Level Design map remakes

[yuv912]

hey,
what do you think about remakes of original RO maps?
I think there's nothing greater than your old favourite map in the next gen engine.
The first time I saw the new UT3 remake of "facing worlds" I was speechless.

I would really like to see maybe "hedgehog" or "konigsplatz" as a 1:1 remake in RO:HOS.

The main problem with this, is Red Orchestra Ostfront worked around the ending years, and so we'd also need lots of the weapons/vehicles to go with the remade maps. I'm sure there could be a group of modders intent on doing so, but even then that'd take some time, and may not measure up to the usual Tripwire standards.

 

[AXEL]

Really? I thought a lot of RO was mid war.

I hope if people are intent on making remakes they work as a team and not solo. Konigsplatz would be excellent but I would hate to see a direct port seeing as it's my favorite map. With what the new engine is capable of you would need a small group of dedicated mappers/modelers.

Just look at the maps they are mostly 44-45 maps: (I did not include custom turned stock maps):

1944-1945:
Baraska
Hedgehog
Arad
Danzig
Olgedow
Odessa
LyesKrovy
Rakowice
Konigsplatz

mid-war 1943:
RO-KrivoiRog

1942:
KrasnyiOktyabsr
Stalingradkessel
Bondarevo
Kaukasus
Baksan valley

1941:
Basovka

Yeah there are plenty, of maps and info about that battle there is a ton of new stuff that could be modeled like the AT ditch, important buildings (for example the Kroll opera house), the insides of the Riechstag,and perhaos some more defensive postions. I'd personally like to see the bridge area modeled as the start of the battle that would be epic and of course it would not be complete without the Tiger II.-

for me original RO maps are jucha, karlovka, kharkov, berlin or redgodofwar and except berlin there arent even ports for ostfront of these maps

 

[AXEL]

so its about half and half for early/mid to late war maps

 

[Nestor Makhno]

I would agree that decent maps really will not be able to be solo efforts with UE3 - especially if you want to address different periods.

i wants danzig!!1!!!11

While I would like to see older maps eventually, I would prefer all new creations in the beginning. Playing the same old stuff over and over again can get tiring. I already have a hard time finding a populated server with custom or rarely played maps. Many times you see only stock maps. The thought of getting a great new game only to have to look at the same map list in the servers would drive me bonkers.

Come on, don't BS me.

 

[mistk�fer]

of course new maps are always good, but some older ones just have a great gameplay that one doesn't want to miss. I still can't believe that there are so many great mod maps that nobody ever ported to RO:O.

 

[DietOrange]

The game is only going to be like summer 42 until feb 43 though right? I guess if you went late war you would need to make custom weapons, equipment, vehicles, and armor to go with those.

I would not mind some of the classic maps to return, but I would rather have more new one's to play for a while until modders make custom stuff.

Jucha, the best multiplayer map ever created. For any game! I don't understand why that one didn't get converted to RO 41-45

Because the original creator of the map never gave his permission to do so. There are several other mod era maps that fall under this same category.

Well, what was so good about these maps? If you can't (or don't want) port you can copy ideas

 

[worluk]

Options! Non-linear cap sequences, many path, decent combination of distance and short distance firefights, appropriate time to get into fightings.
It wouldnt have worked with Ostfront imo. Jucha was hard on the attackers side even in the mod without the defenders getting the kind of bonus they do get in Ostfront. I doubt the 88s would fall in an unmodified Ostfront port with equal strong teams.
