It's been while since many of these following maps have been played but many of them were excellent. I was wondering:
1. What happened to them?
2. If they are currently being upgraded?
3. If so, when will they be released?

The maps I'm speaking about are:
dod_dog1
dod_zafod
dod_cherbourg
para_hedgerow
dod_heteau
dod_shwertz
dod_railroad

dog1-died out normally a ways before 1.0 was released(if i recall, it ways played a lot before 3.1, but then died fast).
zafod-not included in 1.0-might be released again(i think author is in military
cherbourg-not included in 1.0-pretty sure not
hegdrow-not included in 1.0-most likely not
hetaeu-anot included in 1.0-pretty sure not
schwetz-not included in 1.0-no
railroad-not upgraded to 1.0 i beleive-pretty sure not.

I'm not positive on any of these. But they would have been upgraded already I think if they were at all.

dod_dog1 - author didn't want to lower amount of textures.. so it was cut from dod.. various custom map updates came out afterwards.. but because the map was offical once too many different versions of it with the same name were around.. really hurting its playtime..

dod_zafod - guy who made it got a job working for trokia games, hence no time to update it for dod.. it was being updated for 1.0 by waldo but dropped in the end due to not enough time to fix it and origional author being gone..

dod_cherbourg - would really need rebuilding from scratch in a lot of ways.. one of my persoanl fav old maps.. was being updated for 1.0 but arc didn't want to work on it more.. as such didn't make the cut.. he wanted to make something new.. fair enough.

para_hedgerow - was updated for 1.0 as seen in early 1.0 screen shots.. was not included though.

dod_heteau - the creator is off in the german army.. hes working on a new dod map now..

dod_shwertz - was updated for 1.0... was not choosen.. maby not totally finished.. not too sure..

dod_railroad - custom map.. the creator quit dod mapping..

(btw.. i could be wrong on some of those things.. but i doubt it..)

the latest and final release of dod_dog1 can be found at www.invasionworks.com

oh and its HEUTAU.

I coulda swore the Railroad author posted pics of an updated 1.0 railroad... maybe he gave up?

here's some faves I'd like to see for 1.0:

Verdun
clervaux
belgium(x2)
rouen
stuka (the version circulating is NOT from 3dmike/mawibse)
railroad (already mentioned)
cr44

I know a couple of these were made 1.0 compliant, but not by the authors.

anyway... :)

oh, and will narvik ever be released?

Really? Did all these maps die out horribly? Damn, I used to love these maps (except hedgerow and raliroad) back in the days of good old Beta 2. I never played online much then because I only had 32k but damn. Hopefully (Fingers crossed) someone will remake them and fix their compatability issues (they work okay but eg dog1 doesn't work with the new fog). Okay thanks heaps.

Hedgerow, come on u gotta be kidding, that was a pos.

id like to see koln again, and zaphod was a great map, so was dog1.

dod_railroad - custom map.. the creator quit dod mapping..

(btw.. i could be wrong on some of those things.. but i doubt it..)

Well.... you are :P . Actually instacrome, the author was military for awhile, but he is out now and is working on railroad2. He's also the guy making narvik if my memory hasn't failed me.

Scwhetz was updated? Thats one of my favourite maps!
Yeah Heutau's author is working on a new map... I'm sure they nattered on some forum (probably this one)

Koln is a real classic- better than Caen!

Hedgerow actually has a pretty decent layout, but the fact that players can hide in the bushes makes it a bit boring! A thunder style revamp would be really cool.

I used to love dog_1... but now its just an OK map really..

Cr44 is too small for my liking, and the crunchpoint is too tight.
Railroad would be a good challenge for NC17 to ressurrect.

Zafod is pretty good. just if it would lose the respawns by the bridge would really improve the map.

No it wouldn't. The author is still around and he's making railroad two.

well thats good to hear then... railroad was always a fun map, just could of been better in texture/visual department.. as i said i havn't check these forums for a while, keeping track of every mapper evers life story can be tough :)

yeah, i saw some pics of railroad2, same sorta layout, different layout and architectural changes. i can't wait.

anybody know whats happening to the proper dod_stuka ?

Yes.

He's working for Troika Games? That's another DoD community member working with the Source engine.

the "_v1" version is the 3.1 version that someone else made playable for 1.0. Its is NOT 3dmike/mawibse's update.

omfg clervaux is my fav since u can go into practically all the buildings and verdun's defeinetly in 2nd place since this is the best "wide open field" map!!:D
