Leifhv: The people in these camps were not members of any military force

Leifhv: Yes, of course there were some people from armed forces there.

Leifhv: …‘light hearted’ action shooter like ET.

Duck hunt = light hearted action shooter
Enemy Territory = bloody WW2 game

Leifhv: So when I play a war game I’m prepared to see ‘acts and locations of war’.

good

Location: Poland (where WW2 stated) Invaded by Germany on Sept 1, 1939 in a surprise attack, vanquished 35 days later due to superior German forces, Soviet attacks that started on Sept. 17th, and France backing out of an agreement to declare war on Germany should Poland be attacked.

Leifhv: Nobody can stop you of from creating this map if you really want to but please keep your project out of this forum.

What gives you the right to censor me?

Different people have different tolerances. Some would find the game ET itself to be offensive because it depicts war/killing/dismembering etc…

The idea of creating such map is better from creating maps with UFO, but change the map to “ressurection from auschwitz” and u will have the atmosphere from war, not from the drama…

Ah yes, I remember that when I worked with 2bit on his last map “Operation Chariot” he wanted it to be as historically correct as possible, he even added a “medal system” that gave you a medal depending on how well you performed. The allies would get stuff such as the victorian cross, while the axis would get nazi medals.

I felt split when we discussed this topic.
I wanted it to be as historically correct as possible. But I did not want to alienate the axis players by having them recive nazi-medals while knowing what they stood for.

I kinda feel the same way with this map. Holocaust is something which we must not forget, but how many axis players would want to play on this map? I know that if I were an axis on the map, I would either just stand still or just go spectate. But that is just my .02 thrown in.
