Bloody Omaha - A Forgotten Hope 2 Update

[LuckyOne]

^ Eh it really depends... Usually the last third of the map (not really half) rarely sees action... But it happens, at times (usually when the defending team takes some time to get a decent defense going, then they either get steamrolled or make a last stand on the last few flags). In any case, you can always make the last few flags into 32p & 16p layers (as the devs  already tend to do).

Can't wait tp hit that beach! Looks like summer can't come faster!

First off, I'm gonna give a big hand to the devs for creating two beloved beach landing maps and making them both unique from each other. Also, putting strategic destructibility into good use with the AVRE and Bangalores (it seems)  

I love seeing the minimap and the tentative assets layout too, really brings new perspective to everything. The sector push scenarios sound good as well; once the 3 flags are capped, (which should be really hard) then the Americans get a chance to regroup and push on vierville. (with recon tank support which is awesome)

I'm curious as to the ticket and bleed balance tho. I'm assuming the American are gonna loose A LOT of tickets fighting to get those first 3 WNs on the draw. I just hope it's not too much to put them at an insurmountable disadvantage when they have to push on the town. I can see a lot of new people screaming "unbalanced" for the first few weeks on this map, but I trust the beta testers

Also, destroyer?! curious to see if its just for show, but I'm hoping we get to use the guns

Edit: out of curiosity, how long has this map been in the works? was this the one lobo was rumored to have started a looooong time ago? or did that never exist?

 Well this is a pleasant surprise. Thought we would never see this map. I wonder who changed the internal policy to allow this map to be released.

 These type of maps are great, but a few months after release, they become stagnant(see Falaise Pocket)as soon as players figure it out.


I'm still excited.




 Hope there is Commander Radio.....

in the beach landing phase the Americans get:
16 landing ships (I think) with 2 MMGs each
2 pickup mortars
2 pickup snipers
2 pickup M1919MMG
1 pickup flamethrower
1 cruiser ship with 4 127mm guns

Kit layout is the normal American Normandy one, but they get the springfield rifle in the scout kit and the M1928 Thompson for the NCO.

Germans have:
2 pickup K98k ZFs
1 pickup MG42 kit
2 pickup G41 kits
3 static MGs in open MG nests
2 static MGs in Bunkers
2 static Lafettes in open MG nests
2 static Mortars
1 5cm Pak38 in Bunker
1 7.5cm Pak40 in Bunker
1 5cm KwK38 in Bunker
1 H39 tank turret
2 FW190 flyovers

The Germans can only spawn with K98ks or MP40s.

After the beach is cleared, the Americans get 2 Stuarts to scout inland with. The Germans get some at guns and stielgranate guns inland.

This is soooooo good

How will you use Bangalore Torpedo to Omaha?

How will you use Bangalore Torpedo to Omaha?

It would be good if TS4Ever and Shake'n Bake could demonstrate it alongside presenting the map in overall in the next interview video.

Not so fast. We haven't seen any Soviet playermodels or East Europe maps yet.

Seems like some people still can't live with the fact that the next release won't contain Eastern Front...
But, if Devs said that there wouldn't be Omaha, I won't trust them anymore...

[Eat Uranium]

The next patch will not contain any Eastern Front maps, soldiers, vehicles or weapons.  As for content in the next patch, there are a couple more things to show you.

What kind of policy??

Aha! I was right.
