Any plans to release official map remake from Ostfront?
- Thread starter Darrosquall
- Start date
Pretty much what im waiting for, because "Arad 2" is done.
Give me it then,we can iron out any tank bugs while waiting for the half-tracks.

I guess as Zets said, it was made by Slyk but became official or owned by TWI because of contest rules etc.
As with the Tractorworks map, I guess that means the ROOST versions are property of TWI, but I imagine anyone can attempt to remake them for inclusion into ROHOS since it is a different game. I always think it is polite to get the original author's permission or blessing to remake a map, especially a strictly custom one, not sure how that is for official ones.
But then as most of you know, Berezina isn't a 'Stalingrad' setting.
As a side note, I would rather see completely new maps from TWI rather than remakes and let mappers convert the old ones. As good as they were at the time, I did get tired of playing most of them after 5 1/2 years and really look forward to new maps more than new guns/uniforms/vehicles etc. The same maps make things more stale quicker than the same guns

I have it on completely hypothetical and imaginary inside information that Guppy is remaking Leningrad for ROHOS as a side project
Isn't it also true that any maps made with the HoS sdk become the intellectual property of TWI, whether they be new or remakes of Ostfront maps.I guess as Zets said, it was made by Slyk but became official or owned by TWI because of contest rules etc.

Yay! Oh wait... Damnit...
Possibly, although I wonder what that actually means. In other words I doubt that means TWI would see a great custom map from the community and then try to steal it as their own. You got me Major
Its just a legal thing i think, i don't think that TWI would take a community made mod and claim it was theirs, unlike some other developers out there, who stole many community mods,slightly altered them,added it to their game and called it their own,Cod 4 springs to mind.Possibly, although I wonder what that actually means.

Developers don't all do the same job. Level designers make maps, coders fix performance and code the vehicle handling, audio guys do audio, etc. Unless TWI employs a bunch of jack-of-all-trades this shouldn't be an issue.
More new maps is the best I think. Regarding remakes, I think Leningrad, Koenigsplatz, Berezina and Berlin would be the best candidates. Since all of these maps are outside Stalingrad, I doubt TWI will remake them.
Ah, and 100 dollars to the guy that remakes Jucha from the mod days!

A reworked map of enemy at the gates of ROost for RO2 should be made.
I don`t know why this map is forgotten. It is situated at the volga near
stalingrad.

The custom map for ROOST was actually fun to play, at least the version I remember. It definitely needed some polish, but the layout and resulting gameplay was decent.
I'm sure someone will create something very similar to this.
konigsplatz would be perfect for this game. do it now!
God no.
auto snipe tank guns, super accurate run and gun, fast running speed, and unlimited artillery for Soviets...the map will be captured in matter of minutes.
And oh yeah...no panzerfausts for the Axis.
