~ LENINGRAD ~ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Finally, a rare treat for the modding community: a full custom-made single player map, for Call of Duty 2. Single Player maps for COD2 can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Hopefully, this one will give a helping hand by encouraging other modders to do the same. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ AUTHOR: Babycop NAME: Leningrad MAP: Single Player TYPE: Historical SIZE: Large BUILD TIME: 3 months ____________________________________________________________________________________________ CONTEXT: Less than two and a half months after Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Red Army was outflanked. On September 8, 1941, the Germans had fully encircled Leningrad. The siege began. The city's almost 3 million civilians refused to surrender and endured rapidly increasing hardships in the encircled city. Despite the fact that the Germans never set foot into Leningrad, at least 600 000 to 800 000 people died of starvation, an unusually cold winter, and enemy bombardment. A Soviet counter-offensive started in the morning of January 12, 1943. After fierce battles, the Red Army units overcame the powerful German fortifications. A year later, in January 1944, a Soviet offensive drove off the besieging Germans from the outskirts of the city. The 900-day siege finally ended. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ MISSION: During the 1943 counter-offensive, you and your fellow soldiers take part in a large scale offensive to dislodge the Nazi army from its position at one end of the city. From the destroyed and burning city of Leningrad, you will make your way through the open ground of the city's outskirts to overcome the enemy blockades, destroy the flak and mortar positions, and drive off the invaders to help uplift the siege. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES - squad-based battles - immersive atmosphere (breathtaking look on the burning city from afar) - numerous effects - patriotic musical score (including 'The Hunt for Red October') - speaking AI and animations - a 20 to 25 minutes average gameplay time ____________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION 1. Open the Leningrad.zip file 2. Extract the "Leningrad.iwd" file into your "Call of Duty 2\main" directory 3. Start COD2 single player, open console and type: "map leningrad" 4. Kick ass ____________________________________________________________________________________________ KNOWN BUGS - If the map does not end, kill yourself and redo the last objective, it should work the second time around. - Decal textures may look brighter than surrounding terrain. - Lighting may define the line where certain terrain patches meet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ SPECIAL THANKS Tremendous effort and time was put into this project.
