I'm blown away by the beauty of this new batch of maps. Cherry trees and sloping vinyards at Arnhem, massive industrial pipe structures and rusty run-offs at Gelsenkirchen, the huge shipbuilding yard at Hamburg... I see that so much work was put into making new buildings and interesting architectural elements for these maps. They also feel like WW2 and Germany under the grip of the National Socialists.

I was just in Munster and I was reading about the history of that area as a place where chemical weapons were developed and it's some gnarly stuff. Somehow the map at Gelsenkirchen evokes this kind of frightening factory where some nasty shit is being developed. Just a fantastic map. KUDOS to the designers.

Relic, who do we have to thank for these? I wish there were credits somewhere that said who worked on which maps.

Thank you. Was feeling the same. Great work by relic. Highly apreciated.

Though difficult to play, I really love the atmosphere of Düsseldorf. Feels like a true german city in nazi germany towards the bitter end.

Gelsenkirchen is a bit clusterfucky but looks good and as soon you can bring down some walls it becomes quite decent.

And Across the Rhine could be one of the best 2v2 maps.

Dusseldorf
Pretty stalingrad version of 2v2 with central point church garrison resistant to nuclear explosions
You won't be picking anything out of that building with normal nades/molos.

No, that was also what I was thinking.

But whatever I put into it, it got killed quite rapidly by motar fire. So maybe it's not that bad...

the maps are really balance design and great to play it give the player more time to plan they move its more " friendly action environment" easy to use cover its a true key to brit offensive play taking some building in a good position but the vps are well set and the maps it self its beautiful!
