Great map design!

I agree if you are a German machine gunner, sniper or a tanker. Everyone else is there to be shot at.

i know most people hate this map but all these maps you see in HLL are real life locations almost made 1 to 1 through setallite images.
this is the thing i really love about HLL to see how these battles might have looked like thats why i dont think i have ever criticize the maps in HLL

Where can I find an original map of the battlefield? It feels they shrinked the battlefield of El Alamein so it fits within the map borders and thats the reason why it has the hated Battlefield-vibe.

it was a feature of HLL to design the game maps with real maps of the locations where the fights took place back then.

there is of course some designer freedom, has to be to make it playable, but the new maps arent that close to the nearly precise normandie maps anymore.
i checked out Driel and there are some things that dont realy fit to the maps you can find on the net. it is close to but not as acurate as befor.

as for egypt... well it was expected that it would look like this, open dessert, some rocks to hide and actualy a map for tanks, like kursk.
but i thought they would make a map of el alamain ^^ that was a train station close to the coast in the north - there is no train station or even tracks on this map - looks like pure fiction.

while Driel is as playable as the older maps where, that dessert is quite dissapointing - the should have started with other locations like tobruk or so.

There should be a heavy use of smoke on this map. I assume the artillery has at least a reasonable amount to expend.

900 hours and thinking about uninstalling, Useless maps, lots of bugs, terrible optimization...they kill the game..make it for 14 year old CS people..

If you're Germans sure it's tons of fun, had a game as Sniper where I got 85 kills(using the FG42 even) and my Spotter got 40-something. British suck hard though and I will leave a server if I have to be them.

It's a great map for teams that are flexible and mobile

I just played my first round on El Alamein. It looks great and the map feels very interesting and different. The uniforms etc. are just wrong, though. I didn't find it too open. Lots of folds in the ground, so just don't expose yourself on the ridgeline like a proper little soldier.

limiting the 1 shot distance has really given way for the 10 yr olds, run in the open, its fine they cant 1 shot you anymore......game needs to turn around and go the other direction.
