  Thanks:
  
  To Treyarch for a great game, your modtools, your support in the game and the tools. Best Wishes to all of you with Black Ops.
  
  Special thanks to my wife who never called the police to report a missing husband……
  
  Behind the scenes:
  
  Many if not all of you will recognize the underlying basis for Stronghold. It is indeed Bessie that shipped with the modtools. This map had always attracted me to it with its basic layout and yet it constantly spoke to me in hushed tones that it needed to breath.
  
  I had started another map called Gavutu for the pacific ocean setting. This map was just not coming together for me at all. But, I had built some new prefabs for it and just for fun I placed them in Bessie. The rest is history. The look stayed similar but the content of Bessie changed radically. It is my hope that with the map opened up the way that I approached it you will find a map that gives all player styles something to enjoy.
  
  This map was about a 250 hour labour of enjoyment. I don’t map fast as you can see. But I do hope that the time spent will translate into fun for all of you who play it. I don’t consider this my map in so much as I view it as a RGN project and for that reason alone I do invite all my friends there to take a bow as you, not me, made this map what it is. My thanks to all who helped with it and nursed it along.
  
  There will most likely be another release of this map as a new script, being developed, becomes available. Also, a new version of this map is currently under construction so as to convert this map to the RGN Vietnam Mod.
  
  Feedback is very important to me so please let me know if you find anything wrong, glitchy or in need of attention.

Stronghold is a marvelous map. Very well done!

Here is the new download link from FileFront....

Mp_Stronghold Final_v2

Updated the main download link in the original post. Couldn't keep the filefront image as it kept giving me a 404 error :|

Anyway, great looking map, you should have pm'd me as I think releases should be posted to main page from now on to help get more attention.

Thanks Techno2sl.

Very much appreciate the frontpage exposure. I never would have thought of pm'ing you for something like that. Thanks also for updating the main link in the first post, I tried to do that but the time had expired.

My thanks again to everyone who gave me feedback and for trying the map. I enjoyed making it and Im now working on a conversion of this map for Zeroy's Vietnam Mod. News to follow on that later.
