A little video of the map, i am working on right now. As the title says, action takes place somewhere in East Prussia during The East Prussian Offensive in February 1945. You play as Red Army soldier fighting to conquer liberate East Prussia.
For video I just put together some captured footages, so its no fancy thing.

I thought nobody would make something like this... Great map!

By the way, looks nice, but a bit too flat... Did you try to use terrian patches and options from Advanced Patch Editing widnow? It would improve the realism of the map. And some more details like decals, bushes, more trees would look nice (maybe even a lake?). Also the destroyed vehicles at the start of the map. I would make them more look... random. At the moment it doesn't resemble the chaos of war. They are too 'regular'.


And one more thing, don't think that this map looks bad. Some details look fantastic, but there's still some work to be done. Didn't you think to find somebody to cooperate with and make a whole campaign?

Thanks!

Actually all terrain is made out of terrain patches and it actually isnt very flat- probably because of the snow texture it looks flat. But I will try to make it more realistic. Also, I dont use Advanced Patch Editing, I move vertices by hand as this usually gives better results.

There is actually a lot of work to be done.
I first try to complete general level geometry and gameplay stuff and then start adding more trees , decals and other stuff.

I dont have much time anymore and besides I'm more like lone wolf regarding to mapping.

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely improve the things, you pointed out.

Thanks for reply

I noticed one more thing: no comrades. Do you know friendlychains? Are you planning to add some Russians who will help the player during the battle? You know, it looks strange when some alone russian soldier fights against countless Germans. It was rather like "massive soviet horde against a couple of Wehrmacht soldiers and some poor-trained people from Volkssturm" in 1945. But I know that in this case the player wouldn't have much to do and it's not a complain. Nevertheless, adding 2 or 3 'tovarichs' would add some realism (especially because you start mission in a convoy and later, without a reason, you advance alone).

Actually there is a very good reason, why you are alone. I simply didnt put that sequence in the video.
But I'm probably going to put in some comrades (as CoD motto says, No one fights alone).

Yeah, I realised that fact later because one can hear some noises of advancing vehicles which seem to be these which you are riding with in the beginning.

UPDATE:

Looks very good, but maybe you can add some details to the map? Because the landescape looks very empty.

Thanks, and yes, landscape needs unfortunately some serious work.

Did you spot that texture at 3:01?
