this is what omaha beach and beachs of nothern frances looks like
Why some people like to refer the D-Day map as Omaha beach? Did dev specify this anywhere?
Oh yeah, I’m sure every player would drool in pleasure for the absolute fidelity of the map to the real deal, while being shot to pieces in the middle of a 200m flat board with no cover whatsoever.
Look, I will be devil’s advocate here and say that, if we block vehicle spawn (for both sides) until after the second objective I think it could be worked on.
I mean, they could make it look similar-ish but in a smaller scale.
Personally I don’t like this map as it resembles nothing, plays meh/badly and doesn’t make sense most of the time.
The closest we currently have to those pics is Ver-Sur-Mer, and as far as I played it (haven’t been there since a while) if Germans had half a decent team the US could rarely even take the 1st bunker on the beach.
And this despite that bunker having an absolutely idiotic layout, fully closed with a single firing point facing sideways.
I have no idea how accurate Saving Private Ryan’s Omaha Beach scene is to the actual historical beachhead, but regardless I’m pretty sure the developers were trying to copy that Omaha Beach.
As for the other beachheads, aside from Juno which looks a lot like Ver-Sur-Mer, the other landings faced far less resistance.
Doesnt sound worse than Wehr-Macht-Kenobi using high ground to spawncamp the Allies plus the annoying people who nest themself on top of those godforsaken cliffs to snipe-annoy.
Not very realistic, there were no steep cliffs as often portrayed in games, serious CoD 2 had like 50m high cliff climb.
That was all the imagination of American media to cover up the pointlessly high losses suffered at the landings because they landed right in the front of the bunkers.
British warned Americans to use commando units to secretly mark the good landing areas the night before but I guess arrogance won over reason.
Im not sure how much of the Enlisted map is based on reality, the beach itself seems like it might have been based on pictures, the rest are just probably fan service.
We have the pictures of Robert Capa
There kinda is some elevations after the beach, but the main difference seems to be that the beach is shorter on Enlisted
CoD 2 did the landing at Pointe Du Hoc, I’ve been there and it’s exactly like that game shows. Stop spreading misinfo.
However, the “D-Day” map we have is still terrible, not at all realistic.
People complain about “yeah real fun to get mowed down on the beach” well that’s how it was and games like Hell Let Loose/Forgotten Hope 2/Red Orchestra have recreated the Normandy landings in their games and they are some of the most popular maps.
I’d argue that geting slaughtered on the beach is part of the experience.
Of course, within reasonable limits.
I dont recall getting slaughtered on the beach. If anything it was the trenches on the cliff top lol.
Yes, Dieppe raid was a complete and utter failure but it served as an important lesson.
The experience gained from it allowed operation Husky and Overlord to be successful.
That place is literally the only exception, while it is real the battle that took place there was limited (400 men on both sides) but in CoD 2 its portrayed as the main landing force with armoured counter attacks from Germans.
Complete bullshit, Im not spreading miss information, you let yourself be fooled by the media.
look at the early war in the desert the British sat on there hands , save for when they chased the Germans into traps
im just saying there more then one way to fight
that’s arromanches - which makes it Gold Beach
I feel like arromanches is the best bet because of the elavation on both sides, and the fact it’s right next to Vur-ser-mer
Omaha beach fox red, has the steep inclinations of the d-day map which could be another contender?
Last choice would be Les Moulins perhaps, it’s got that elevation on both sides again.
Too wide for fox red, so I’m sticking with les moulins
