I've been working on a little map 2 days now. It's called dod_haven. You can pretty much compare it to xerent's dod_frenzy but it's a bit bigger and there are spawn areas.

There are 2 ways out from spawns. Spawns are protected by fake mg's. From next area, there are 3 ways to the bunker thingies and from the bunkers there are 2 ways to the central area. Other side is almost the same but different layout.

Whole map contains 3 flags. Next to spawn areas and central area. Central flag takes 7 seconds to capture. 50 point fullcap award is also there.

Map is almost done now. like 70% or 80% done. I'll finish this pretty soon so you can watch dodmaps.com for preview before release.

And about the name. Haven in this case doesnt mean harbor. It's just Operation Haven :)

Might look like flash because of those textures and roads. But layout is much different.

Definately flash meets jagd with a bit of your own ideas. (btw, those are two of my favorite maps):)

It appears to be a small village in France, and I feel like you should really get rid of that water tower, gives it too much of a modern feel. Also, yes, give it the close combat feel of Flash. That's my most favorite thing about that map, never going more than five seconds without hearing "a shot fired in anger."

Good Job so far, makes me feel like getting back into mapping.

Your a mapping machine. I think is one of your best looking so far. As always nice job and I actually like the consistent texture theme in this one. :)

No destruction. It's a pretty town :-P

man, i love all your maps:D

I would usually ring in with a hundred suggestions, but all I have is to add some shadows, make the road wider so that it uses the transition along the side, and to make the tunnel less red. It looks great!

map looks good but it will only be cool if you add a "safe" right in front of haven or maybe add the "safe" and then delete the "aven" that would work too :p

Rofl. Of course this map is dedicated to Safeh :-D

More screens pretty soon. Stay tuned for Dodmaps.com preview and release.

looks neat, does anyone think that looks a little bit like flash?

The only stuff I saw in common with flash was the road/grass textures and how he did them. And the house/building designs. That's about all..
