Operation Hyacinth
Tunis
Siege of Giarrabub
Battle of Sfakia
Ramelle Neuville
Operation hyacinth - Forgive me if I sound bitter here, I'm just passionate about FH
but I'm always dissappointed when I see this loading up. You see,the first time I heard that awesome loading music I started to imagine all the cool sabotage shenanigans I was about to get up to. Like lightning raids in jeeps and chevys on the airfields and crawling on your belly to stab some poor sentry so you can plant that satchel on the train, But it never happens because it's just bloody conquest! And it's always just chaos on this map! The brits can only come from the west so bugger using the jeeps with all that AT camping and I always find the 3 flags in the town a complete and utter bastard to cap it all just makes me want to quit so hyacinth can just bugger off and die!
Tunis - This map is just the worst meatgrinder in the mod. If Zap brannigan was ever a commander in the British army this is how he would conduct the assault of Tunis. By sending wave after wave of his own men till their bodies blocked the barrels of the german's guns
That's how it feels when I play, there's just too much dying involved to capture a flag and it gets very repetative. Also I'd like to add I've very rarely seen brits make it all the way to the german HQ so no I would not miss Tunis if it went.
Siege of Giarrabub - Remember the release video for 2.15? The bit where you see the Aussies assaulting the Fortress with the Italians manning the wall trying to repulse them and then they start to use the grapple hooks to climb over? Well I do because when I saw it with that music playing in the background I thought "FUCK YES! that looks so fucking cool!" But it never plays like that!
It's just Italians mingling inside waiting for you to come in and then it just turns into awhackamole game of chase the flag cap garrhhhhh
Sorry I think I'm biased against it because I always seem to have the misfortune of joining a server and it's another map that I love, but just as I join it's end of round and the map changes to this..............
Battle Sfakia - This one isn't an awful map it's just personally not my kind of map. When I first saw it loading I had visions of the germans assaulting down the hills and completely crushing the brits. I dunno maybe my personal expectations were too high, but this kind of win is actually very hard to achieve and it's another one of those maps where you can end up flag chasing so for that reason it made my list.
Ramelle Neuville - I struggled to come up with a fifth, so I've opted for this one because I feel this could be a great map but is ruined by one thing. It looks like someone has thrown a bucket of flags at the map, they are just far, far too many. I honestly think it would be a lot better with a lot less flags to attack/defend in the town. Right now it can play a lot like a Normandy Tunis just my 2cents.
Have to show my support for mersa
I really like it and I generally prefer the big open maps too. I like maps that have a bit of everything I think that is what battlefield is best at
