Dod_colmar and Dod_Jagd

Two new maps, both "objective based" rather than CTF.

About time too I reckon!!!. :cool:

Jagd

Colmar

ungh jagd was awful before and it will be awful again

Too many maps just for public play, objective based maps will never take off in clan play imo. Dont get me wrong though, happy to see some more content, hopefully the update will fix the crouching hitboxes too.

Another couple of Colmar shots:-

Looks good. Think I may have to purchase DOD:S now. I tried it a while back when it was free and loved it.

why can't they release a beach map....or a wide open country map...or something that isn't a city/town...!

Duke · 27 May 2006 at 15:23

That looks awesome

Gerard · 27 May 2006 at 16:31

I just wish valve would fix those god awful smg's, the spread of those things is beyond a joke, not a bit of wonder anytime someone kills you with one hes usually running at you holding down the mouse button. :rolleyes:

Yep, I agree.

I'd like to see a beach map. A Source version of Overlord or Omaha would be awesome.

The last project on this subject that I thought looked good, was Waldo's Dod_Foxgreen map.

However, after him moving away to a new job from the Dev team at Valve, it's kinda "died the death" and I haven't heard much from him on the issue.

Some pics of a beach map I've been making off and on lately. Based on the D-Day landings at Fox Green on Omaha Beach.

The main battle at Fox Green was over WN60 - a German stronghold at the top of the bluff.

These are probably too dark right now. Light is straight out of one of the HL2 coastline maps - maybe a bit too gray/dim, but the sun does look kind of cool behind the trees.

Click pics for full size images.

BRING BACK DOD HILL!!!!

That map was fun as hell back in the day, was really sniper orientated but winning the map was very satisfying.

Id also like to see a remake of CAEN without all the dod team added camping spots that slowed the map down and made ti boring as hell to play. Amazing how that map was considered the de_dust of dod and now its not even an official map due to them toolin around with it. :mad:

Yep, defo agree with you there Gerard m8. That would be classic. :cool:

There's a plethora of custom maps out there that work very well indeed, although the official maps just seem to have that extra "something".

Our own [TFS]El Capitan has produced a really good custom map called Dod_Subterrainia:-

It's a bit of a change from the normal "town" maps, but we have taken it off the server rotation for now while El Cap works on the b3/b4 version and irons out a few rough edges.

Found a beta release of a hill remake

Nice find.

Will see if I can get Darkpenfold to add that to our server rotation for a wee bit and check out how it plays.

Nice looking map have to say that much.

Draeger · 27 May 2006 at 17:10

I've asked on our forums if DP can add it to our rotation.

Think it will be well worth a play for a few days at least.

kdd · 27 May 2006 at 20:42

Looking good, i always end up going back to dod, such a fun and well balanced game.
Edit: Looking at those pictures mind the new gamemode looks suspiciously like the bomb cs gametype...

VeNT · 27 May 2006 at 23:37

gah another update for DOD:S
its not as good as DOD was, the whole hitbox thing is a joke tbh,
fix the bugs, release it at 50% of the price and you MAY get more people playing!

SgtTupac · 28 May 2006 at 00:22

Remake of caen would be nice. Beach maps are fun just if you are Americans and your getting it bad it can be annoying

Sone · 28 May 2006 at 14:37

dod_oslo should be remade, used to be the best map by far, also dod_seg2 (or was ot seg3?) was very good :mad:

Rojin · 28 May 2006 at 14:42

seg3, I also miss cherbourg had some great scraps on that map. Shame that DoD:S is a pale shadow of what DoD once was
