Will there be lots of forest fighting? Or is the battle only gonna be in town? Something like an assault on the town would be cool (like Foy on BoB for example). How bout haystacks and broken down farm stuff to give it more of a small village ardennes style feel? I've never been there myself either but i think thats kind what it was like. Im sure Peri can provide some useful input.

This map is just finished ... I live in Belgium, so I've seen the real ardennes ... and yep, this really reminds me of them ... (not that I've been there during the war, but those small villages, the graveyard ... Believe me, I recognize them.)
Good Job !

I like the texture usage here. It seems to fit well and even creates a 'foggy' feeling for the map, wich is good for this snowy environment. Looks like a good start, and with the extra possibilities Source will give you, I see this one becoming a visually stunning one.
The area does remind me of a certain CoD level... the one at the start just before encountering the first Flak tank. That church, the cemetery, those sheds... is it accidentally or... inspiration?

I think your map should take after a WWII event ...

Man, I wish you people would read the posts carefully!
Yes, CJ's idea is a good idea, but I'm going to do the map for source, so it doesn't matter as much now.
I did say the area wasn't finished yet Ferret, I've only done some of the main structures so far. The scenery is coming later. I had planned on constructing a small field type thing, with some stacks of hay leading into a forest.
I always appreciate everyone's comments, just wish people would pay a bit more attention.

I agree with CJ by using models, than you can have some atmosphere behind that wall instead of the world dropping off suddenly like it does now. How you have it you are removing the player from any sense of atmosphere.

Well, the place might have changed alot in 60 years. Unless you're referring to the terrain. That would take a little longer to change
.
Well Pericolos0, unfortunately I live in Australia and therefore my only reference has been some dodgy photos found online and also other games and Band of Brothers. If you have some wonderful photos from your many visits, I'd very much appreciate them.
