In a few days I will be finished with what I am calling the Mirage Map Pack. It contains two versions of my map, a day version and a night version. If you have played previous versions of my map you will notice a few new buildings and a drastic improvement in fps. Once I test HQ (a new game type for my map!) I will be uploading both maps to numerous websites, including modsonline. By the way, the map will support ALL game types if HQ doesnt give me any trouble. Here are some pictures of my map so you can see what to expect.

Looks great m8, I'm sure I will meet this one in many servers...

it looks excellent,
though may I suggest that you retexture the watertower. I feel that it doesn't really fit in the scene the way it is right now...

the whole map feels like a cut and paste job. just random prefabs placed somewhere and done.

no real architecture (sp?) or atmosphere happening either.

wat zit je te zeuren kleineman??? Ik vind de map er goed uitzien! Goeie sfeer. En heb jij al een map gemaakt?? Dan wil ik die ook wel eens zien.

*(english)* What are you nagging about kleineman??? I think the map looks great! Good atmosphere. Did you make any maps??? I'd love to see them

Well kleineman, first of all most of the building are not prefabs, they were actually designed by me. I also made the alpha-blended terrain and worked many hrs on item placement. I think you will realize when you play the map it is more than a cut and paste job. However, I can see where your coming from, but you have to realize that this was my first map and this is kind of how I developed it. It was basically one big learning process and step by step I learned something new. It is actually based on the hang'em high map from halo and after I had some of the basic structure down I did my best to transform it into a cod2 style map, but I do agree with you in some way. When I finally decide to make a second map there will be more consistency and a more realistic atmosphere. Even though my map doesn't have that i is still a hell of a fun map to play.

As for the water tower Ice_Blade, the map has already went through the final compile so I'm not going to change the texture. I personally think that it looks fine, and the water tower was actually a prefab from this site, so I don't want to alter another persons work. If the swastika offends anyone then I am sorry, but it's only purpose is to give the map a world war 2 atmosphere.

I'm hoping that as these two version will be the final versions of my map that they will be a great success. I would love to hear more comments from you guys after you have played the map so feel free to post more or send me an email to JGreen@aol.com. Oh and by the way, a big thank you to everyone at modsonline who put up with all my annoying questions. You guys rock!

I did not doubt the playability of this map. infact i have played this map a lot on wars and it playes really well on CTF.

Only thing i was on about were the looks. Apparenty this "deen" guy hasn't got a clue. but enough about this guy.

i also had the same thing on my first cod2 map (never released) that it seemed to look like a cut and paste project, while i made every building by myself.


Still a good job on this map and will look forward to your new one.

Good job jgreen

Very good job for a first map, keep up the good work.

Both versions of the map are finally complete. You can download them separately from the downloads section or from right below. I would love to here feedback so I'll be waiting. Enjoy!
