Hawk, a user of our dod.de-forums, has posted new pics of his current project DoD_Temple. I think this is something other than those everytime-i-map-a-battle-in-a-village maps. Here are some pictures:

The Story:

Afrika/Ägypten - 1942

25. Juni 1942
German Scouts found a secret temple - not far away from lybia.

Some days later...:

Generalfeldmarschall Rommel said in Order of the "Führerhauptquartier" that they have to see what there is and stole all which is golden (omg, i can´t translate very good).

Inside of the temple, they fell into a ambush of british soldiers.

Plz post your comments about the map.

loosk promising, but it need sum trees and a better skybox, i think..

nice Hawk, looking very good!

Nice to see some difference in location. But I hope that he hasn't cloned some Serius Sam map here.

The consept is very cool. Original!

Splendid :D

My suggestion is some palm trees

looks abit 'clean' to me, if its an ancient egyptian temple wouldn't it be abit more dirty and broken down?

Other then that its looking very nice.

Agreed...:)

new sand texture needed (try de_dust.wad or charlie.wad), new crates needed (try glider.wad). Nice original idea.

The textures seem to new and harsh. Theyre supposed to be 5000 years old

Man o man that map looks really cool. I can't wait to give it a try.

I agree with some of the other guys about a possible skybox change, but other than that it looks like a lot of fun.

GOOD JOB.

Jix

Very nice!

Looks like Indiana Jones :D

yeahh nice --- release it :D

VERY NICE! we need another front to fight and Afrika seems just perfect. It does need a little "age" added and some better looking sandbags. This also calls for some Afrika Corps Germans and the good old desert knickers for the brits. Good job man.

I think the sky box is fine, but they are right about it needing to look older, still, it looks GREAT.

New pics:

very very nice....textures are fine. Palm trees would be nice, but unless you know how to model, I wouldnt bother(or make a req. in model forum.)

BTW xerent, I was wondering if it was ok if i or some admin could post in the models section to post map models in the mapping forum. As often they never get seen by any of us. A sticky would be really nice, but I just felt like i had to ask permision

Wow, that looks amazing.

very nice, its like a cross between aztec from Goldeneye on N64 and Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark.

Today we´ll run an playtest. Expect more pics soon.

I think it looks great! It'll be nice to have a change of scenery, and it seems well made. Just make sure to make an overview for it!

i already tested it and what can i say, it looks good and it´s good to play!

;)

Very nice pics...

Looks very good- but heavily influenced by Wolfenstein Enemy Territory's desert map (haven't played that, but have seen the pix).

Hmm... I was considering my next map was gonna be something out of a Indiana Jones theme, but I might have a hard time beating that. Looks very good I must say....

Doesnt really show much. Why post two pics of dead axis soldier?

maybe he was showing us the desert models that would go well with the map.

Again, a new update:

Go hawky Go hawky!

Yes.. finally.. I hope this starts a new trend to the African frontier..

Very "Indiana Jones"...:D

Seriously...looks like the desert end of ww2 is going to be seen in DoD very soon :)

Hmm... the pics dont work for me.

"404 not found"

But yes, I would love to see the incorporation of Afrika Korps into DoD.

Plus Japan and stuff like that, but thats a whole nother deal.

Expect a release... soon.

Looks quite good.

Change the sky tho.

What would you suggest a good desert sky be?

I see that the map is mostly indoor so there doesnt have to be a exact "desert sky"

There are good "blue sky" skys in DoD 1.0.
That default sky just makes me sick
