New map idea

I was watching the History Channel last night and found out something about the Omaha beach landing that I never knew before.

About an hour or so before the scheduled landing of the invasion allied rangers were sent on a mission to knock out 6 big guns. They had to land on a small beach and scale a 100ft cliff where the guns were supposed to be. Only, the guns weren't there anymore and the Germans knew they were coming. They fought their way up the cliff only to find the guns had been moved inland. So, they had to find the guns so they could destroy them. They found them about a mile and a half inland in an orchard and there were only 5 (one had been destroyed by allied bombing prior to the invasion). They were able to blow up the guns and only 90 of the 225 men that started the mission came back.

I was thinking that could be a cool 1st and second stage to a 3 stage map.

The first stage would be to land on the beach, get up the cliff and secure the bunker(s) where the guns were supposed to be.

The second stage would be trying to locate the guns and engaging the defending german troops and destroying the guns.

The 3rd stage could then be Charlie, only if the 2nd stage of the map was won by the Germans there would be much more lethal mortar fire for the allies making it more difficult to get up the beach and complete the objectives for that map.

I guess if the First stage were also won by the Germans then stage 2 would be skipped with stage 3 being the same as above, but maybe some additional advantages for the Germans (maybe more advanced spawn points or an extra objective for the allies to complete to win the map).

What do you guys think?

I think it is a good idea but you are supposed to put your ideas in the "Map Ideas" thread.

Point du Hoc? there is a crappy old map based on it. Its very old. I remember someone started a new and alright looking version of it, but I dont think if it was ever released or not. And yes, i would keep this in the Ideas threads.
