[MAP] Winterwald

[danh]

Hello everyone! This is my first map and I hope you enjoy it. I started around the beginning of August so don't expect anything grand.

This map is a winter map set in a forest. The objectives are Anti-Aircraft guns that the Russians currently hold. The Germans start outside a small village and have to fight their way to the Anti-Aircraft guns.

Thanks:
11_Harley_11 for amazing snow trees, as well as stacks of logs and broken trees and stumps
Drecks for great advice
Adzuken for beta testing

Outstanding! The screenies look really good. I am freezing while looking at them while it's 25 C degrees in the office. Will be testing it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your efforts!

Nice work Danh, Running on my server now:

1ST-AIRBORNE..UK 109.70.149.161

Just waiting on the player files to upload to the redirect.

[Drecks]

Great work. That forest look great. The random arty at the start might be a tad to much but thats all a personal point of view. My guess is that a lot of RO players will love this. Hope it will play and behave well. Missed some covernodes on spots where one expect them.

Taking a screenshot while pressing 'T' (Tactical Overlay) is also a good method since you get the coordinates of the which makes it even more easy to find them.

Also, congratulations on your first release. Downloading right now

So we will play it today

[Mike_Nomad]

Excellent Job...... Could do with a bit of optimization in the lower areas.... but still an outstanding job. The immersion is excellent.

Job Well Done!

[Fishsticks]

It only happens on the first round. But I will wait on player feedback and see if it should be changed. Also, the trees explode!

Yes. My computer is really high end so I will need feedback from people who have lower end specs. I know the problem area is when the Axis looks up at the hill from far away.

[Sojuz]

Links dead gj there

[SilentAssassin]

Please fix the link, your map looks epic.

[danh]

I took links down because theres a bug. You can still find it on some servers. The last objective has to be capped to end the game.

[Extension7]

Great map, it looks gorgeous and plays gorgeous (except for that bug :P)

I'm loving these push style maps. And yours is excellent! The fog makes it really intense when you can only see silhouettes and the up hill push for the Germans is really close and personal. We weren't using arty much but I can see it being horrifyingly effective on the hill when the servers are packed.

It's like I'm falling in love :3
