BF1942 - Carentan
A small city map that supports conquest, ctf and tdm.
Thanks for downloading Carentan!
---------------------------------------
**NOTE**
this is not a mod! it is a single map RFA
which can be thrown into the mix with every
other bf map compatible with both bf and rtr

---------------------------------------
loosly based on the carentan episode from band of brothers.
i really like the tight city maps like berlin and stalingrad
and the infantry squad based battles
but wanted more from it. so i made a small city map.

out the top floor window of a building and crossing the roof
of a house and then up a ladder
-ample stationary mg's placed at each flag 'base'
-many shortcuts and different routes around the city
-symmetrical design for balance purposes

-i spent endless hours roaming about, i guarantee

HUGE THANKS!:
-rexman
-mr perfect
-socketman
-prezident
-madbull
-chimera
-and anyone over at the bf1942.com forums
(or anyone i didnt mention)
you guys all rule and are a fountain of knowledge!
this map (or any other for that matter), would not
have been possible without all your amazing tools,
utilities, tutorials etc. thank you
oh and special thanks to my cousin and fellow clan member
=[NASF]=Crazy Cook for helping me test it out a million
times...you rule!
----------------------------------------
EXTRAS:
-im gonna give directions to the roof flags because my
tester found it difficult to find...bah! what a loser.
when you first spawn (us or german) walk straight down
the road in front of your base towards the crates.
to your right you will see the building used on the
stalingrad map- proceed to the top floor and hop out
the back window. walk across the roof and then up the
ladder...voila!
-the statue in town square is infact...a control point! yup
thats right, a control point...you wont see the flag cause its
hidden inside the statue..same with the 2 houses (east and west)
the flags are sticking out of the roof but are capturable
from the inside. i thought it to be more realistic that way.
yknow like a house with a flag on top...lol
-when navigating on the roof and hopping out of windows
or off of roofs be sure to use the WALK key...shift by default
this will save you from getting injured by the
"im a hardened soldier but cant jump 5 feet" bug. you should
already be in the habit of using it anyways.
