wow looks damn good, i only hope gameplay will be awesome too
:)

looks neat. I like the skybox, it looks unique, and the textures are well choosen as well.

If you need someone for a playtest, contact me or Killa :)

I´ll post some news about it on dodmaps.com as well.

Yes, looks really nice!
Sky, lights, textures, ... Really well done Sir !

German mappers strikes again !

@happy...i hope you too ;)

looks damn good :)


w00t.... Sieht verdammt gut aus, J69L!!!
Sag "Bescheid" wenn du sie testen willst :D

greetz
Blei :)

Very Nice, very polished, me likes...

Although I'm groaning at yet ANOTHER snowy map; this looks seriously excellent. It reminds me a bit of the RTCW village map... but somehow obtains originality!

The indoor lighting also looks really good, the way casts a warm glow over the frosty exterior.

:D Very very good.

Looks sweet! What kind of gameplay do you envision?

WoW

goil, goil, goil... die sieht echt super aus J69L! sag bescheid, wen du waypoints brauchst... und zum testen der map stehe ich auch gerne zur verfügung ;)

nice nice nice, it needs pimpage..;-)

it looks like the product of a night of wildly fantastic sex between kalt, and zalec.

Looks really nice :)

"Any new pics?", he asked impatientely. :rolleyes:

looks very nice, i love the brushwork, can i ask what the r_speeds are like?!?

250- 600 ;)

hey...what do you think.....do brits fit to snow...or are allies better...cuz there are wide open areas with sniper or kar positions

Super impressive ! looks fantastic!

I vote for Brits despite fact that team f. them up leaving with weak weaponry. Just drop one or two german MGs in spawn.

The Brits in DoD suck hardcore. So please use US forces instead as long as Brit vs. Germans is "Kar Wars : The Toe Kill Empire strikes back".

Sad but true.

Nice map btw.

Hmm depends on the map.

Jagd doesn't really have rifle wars- I find a lot of people use the FG42 and the BREN, STG44 and the STEN. Rifle wars can also be limited by use of (duh dum) class limitations. Caen is unsuited for the Bren because theres so much rubble n s**t, that its hard in places to whack a Bren on the floor and and get a good sight.

If you make sure theres plenty of back streets (not like Caen - more like Zalec or something) with open houses, then it also wont be a map where attrition rules.

Looks really amazing. Awesome job!!

dod_kalt killer anyone? (jugding from the screens)

imo that church tower looks wrong.

Anyho, looks like very nice map. Looking forward to play it. Good work.

Wow good work so far. Is this going to be capture the flags or objective style J69L?

Looking good but:

That church tower looks a bit unbalanced!

That arch in pic 6, its a bit FREAKING huge judging by the car next to it, its what 3-4 times the height of the car. It looks a bit too high and wide.

New pics look fantastic.

Its an arch, of course its high.

The map looks beautiful. But the tower needs work.

As for US or Brits, I think Brits would do great. Dont be afraid of rifle wars. That map doesn't look like caen ;), and theres no need for German MG's at the spawn either.

I use the Bren like the Bar and I own face all the time. I can say that map will be great as Brits.

Needless to say, that map looks great!

The map looks awesome. Also I'd say it looks like a brit map. Everyone says their weapons suck but that's just because they don't know how to use them.;)

Any updates on this? :o

It looks very good, however I would prefer Americans vs. Axis but that's just me :)

The town is damn nice.
However, the church tower looks waaay wrong. You have this huge ass square sitting ontop of that other,smaller square. If somebody built something like that in real life it would probably crash.

Maybe if top part could be of wood or that german-style walls (visible wooden skeleton "filled" with brighter walls). It would look much lighter even with this size.

Great looking map J69L, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to playing it on our server. If you need any help with mirrors and such when you release it give us a shout, we'd be happy to host it.

Please use the Americans and not British.

I want new pics.....:D

ok...i nearly finished the map, now i have to look for unbeauty things...
then i post some new pics....think monday is a good day...

looool
that was a thing i NEVER expected :D

Its monday, /me looks left and right for new pics..;)

here we go!!!

i think these will be the last pics i will make before its gonna be released...so enjoy

Wow, red lanterns district. :)
Me likes :D can playtest ? :D

The more I see pictures of this map, the more the word "official" comes to mind.

The pictures on your thread and http://www.dodmaps.com look simply fantastic.

Keep it up, go for the official status.

edit: Btw, do you have any pictures of some interior areas? I'd really like to see some.

This map looks sweet. I like the yellow lantern light effect.

Question: Are you working on a minimap, and if so could you show us a picture 'cause I'd like to get a general idea of how this is set up?

I agree, this map is a looker.

The lanterns would look better if you set made the light parts func_wall, set the render mode to texture, and render properties to 255. This would make the lanterns look like they are truly glowing.

That is, if you can spare the entity count.

If the gameplay is half as sexy as the look, then this map will prove to be fine indeed!

ROFL! It does! :D

If it combines both elements from both maps... It's a sure-fire winner then. :)

I keep hearing rumors of a playtest Monday. Is this true? If so how can we attend?

subscribe for playtest here (http://dodmaps.ngz-network.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=91&sid=)

sorry for the huge bump, but what ever happend to this map? Was it ever publicly released?

wow!

It wasn't released. There was playtest few weeks ago, but I don't know what is status now.

@J69L, any news??

Kinda like Northbound and snowcity collide.

Sweet.

updates, need updates

True....

very cool looking map.

i'm jealous

I checked J69l's site.. thing hasn't been updated in a long while.. I dunno if your gonna get to see this one. But never give up hope!

what an awesome map. We would love to play test or host this map for downloads on our server
