No wonder the Island doesn't look like the real island.. The developers at DICE knew that a Typhoon was coming for the island and that the island would change shape and they would have to repair the island, including the runway.. maybe even pointing it the other way?

Since it is Wake Island 2007... and the year is 2006..

Search maybe?


the big yellow letters?

After looking at Wake, I was strolling around other islands of the South Pacific, some of the really small ones actually have quite a bit on them.  Most of it looks like some kind of factory stuff.

Ya I wish the map creators could've designed Wake Island a little more like the real thing.

Which is why I'm sick of the map. It was great for 1942...but then they brought it to VN and 2. ENOUGH ALREADY! This map was on the prerelease demo of 1942!!

I don't see the Carrier.

Search for Roi.  I think this looks more like wake than wake does lol

NEWS UPDATE

'Monster' Typhoon Ioke Makes Direct Hit on Wake Island
By VOA News
31 August 2006
 

Super Typhoon Ioke has made a direct hit on Wake Island, pounding the tiny U.S. Pacific territory with catastrophic winds of up to 300 kilometers an hour.

Ioke is the strongest central Pacific typhoon in at least 12 years. Forecasters expect the "monster" storm to submerge Wake Island and destroy everything on it that is not made of concrete.

Wake is home to a U.S. Air Force base and a scientific outpost, roughly midway between Hawaii and Japan.

The eye of the typhoon skirted the north edge of the coral atoll Thursday. The U.S. Air Force had already evacuated all of the island's 188 residents to Hawaii, 3,700 kilometers across the Pacific.

The residents - Air Force personnel and American and Thai contractors - left Monday aboard two U.S. C-17 Globemaster planes. It was the first time the territory was evacuated in nearly 30 years.



Additionally Wake's highest land point is 18ft and Ioke's waves were 40+.

"The residents - Air Force personnel and American and Thai contractors - left Monday aboard two U.S. C-17 Globemaster planes."

Wonder if they had to run over any T/Killers?
