Operation Diversion: The Battle for Burha

During Operation Market Garden, a small Allied force diverted from the main assault to capture the town of Burha, left with little damage and still standing, to divert attention away from the key Cities of Arnhem and Hanover. The Germans have misinterperated the diversion as a full out attack and have sent a force to stop the Allied Advance.

Capture all 5 flags to capture the town of Burha

First person to find the easter egg to play the special song gets a prize. :D

And yes, this map is definately aimed with clan wars in mind, 5 flags, using layout ideas from the successfull clan war maps harrington and railroad. Ive had plenty of play tests with some top clanners from australia, and tweaked the layout to be a very effective war map.

We play Adrenalin4 on our server. Very fun map. :) Just curious but why the Jurassiac Park music? That gets more "WTFs" than anything else.

I'll definitely check this map out soon.

hehe. Because i hate the default victory music, and i always stopsound it after 1 second, and i didnt want to do to same thing with my custom maps, and i wanted to give the victorious team some inspirational music that people wont stopsound straight away. But thats not the special tune in the easter egg, that ones even better! like i said, first person to find it gets a prize.









disclaimer: no real prizes guaranteed.

what botters me about maps with this skybox is that the sun is behind the coulds, tho all of these maps are always covered with sunshine instead of shadow :p nice map tho ;) we need more holland maps :D I liked adrenalin4 a lot so I think I'll like this one as well ;)

I concur this map is great. Great layout, great architecture, great use textures, and great fps, I love it. And for the record I like diversion more than adrenalin.

Hopefully the US and Euro clan community realize the potential of this map and atleast try it in pre-season.

I have yet to find the easter egg, though unzipping the file I saw a darkwingduck sound file ;x.

We just ran a BFE map test, and this was one. It pretty good and and with all the routes, I think we are going to use this map in the next upcoming Battle for Europe campaign.

And it looks great too :)

i agree with Howitzer...

Great layout, great architecture, great use textures, and great fps and it plays very well against bots... pure pfun :D

here is my tribute to this fantastic map..

DoD_Diversion Sturmbot 1.6 Waypoints

- bots capture all the flags
- bots use different routes
- lots of sniper- & guard-spots for both teams

Played really well today, we had everything from clan-style 6v6 to full pub/BFE style 10 on 10 and it worked beutifully for both.

Only comment is that the allied spawn is a huge pain in the butt, while the axis spawn seems to flow alot better.

Thanks for all the comments fellers, im pretty happy that its even being considered fro BFE, and it would be ab honour to have my map participate in it.

The map was a big hit on our server last night. Not very often do I see a brand new map where everyone on the server enjoys it. Most of the times you have a small vocal minority that hates it, or some ppl grow to love maps. This one is a winner out of the box.


(Although I did hear some grumblings from the snipers)

This map is insanely dynamic. It is impossible to camp (safely) and very fast paced. Definately not a sniper/mg map. I think the center flag could be a tad longer to capture in order to give some order to the chaos but otherwise it is an awsome map. :)

I need to find that bazooka...
