Vicpas (author of The Fortress) has converted mp_beach to a sp map. Sadly, it's a "mandatory stealth" map, which basically means the mission fails if the player is caught by enemy soldiers who make noise and sound the alarm. To be honest, I don't like this style of gameplay, and I'm sure many other Rtcw players agree with me. The objective in this map is to eliminate a Nazi officer, destroy the radios to disrupt communication, and steal the secret documents.

Once the player completes an objective halfway through the map, the stealth mode is turned off, Allied soldiers invade the beach, and the player can now make noise without worrying about an alarm sounding. The gameplay is straight foward, at least the stealth segment of the map is. The second half of the map involves cleaning the bunker of Nazi soldiers, and meeting up with the Allies on the beach. I found this map overall to be difficult, mainly because of the "mandatory stealth" segment.

There is a secret area on the map, but it's pretty tricky to find. Even if you can't find it, all you're missing out on is some treasure items (gold bars).

But the second half of the map is pretty easy, because the Nazi soldiers are busy attacking the invading Allies, and don't notice your presence. This map uses some custom sounds, but no custom textures or music. Vicpas did a good job with this, but I would have liked it better if the stealth segment of the map was optional instead of mandatory. =)

Overall, it's a good effort to make mp_beach a sp map, and maybe even persuade mp mappers to allow their maps to be used for sp.

I did not record the walkthrough video above. All credit goes to Vicpas.
