Thanks to all those who attended our first map test last Saturday. I hope you had fun playing on some new maps. Our mappers will be doing some fixes and improvements on those maps with the help of your playtest.
This Saturday we'll be running our second map test and the map lineup looks awesome.
We'll be battling on 7 new custom maps. One highlight are the remakes of the classic FH1 map "
Breakthrough 1944". Apart from that we've got a map
"Hill 331" based on the Company of Heroes map by the same name which will provide some outsanding ground battles.
Our modified version of FH2's Crete_1941 map provides each side with a main base as well as naval assets to fight for control of the coastline. Finally we have several more maps and I'll just let the screenshots below speak for themselves.
The map download will be available for download on Saturday.
Have even more fun by joining our TS3 server and hanging out with our players while you battle it out on these new battlegrounds.
These maps include custom WaW features such as:
- WaW Rally Point System. Enhance teamwork by deploying rally points in your squad and spawning on them
- custom WaW infantry kits. Unique weapon and equipment loadouts
- custom WaW vehicles
- Naval Combat (Corvettes)
- Air combat with gravity and nosecam
So, please come by on Saturday and join the fun on these exciting new maps.
What do you need?To play these maps you must install the
WaW Minimod. It does not effect your regular FH2 installation at all. You'll still be able to play on all servers without a problem. The WaW Minimod adds custom kits, equipment and other things to our custom maps.
