Level Design Ponyri Redux

[Sichartshofen]

The map has been completely remade. Now an 800 by 400 meter play area with 8 objectives. The first 3 objectives will take place in a massive network of interconnected trenches spanning 300 meters across, giving the immersion of a wide front and finally ending at an artillery battery. From there the Germans must secure the water tower and fight there way towards the village to gain a foot hold. Then the battle for the village begins. Ending off with the school house and ponyri station that will be recaptureable until both are taken.

Load Outs:
Both sides will have tanks at their disposal. Russians will have a T34 and an SU76 and the Germans will have 2 PzIV H's and 1 StuG III. Infantry load outs are the usual amount of rifles, mg's, smg's and a few anti-tank weapons. The Russians will also have several anti-tank guns scattered around the map.

looks good, got a release date yet or a link?

Not bad, but the trenches look to machine made. Somekind of basovka stylish trenches would look better imho.

 

[Trendkill]

Those trenches are massive, are you sure they're gonna be at all defendable by the the amount of infantry the Russians have?

Then I would be stuck with trenches the size of the ones on basovka. Unless I used more then 1 terrain, which by then it's getting too complicated just for terrain trenches. For something this scale you have to do it with BSP.

You will only need to be defending 1 objective at a time.

Trenches are too clean, hopefully you will add rocks trees/bushes and maybe some craters. Otherwise great work

 

[Sichartshofen]

The trench floor is another terrain that I have roughed up alot. From that height you just can't see it.

 

[Drecks]

These kind of trenches are nice now and then but this is way overdone and totally useles in real life.
They would be shooting each other in the back also
As a supreme commander i would send my luftwaffe to deal with these trenches.

So i fully agreed with the comment wrote about the clean and unnatural look these trenches have.
All the straight wooden trenches makes it look boring to. Imagine three objectives in that atmosphere.
And people already call Lazur 50 a maze

 

[Trendkill]

I really did prefer the smaller trenches of the older version... Sorry

 

[Sichartshofen]

Luckily I kept an alpha without the bsp trenches after I made the village. I'll experiment with zig zagging trenches with terrain.

Zigzags, now that'd be nice.

 

[kapulA]

Did this area see any preliminary bombardment?
Cause if it did,a few craters in and around trenches would be nice,maybe some collapsed trench sections and perhaps blocked ways?

 

[Rak]

Yeah, trenches look way too sterile and seem like they were designed with rulers A few randomness apart from sharp, 90 degree turns would be nice.

 

[Marta]

I liked the trechnches in "roter boden". I think you should be able to climb out off the trenches.

 

[Sichartshofen]

Update:

New trenches that zig zag.

 

[EvilHobo]

Looking good. I can see where the two terrain actors meet but there really isn't any way around that.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

That is a nice improvement in the trenches. Seems more natural, and yet offers cover for the defender in case of infiltration.

 

[Drecks]

Yep these seems like they where digged.

 

[GS_Schimpf]

Yes! Much better!

 

[Dumba [cro]]

Oooh yes. Now you're talking!
