Help Build A New Map

verb · Post by **verb** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 5:03 am

I am working with someone to build a new map, with the hopes of it being good enough for competitive play. With that being said, I would like the communities imput on what map elements you would like included. Possible route / area comparisons to other maps would be great.

at least 8 windows (lookin at you, Blake). some grass patches to prone in. 7 flags (haven't seen that before). a 6-player cap zone in the middle. 6 routes, each with a boxcar dividing the axis and allied sides of the route and an associated flag.

if the entirety of the map could be covered in sandbags, that would really increase the enjoyment of playing the map.

JK, make a big square with a + connecting all the sides and a 2man cap in the middle. then give it an interesting atmosphere and changes in elevation and you have every good map ever played (harrington and railroad).

Two towers, capture the tower style. With textures though, none of that color stuff. Like, huge towers, 20+ stories bro. Be epic.

Anyways, someone just made a new map for dod that emmanueele? map, be happy with that.

Too many new maps and we will get exhausted from all the new maps, and the good players will be GIVE US TIME TO 12MAN MORE I DON'T KNOW MY AREAZ LIKE DOD_HARRINGTON BRIDGE AREA. BREAK THE MIDDLE>

Are there any aim_map (Counter-strike) like maps ever created? You know to mess around..or fy_iceworld... I'm sure this isn't the kind of map ideas you're looking for but I don't remember any of those ever being done. Is the DoD mod just incapable of having a map like that?

dod_pandemic_aim or something like that.

Pretty good aim map IMO.

as for a new map. Don't make a CS map port, please. Unless it's the_stairs for dod. lolol

Make a map where its designed that light autos are more of a use than the 3rd rifles. The last 2 maps added, lennon and emmanuel are clearly biased in which weapon you should choose for your utility player. Give us some alleys and or lots of boxes and shit!

That's the name of the popular DoD AIM map. dod_pandemic_aim.

serious post, redo putten_b5 to have a scrim fell by getting rid of retarded doors and fix the axis spawn

thank you for those that posted serious responses. I will keep you posted as the map is worked on.

Wasn't there a version of fy_iceworld that became broken after some update to the game?

You know, I think I recall playing some iceworld map for dod back in the day.
I could just be tripping balls though.

Try doing an uphill/downhill like switch but like half the size. Not to small like avalanche though.

as long as the mid isn't anything like dod_switch with the church looking over the only way to mid for people to camp with mg's it should be great

we pretty much always have 2 lights and won on both emmanuel and lennon (regular season) so it can be done on those maps

take dod_7quick layout... double the length from spawn to spawn.. add something interesting on both left and right routes...and reskin it to look like a 1940's french town.

instant classic.

Try creating a map where every route is "open" to all the classes. It would be cool not knowing what you're going against for a challenge. This way every team could have a different strategy to win.

I think we should still use the maps from 3.1 (the ones with airborne models) It would require a whole different style of play, and would be really interesting to see strats for each map. I also miss dod_zafod even though it was ridiculously huge.

shit, i would play caen if it was smaller. And less british.

Caen is a good map, it's just too large for competition. Make it slightly smaller, fix some of the stupid hitbox models they have scattered across the map, and make it allies v axis.

I'd play it. Then again I'd also play flash for league play.

It's been done. dod_box

that would be cool some 3.1b maps ported for competetive play.
zaffod but smaller
caen2 but smaller
heatue but smaller

verb · Post by **verb** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:53 pm

again, thanks for the comments and suggestions folks. My mapping partner and I are currently working on this new map and will provide pictures when we feel it is ready.

I would love to work on a caen2 remake after

1911 Beta
