I am going to be the lone voice of dissent.

It's a good map on it's own. It resembles dod_caen. However there are major changes to the map that *was* caen. Like I said, it's a very playable map... and to be fair the author didn't actually name it caen... but to compare this to dod_caen is like comparing dod_jagd to, well, dod_jagd (for Source), only more attempt has been made here to at least make it LOOK the same.

This is by no means a true-to-the-mold copy of dod_caen like Strand was to dod_charlie. If anyone has that impression from reading this thread (as I did) let that end right here.

I have to agree with you. While this map may end up being a fun city based map, it seems to just not be that close to the old Caen. In that other Caen thread floating around, there were several authors who seem to have had much better success at directly porting the map over. I think Caen is one of those maps, much like Charlie/Strand, that needs to either be done right, or not at all. The people that so passionately want Caen remade seem to want a direct port. And as Wily stated, this is not. So I would try to limit the connection to Caen. Perhaps it can be altered more to make it more 'authentic' but I don't see that happening.

goodwood is a very nice map to play so i don't see the problem.

@dobbles81...my map goodwood is a personal adaption of caen.. people like the map or hate it. the same as on each other map.

goodwood is a very nice map to play so i don't see the problem.Oh yes I definitely agree - it's a very good map. I just wanted to make a clear distinction that this is not the same Caen as the previous version.... No one should be under the guise that it is a "source port" of the map or that it plays out like the old previous Caen.

The author chose to make several changes to the map, I assume for balancing issues from his personal standpoint, and these changes greatly affect the way the map plays out. Only the basic route layout, location of flags and "look" of Caen was kept.

you are very right. just let me add 2 aspects.
a) i guess green (and i think he stated that himself) never even tried to create a perfect caen port. that's why the map is named dod_goodwood.
b) even the best caen port will never even get close to the original. e.g. a sniper will never lay at the same spot for let's say 10 minutes like it was possible in the classic version. it will be faster. that's source. so be it.
