The scheldt, Lyon, Hochwald cap, Achelous river...those were the maps that tested the true "skill" of the players! ( i think COH 2 needs those maps to bring back the nostalgia of COH 1. Keepo)

Every single one of those was an original automatch map. No joke.

When you think about that, it is kind of amazing COH was the success it was.

Don't remember the name, it was some sort of prison facility with a big clusterfuck in the middle of the map surrounded by guard towers and barbed wire for 4v4s.

And the top-hand side had about 50 buildings and one fuel point so germans always put 10 mgs in those buildings

I think you are talking about Montargis. Still played in 4v4auto (yes, that is still a thing in COH1) but they must have changed the map. The top is now a +5 muni with 2 x +10's next to it. So you go top for muni, center for fuel.

Was he OKW? or was this a custom game?

Do you still have the replay?

Cheats I can safely say don't exist for coh2.

Is it confirmed that maphacks don't exist? I know there can be no resource cheats as those would cause a sync error.

Sarantini:
This may be a dumb question but how would you exactly escape from concentration camps like Auschwitz?



There were many accounts of escape from death camps, concentration camps, and satellite labor camps. They were not significant as a percentage of prisoners and forced laborers, which numbered in the millions.

For example, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, in its database on each survivor account has a criteria for tags labeled "Other Experiences" and under my uncles it lists: "Prisons" (perhaps a reference to the Gestapo HQ in Lyons, "Concealment of Jewish Identity", and "Escape from the camps". IOW it was certainly a thing.

I know I have heard some in my time. (I knew a lot of survivors, in fact now that I think on how the US only allowed some 150,000 to enter after WWII, the number I knew or encountered seems huge, being in the 3 figures. But then I grew up in NYC.) In one, the mother of a friend had been left for dead in a not-yet-filled pit of bodies from which they escaped overnight. They had to lie still for hours among the dead until the opportunity to flee came. Many of those survivors then had a second challenge, to escape not just recapture, but to escape being killed by civilians in the area, even if they were in occupied territories like Poland and the Ukraine.

There is also an upcoming special on PBS about the rebellion and mass escape from Sobibor. http://www.pbs.org/program/escape-nazi-death-camp/

Some survivors never spoke of how they escaped. That includes my uncle. But perhaps he did in the end. I just found that there is a multi-hour interview of him at the USHMM and I have ordered a copy.
