I was worried when i heard what you are doing, but these pics kinda put my fears to rest. Seems just like getting rid of shitty sandbags, barbed wire, tanks that eat bullets, and retexturing buildings. Keep it up.
I'm assuming it will be called something like donner2 to not interfere with pubs.
Wow, I mean, I'm sure I could get used to it, but man, that is a pretty drastic facelift, would take quite a bit of getting used to, but hopefully the bunker is heavily improved
"Donner" is german for thunder, which is a reference to dod_thunder, the map to which it was based on. I always liked how the weather on donner was different from all the other maps.

I'm pretty sure it can still have the thunderstorm theme without it being dark as shit and hard to see idiots proned in foliage. I liked thunder in 3.1, but every map was dark in 3.1. It's just unnecessary in "modern" DoD.
vote dod_kalt gets the next retouching. The above ground is good for league play. Take out the sewers and maybe make a connector from wheelhouse to bridge?

I started work on that but I just got disheartened and quit.
haven't played it yet..so I'm not trying to hate, but not a fan based on how it looks. looks generic
donner was a good change of pace map as far as mood, setting and play style. maybe it's hard for me to see anything any other way just based solely on the repitition of playing this map for 10 years..personally don't think donner needs an update other than annoying bugs/glitches.
Mood = FUCK. ITS CHANGING TO DONNER?
Setting = Why is it ALWAYS raining up in this bitch? Depressing as shit.
Play style = GAY AS FUCK. See: Mood.
Donner can be fun. Or it can be a complete fucking nightmare when kids just hide in corners, prone in some random spot, or ninja for the majority halves leaving the rest of your team to fight for themselves man down. Which one happens more often? Yeah, not the fun part.

This is what I'm always saying, too. Donner can be a really fun map if it's played at a fast pace like harrington. Obviously every map has its slow points and such, but not many maps are like donner where it is mainly slow-play.

Sounds like to me, you should just be playing harrington 24/7 and stop playing other maps with different tactics and playstyles. Seems like anything other than just a constant rush in a strait line is unacceptable.
Why even bother making a new map? OR better yet, why even play another map if you want them all to play like harrington? variety is bad! We should hit up narc and ask for an entire season of Harrington.

Did I say it was unacceptable? No, I said it was less fun. I like donner the way it is, but I snipe it. I don't hear many snipers complaining about the map, just heavies. Do I like to play faster pace maps? Of course. I don't enjoy hiding in one spot for 20 minutes and staring at a corner. I don't see how that can be fun for anybody.

Where did I say ALL I want to play is harrington? I used the map as a reference because it is generally a very fast paced map. Would you have preferred I said chemille? Hell, let's all just play chemille 24/7 now, folks, because it was used in an example.
