I've just been informed this behavior is a known phenomenon. Guess we've been lucky. I'm going to see what I can do deal with it. No further comment on this
is needed here.
Just a note, I played this again on an aussie server with 32 players last night. We had a surprising number of complaints!
The Russians never got passed the trenches, and that lead to much frustration on that side. There needs to be more incentive for the SLs to work together, to get as much smoke out on the field as possible. Also the spawns after capturing A/B should probably be moved up to those logs, to lower the amount of thinking the attackers have to do when managing stamina (don't want to overheat their brains do we now?).
Also, it really shows the need for halftracks!
everytime i try and download from server when i connect to it it gets to 5.5% and then it says something like file not found or whatever. It wont finish the download.
What happened was this: Upon connection to the initial "custom map" connection page, it became apparent that the connection was timing out. So I would hit the F10 key to abort. Upon doing that, an error message would a appear describing a failure of the program to find one or more elements of a "Package" file.
The problem isn't with this map. It happens on other custom maps too, and Tripwire is aware and working to fix it.
Thanks Six but I don't know about that. I hope I didn't leave a big spanner under the hood.

Looking forward to trying this with people!
FYI, I loaded towards the end of a round as German and got stuck in the ground near the last objectives. Took some screenies to show where it is...
Overhead map for where I am
Looking back towards the bridge
Looking south/southeast
But at that position I was stuck and could only hip fire my primary weapon...couldn't even go to iron sights!
Like I said, this looks awfully pretty however and I try to round up some humans to try out this map...
