Talvisota Mod | Boreal
Talvisota Winter War mod for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam map, "Boreal".
A medium-sized Territories map featuring Soviets landing at the northern-most island connecting to Finland. Soviets attack while using an HT-130 Flamethrower tank, and Finnish soldiers defend against the attackers across a frozen port island. Level progresses from ramparts beginning at the southeastern corner of the glacier island, towards rubble breakup and capsized ships. Level finale is a fueling station for ships and vehicles connected to the mainland.
This map captured many players in a positive way with its atmospheric setting of traversing a desolate and desperate wasteland with little vegetation imagined as a fictional fantasy battle in the Winter War of 1939 - 1940. Assets created by Antimatter Games, Tripwire Interactive, and Talvisota Mod Team.
Boreal is a Rising Storm 2: Talvisota mod map taking place on a faraway ice and snow covered island.
Attackers start on the southeastern edge of the map and start moving through a forest guarded by the defending team.
Attackers break through defenses and emerge into the main part of the map.
Defenders can mount their defense using the cover and sightlines using the level's geometry and ships.
I implemented several interesting features to complement the landscape further, including working with an artist to add orca whales washed up on shore.
Frozen canal with one of the final capture zones.
This map scales further at its mid-point to include two capture zones that all take place on this long canal.
Attackers reach the northwest end of the map to capture the final point, a naval refueling station.
