Guys from old dod forums knows this map. Now 1.0 is out and I updated lighting and skybox. Also added some cool 1.0 models, like trees and tanks.

Comments?

Looks quite nice, although I might suggest tweaking the lighting since it's raining - looks a bit bright for a rainstorm.

True. True. I'm tweaking it a little bit. Maybe a bit darker would be cool :-)

Looks awsome, but how are r_speeds. If they're good, then maybe you could add some foliage or something. The city just looks really dull.

I placed some flowers and foliage in the town (models). Models looks very nice. I'll post some screens later.

I agree with Andy that sky and lighting do not match well quite high amount of rain.
Also I think on pic7 rooftiles are placed backwards.
Good work :).

looks nice although I'd suggest some more architectural variation for those buildings.

Works for me, perfectly.

I still stick with my textures comment from the old thread. I think it could use a more consistent theme. But first match the lighting to the sky while still having it look like dreary & rainy. If that doesn't work out try out a different sky.

Maybe use a mute grey as your diffuse?

Pretteh, although the indoor tunnels could use a touch more lighting.

Looking great, but my comments stand from the old forums, and I have a few new ones :):
In SS 3, the ivy above the door is silly, ivy grows from the ground, not door frames, have it growing up besides the door or something.
In SS 4, the textures on the buildings next to the bridge don't vertically tile, it looks silly.
In SS 7, I love the window on the right, it's rare when someone details a window in DoD, it's either texturesd on or just a square, that one is both :) I can't tell from that angle if it's the texture or if you actuallt made it an indent in the wall.
In SS 8, having a building open like that is odd, There should be some doors or atleast doors that have been knocked down. The light coming in looks good, but as someone already said, if it's raining, it is most likely not going to be that bright as to have light shining in like that.
In SS 10, having that tree in the middle of the roat is impractical, I know that in little villages not everyone had cars, but there were still carts and stuff, having a tree there would block things, put some trees to the side, but not the middle.
In most of them, having a cement first floor then a stucco second floor with wood doesn't look right, have the whole building in the same style.

I love the trees, they are big, round and colored great.

Thank you all, specially BigB@ll. Your suggestions are very good. I'll consider every one of them.

Thank you. More pics asap.

This is looking like a real winner. If I may make a suggestion is maybe some Lightning. I'm sure you have thunder already, but adding in some Lightning like in Stuka would be really cool. Plus the way the thunder cracked right after the lightning bolt. Genius I tell ya..genius!
