Im wondering why there is a lack of fun/crazy maps for dod (eg. rats)? I know dod trys to be more serious and thee types of maps arent for everyone, but theres got to be at least a few people out there who are interested!

May i point you to DoD_Bierville. Sure as hell aint serious.

Are "rats" those miniture scale type maps rampant in Quake? I'm not a big fan of those myself.

Look here http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9667 for what should be some fun maps.

Mappers are restricted in style for DoD, since everything is 1940-45 (although official are 1944).

rat maps are dumb with the HL engine. the HL engine sucks for large open spaces.

but other than that look for the "fun" maps there was a horde of em for 3.1 just gotta find the ones that work with 1.0

do a search for para_iceworld2 and dustbowl ;). And I dont think DoD would really play that well in all those CS crazy maps.

I didn't like iceworld in CS either.

I would be amused to see some sort of map set on xen though, with low gravity!

low gravity in dod = more time that you cannot shoot your gun.

i was going to make some matrixy kind of maps a while back but the fact that you can't shoot in the air put a damper on those. oh well, whatever.

Lower gravity doesn't lower ROF (or at least not in HL's Xen).

you cant shoot while jumping in 1.0 how are you gonna float and shoot if ya canni jump in the first place?

Nope, but as long as the gravity isn't TOO low then it could be fun.

Whatever, I'm not too fussed about a Xen map- just a random idea.

ive started working on a nice littel fun map.

dod_rocketarena

rockets only. heaps of func_breakables. think of the fun!

ill see how it pans out...

make it look good too, we dont want another dod_awp flamage again *digs a hole*

I miss dod_legoisland from 3.1 .....That was an awesome map...:D

If you're interested in fighting it out at the home of the King, I've made a map called dod_graceland.

It's still in it's testing phase, but the gameplay is pretty smooth. Basically Aliens abducted soldiers from both sides, performed their anal probes and returned them to earth. Just some 20 years later and on the wrong side of the world.

You can find it on my Clan's webpage at

And you can play it on our server, Digital Vallhala 66.208.104.23:27015

A clan mate of mine asked me to give you their map.
dod_scrambled (http://www.buxombombshells.com/maps/dod_scrambled.exe)
Its not the prettiest map but its fun as heck to play it can be found on our server 209.144.221.229:27015 watch out for the cow+chicken cause they get your team bonus points.

"Rats" or "Turkey Burger" maps would be cool with DoD... It would make me feel as though I was playing with those little plastic Soldiers (Army Men) ... Hell.. the map could even be tailored to look as though some kid was playing war with his army men on the bedroom floor... Players could take cover behind a shoe while waiting for reinforcements, and assault the clothes pile Flag like king of the hill... lol...

Hell.. a reskin of the player models would even be in order to complete the effect...


...

i made a funmap.... dod_cologne_rhein2 for 1.0..
its a simple gameplay with two hills and a sea in the middle...buts looks very nice...

you can download it at www.j69l.de.vu

have fun;)

Even "fun" maps are limited in style. THey're either the mini scale crapola, or its based on the Kwik E Mart, etc. Not terribly original.

But still, I suppose the peeps who like those maps should have 'em (even if they have terrible r_speeds),

There should especially be a map for the KAR luurrrrrrrvers to keep them off the good servers with good maps.
