DoD_Highlander_rc1 now available for public play!

The map is 32-player compatible and should run nicely :)

A big thanks to CoolHandLuke, who has helped me every step of the way. Also thanks to everyone who has helped beta test the project as it's progressed, you were all great.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the bug reports are few and far between :D

Get your place quick... ;)

Great looking map mate, looking forward to playing it. If it's based on the Scottish highlands, it should be raining though, always raining;)

Hah shot Jake that tralier music is funny :P
Well done man I'll be playin this

Looks sweet, I'm definitely checking this out as soon as I get a chance.

Nice map.

Plays well.

Good atmosphere.

The footstep sound through the grass gets a little annoying though,(it reminded us of the sound easter basket grass makes). Is there a way to turn that sound down by half on the next release?

WOW! This map looks absolutely fantastic! Reminds me of Oblivion! :eek:

gamer take note: 99% of the props are geared towards the village/town scenario so making a map with another settings is quite hard unless you are a modeller!

Good job on the map, very original...well done!

Just had a lone walk on the map and it is great! It should be great with other players.

I also found the skybox easter egg, has anyone found it too?

Check PM...found something you need to be aware of.

Adding mirror now :-) (@LanmaniaX)

thanks, everyone. I'm glad it's enjoyable, and it's been nice meeting a lot of you 'in-game' as well :cool:

thanks for the mirrors!

@FD: got it, thanks.

Awesome map!!!

Cheers, Kurt

The map is a great change from the city/village maps....only thing is, that crappy footstep sound that you can hear half way across the map.
I have never heard a person run making that much noise in grass
unless it was dry..which that isn't.
Still good map.

Good fraggin with you on FNF tonight, Jake. The map is TRULY a pleasure...gameplay and great lookin' to boot. We'll be trotting this more, welcome back any time.

Looking forward to seeing what you have next for this one and any other maps.

Looks sweet, ill give it atry

shot jake it looks pretty fun man

Nice work! This is a fun map.. still waiting to see a server running it with 32 players. :D

Great map, lots of fun to play. Can imagine it being even better with a few more people as we only had 6 in our playtest.

Keep up the good work :)

very orgasmic
:eek:

Beautiful and very different map, great fun to play on both sides, especially finding good spots to set up an mg. Congrats and kudos for some excellent work!

This looks awesome, ill give it a shot.

thanks for the comments, guys, I really appreciate it. Hadn't touched highlander for over a month until tonight. Building things in real life took over for a while (masonry) :p but I'm hoping to chip away at it and knock out a final release within a week or so... stay tuned i suppose :D

I played it a couple of days ago, really good fps o my system so maybe you could pimp it up with more eyecandy and bushes and stuff? So what fps do all of you getting? Any big drops?

Really, really nice map and I didn´t get sniped as much as I thought I would, actually I didn´t get sniped once by a sniper but IS:ed a couple of them with the Garand.

in rc1, FPS seems like it does really well on most systems until the player count reaches about 20-25... anything above that and everything slows down on most peoples machines. :(

but i've trimmed some of the fat, upped the vis-blocking, and tweaked a tweak here and there so hopefully final version coming soon will be ready to rock at max player capacity
