Plus the balancing will change as players learn to play the map.
Remember when Hurtgen forest was new, the allies capping germeter and winning was superrare. Now it can easily go either way.
I do bad things to the BF2 engine.

Now I realised that all these bunkers are already in mapping files, so I wonder why nobody noticed that they're related to Omaha Beach :P

AFAIK early version of Omaha was made a long time ago but then, this project was abandoned and community was told about it being scrapped or something when someone found these bunkers in the files, until the official update about it every Omaha dream was crushed even if map went back into development after 2.45 release.

Not all of these bunkers are in the mapping files. I'm pretty sure the 88mm pak bunker isn't, for example.

No, the big one down in wn71. Or the double embrasure bunker with the turret, for that matter.

I think the big one from WN71 is in the files becaues I've seen it a long time ago before map went back into the beta build (but it could be there in my beta modding build anyway) not sure about the double embrasure bunker but if it's there it's obviously without the turret (but with empty opening).

There's a ton of things in the files relating to scrapped ideas or ideas that are (possibly) in the works.

 Will we see a Omaha Walthrough video?

 Also, can the Croc's flame reach the bunkers from the beach?

 There are 2 Croc's on the beach right?

Crocodiles? On my Omaha? It's more unlikely than you think (as they were on Gold, Juno & Sword). Only Sherman DD's were available for tonk support.

EDIT 2: Murrikans were offered the use of any of the Hobart's Funnies, but they refused all except DD. Lesson learned, they accepted Croc support after the landings, especially in Battle of Brest (hint, hint).

Churchill Crocodiles were not used in the city of Brest, they used them to storm fortifications around the city.
