Mokay, i've been around DOD since beta 2. And i always liked it, but what i miss in the maps is sum variations.

Most of the maps are situated around villages or towns.
The re is always sum broken down tank or car, a lot of debry and sum shot down buildings. Why not change the theme a bit more.
Like DOD_TOBRUK by Bleibringer? Situated in Africa.

Why not make sum Pacific maps? It can be done....:-)

Firstly africa maps can be done, but pacific maps, well theres no japs yet, so it will look pretty strange fighting germans in a tropical forest. But not ones telling anyone not to. Africa maps are however possible, and if anyone can figure out a way to combine the openness of desert combat with the hl engine then give it a try.

he has some good ideas. Afrika has been done a few times .. tobruk, temple and some onthers i believe.

and i wouldnt mind seeing a PTO map with axis ... it woudl be fun .. i mean, you could always swap out your axis skins for some japanese skins

i wonder if its possible to edit the FGD or soemthing to call up japanese skins on the player models ... i know you can edit the fgd and have it work because Kami did it in Overlord .. a map im still waiting for him to redo

Hmm good point, i forgot that one. No Japs in DOD..:-(
Well all in all i am waiting to see sumthing more then just villages.

Idea: Maybe a snowy map > near Stalingrad? Or is that already been done?

If you want something...make it :D

You have tons of resources at your fingertips right here.

These same ideas have been thrown around for years and this same discussion pops up every several weeks.

Problem with pacific map is different environment. Lot of foliage, which means many models and brushes, it's far from being FPS friendly.

bring on the source engine, i think tobruk copuld do damn well with the new advances of the source engine and also beach maps could be made far more realistic that there isnt the good old hl restraints
