If that map idea is based in the Ardennes Forest, it's a already been done for DoD:S (for a long time too.)

I have never seen a map like that and there is no map called dod_band_of_brothers and its not based on Ardennes Forest its just a cool place i saw watching band of brothers there was a firefight in it.

Uhh, the snowy forest firefight scenes in BoB? Where do you think that was? The Ardennes Forest.

Looks like a paintball map. One side would spawn camp the heck outa the other.

The map i just thoguht of looks nothing like that and if it cant be named dod_band_of_brothers then ill name it like dod_snowyforest or somthing can some1 just please make the map. and about the spawning your team will have 2 work so that that dosent happen and its a thick forest except for the front line of trees.

I'm afraid theres more to it, then someone 'just making a map'.

I have a good map in mind

Your best bet is probably to learn Hammer yourself.

...and not to pile on, but this is similar to someone saying, I have a great idea for a movie or book -- can someone go write it for me?
The level of effort is immense, the idea is the spark perhaps, but is only about 1% of the solution.

but is only about 1% of the solution.I betcha it's less than that, maybe .001%. :p

hehe, maybe so, Formo -- hey, I've got this neat idea about a sleepy little french town, maybe starts with an "R" -- interested? ;)

Making a map takes time!

As a beginner i have already spent more than 100 hours on dod_caumont & almost 30hrs on dod_hamburgerhill...

It would be interesting to have some opinions of mappers over the time which they devoted to their map.

Between 450 (DoD_Edelweiss) and 950 (DoD_Nightingale) hours, I'd say.

At least for the Source maps I made in the last year... :]

Exactly...mapping in Source is alot more labor intensive that it was on the Goldsource engine.
