Didn't expect to see full server tonight! I can't wait for the tournament!!! I hope we'll be able to play tomorrow these 2 maps! :)


Did I have only the strange feeling that people didn't know how to play Salerno map? Brits were running like headless chickens everywhere, but not towards the last beach flag...  ::)

Edit: Would it be possible to implement some other of the WaW or FlH maps for this special weekend event. I remember some nice maps like Supplies for Malta, Wake Island, Iwo Jima and all that stuff. I don't know whether it is possible but it would add some more variation to the rotation. Just an idea ...

This!

And i also wanted to thank you all for this event.

Operation Husky



History
Operation Husky, Battle 6

The plan for Operation Husky called for the amphibious assault of the island by two armies, one landing on the south eastern and one on the central southern coast. The amphibious assaults were to be supported by naval gunfire, and tactical bombing, interdiction and close air support by the combined air forces. The Allied land forces were drawn from the American, British and Canadian armies, and were structured as two task forces.


The Eastern Task Force was led by General Bernard Montgomery and consisted of the British 8th Army. The Western Task Force was commanded by Lieutenant General George S. Patton and consisted of the US 7th Army. On the morning of July 10th, American forces assaulted the beaches between Licata and Cassibile.

Is that the same map they used as Omaha once? Looks similar... I though there was a custom version of the DICE bf42 Rtr map Husky flying around somewhere for FH2? Always liked that map in the expansion  :)

thx for the event BTW! I had fun. that red lighted landing map was pretty cool. Too many enemies to pick your targets! the hills in the back were nice also. The mountain night map was crazy, bit too rugged in the terrain, often falling down and dying or getting stuck, but amazing height differences, and I liked the "path" between the two top flags, was really nice when two big opposing groups were pushing against each other in it. I'd reconsider the lighting and view distance in that map though,  bit too much getting shot from 360, would be nice to fall in to one "lane" like hurtgen. I also think the town in the beginning isnt needed. could be a small mountain outpost instead, like the one on top of the high mountain.

anyway, constant action and was never bored :)

A bit of feedback about VOIP -> I don't know what's wrong but it works quite randomly. I could hear and speak to some people in my squad, but not to the others. And it happened as well that I could hear and speak to one guy during one map, and couldn't the next map.

All in all great event ! Sadly three maps in rotation was a bit small :-\

The three maps are great however, this only problem I got was that Salerno is a bit too heavy for my computer, especially in the town. The amount of players was not the cause since it happened with 40 players too.

Oh and the teamswitching while being in a squad is just absurd...

But then I could run up with a bazooka to destroy that panzer.. with no VOIP you don't have time to type out "THERE'S A PANZER AT MY POS" because you'll be lying dead before you hit send :D

Now that we can play Garigliano Crossing, we can finally defy gravity!


German Tanks are so full of themselves that when they see italian planes, they laugh and start flying themselves to show them the proper way to do it!

Note that in the last screenshot, the driver is not really sure about his flying panther and bails midair.
