Hello everyone!

I am currently working on an Omaha Beach map for Call of Duty 2. I know that the one already released isn't that accurate and I am trying as hard as I can to get mine as accurate as it really was in real life.

Here is a picture of the beach that I am working on and i have the hedgehogs set up also. A am also up for opinions, constructive criticism, and ideas for the map to make it better. Please tell me what you think so far! Direct Link to picture Here!

hey , nice work

but , to make it accurate , you wouldnt have all the tripod-thingys(name?) so neat and tidy , would make landing too easy. scatter them out and place some in water

other than that so far its vn

Extra Feature: At spawn you will ride to shore on a boat!

Nice dude
I would find a way do get rid of the sniping!!!that is a pian on omaha

Here is an update of the shore. I doubled the width and i have moved the "tripod-thingies" so they don't look so neat and I added more hedgehogs. Direct Link for picture Here!



Extra Feature: Sniping will be harder since their will be multiple weather effects, Fog, Rain, and a Night version. Also sniping will be much harder since you come in on higgins boats and the germans will have time to get on the mg's to rain fire down on the charging americans!

Stupid question: Were the higgins boats launched off of a larger ship?

yes they were, the carring boats and the invasion army took the heavy loss, that we see now from history, as you might seen Saving Private Ryan, a huge batalion of ships ,and cargo ships with tanks, soldiers, and supplies, took over the beaches of frence, and went out with the invasion of the land, saving frence and paris from germans in couple of days, if you didnt see the movie, i strongly incourage you to rent it, you might see some cool stuff that you could use for your map.

As i have just figured out. The "tripod-thingies" are supposed to be facing the opposite ways to make the boats flip/stop completely as they slide up them. Also here is up to you guys. In SPR you see as they rush to a little hill in the beach. and there are mines in them and they use somthing to blow them up (forgot what they are called). But i could put those there and you press -USE- (F) to blow up the mines or i could just make it so that the mines blow up if a grenade blows up nearby on them. Whats your vote?

For the Stick Strategy = I like stick strategy :D
Grenades! = Nades all teh way!

I once saw this documentry about the landing.

In there was an old man talking.

He was a young untrained lad of just 17 serving in the German army that day at da beach.

He was operating a MG from above. For hours and hours till his munition ran out and he never got 1 single bullet back.

And so single handed he killed most of all Allied soldiers coming out of the water. So we talking big numbers here.

He told it was even simpler then Nitendo's Duck Hunt. Because situation made it that he never missed one.

What a story ay? And they showed the authentic film-clips made from German side.

ummmmm......thanks for the history lesson?

As for the map itself, ultimately try to add smoke fx, etc....it will add to the atmosphere and also add a bit of cover for gameplay, regardless of the true history. If you want real, then make sure most ppl die when they leave the boat....I'm sure that'll make for alot of fun gameplay

Good stuff, keep up the work!

also collect some old photos from internet. They give you the best situation during the landing in 1944.
