Obj Vemork Approach

The .MAP file has been added as an extra file on this map page! Review by: smartaiguy Vemork Approach This is an excerpt directly from the maps history section located in the readme file. This map is inspired by a real WW2 operation executed in February 1943 called Operation Gunnerside. Operation Gunnerside: 6 Norwegian elite soldiers in English uniforms parachuted over Hardangervidda, joined with the scouts, reached Ver, and approached the factory along the railroad tracks, an area that had no mines. While the rest kept guard, the demolitions team entered the heavy water plant and destroyed the heavy water cells. 900 kg of heavy water was lost (including production losses). Afterwards the scouts remained on the mountain, while the demolitions team went on skies into Sweden.. That well defined the historical part of the map. This map is an outside map, there are winding paths going through rolling hills in the snowy Rjukan, Norway. Trail markers will lead the Allies to the objective: Get past the Axis patrols to the factory to the south. This map offers several machinegun nests. There are some ruins for you to wait and ambush people. Also some large crates give you some cover in a few spots. Presentation / Technical This map features some well laid out LOD terrain. Good placing of LOD is critical to prevent a loss of performance, and to eliminate those pesky long range snipers. Also the well placed player clips eliminated those people try to get somewhere you dont want them to be. Also placing the trigger to kill people that get under the terrain, whether on purpose or by accident, was a brilliant idea! Also there is absolutely great FPS on this map! Playability / Game Flaws There really arent any flaws that I could find, except for the one known bug, where sometimes grenades and bazooka shells will go through the terrain and disappear. This has been documented in the readme file: Sometimes grenades fall through the terrain and disappear without a trace :S Conclusion In conclusion I do believe this was a well thought out and done map. It has great playability for the whole range of weapons. Excellent performance, playability, and good fun all around make this a good map! Used with the "scout" modifacation included it doubles the fun!
