During the development of the Omaha beach map, I've been coming closer and closer to a true WW2 mod. If you've beta tested Omaha before, you haven't seen anything yet. If you haven't tested, you're in for an experience. The mod will encompass several engaging maps in assault/defense tactics; from the charging up a battle-ridden beach acompanied by 8 allied players, hundreds of explosions, and thousands of bullets whizzing by your head or close trench combat, using tactical decisions, be sure, you are going to be kept on your toes throughout your time playing. This immersiveness is accompanied by accurately modeled, skinned, and animated weapons, vehicles, and scenery including statistically correct accuracy, rate of fire, damage, etc. It'll be an experience you're not likely to forget.

With this new ambitious anouncement, I've also decided that Omaha will be redisgned and remodeled, its simplicity is just a little too blatant, it will sate all the requests of the beta testers. All weapons in this mod will be developer-quality, hardly the BR in halo 2 CE (using as an example, not taking a shot at you). There will be no original halo weapons in this mod. All vehicles in this mod will be new. All vehicles will also be developer-quality. This mod will act as a complete separate installation from your other halo CE install, however, this will NOT bypass the cd key, as it will use the same registry keys. We already have the manpower to do this, don't say it's impossible.

We will not be publically announcing any new maps in this update, don't ask to see any of the other maps, we will show them when we see fit. Expect a thanksgiving-christmas release date. The moment you've been waiting for, the renders of some of the new weapons, note: the colt is completely skinned and the kar98 is still a WIP.
