This is a sneak peak at a map I just started yesterday evening. It will be a two part series:

dod_market
dod_garden

Both based obviously on Market Garden. They will be based in farm areas of Holland.. Small Town, but main focused on hedges and foliage fighting. Layout is drawn up for market. Ill keep it updated as more comes. However things might be slow due to my work on another mod, but these maps should provide a nice break from the modern day theme of the other mod I am mapping for.

What do you guys think?

i dont see anything

sorry. just edited :p

looks pretty good so far. how about an overhead shot so we can get an idea of the layout? I'm very interested to see if people come up with more interesting routes.

WERD!!!


Looks like you are using BoB as a reference for the houses....


Are you going to include the barn too??!!?!?!

Looks good so far for what you've shown us, can't wait to see the layout of the entire map tho ;)



--Ozz

ya a barn is planned. :p

and probably no layout pics until next week as i am still finishing it up. but that came in about 5 hours work and there is more that i didnt show.. lets just say the beautifully done props and textures of dod:source make mapping alot more enjoyable and easier, so things shouldn't take too long.

looking good!!! :)

looks nice man

VERY nicely done!

I am looking forward to this one!

Looking good Keep it up....

thats alot of detail to throw around a single house. It looks good but i think its a bit much, I dont know how well this kind of map will run. Maybe im wrong. In anycase lets see some more content sometime later so we can actually critique :)

Spent about 2 hours tonight adding the some more of the layout. The houses and barn(the brown blocks :P ) are still incomplete, as i am trying to get the layout done before completin em'.. anyways, these shot give a better feel for the hedges i am trying to add. Again, very very very early, but hopefully within a month or so it will start looking like a functional map ;)

Looking very good!

Just a little nit-pick ;)
- On the sign "Paris, Caen" the distance is typed "km" not "Km" :D

you can blame valve for that :p

OMG! This map is looking visually great!

But from that overview I think gameplaywise it could turn into an MG kill fest... Try to place a bit of Hay or something else on that large green field on the lower left side of this screen (http://www.jonmichaelcreations.com/dod_market4_2.jpg) otherwise it'll be an all out MG killing spree...

Looking great and looking foward to get it running with HDR I hope :D

Glad to ear it :)

Btw I think the barn looks a little pale... It could probably do better with a few custom textures but I'm no expert... :rolleyes:

lol are you joking or serious?

because its just 3 boxed brushes right now for placement :p

havent started on it yet, just where its going to be :p

looking real good man. I really like the displacement on the gravel road, but I'd make it a little less obvious. it seems almost round. can't wait to see how this one turns out!

LOOOOOOOL that shows me: never take a look at a screen without glasses LOOOL :D

maps looking great man keep up the good work

It looks very good thus far, I'm looking forward to seeing more as well. How big is it going to be in general, or how much of the map is the area we've seen in the pictures? I like that it's open, more cover probably would be good, but not too much. Keep it up.

Looks good, Im gonna keep my eye on ythis map :cool:

Sir_Winston your from the HoB forums are you not?

Looking good, great use of the foilage models.

For the Paris Km sign is it supposed to be Km or km?

It's km (well at least in the UK it is :o)

Make it a large map we need more:D

Looking good ma8:dog:

It's km, all abreviations are small letters. The same way it would be cm for centimeters or mm for millimeters, and so on

Beautiful work!
I'm glad you chose operation Market-Garden for the setting.
The road with its curved surface is great!

Looking very good! Where did you get the tank models and dod textures?! :confused:

in the dod source gcf.

TY!! :D

Give me real dod:s maps, The people need them!! Hurry,Hurry, before they leave, feed the masses!!


{GR} make Gun Runners the best!!

It's set in Holland, yet is closer to Caen than Paris?

¬_¬

Jokes aside, it's looking good, nice new layout that should make for a very good change to the norm.

ya i want a sign that says "California ->" or perhaps "Canada ->"

:P

Holy :donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs:, that so :donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs::donrluvs:ing sweet, you're a genius :)

Very nice, but u need sumthing at the surrounding area.

It looks promising and I´m sure if you keep up the good work it will be a blast.

Very nice! Like the map itself and the idea for it (foliage fighting)

Makes me wish you could ahem.. drop in.

hmm. what was that old map that had spawns from the plane that transporterd you to the map?

sounds like beta 3.1 para_glider.
