Eagle's Nest is a map featured in the Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII expansion. It sees United States Army battling die-hard German Elite Forces holdouts for control of their final stronghold high in the Bavarian Alps.
Conquest[]
This map features the US Army against the German Elite Forces. It takes place in the Austrian Alps, near Hitler's mountain retreat, after which the map is named. The Germans start out with a majority of the bases in their possession, with a majority of their tanks near the Eagle's Nest.
Equipment[]
Control Points[]
BERCHTESGADEN[]
The US main base on the far east of the map. It spawns an M3A1, a Sherman, two Sherman T34, two T95 and three Willys. If captured by the Germans, it will spawn a Hanomag, three Panzer IV, two Sturmtigers and three Kübelwagen.
TOLL BOOTH[]
Heading northwest from Berchtesgaden and crossing a bridge, one reaches the Toll Booth, the second US control point. This spawns only a XA42, or R75 if under German control.
GAESTEHAUS[]
Crossing another bridge south from the Toll Booth and heading west uphill, one reaches the Gaestehaus, the US frontline control point. This point spawns only a M3A1 under US control, or Hanomag under German control.
GOERINGHAUS[]
Going further west uphill from Gaestehaus, one reaches Goeringhaus, the German frontline control point. This point spawns three Hanomags and a PAK 40. If captured by the US, it will spawn three M3A1 and a PAK 40.
TUNNEL ENTRANCE[]
Going uphill towards the north and crossing a bridge, one reaches the second German control point. This point spawns a R75, a Panzer IV and Kübelwagen. Under US control, it will spawn a XA42, a Sherman T34 and a Willy.
EAGLE'S NEST[]
Crossing the tunnel, one reaches the German main base. It spawns two Sturmtigers, two Panzer IV, two stationary MG 42, and two Kübelwagen. If captured by the US, it will spawn two T95, two Sherman T34, two Brownings, and two Willys.
Capture the Flag[]
The positions of control points remain the same, however:
- The main bases, Berchtesgaden and Eagle's Nest, are no longer capturable.
- Objective flags are at Toll Booth and Tunnel Entrance.
- Gaestehaus and Goeringhaus are neutral.
As a result of these changes, vehicles that were tied to Tool Booth or Tunnel entrance are now tied to Berchtesgaden and Eagle's nest, though their spawning locations remain the same. In addition, one machine gun has been removed from Eagle's Nest.
Team Deathmatch[]
The control point and vehicle layouts are the same as Conquest. However, all control points except for Gaestehause and Goeringhaus have become uncapturable.
Objective[]
— World War II Anthology Edition Manual
— Objective mode briefing
The control point layout is the same, except Eagle's Nest is no longer a control point, and all vehicles tied to it have been removed. In addition, Gaestehaus and Tunnel Entrance are no longer capturable.
Other vehicle changes are as follows:
- One Sherman T34/Panzer IV has been moved from Berchtesgaden to Gaestehaus.
- Two more motorcycles (R75 or XA42) have been added to Gaestehaus.
- A Sturmtiger/T95 has been added to Goeringhaus.
- A Panzer IV/Sherman has been added to Tunnel Entrance.
The US must destroy two objectives in the Eagle's Nest building:
- Eagle's Nest Door for access into the building, and
- Eagle's Nest Safe in the rear of the building.
Both the Door and the Safe can take 500 points of damage each. Interestingly, the Safe can be destroyed before the Door by entering the building from an entrance in the rear.
