Nice looking pictures, I dont know if it's just me but it looks abit modern, I cant put my finger on what it is but it looks abit too present day rather than 1940's. Might help if you remove the yellow and black striped clearance lines (I dont think they would be in a German Submarine pen, I could be wrong though as there arn't too many interior pictures of U-boat pens).
Otherwise looking forward to having a wander round :)

I think it's the forklift. That's the only thing that stood out in my eyes.
Looking absolutely wonderful, though, ultra.

.... and the red lights? Made me think of Unreal Tournament (a bit).
Apart from that tiny nitpick - looks fantastic :)

Think you may be right with it being the forklift, though those clearance lines still dont look right to me.
Perhaps also replace that AA with a u-boat deck gun if you can get one modelled.

Just a couple more suggestions, obviously will be able to tell better once the map is released.

Glad ya like it !
@Hintzmann - no overview yet, still working on outside area
@Waffen Sturm - the uboat is not based on a real uboat, has similaritites
@gimpy117 - the uboat is not enterable
Red Lights and Forklifts were used during WW2 !

:eek: new_b... you're insane. In the best of ways...
I just don't understand how you accomplish so much... quality... and the versatility.

Small update. Almost done the outside area now. This is the allied first spawn point, coming up the road to the Axis mountain complex.

Around 10 - 15% I'd guess.

Does this have anything to do with Flurry? (pretty cool, looks contiguous with that map)
Also, what happened to your big Stalingrad-esque urban map?
ultranew_b
02-09-2007, 03:52 PM
Nothing to do with Flurry whatsoever.
dod_push is not dead at all. I'm still working on it, I got sidetracked with this map dod_u471, that's all.

Very nice map, thanks to 415 for hosting a play test tonight. The inside of the building was quite confusing, but maybe just because it was my first time playing. I never found out how to get outside after you spawn inside.

Hey guys,
After a very informative playtest with the guys from 415 clan. B2 is almost ready to go. All the issues found in B1 have been fixed. Should be a release within a day or two.
Thanks to 415 clan for testing.
