JKA Battle of Caretan

to find multiple reference screenshots via google and also a top down map shot. From these screenshots I can see that it is a pretty good replica of the CoD2 map, with both the textures and architecture being very close. Bit I was most impressed with the layout, that, bar a few differences, is very similar to the layout of the original CoD2 map. The one major difference is the entrance area which in the original was a kind of dirt road I think, whereas in this the same area is more of a walled off garden which definitely doesn't look as authentic to the original map or what the real life area would have been like. This map is fantastic for gun FFA players since it has some narrow winding streets and plenty of buildings to hide in, fight in and snipe from. There are a few demolished walls here and there and a nice semi-demolished house that must have been hit by a bomb or shell. The level of detail in the map is fairly simple, but that isnt really a bad thing in this case as that usually fits better with a hardcore guns FFA type map. A few suggestions I would make as to improvements though are the following: [*] Make some more natural looking terrain for the grassy areas, since they look a little too angular at the moment. [*] Don't forget to place a wedge shaped brush covered in the system/noclip texture over your stairs so you don't get that annoying bouncing up and down when you walk up them! Doing this will make walking up the stairs nice and smooth. [*] Work a little more on the lighting, perhaps using a sun entity as shown in this excellent tutorial. [*] Some custom WW2 themed music would be cool! [*] Bot support would be a big plus on a map like this. Overall though this is a cool map, and like I say, brilliant for all guns FFA's! If that is your kind of thing, or you were a fan of the original Call of Duty 2 map, then be sure to give this a download! :) [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]New Music:[/b] No [b]Bot Routes:[/b] No [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, TFFA ~Nozyspy~
Here we have a new map from MageC based on the Call of Duty 2 map which is in turn based on the WW2 Battle of Carentan. I have never played CoD2 since its not really my kind of game, but I was able
