Island Hopping

is an Extinction map by RisingSun2013. It takes place across 3 islands: Wake Island, Iwo Jima, and Guadalcanal, along with on the ocean, plus on 2 battleships (one for the Marines, one for the Japanese).

Summary
The map takes place in WWII, across three islands. To advance to the next island, you must destroy all hives on the previous one. Instead of a laser drill, you must destroy them manually with gunfire and explosives. You start on Wake Island, then go to Iwo Jima, and last is Guadalcanal. To get to Wake Island, you must use a boat from the battleship you start on and drive to the island. To get off Wake Island, you must get back to your boat and start to drive back to the battleship. To get to Iwo Jima, you do the same thing as Wake Island, and do the same to get off it. To get to Guadalcanal, you must take a plane from the battlehsip you're on and fly to the island. Just before you reach the island, a cutscene will show the player bailing out onto the island. Each player must take their own plane; they cannot take the same one, as they are one-seaters.

Backstory
With the arrival of the Cryptids, the factions knew they'd have to work together to stop them.

The I.J.A. and the U.S.M.C. team up in this map to fight the Cryptids, but with support from the other factions, with there being weapons from all different factions.

Layout
The layout of each island is the same as their counterparts in Battlefield 1943. The same goes for the oceans and battleships.

Ranking Up
The ranking system will be decided upon after all the loadout options and weapons have been decided upon.

Vehicles
You can use a few different types of vehicles to battle the Cryptids, or to get to other hives. You also use a plane for a short amount of time to get to Guadalcanal, and you get to the other islands/escape the other islands on a battleship.

 * You can find a modern weapon as an Easter Egg, and it's free: the AK-12. It can be found on a small "island" in the ocean. You must swim to the island, then hold the use button while aiming at the tree. The tree will be shaken by the player and an AK-12 will fall from it. Only one player can obtain it, and it can only be obtained once. Its ammo can still be refilled, however.
 * There is a dead U.S. Army soldier on the beach that looks just like Brooklyn from Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

Trivia

 * This is one of the first Extinction maps on the wiki.
 * The map was originally going to be a zombie map.
 * The map was also originally going to only include American and Japanese weapons, but for the backstory it uses weapons from all the factions.
