That looks awesome man! You've got quite a talent with Beachs man, Keep up the good work there, Lookin foward to whoppin some butt on this map!
One suggestion I have is in the first picture maybe add another house at the turn in the road towards the back.. thats about all I can think of for now though..

I have no idea what the teaser photo is but on the rest awesome job, great map. That trench line is the best iv ever seen, and the house in first link, great job really looks like a destroyed house. The maps great how it is but someone bound to ask this sooner or later, is there a beach? Don't take offense to that I like your map either way. The way the hedgerows and roads connect really brings out the feel of D-Day.
EDIT: just came to me, perhaps the teaser is the beach, well i saw a bunker and a trench line, but no water....

beach is in the works, there is a beach, and there is gonna be like an anti-tank wall as an objective to complete. the teaser photo is of a different map, i should post the recent pic, but you'll see it soon ;).. i can tell you its my 3rd beach map :p
im mapping on and off on about 6 different projects, that way, when i get bored of one project, i can go to another, then when im bored of that, i go back to my first, and in that cycle, the map will get finished... in theory :P

Will it be possible to have the landing craft get tossed around like a ***** who consumed too much alcohol?

This is merely a generic request but can there be some pipes playing in the background? :D I know they had people marching up the beach with nothing but pipes in hand and mouth. Would love to assault a beach whilst listenting to pipes ^-^

Looks nice, but a bit bare maybe...
Some of the granade craters could maybe be on the trenches
so the sides would be blown away making a "natural" walkway out of them?

yes there is a beach, i just didnt do ti yet because it was gonna be the easiest part. bagpipes? i dont know.. and i need ideas on objectives, the ideas i have so far are blow up one 88, blow up 2 mortars, destroy a german roadblock so vehicles can move inland...
spine: i did that to one section which u cant see

Block off main road of supplies by use of bazooka would be a neat idea.
Type of objectives to keep in mind:
Attack and defend
Search
Escape
Destroy
Capture
Steal
Transport
Hold and defend

and i might have to start dod_juno for those of you who dont know it was the beach taken over by the canadians on d-day. who were a part of the british army so it'd be another british beach map.:D

You are an artist man. Terrific Job.
Cant wait to put my hands on it. You show it, now finish it - quick.
Objectives...
- Get documents in house and call air attack by capturing (not destroying) a radio room.
- destroy one or two coastal guns
- destroy one or two tanks in the road.

Very nice... textures are from RTCW right? :D I know cos I nicked & modifed some for my WIP.
BTW, the pics I've seen of the beach, houses were pretty much on the shoreline, and its sort of town like (a la ANZIO, but more open, tho obviously HL can't do much of that).

Are those cliffs going to stay, I beleive Sword was open coastline, no real cliffs. I don't think there were really any proper cliffs except for Pointe du Hoc, the others were just bluffs.
Please make it so the attacking team has to actually push up. I am tired of beach maps where half the team camps on the beach while three guys run off and capture the objectives.
Looks promising though everything kinda blends together.
Good luck.

how about making it like sort of a gauntlet, were you have to destroy stuff to move on - like the anti tank wall - fx having to capture the trench to move on to 3rd objective...

The screens that don't work are down. The server is having technical problems and is being looked on right now. It isn't my fault. If you'd like to see the screens, PM me or IM me on the SN in my profile. I won't show any extra screens until it is nearly done. ;)
