get, and the lighthouse wasn't in back then...

Not to mention that Crete has already managed to compress 50+ km of shoreline plus the 150+ km distance to Greek mainland in one map, so missing one lighthouse is not really a surprise...

Well right now the map doesnt quite hold the same high standard as say the normandy maps or that other greek map, and yeah it's too much a copy of FH1's in look an quality..

We did have an applicant who was making the lighthouse as a model for a Chania map but he disappeared before finishing it unfortunately.
