Level Design Hill_Flak_B8
- Thread starter tochiri
- Start date
I just played this a couple nights ago. It was pretty entertaining!
Both sides need more cover, and the hill should be made more realistic. You could have rock faces jutting out from time to time, which would serve both purposes. Just add more variation>
I liked it. Very nice effort for a first map.

it looks pretty nice but indeed i think there should be some more cover. And it looks a bit hard for the allies. The allies got to run a really long way everytime they spawn and they must walk uphill. The germans spawn really close to the hill and can shoot enemies from above going uphill. Allies must destroy alot of objectives with big disadvantage of the terrain. I think that the allied spawn should maybe change to some other location after they cap the mortars :\.
But it looks and runs pretty good.

I think it should be the other way around, the top of the hills are stony, while the ground/terrain close to hills is grassy!

looks great I like the idea. looks like more variation crater holes would be easy or a broken stone fence/wall would be easy also. how about anti vehicle teeth and a crashed plane. looks good though excellent work.

The [5.SS] server has it loaded up, but most 5.ss guys have yet to play it so who knows if we will keep it up, it just depends how good it is.

At first glance the craters seem like good cover, but now that I think about it, they are just blackholes for grenades. But thats what I THINK anyway...who knows.

Its amazing how a rectangular box with one simple main objective on a hill can give so much great gameplay. In other ww2 games/mods there are similar concepts: DoD had the 'Radar' levels, The Third Reich mod had a similar map (I think it was also called 'radar') both with one bunker on a hill being the main objective.
During my mod development times, I've studied the typology of popular levels and why they are so overplayed.
- Simple and linear seem to be code words for most of them (there are exceptions). DoD_Caen for example is basicly a big S shape.
- Variety and balancing of different types of players is a plus too. Campers vs rushers, long range (rifle, sniper, mg) vs short range (lmg, smg).
- Objectives are chokepoints, but once taken, they give an advantage to the attacker.
- Smaller, but longer and more dangerous roads bypassing these chokepoints adds a tactical dimension. They can lift the advantage given to the attacker.

In the quake2 mod Dday: Normandy, the most popular level was dday2 'St M

looking a lot better I still think it needs more nature touches like trees and grass around the craters so that it is harder to get grenades in them. What about a plane crash into the hill. Keep going though your doing good.

I finally got to play this last night on the core server and enjoyed it. Looks nice, and seems to play fairly evenly. I played as allies and we had two real struggles to end up winning each round. However could really do with a graphic for the battlefield map!

The latest version of the map is quite good, still - there are some architechturical odities.
The 88's are unable to shoot downhill, where exist's destroyed T34's.
The fortification should be more gruesome and deeper in ground (I presume it's copied from rakowice) and look more russian if the map is set in deep russia?
And... the road to uphill is still quite "unrealistic", I would doubt that any vehicle would get there with full load of cargo. I suggest you modifiy it a bit. You could add halftrack to your dev version of the map and try driving there.
Also you could add some stuff in visible terrain outside battlefield.

I played it yesterday twice and i must say that i really like the map.
But it needs some graphical improvement.
-try to add a leavetexture under the trees. there would propably be lots of leaves undeneath them.
-try to find another texture for the road.
-the road is also a bit too wide if you ask me.
-tone down the bloom effect. (can be done under Levelproperties-bloom-bloomamout; press F6 for Levelproperties) change the bloomamount to 0.3 instead of 0.5.

i think this map needs some more lowground vegetation. It got nice amounts of trees and stuff. But from the soldier level its really open.
