From Mr. Neutron;
Beta 2 of RO-Mannikkala is finally ready.
Download:
Get Mannikkala HERE (http://koti.mbnet.fi/~hjungman/Ro-mannikkala/RO-mannikkala_beta2.zip)
Changes in beta 2:
Redone some terrain west of the village.
Tweaked the spawn system:
Lowered the respawn times, so people spend more time fighting and less waiting.
Raised tanks respawn time.
Axis team now spawn more closer to their objectives
added an initial tank spawn with 2 tanks to axis team. This spawn is deactivated after 40 seconds.
Raised round timer.
changed the armament of the axis team. They now mainly use Russian weaponry to better reflect Finnish force.
added a sniper class to axis with un-scoped mn9130 rifle and binoculars.
Added artillery for both teams. Artillery also destroy tank barricades.
added panzerfaust pickups in the village, west position and axis last spawn.
added ammo resupply areas.
fixed the damaged roof in the buildings: now you can shoot and throw grenades through them.
fixed some "floating" vegetation and trees.
fixed typos in the name of the village in descriptions, objectives and map name.
and some minor others things I have already forgotten.Description:
The map is a combined arms map with two tanks for both sides. The Axis team will be defending 3 objectives. There are tank barricades, that can be destroyed by engineers and artillery, in the first objective to make the Soviet assault a little bit more tricky.
The map is based on a large battle fought in Tali-Ihantala area in Karelian isthmus on 6.25.1944-7.11.1944. In reality the battle was mainly fought between Finnish and Soviets (there were some Germans taking part too, mainly air support) but here the Axis team have to go as Finns.

I hope this new version have better balance than beta 1. I have not added more powerful tanks to the axis, instead the axis infantry will have more powerful anti tank capability. Axis team also spawns closer to objectives (especially the village) to make defense easier. I also increased the respawn time of the tanks to make infantry more important in this fight.
Again all your comments and suggestions are appreciated (and thanks for everyone who gave their thoughts about Beta1).
