I got bored.

I'm building it now...

I like the Outdoor maps with bulidings like Ardenses, Destoryed Village, Gewitter, etc.

[Tripper]

Destroyed Village is a great map.

I am a Rifle and SMG Whore and I rack up the most points on DV....It's great, the best thing about it is the cover.....And the fact that there is no real area that people are trying to get to....The aim seems to be just pushing foward in a huge circle....

The cover is excellent, you can get to any point of the map without going into a huge open space. The long clearways are good because that eliminates shottie whores.

Could someone tell me a few of the servers you guys use?....I just got ADSL
(no cable available where I live cry: ), I'd like to drop in and have my arse handed to me on a platter!

I play on Aussie/NZ Servers on ADSL.....I still can't manage to get on U.S servers with very good pings.

What Aussie/NZ Servers you play on? What name do you go by?

[Eight Ace]

Because of bad ping & sucky skillz...I've been using the name Sgt. Dick Stroker.
I tended to grab any game thats not too crowded on ASE, but since I've got ADSL,
I've only played BF1942 on whats called "Xtra Retail Server 3" - Coral Sea map.

Yeah, I don't play BF.....But that server will be a NZ one, hence, Xtra...

I play on the Xtra servers for MOHAA and SH....Occasionally on the Internode and Optus servers...

Here's the blueprint for my map so you can see what I have in mind.

This was drawn whilst at work in MS Paint so it's crude and not to scale but it's a good representation (in plan-view) of what I'm making.

The theme will be a cross between Remagen and Bridge and I'm still debating with myself whether to make it destroyed or not, although it will most likely be fully intact.

[Ydiss]

Here it is again but with approximations of where I plan to put spawns, red for axis blue for allies of course.

I've kept them segregated but both teams can spawn at either end so it won't be like Remagen, more like Crossroads.

DM spawns will be all over the map.

[Ydiss]

Here's an alternative spawn pattern for TDM:

This is more like DV's spawns, except this map will noto be quite so narrow so it shouldn't pose the same problems that DV has with spawns.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Ydiss]

Also, feel free to use the original source map at the top and add your own alterations so long as you agree to only post them here and not use them for anything else.

So far I've only built a small section of road and the bridge in the middle, so this is still open to public suggestions.

Sorry for the spam...

This is a link to the original bitmap for a much clearer view, I linked it because it is a large file:

About 2 hours or so, I was doing it at work between calls. All I used was the square, line and fill tools in paint hehe. I'd already drawn it on paper so it wasn't too hard.

I did this for xfire too, I prefer to design methodically, makes the actual building so much easier.
