Hello fellas,

I'm here for the Competative COD2 Community (CAL, CB, TMGL). For us euro players this game is getting really boring because of nearly no good "competative" cod2 maps. The only maps that get played are: toujane, dawnville, carentan, matmata, burgundy.

With that said, i'm looking for 1 or more modders willing to take time and make a competative map for the scene.

First i need to know i there is any interest from the modders before i go to far into things.

hope to get some possitive replies

looks like u may be in luck, my map is almost complete either l8 2night or 2morrow and it will be done, you could say its close combat, but hey let me know what kinda stuff u want in a map and iel edit mine but its public release

hey!

i like the idea of custom maps getting played competitive by cod2 players. I have posted a couple of times on the CB forum asking for adding custom maps to the ladders or create a different ladder where custom maps get played. but i didn;t had any succes so far.

If you look on Codfiles.com or Codutility.com you will find lots of custom maps. I know most of them aren't suitable for competitive play, but a couple of them are up to (or above) the standard of the maps made by IW. So my suggestion would be to look there first, playtest some maps etc. I'm sure there are maps outthere which are suitable for competitive play!

hi,
At the moment I'm busy with a project which I don't know when It's gonna end (can be really long)

But doing a competitive map (which means really thought for sd wars and especially for 5on5) is something which really I would really do

That's something every mapper can't make whatever they may say because :
-it needs to really know what's competitive gaming (and sadly modding/mapping community are often opposed to high skill gaming community)
-it needs a really good skill at mapping to make optimized map and that have a graphic quality close to the developer quality. ( I can't imagine an ugly maps in official competitions)

What do you think of mp_chelm ? this map has be done in this view I believe (and concerning mapping quality it's an awesome one)

Good luck finding the guy you're searching for, it won't be easy...

maybe me in some months...

Edit : And btw hi Hybrid ! y'ouve post just before me

@ HyBr!d: its good to see that you like the idea. I have looked around on those 2 website for custom maps and there are some maps with potential, but would need more than 50% reworked.

At the moment i am thinking of making a map layout in Photoshop and then maybe someone can remake it with ofcourse some pointers :)

@ cosi: You are right about the fact that the mapper would need to have a know how of competative gameplay, but thats what beta testers are for right?

The maps would need to be fps friendly, so no useless smoking building outside the map or dust for that matter. mid-end PC's should be able to keep a stable 125fps. Also about the visual side of the maps... players are using all kind of config tweaks to get rid of all the special texture effects to keep the game running smooth.

i have indeed played mp_chelm before and also made Speed-Link.Trigger put it on his public server. It is a good map but a bit too small, the allies spawn point would need to be a bit farther away and the extras (anti tank canon, explosiv charge, mortars) would need to be left out. There are also some doors when you need to crouch for and can't run through which gets annoying.

Graphic and Layout wise its a really good map and i see it being played really good with the necessary adjustments. If the creator of mp_chelm visits these forums i would like to speak to him about it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and showing interest guys

Im scratching my head trying to figure out what you would qualify as a good competitive map. Describing it and presenting it in photoshop or something similar would help mappers appreciate what it is that you are looking for.

It is easier to know than to be guessing. Dont get me wrong with this please, just want to be on the same page so as to be more helpful.

you 'll be able to find the creator of chelm here :
