[Map] Sidi Bou Zid
« on: 25-01-2012, 02:01:41 »
I used to map a lot for some RTS's so I figured I'd give FH2 a shot. It was  originally going to be based off of this battle(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sidi_Bou_Zid), but due to some problems with the terrain I had to redesign it a bit part way through, and as a result it's not at all historically accurate.

Constructive criticism is welcome as this is my first map for a FPS.

Dude, nice!

Nice lighting, nice fog, nice details.

Great to see an American defense map too, as American's tend to be on the offensive in most ww2 games.

GG!

THAT !!! .... is pretty stunning!

If that is your first map in BF2 ever I'm really looking forward to see how this would play on a full server.

this looks very interesting, I see you made some defensive points and quite a lot of minor flanking routes along the main road.
is there a german spawn in the northwestern part of the map (hence the truck and tank)?

This is a really nice looking map. I do fear some blottleneck at Overlook, but otherwise great map.
And the lighting reminds of kasserine for some reason - The feel of rain.

What kind of tanks do the Germans bring to bear? are there aircrafts?

The Overlook flag can't be recaptured by the allies once it's taken and has a pretty large capture radius so I hope that won't be the case, but it is rather constricted there.

What kind of tanks do the Germans bring to bear? are there aircrafts?
Mostly light tanks: a couple of Panzer II's that stop spawning after the first flag is taken, a Panzer III and the version of the puma with a 20mm gun. There aren't any aircraft.

is there a german spawn in the northwestern part of the map (hence the truck and tank)?
That's another allied spawn, the tank is a Stuart.

Needs more green in my opinion! Tunisia barely has desert.

Going by satellite imagery of the area it looks pretty darn brown. Anyways, there is actually a decent amount of vegetation on the map, just the form of underbrush rather than trees or grass.

Most likely due to the crop fields so it would be dependent on season.

I live in Malta, which is a few 100km away from Tunisia. We share the same type of landscape i.e. garigue

Comparing the picture above and the screenshots from the map I say that Nerdstrum got it just about right. I would maybe add some more low bushes.
