Wonderful map - Seems it would take over Sfakia for me in terms of that kind of warfare... Just hope it has bot-support..or will before the release

I must note though, there is no screenshot of the orchard that marked the German stronghold, or those perculiar trees that marked the street in both Pvt Allen and Gearbox's map... and I know they were really there

I do wish that 88 can lobe shells at least slightly so that it can pummel bots... I mean people all the way until its capture....

Any nebelwerfer?

Just stared at the new update screenies with "The presidents speech" track from the Day after tomorrow OSt playing in the background... a moment of aptness whilst the rest of the world prays for some cure or oinkment for swine flu.  An amazing looking map.  These places look so different, serene, without fighting.

The amount of detail on that map is just plain ludicrous. Puts up a fight against Lili's Tobruk and Sidi Rezegh in terms of small, endless details.

As others said before, it reminds me of Brother in Arms, except this is even better ofcourse. Awesome Natty!

Airplanes on this map for the Germans? Tanks?...I assume there is no planes at least. But panzers?

Let's just say it's not going to be a fun time to be an Amerrican when this map comes up during a rotation.

Yes you see New sandbags. You will see them on all new maps. we will not replace the African ones.

This is a Pushmap. People might remember the old FH1 map. The map starts with a long narrow Corridor where US Soldiers must fight there way to the Flak 18. When the US take the 3rd Pushflag the Map opens in a Wide area with the Ingouef Farm and the famous Apple Orchards.

You will not see any Vehicles but lot of Mortars, Sniper rifles and the Nebelwerfer. We constructed a Complex Spawn system on this map with advanced Spawns to make it as Enjoyable as Possible.

One thing you cant find in the News is that we make new Waterplanes for this map. It allowes, other as in BF2 Players to go Prone and crouch inside the Water. This is very cool and makes it possible to cross the Widly floated Fields ;)

And Yeah be prepared our News Box is filled with nice secrets. ^^

Me likey.  Seriously, if I could, I'd give Natty a hug.  I think this is by far the nicest looking of the 2.2 maps I've seen thus far.  Really looking forward to earning my own purple heart (but getting a few Germans first).

You know Natty, 6th FJR probably looted a lot of shiney Beretta smgs from the Italians... smgs that are already in the mod... that could be placed as, say, a pick up kit....
Seconded

Now, onto the playermodels!

Awesome  :).

And I agree with Mr. Uranium. All of the 2.2 maps are looking great so far, but this one is by far the best looking (of course I can't comment on gameplay :P). I was very impressed!

Woohoo for secret... I used to hate the fact that you couldn't prone in water in FH1... Nice to have that unasked question answered "Is there more water than we see in the screenies" and about the nebelwerfer....
