• Toaster: Destroy an enemy Universal Carrier or halftrack with a full load of passengers.

The new map "Fallen Heroes" is a brutal combined arms battle set on the iconic "Red Square" in downtown Stalingrad. Developed by Tripwire for the initial release as the set piece Russian counterpart for the popular Konigsplatz map, the map didn't make the cut and was shelved for the past three years. Some months ago the map was passed off to award winning community mapper Kevin "Dr. Guppy" Butt to complete. Resurrected by a fan, for the fans, this excellent addition to the RO map line up is being released for free with this update for anyone with RO:Ostfront.

Don't be so sure. There are specific requirements.

you guys figured it out really fast to hide the "view game info" when you all were testing to not let too many figure out the addition of the new map

everything looks great....cant wait to see servers filling up with players for the new map and the achievements!!!!!

We are getting a brand new map for FREE that is a pretty good update any other company would have trying to get more cash out of us.

"Whack-a-Mole: for killing tank commanders with his head out of the turret hatch."

Looking forward to this one
Wish there were more objective-based acheivements though, would fit in with my cap-ho' playstyle

Still, the fact TWI still updates the game after almost three (!) years is completely amazing, thank you guys, you rock!

 

[Crusher]

I have high hopes for the new map, I missed the custom made Red Square map from the mod. It was one of the best maps.

New map looks really good. Iam not so puzzeld about the archivemnts because some numbers look rather easy to obtain. Will see how that turns out. Good job in adding new stuff !!!

 

[Dumba [cro]]

Don't care about the achievements, but they dont seem detrimental to the gameplay, so no probls.

Thanx for the new map.
