Operation Deathshead

Author: Ronboy
# of levels: 2
Rating: 7/10
Difficulty: Easy to Medium

I recently released Operation Deathshead to the public as a final finished version. The addon was originally supposed to be 3 levels, and have a beach area, but due to Rtcw's engine limitations, the beach had to be removed. As a result, the addon is now only 2 levels, with the first level taking place in a bunker, and the second level in a lab.

The addon isn't that hard, but the protosoldier fight and the enemies in the first level are somewhat tough. I used 2 new weapons from Alexandre's Additional Weapons Mod: the MP44 and K43 Rifle.
I also used a few custom textures, sounds, music, and models. The first level has no secret areas or treasure. The second level, however, has 15 treasure items (Gold Bars), as well as 1 secret area, which shouldn't be too hard to find.

You will have the help of a few Allied soldiers in both levels. The Allied soldiers have the following weapons:
  • Mauser Rifle
  • Thompson
  • Sten
  • Colt
  • Snooper Rifle
The enemies, which consist of mechanics, scientists, regular soldiers, paratroopers, officers, venom soldiers, and protosoldiers, have the following weapons:
  • MP40
  • MP44 ( a new weapon)
  • K43 Rifle (a new weapon)
  • Mauser Rifle
  • Luger
  • Panzerfaust
  • FG42
  • Flamethrower
  • Venom
  • Grenades
  • MG42
  • Silenced Luger
Health and armor are plentiful, as well as ammo. The story is good, in my opinion. This addon has a briefing using the style that the original maps used. The notebook also works (N key), and the second level has an intro cutscene, as well as a moving elevator, and a locked door that requires a key.

Operation Deathshead is a huge improvement for me, but I still have more improving to do. If you plan on downloading this addon, please read the readme file provided. Otherwise, the addon will not work correctly.

    1. Did you follow the readme file's instructions? This addon, as well as my future addons, is considered a mod, not a map/mappack.
      You must place the Operation Deathshead folder outside your "Main" folder, and overwrite the DLL files, otherwise you'll get errors.
