hey guys dont you find a lack of british maps and realizom maps? like i mean i have been looking thourth here for the past 2 hours and i cant find a real brit map that they would of fougt on if u know what i mean liek there is no open fram lands like if you watch these war shows that are on TV there are mass amouts of open feilds and ditcese on ether side. not only brit maps but cant you guys make a canadian map like KAPELSCHE VEER, the shudet how ever its spellet and some maps with little ports that the allies have to take? cuz it would be alsom to see these maps happanying more then close coters citiy fighting liek the game is all ready.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
im also working on a map like above but it wont be ready for ever LOL

The Half-Life engine cannot do open maps well at all. It struggles, you can only do some much with a 5/6 year old engine.

There are few Brit maps though, however my new map Density will be one, release soon.

The battle of the Falaise Gap was Polish/Candian so I guess dod_falaise should technically of been a Brit map to be half historically correct.

It would be great.

But nobody (including DoD team) seems to like brits, that's why mappers avoid them also.

I'm planning a Dieppe raid map,
i'm at the research stage but if someone with experience in mapping :D
want to help PM me.

I also have other ideas for Brit/canadian map .

btw i am a slow worker since i'm a noob in the field of mapping.

i think they just need an assault type map (chemille, anzio) for the brits. that would be teh rocxs

because people are too dumb and dont know how to control recoil on THA BREN , but now that bren is like the bar i would expect the brits to become more popular .

enfield : twice the ammo then the kar . enfield = UBER K98
sten: same as thompson but looks cooler. sten = mp40/thompson
Bren: same as bar but holds 30 bullets instead of 20 , Bren= UBER BAR .

scopedEnfield:same as other scoped rifles but has twice the ammo load . ScopedEnfield = UBER SPRINGFIELD .
if u have a gun like the enfield u shouldn't be crying .
a gun like the Bren can make the axis Sturmtruppe(MP44) cry for help . so why hate the brits , their better .

why do people still choose yanks over brits
1# because they want a real MG so they can camp like a ***** .
2# they dont know how to strafe with a K98/Enfield.
3# they dont know how to control the recoil of the Bren .
4# because they are a skilless little punk .
brits are like a combination of the yanks and germs .

i used to like the maps "flugplatz" and "enemy01" until they removed the brits .

TBH, every map that I have in production are British maps, because I agree with you guys whole-heartedly..

People always complain that the Brits suck.. the problem is, there arn't enough MAPS with the British for them to make a decent impression. It's not the maps that ruin the Brits, persay, but it's the style of the maps..

How many Brit maps are there? 3..?

Yeah I know it sucks, the devs dont seem to care for them at all.

Sign up for BFE and join the Brit division.

We play Brits up to 12 hours a day, 2 days a week since 1.0 came out. On any custom map we want (thank you Stripper2/RIPENT)

We know a hell of a lot more about Brit playability than anyone else, devs included. :rolleyes:

Brits on Falaise kicks some major Axis ass :cool:

i agree with u its the style of maps that annoys me .
flugplatz was great until someone put the yanks on .
i would to see a version of CR44 and KALT with the brits on .

some good names for brit maps

dod_tommy (nick name of the british soldiers)
dod_churchill
dod_cromwell
dod_britain (battel of britain)
dod_market_garden




and some old b1.3 - 3.1b maps converted and have brits added .
dod_sicily with tha brits .
didn't the british send troops to help the norwegian resistance .
dod_oslo with the brits .

hey thanks for all your input and i hope this will bring some more maps in the way of brit/canadian.

please i think we need a good set of player skins like with the helmets with all the grass on it and all i would do it but i cant verry good and nothing comples for me and all :( so if some one can make a good set of canadians skins for me MUST BE 1.0 so i can use them its would be much like bye me and meny otheres.

I'm working on a map... based on Ortona, so it will include Brits (Canadians :p ). Hopefully I will finish this map. It is actually coming along further and nicer than any other map I've begun before.

I'm one of those mappers who have literally years of practice, but nothing completed. As soon as I figure out why compiling didn't work before (while ago), I will attempt to compile and post some screenies :D

hey im glad alot of peopel think the same as me LOL so im going ot start work on dod_marketgarden and im hopeing that when im done it will look just like the arnham city with the brige and i mean the life size brige LOL its going ot be huge like it was.

im thinking of useing the wads that come with the game the ones im thinking of are

anzio
avalanche
charlie
chemelle
jagd
kalt
zalic
caen
and all the other maps that come with the game and if i make
dod_marketgarden_b2 im hoping to have a all new set of wads that are just for this map but i need to know how first LOL.

if any one would like to help me do this Please PM me other wize im probaly not going ot get it done because ima nood at mapping LOL so as much help will me need.

plus i plane to use Jeds glider, jeds kubelwagen and some more.

im also hoping to have fireable AT guns in the map so u can hit "E" and the AT gun will fire :) :) i hope.

Well, you'll definitely have troubles bringing r_speeds down on that bridge ;)

I had a thought for an Arnhem map... Since the bridge is so famous, why not have a model of it in the background somewhere on the map... just to show that you are there.

And be careful of how many WADs you use. If you do use too many (over 8 I think), your map might not load. It happened to me and I fixed it by bringing the textures that I used into one WAD file.

how do u take the wads u use and put them into its one wad?

Open up Wally and copy the textures that you used from one wad into a new wad :)

how about creating a section in the mapping section only for brit map releases? would make the maps far easier to find

no.

As has been pointed out, doing maps like Arnhem for DoD 1.x is a bit of a pain because of the scale but why not approach it from a different angle?

I mean, for a start its not actually the British Airborne on DoD, just regular infantry so why not base a map around the XXX Corp advance to Arnhem Bridge - set it on the outskirts of one of one of the villages on the way to Arnhem, maybe add a few crashed Horsa's in fields?

- Jed

well im playing with brit airborne skins so that y but i was thinking of have advaning spown like the first part is the move into arnham and the seced part is whe u are tryingot tak the bridge

Swede: I know english may not be your first language, but try not to type so fast, it comes out wrong. Slow and steady is the way.

Secondly, Arnhem, a classic scenario...yet there are no decent maps for it. The reason? Its just too big for what people want to do in HL1.

I think the british would work really well on a small non-linear CTF similar to anzio or chemille. They lack the machinegun to compete on linear maps but their autos are really good for close quarter maps. An Operation Husky map or Operation Torch would be hawt.

hey im think im goin got try a brit normandy map or some thing like that but i dont know yet and i here u guys dont like to see pics of a map from the edator? some some thims i cant be bothered to comple it just to take screen shots if u know what i mean so i might have a fow justy so u guays can tell me if it look alright ok.

they've made the accuracy on all the guns a bit better since this one came out...whether or not the gameplay has changed on this map i'm not really sure.

2009 views and counting

As said in the replies, 10k of epoly is not fun, considering everywhere is a combat area, the 700 wpoly brings problems when combined with the 10k+ epoly. Its a good try, but just turns into pure long range DM rifle wars from when I've played it, which is fun for 30 seconds.
