Hmm hope you guys looked at the screenshots...
You only defend your base sector and you are also able to capture points on the map which you will lose very fast again :D.

But It could be played on any map (hopefully (expect Lyon and Best))

Ops sorry I mean except

Best = hardcore blocking & camping

same for Lyon. You could easily just repair the footbridge to the fuel point make a barracks and blow up the bridge again...

Yeah walki youre right, Lyon and Best are much too easy to defend, only blow up the bridges and wait until 15 minutes are over. Thats no challenge.

I didn't played on best yet(is it the same map that the mission on the campaign?), but imo lyon could work as a decent 'guinea pig' map, just for testing purposes (the few times i play on lyon is because of that); besides that I always use Angoville :).

My 2 cents on "custom maps" for this mode:

They should be "Brest Fortress" for Blitzkrieg Challenge and Zeelow Heights (or Prokhorovka) for Red Tide respectively.

Mappers, try these ideas ;)

Or how about a new, more defense-oriented Berlin map? perfect for a last stand on the Reichstag

I'm already working on it but for something different you'll see.

Well I can do that Berlin Map.. Road to Reichstag^^ (A road blockes by lot of debris and parts of destroyed buildings, a headquarter in the front of the reichstag, and the russians coming down the famous road "unter den linden").

Any map with destructable bridges would be great, Achelous River is also a great one, so is Seine River Docks.
