Falaisevilla is a good one from what I have seen. :D

[Ech0]

As long as it's not another Russkie map I don't really care to much.

I've already got some of those so I'll have a closer look and report back.

[Ech0]

Falaisevilla is a bit small from what I've seen.

[r1ncewind]

st lo and ardennes are good maps to play.
st lo is a cod version of the one from moh which was rather snazzy. 8O
had a go of ardennes as well and it seemed pretty decent.
pity that the indiana jones and the last crusade map isnt there as that looks a fun one to play.
my vote.....st lo.

[Ech0]

Having a look through some of the maps I've hit upon this one.

It's called "Varaville" and some of you have already played it on the Wild Bunch server. We played a game type called conquest on it. However it is equally well suited for TDM.

A brief description of it is Dawnville at night and burning! You are sure to recognize the church and graveyard and some of the other buildings. The sky is lit up with ak-ak fire and you can see the bombers in formation flying high over head. On an empty map the whole town has a distinctly eerie atmosphere that takes me anyway back to the more tense moments in the single player game.

If you haven't got it already here's the link.

If you don't like this map there's summat up with ya! 8)

Ok, I've played Varaville too, it's much bigger than the original Dawnville and the internal layout of some of the buildings has changed - you can get upstairs to most of them but the back route thru the graveyard is closed off before the end building.
Axis v Brits, you need a minimum of 10 players - spawn points are a long way to the action.

As for the others on Pup's list these are the one's I've played...

Biggerbrecourt - Axis v Americans
Not very recognisable to the original, although it does have some fields with trenches, the action centres on Brecourt Manor itself. Slightly disappointing map, you can't enter many of the buildings for instance and it seems too disjointed. It would need a lot of players to make this work.

Offensive (no longer beta) Axis v Americans
Small, urban, winter, night-time map. Excellent map for both riflemen and run & gun merchants. Narrow, with a small rail depot at one end and houses at the other, the buildings in between lend themselves to ambushes and the 2 "squares" killing grounds for snipers. Very professionally made.

Canal - Axis v Americans
Small, urban, night-time map. Small town split by a canal -not deep so it can be walked across - a bridge and tunnel can also be used. Very claustrophobic in the streets, with the buildings close together, lot's of hidey-holes and sniping posts - good for rifles & smgs.

Falaisevilla - Axis v Americans
Large daytime map, with farm buildings in a lower field (must get Ted to look at the drainage) leading up to lots of large ruined houses. Large map, but a good balance of play for both rifles & smgs - needs 10+ players though or it can get boring.

Maaloy - Axis v Brits
Based upon a Norwegian fishing village. Operation Archery was an attack on a German battery & garrison by Norwegian & British commandos.
Quality, medium sized map, night-time with several buildings all leading down a hillside to a small harbour. Good for rifles & smgs.

Pegasus Day & Night - Axis v Americans (!)
From the single-player map, these are sniper heaven. You spawn on side of the river, the other team the other. Only one way to get across.

Saint-lo - Axis v Americans
Urban, daytime map. Good layout of buildings, so both rifles & smgs will enjoy this one - as with Carentan soem of the spawn-points can become killing grounds with lots of players.

Shackleford - Axis v Brits
Large, outdoor, daytime map. Similar in style to Brecourt, 2 ridges overlook each other across a small stream. With a few ruined buildings here and there, this favours the rifles and would need 10 players minimum or you'd fall asleep. Well made tho'.

Streetwar - Axis v Americans
Large, daytime map - one of the first custom maps and it shows. However, despite this it plays very well, especially with 10+ players. Essentially a long rectangle there are lots of various sized buildings, two tunnels and watch-towers all of which enable rifles & smgs to get among the kills. Try to avoid frying in the burning plane wreckage though.

Westwall - Axis v Brits
Large, night-time map. Open fileds with a trench, gun emplacement & farm buildings. From what I recall both sides spawn in the same places each time - Axis in a the farm buildings, Brits across the trench. Favours the snipers/rifles on both sides as it is difficult to get up close & personal.

Wolfsquare_publicbeta - Axis v Americans
Very large urban, daytime map. Needs a minimum 10+ as the town is big, but a well made map and is balanced for rifles & smgs.

I'd vote for Offensive - it's a quality map and everyone will get something out of it.

[Wags]

Nice summary villan. Yes, Offensive is a very nice map. I've only played it once, but it was very atmospheric and being night-time is a bit different to the usual maps we play. After due consideration, I'd also vote for this one 8) .

[Envoy]

I am Offensive also........ :)

[pup]

cheers guys

ok in the interest of making a decision and having looked at everyones comments we shall give Saint Lo and Offensive maps a whirl this time round, then probably ardennes and varaville next time if thats ok?

i shall set up the server this afternoon with those two on it

That's great by me too, looking forward to giving them a whirl.

Very good map reviews Villan, now where have I read "run and gun merchants" before hehe.

Glad Varaville will be up next time around as we lack a second Axis v Brits map. Also we can maybe play conquest on it?!

[pup]

mmm just tried to join the server to try the new offensive map out and punkbuster wouldnt let me because of the offensive pk3 file as it did not recognise it as an allowed pk3 file

ok i think we might experience a few teething problems here :?

[russellg81]

just delete the pk3 files in queston that it shows in you main folder





sry justed look at the couple of posts before it :oops:

[shifty]

OOOOhhhh so many places to get killed :D
There is one that is not on the list,I played just recently
think it`s called Winter 2.
A bit like Rocket but no where near as large,very good for both machine guns and rifles,and some really nice large round bunkers,with tunnels included.

[willofgod]

Ech0 and trust will like Offensive, on one side its got some houses that overlook a courtyard and quite a large area of map which make excellent sniping positions! You might like it.

That said Envoy and I like to sneak in behind and deal some lead or do some clubbing for our kicks! It can really kick off in that area, excellent fun!

That other side of the map in the train yard is a bit boring though.

[r1ncewind]

ive played this map on another server and dl it from them.
for some reason it wont work on our server 8O
curioser and curioser

[pup]

to be certain that its the correct version of the map that is playing on our server then its probably best to download it from our server... slow i know

move the version you have out of your main folder into your screenshots one and start again im afraid
