I am a mapper that enjoys making maps for DoD:S and was wandering what people want to see in a map or those who want a certain map. So ask for a map you want and if others want that map too than I'll do that one.

Note* Once I start working on this I'll need everyone to ask once and a while "How's it comming" or something like that so I keep working on it since I have a bad habbit of making on and stopping in the middle.

Once I start working I'll try and get the pics out as soon as possible for you all to see and I'll keep you all updated as much as possible. After a two week period I'll start working on the map with the most requests.

I'd love to see a realistic (as much as possible) DoD:S version of the battle on the dike in Band of Brothers' Crossroads. Particularly the night attack. The lighting has the appearance of moonlight, so it wouldn't have to be one of those "can't see your nose in front of your face" type night maps:

For DoD:S gameplay purposes, you may have to add some type of cover in what are mostly huge open areas. But I say include mortars, nice ambient night sounds, and it could be a winner!

It would be great if you could get some help with a quality texture or model for the weeds/tall grasses. *cough*pedroleum*cough*

Hmm. I could make a map of this and add the stuff like you said. If enough people agree with you on this I'll make it.

*NOTE* I've reduced the time limit on these requests to 1 week.

I think that would be agood idea, With things like fog and houses to make it a little less open? maybe add some rain too. But yeah if you fill the empty area a little and be creative this could be a sweet map

I do this too lol

Yep, same here.... though I usually ending up breaking my map and being unable to fix it. :mad:

Yeah, anything from Band of Brothers would make a good map. I would like to see a map based on the scene outside of Carentan, where the Germans were attacking from atop a ridge, and the U.S. army was dug in at the bottom. I was gonna try that one myself, but I don't think I'll be making it for a while.

Maybe add some rocks and trees for cover, and have the tanks already destroyed?

Carentan's been done already though. Not that you couldn't have your own interpretation...but...heck maybe this Crossroads thing has been done too, for all I know.

I have to strongly disagree with putting houses or rain in the crossroads map. You want players familiar with BoB to recognize instantly where they are.

Cover can still be used, just think more natural obstacles and terrain. High grasses, the odd rock, etc. Don't stray out of the bounds of the source otherwise you may as well do your own concept.

Both of these are good suggestions, but I'm not sure what to do for the objectives on the Crossroads. Suggestions on this?

Also, I don't think there has been a Carentan map version like the one in BoB. The only DoD:S map I've seen with carentan as the map was like for a 2v2 scrim lol. If there is one though let me know.

I'd like a map like Donner, but with more accessible buildings. No need for a very complex design, just a few big streets with buildings.

There is a map dod_donner_extended. No extra streets but just about every building is accesible and there are few extra alleys.

Never heard of it, but thanks for telling me about it. Here's another idea instead:

Have 1 team arrive via train into a station. The other team can take up positions in the mean time (but don't let the defenders get too close to the train). Have you played Call of Duty 1? They have a great battle, just like that.
Lots of cover is necessary!

This is due Saturday the 13th. Post what you want or back-up someone elses idea. The one with the most request to it will be made.

Doing a map based on the video I posted is tricky. Because what it really involves is the Allies "sneaking around" to shoot them from the backside.

Therefore, a real bonafide version of this would mean there's a WHOLE OTHER section, where the Germans are actually expecting the Allied attack. That shown in the night attack on the dike is merely the flanking route to a held position.

So, done properly it's an Assault map (i.e. Attack/Defend).

Perhaps the rest of the episode may hold a clue to a layout, but this is tough to do given the nature of action movie shots.

I started to map this. I have done a basic layout for my map:

Any suggestions? :cool:

I think I can make the map that Ol Noodle Head posted a certain way so that the area shown in the movie can be a flanking area for the Allies to use in the Assault. I think I could really make this map work out well cause I have several ideas on what to do and make it look like the scene in BoB. So far that one has the most votes for it so it could be in the works starting tomorrow.

The exact time of this request thread being finished will be 12:00 EST US time, on the 13th of October. After I have veiwed the map request and which one has the best support to it (others who said they would like to see that map) will be worked on after I've veied this post tomorrow. I'll also post the winning request soon after the deadline. Once the winning map is chosen I will realease what I can ASAP after beginning work on it.

Well, It looks like the winning request is The Crossroad in BoB which was suggested by Ol' Noddle Head. I shall get to work on this immediately and I'll keep you all up to date with this map as I work on it. I will PM pedroleum and see if he can mabey make me a nice grass texture with some tall weeds.

Any suggestions? :cool:

More cover, more trees, and maybe advancing spawns?
