This Update for Medal of Honor Airborne raises the player count, gives players more options for names, makes some balance changes on the weapons and adds two new maps.
The readme denotes that we do not support more than 12 players officially. This is simply due to the fact that some lower-end machines may have trouble handling the high capacity. However, we have tested extensively at 24 players and it's a lot of fun.
Also, not called out in the readme was that the Springfield's damage was reduced in multiplayer.
The Update size is large b/c all maps in multiplayer were edited, most often to adjust spawn points. We have also added two new maps.
The dedicated server is a new build of the server and will not patch the existing server. This is also because all the content has been touched. To patch the server would be almost as big as to release a new one. The Linux server is being worked on and will be updated as soon as possible.
A joint allied operation into the island of Sicily, Operation Husky follows Boyd Travers and the 82nd Airborne on their first combat jump on July 11, 1943. After securing and sabotaging four anti-aircraft guns, Boyd is sent to rendezvous with a group of Airborne paratroopers at the edge of the village.
Here, they run into the German Heer army, who is attempting to recapture the village from the Airborne. Boyd must push to the end of this small hamlet, eliminating Germans along the way, then find a sniper rifle and eliminate the German commander. He�s successful, but not before the commander has successfully called in reinforcements.
finally!'
