Aegean Islands

[Thorondor123]

But that's hardly a commando operation, more of a direct assault.

But now you are just confusing the Commandos with SAS, LRDG or SOE

Would Kefalonia be acceptable as an Aegean Island? Probably not as it's an Ionian Island.

But, it's Italy vs Germany

I would love to see Kefalonia, or Leros.  Leros would be a fun one, being that it was one of the last big German victories of the war, as well as the last major German airbourne operation.

And speaking of Italy v Germany, would love to see a map about the First Motorized Combat Group in combat at Monte Lungo in 1943 during the Cassino campaign, or the Italian Liberation Corps in 1944 at Cassino.

All that said, the FH2 dev team is a bit busy with other things...don't expect to see maps like that for a lonngggg time.

And the good news is we'll be playing it (for 9 hours) on WaW (www.bfewaw.com) in a bit over a month

This is the coolest thing ever

Damn that is sexy
As a mainly SP player, I try not to get my hopes up about ever seeing these WaW maps with SP support, but if only

Time to turn for MP then. You obviously got internet, so what's the problem?

[titsmcgee852]

SP is easier, sometimes I like to fuck around and climb mountains and such without the expectation that I have to be a 'team player' that, and my ping is also always ridiculous.

People shouldnt release these kind of maps like, many people would die.


Its too much awesomness in one place, Germans and Italians, FIGHTING EACH OTHER?!


Shit man.

That sounds just like an average pubbie player, so don't worry, you'll fit right in

[titsmcgee852]

There's still the ping problem maybe I'll just learn how to navmesh, haha

hmhh..

Map really looks interesting! I love the setting, Italians vs. Germans! wohoo! Brilliant idea!
Also map looks great!

However there is ONE BIG BIG thing i really hate (yes hate - sorry for the harshness)!
Please - for the love of god - when you map an island dont minituarize it!

Kefalonia is the 2nd largest Ionian island, 30*40 km large and with 40k inhabitants. Now on this map it is scaled down to 1*2 (? guessing) km, it looks like small sandhole!

This is a (imho) very very bad "habit" from FH1/BF42 (see wake, iwo jima, guadalancal (!!)) etc.

So please the next time you make an island map (which in general is a cool idea) just make a PART of the island! (eg. as Sfakia on crete)

Other than that (as mentioned above) nice ambiance and interesting setting!

[Paasky]

Well then you should love my Sicily & Baleares maps :p



(Note these were both made around the FH2.0-2.1 era so they don't look very nice)

Thing is, I like making maps from real world height-data, but unfortunately those come at a resolution of ~90m (aka one pixel = the average height of a 90m x 90m block of land) so the land area has to be at least 92.25km to get proper height maps for a 2km x 2km map. The only 1:1 map I've done is of Walmington-on-sea, the fictional English town in Dad's Army.

I like my maps to have variety in their terrain which I find makes them more fun to create & play.
