Level Design What happened to kalinin (sp?) Please remake

[D3terioNation]

Hey not sure I got the spelling right, but this was the first 'true' large tank map for the mod, think it got introduced in 3.3? It was apsolutly huge and was extremely popular as far as I remember.

In fact peeps starting moaning cos the map was being played so much.

I havent posted this before because I thought someone would have by now & am really surprised no-one has

I really think this should be ported over to OST

kalinin? popular? BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

amazing stuff

kalinin would be fine if the hills were shallowed out a bit. It was the first ever tank map made by tw and in the early days tanks could climb up anything. They then changed the climbing power of tanks but kalinin remained the same hence making it really slow and frustrating

It was like tank fighting in the alps

Kalinin was thrown in in 3.0 as part of the *Look! We have tanks now!* phase. When 3.1 came out and the tanks actually started to behave correctly, they put in Barashka and everyone pretty much forgot Kalinin, especially since the new tanks couldn't climb the hills.

If you want a remade Kalinin, I think Orel is by far the closest you get, and it actually does a good job of catching the few good elements Kalinin had back in 3.0.

It was like tank fighting in the alps

If someone DOES want to make a "tank fighting in the alps" map, I am all for it. That could be cool. Especially in a mountain valley, with one cap point (an outhouse for a farm down at the bottom). But you have to run the gauntlet down one of two opposing mountainsides. Tank sniping 4eva!

Kalinin would've been fun if infantry had the major role.

Laffo!

kalinin was horrible, bad memories from that map. The only really interesting thing from that map was the destroyable houses, but other than that it wasnt that good.

Though I do remember liking it allot when 3.0 first came out. The tanks have come a long way since then, and hopefully get better.

Kalinin should never be awakened from it's well deserved enternal sleep

 

[Xendance]

Well deserved? It didn't deserve anything ;o

 

[SasQuatch]

Well deserved? It didn't deserve anything ;o

Yes it did! It deserved to die and never be mentioned again

 

[Rex]

well you could say it DOESN'T deserve to ever be mentioned again, but i think we're splitting hairs here

[Rex]

I heard there is a Porechye 24/7 server














right next to a DieWalkure 24/7 one (no offense dingbat, it just didnt work out )

diewalkure again wasnt too bad in 3.0 but after that it went wholey downhill with objective messing about etc.

And whoever decided to remove the bell tower as an objective on rostov needs to be shot from taking a interesting map and turning it into a nade meat grinder
