To all you pro modders out there: Plzzzzzz make it so the axis have some sort of protection against snipers while in their bunkers, or just keep the allies from using sniper rifles on the beach.
It ruins it, I mean come on, the whole point of that map is making it past the beach. Its no fun without MG42s bullets flying by your head and teamates dropping by your side.

Well, I guess you want to rain MG42 down on the Allies on the beach, with no chance of getting killed from return fire. Is that what you want...???? Sheesh...

ohhh, i see your one of those who go and hide in the boats and JUST aim at the bunkers huh. No, i prefer the allied side, i think it would be cooler to have a challenge and have to crouch behind every X, like in SP

you don't need a sniper rifle to take out the guys manning the mg's in the bunkers. I agree there should be no sniper rifles used by the allies. And there should be sniper rifle limits to those on the axis. It totally defeats the purpose of this map. I think the axis should have the advantage on the beach. Then once allies make it in, it's pretty equal. I've notice that allies usually get together and attack together once there inside which gives them a bit of an advatage.

Why is there all this fuss about Omaha sniping? I really don't see the big issue here with Axis sniping on the Axis side of it all. The Allies can just do the same thing from the beach. Remember it's a WWII type of game, so are we going to modify it for silly reasons such as this for a bunch of whiners? Should we all just play in godmode to compensate? I dont think so and its weak/cowardly to cheat. Furthermore it's not that difficult to move up to the shingle to the bunkers.

All I here is complaining and no mention of Teamwork. That is the essential key in these this type of gameplay. You can't just Rambo and think your gonna make it in by yourself. You have to work as a TEAM, like a buddy system; stick with someone that knows how to play and backup him/her. I'm not Mr. badass but I do know what is to work as a team. Quite complaining about a problem that really doesn't exsist and for all of you that make this such a complaint are a bunch of NOOBS and want the easy way out. Take this as a challenge and play the game like it was meant to be!

Where do you think I got my name? Come and get some if you dare!!!

Being really close to the big 60,I grew up with vets and all the war stories.

I called my brothers father-in-law tonight as he is a Normandy landing vet,also was at the Battle of the Bulge at Bastoine and afterwards assigned to Pattons' Army to finish out the war.

This is what he said:

Snipers: Anybody in a tree or alone in a building and shootin at you was a sniper.
None of the rifles by the body had scopes,in fact he never saw a scope on a rifle at any time during the war.

Shotguns: Never saw or heard of anybody using a shotgun,Allies or Axis. He said he helped clear out a lot of towns too,no one used a shotgun.

Rocket Launchers: His Company had one bazooka and they used it alot.As for the Germans they used the Panzerfaust alot if they had them.

Mr. Hughes said the hedgerow country was tough but he never was so cold in his life as he was at Bastoine.

after playing omaha more ive come to realise how pointless it is for the allies to snipe at all

so you kill an axis, what now? he respawns very close to where he died.

what exactly was accomplished? nothing really.

ive seen like 4 allies sniping. thats 4 less bodies joining the fight.

allies have to fight uphill axis fight downhill. allies need as many bodies going uphill as they can get.

allied snipers lose the game for the allies.

I'd like to keep this at the top for awhile

To fix this sniper problem have all the begaining starting points for the axis by the bunker machine guns. This way the beach will be covered by bullets like the real thing. In real life the axis were already on their guns shooting so lets do that in the MP game

no ALL the allied spawns should be at the shingle once its been breached.

that way once the lame allied snipers die they are at the shingle and not camping a boat.

still if youre an allied DONT SNIPE you arent helping your team.

tormentor-lets keep this game as realistic as possible. I think the whole fun of this map could be the realism factor. When u get on an mg, your instanlty dead. Whats the point of even having them up there if u can use them? U actually think it's a good thing to have 10 guys sitting in boats and the water plucking off mg's? I mean It's one thing to make a good shot on someone and it's another thing to pluck off mg'ers the second they start using them.

Sniper this Sniper that
what the hell

Its a game
Look @ the real world..
someone is always ready too snipe you
@ the real world....
you have a good job high pay and someone below you is just waiting for you to messed up, so he can take your job and you end up with no work..(get the Picture)

Yes,
Omaha map should be limit too 2 sniper (Axis) 2 sniper (Allies)
but hey its just teamwork
and don`t show your face too much while in the bunkers..
Hope that the Next patch would limit 2 snipers

So Relax and play...

Peace!

If some guy thinks he's "johnny cool" and sits back with a snipe, more power to him. One less ally I have to worry about tearing his guts out.

excelsior

Guys and Gals, I think by now everyone knows it's a game. But how about out of respect for the the troops that did make the landing,don't you think we could at least play this one map for them?

Not every one will but I know a lot will and haveing a few servers support the idea is not going to kill the game.

The modders will have thier hands full even if any of them agree to try and do it.

The single play beach gives me chills and is the best map as far as i'm concerned and should be. Thanks 2015

CA: I was just reading your thread about some of us gettin another map to play or just leaveing.

Since when does anybody have to get your permission to work up a map with alittle more realism?

No one is going to take your lollypop away from you are they?Just calm down and find a server that plays it the way you like it.

The only true whineing I hear is comin from your trap.
