That would be an interesting one.

Re: What Normandy map would you like to appear most in FH2 ?
 

The maps i'd most like to see in the Normandy theater release would be:

1) Omaha beach done as accurately as possible (WITH flamethrowers :p).

2) An airborne map which would be based on the Band of Brother type of thing.

3) Carentan. Open fields leading to a city-style map. Close quarter fighting once you get across the fields.

4) Hedgerows. As accurate as possible.

Why are people suggesting Battle of the Bulge maps as part of the Normandy release?!

Pegasus - with BF2's infantry engine I think it'd be much, much more intense.
House to house in Caen - see above
Proper Hedgerows Map™
Juno Beach - if only to be able to fight my way up a contested beach with a Lee Enfield, and against something other than big faceless bunkers (the maps of Juno I've seen all sport converted houses and occasional pillboxes rather than SPR style bunkers)

Six months ago, I was on Juno beach with the 79th.

It's a flat beach, with a small dune (about 20-25m) and small ports not so much defended (some 88 and 5cmKwK.

But the beach's bunkers (set on the exits in the dune) are bigger than simple pillboxes. Blockhaus for observation, artillery and machine guns, cubes with 15m sizes. According to our canadian guide, the main fights and losses were for these bunkers, nades and SMGs first, then explosive charges.

Tankers would also have something to do since Canadian tanks were landed at Juno and actually made it to the beach =p

Wow, great pictures Sgt-D, thanks for posting them! I can definitely see the devs making good use of them if they indeed do choose to make a Juno Beach map.

Awww, you took a pic of a Lafette for me....:love:


But seriously, great pics. I really wish I could get a chance to go to those bunkers.... Here in LA we got a coastal fort, but most areas are blocked off....

Re: What Normandy map would you like to appear most in FH2 ?
 

Do you have any picture of Bernières-sur-mer, Sgt. D?

Re: What Normandy map would you like to appear most in FH2 ?
 

I quite like the model setups and the angle view from this pic, are they from your own private collection, Sgt-D ?
