Keren express
« on: 26-01-2012, 12:01:52 »
The upcoming map Battle of Keren features unique statics made by Herc. The train station, located in the town Keren, is one of those statics. It's fully accessible and has a couple of interesting ways to sneak in and out. Here's a closer look:









Battle of Keren is an old fan map I made a few years back. After the release of 2.4, I decided to improve it and finally make it an official map. One of the things that has been added since then is a usable rail road. Now both teams can use trains as transport:

The trainstation is really one of the most impressiv statics of FH2.
And its also really cool inside, with many ways you can go up and down, and in the beginning you will get lost :D

The train ride is really worth it, you can explore the beautiful landscape with it from the beginning of the map till the end.

And the train station is a really cool place to have fire fights in.

Can't wait to play this one in public.

Great looking map! Station looks so real. I remember someone posting a photo of this place and it is absolutely true to the original. This is what makes FH2 unique! Congratz Schism!

And looking at the killed and injured soldiers the poor Italians failed miserably.

  That train station is just freaking awesome.  Kinda like with the Vossanak church I just want to make a map as an excuse to throw this static in it.
