Posted October 5, 200520 yr Yup, few day's up and there are already a few custom maps out. Here's a "review" of 3 custom's me and SneakyArab played... lol. omaha- Basicly a version of charlie. Except on this version, it is so biased against the allies its not even funny. I mean, to the point where it's just absurd and impossible. It's not that great of a remake of charlie either, infact, much much worse. Rating: 0.4/10. And i'm being kind. Snowland- Imagine if WWII would have happened in antartica. This is this map. It's an all out sniper map, although machine guns and sniper rifles are not allowed, so it's largly based on rifles. This one too is quite a bit biased, however, it has some nice fog effects, and isn't a "bad" map if you have a lot of players. It's very, very big. Rating: 5/10. Not bad, but then again very agrivating at times. Battle Creek- Now, imagine in WWII that nazi germany somehow went to halo, and got a base there. That is this. It is a literal, completly the same (the size is the exact same) renderition of Battle creek from Halo. Basicly said, its a SPAMFEST, and thats underexagerating. Even though it's a realy stupid map, me and sneaky found it kind of funny. (it even has the teleporters) Rating: 7/10. A huge spamfest, but funny as hell. Well, that's some ratings of some of the custom maps so far.

I played on Frenchy's, and there were no weapon-bans. I hope they -did- put an end to sniper rifles on this map. Mann!
October 6, 200520 yr IMO the good map makers need to hurry up. The crappy map makers who dont test their maps or even attempt to think them through need to go away.
October 7, 200520 yr IMO the good map makers need to hurry up. The crappy map makers who dont test their maps or even attempt to think them through need to go away. it's easier and faster to make crappy maps that seem good than good maps that are, trust me, I would know been considering mapping for DOD: S myself, just can't think of anything to do
October 9, 200520 yr Just wait untill the guys at Kustom Kettle start pumping out custom maps for source, some of the people there are really good map makers.
October 9, 200520 yr yeah, ive drawn out a pretty intense map layout, and done some of the basic basic basic geometry for it in the dev textures, and ill convert that to the DoD:s FDG when its released, with all the HDR textures and entities. im so psyched to work with some new textures.
October 23, 200519 yr Recreate some FA maps for it :peace: Like durandal, just say it's in north africa.
October 23, 200519 yr Hmmm, good idea actually. i just scrapped the one i was working on, because after a test run, i realized it would take far too long, and needs a full house game for it to be worth anything.
