We want to make it bigger for sure, but problem is... We need to get approved by the PR devs for that & also gotta know how xD..

Its not just a simple setting you put to 128 mate

He means player count I think.....

Personally I think that rally points need to be implemented, because having to bring a new boat (2 min travel time) every time someone dies kills the gameplay a bit.

as soon as Objective "Dog" is captured there will spawn a cargoship, of which the US can spawn on. On the cargoship there is several land vehicles. Jeep, Truck etc..

So In reality, the boats are only needed to capture the coast line, after the ship has spawned, its all down to you really.

Hope this puts a note to your suggestion

Yes he means player count, I mean map size.

Well you know, PR's 4km maps play ok with only 64 players. Since the mod/beta is released we never reached 64, we have to see how it is first. 2km isn't big with PR gameplay.

Don't forget that after capping the beach, the map become a bit more PRish, with FOBs, rally, and long walks. That will be awesome to hide in fields and ambush PZIIIs, in a big map instead of a smaller one like Libesey for exemple.

Thanks for the feedback. While the map is meant for 100+ players, it should play OK for 64 as well. The Germans don't have to defend a 2km beach on the 64 player layer and the US only has 3 places to attack.

With the server crashing unfortunately, we haven't seen much public play after the frontline flags have been capped. And once the US capture Dog, they get goodies and can build firebases and such. Rallypoints are available to squad leaders at all times as well.

Perhaps the 64 layer needs a change, but I want to see how this plays out first .

How would I go about testing this with bots in a locally hosted game?

[Pvt.LHeureux]

The map does not support bots, well I guess so. Otherwise you can try it alone..
