Operation Overlord is a total conversion created by Nigel Rowand (Enjay), released in 2006 for the GZDoom source port. Containing a single level, the TC takes place on a beach full of enemy soldiers as the player is required to advance through enemy lines as part of an amphibious landing operation.

Operation Overlord received one of the 13th Annual Cacowards. A spiritual successor, BGPA Missions: Liberation, would be released two years later, in 2008.

Setting

The mod tells the story about a group of UAC marines fighting against a South American movement. The enemies you will encounter are "Incas" or "Incanese" and derived from a private total conversion, called Aspects. Befitting its name, the mod takes place in a D-Day style beach.

Trivia

  • The original release of Operation Overlord relied on a separate, custom executable, called ZDUCK.EXE. This is a source modifcation of ZDoom, coded by Anonone and comes with a custom icon. It builds upon this author's DoomFu source modification, that enabled kung-fu movements in ZDoom. ZDUCK.EXE however implements a ducking feature so that the player can take cover behind obstacles without being shot. ZDUCK.EXE is based on DoomFu2 0.8a and ZDoom version 2.0.63a dated June 24, 2005.
