Fellow MOH players and mappers always ask me why I prefer to map for Spearhead and not MOH AA. I guess the most significant answer is that when you are mapping for AA, you are very limited to the texture set/models that are available. When Spearhead was released, and mapping tools, you can set you MOHRadiant to use the complete set of everything that AA and Spearhead has to offer, a much larger mapping field.
As EVERYONE that has Spearhead also has to have MOHAA installed, there will be no missing items/textures.
Not the case with Breakthrough, as there are some players that do play MOHAA and Spearhead, but thru their Breakthrough.
Since they do not have Spearhead installed, they would be missing some items/textures on many Spearhead maps.
Some of my Spearhead maps (bobzilla) do play in Breakthrough, as I have added the missing or spearhead textures as "custom" and thus allowing them to see.
Not all of my maps are playable in AA. A few of my maps are labeled AA...i.e. Prison1945_AA.
All of my maps have both dm and tdm spawns and many up to 36 per map. Some of my maps include some hidden rooms/items or invisible areas that allow a player to gain an advantage in play.
Hope you enjoy my maps and see you on the battlefield!

There is a huge more textures when Spearhead was added. If you look at some of the Spearhead maps..you see a wider range of different walls, doors, windows, concrete..etc.I would have never been able to create the maps that I have did without these additional items. Breakthrough is a tough cookie to crack. As an expansion to MOHAA, most BT players are able to play AA and SP maps. But Spearhead players cannot play BT maps. That means a BT mapper would have an audience of only BT players..as AA players cannot play BT maps either. There are NOT alot of BT servers, a heck of alot of AA and same for Spearhead. The one most imporant thing that I like on spearhead..is they "cook" the nades, meaning, so you cannot run around like a chicken with a nade in hand forever. The also fixed the problem of player stacking, so you cannot climb on each others back. Run speed is spearhead is slighty faster, which I like.
