Meet Mamayev - The Level Designer edition of What we are up to!

[Dionysos]

Looks fresh, though of course we won't know until we've tried it. But I must say it looks encouraging, especially regarding the apparent max distance of engagement!

 

[KRT_Bong]

Sniper Rifles are fine and I use them from time to time but nothing is more satisfying than pulling off a really long shot off of iron sights and in my case I get much longer shots on average this way than with the scope. I can't wait to try this I've already reloaded my beta.

 

[Sah.]

you guys are better with this level design editor than me. So far de_helms_dust isn't progressing very well. I shall persevere.

How I see/classify maps:


1) Attack or defend maps:

• • • • • • Apartments
          • Commissar's House
          • Grain Elevator
          • Red October Factory
          • Spartanovka
          • Station

2) Neutral objectives maps:
2a) Mirror maps (both teams have the same kind of cap-zones to defend/attack)

• • • • Barracks
      • Fallen Fighters
      • Gumrak

2b) Non-mirror maps (on Pavlov's Allies get as neutral objective a buiding and Axis gets an "open area")

• • • • Pavlov's House

Where should I place this, Yoshiro ?

We're actually experimenting with a different type of Territory mode for this map. I won't go into detail because we may not release it this way, but you're likely to see it in the beta.

yey looks interesting

Ok, thank you for answering.

I found a documentary about Stalingrad on youtube and there is a part where they talk about Mamayev Kurban. Check it out!

The Lost Evidence: "Stalingrad" 2 of 5 at 4:07.

There's nothing wrong with snow maps... it's just that we have so many of them already. Commissar's House, Red October, Fallen Fighters, and Gumrak are all maps fought after the encirclement.

The Kessel portion of the battle should get plenty of attention in a game on Stalingrad, but if you're going to feature a map on Mamayev Kurgan, why have players fighting on that blasted height when the issue is already decided? It's far more dramatic to place the map earlier during the fall, when the hill is still a meatgrinder, fought over by Germans desperate to take it and Russians resolutely holding on.

Regardless, it sounds as though the map's gameplay will be a fresh new change and the map is a welcome addition! The terrain, scenery, and layout look gorgeous.

This guy is a genius!, must be a fencing competition college student!
LOL He is... I totally agree with NIKITA. I was excited to see the map. Then I was disappointed to actually see pics of the winter after the encirclement. Late fall would be better!

 

[Hicks]

Looks great.

Makes me remember that old Red Orchestra: Combined Arms map with the artillery bunkers/tunnels and trenches. What was that called?

Red god of war ?

 

[Tea and Crumpets]

I know this has been discussed before, but it would be great to play the same map at different time frames Day/Night etc. This would really show it off.

 

[Blackthorne]

Round off those edges, that bunker is looking a bit ugly.

I Guess that is what work in progress means.

 

[Sensemann]

Why not making 2 maps out of this one?

First version (current): night, Russian defend
Second version: daylight, Germans defend

Both sides controlled this area for several times and it would allow a lot of variety with 2 versions...

Just think of Zhitomir before: The initial version was Russians defending, while the later version had Germans defending and the map just slightly changed. I always thought that was a great thing.

OMG you sir are a genious,what do you say TWI?:IS2:

Yeah, or the way you suggested. That's what I meant by referring to Zhitomir, saying "and the map just slightly changed". Of course it would be cool to have it with no snow. Feeling of the map would change, while the work to change the white snow to some rubble should be easy to be done.

OMG you sir are a genious,what do you say TWI?:IS2:

Genious? I am called "Sensemann", not because I make sense, but because Americans call me Sense-man. Actually it's Sensenmann (realize the 'n') and means "reaper". I adjusted my name though as a sign of respect

Ah yes, "Reaper"...

 

[Field Marshal Rommel]

Mamayev is an infantry only map

In an old mamayev thread it is mentioned that the Germans had panzers, two of which were knocked out, so why no tanks for RO II's mamayev?

 

[_Dariuszek_]

so why no tanks for RO II's mamayev?

Because we are hungry for maps without tanks.

Mamayev Beta

Mamayev Beta

Do we re-activate the RO2 Beta that was set up before or will a new Beta be announced for download? Where do you watch for the announcement that it is ready for download...here or in Steam?

Hey...I never said I knew what I was doing...

 

[un_fumeta]
