World at War Map Test 2 - 7 new custom maps to play - Saturday, March 26th

[[WaW]TC|Avrojet]

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.

WaW Minimod: http://www.bfewaw.com/maps/WaW_Minimod/waw_minimod_0.32.exe
If you already installed the minimod last week you don't need to install it again.

Minimod Installation:
Open the file you downloaded, and install into the Battlefield 2 main directory. The installer should find it by itself.

disagree better for public forums to grab attention. worked well for navel/ air combat week.

Nor is this clan related.

also gives everyone the chance to try out new maps and not just our community.

Clans and Tournaments section ?

 

It's way better in general, I don't look in clan section. I would have missed this one.

[Ts4EVER]

Is that first map a remake of a CoH map  ?

Yes

[Zeno]

more ingamepics of this map?

[Tiny]

I was very impressed how you guys managed to get functioning naval warfare and even more impressed with the, in my oppinion, improved gravity flying physics. I wish that was standard in FH2 

[DLFReporter]

Too bad this clashes with the FH Game Night 14.... 

[McCloskey]

improved gravity flying physics

wait, wha?

[Paasky]

improved gravity flying physics

wait, wha?

Yes, WaW uses gravity for the aircraft. Very annoying, air combat doesn't feel like it's done in space with X-wings

[Kelmola]

The timing for this event is... mind-boggling. Almost as good as that EoD2 event that clashed with the Nations Cup. Well, not as bad since there's the NA gaming hours for this.

Please do tell that you have not implemented the same change as FHT had in their pubby pack where Bofors could only fire 4 rounds before reloading

That said, FH2 proper could use rally points in order to avoid the "hide the SL" phenomenon.
