This is a a discussion topic for the map "dod_dijon" by Furyo which can be found here

Map description:

This map is my first map ever, based on the actual layout of the French city of Dijon, preserved unscathed through WWII. It's a CTF map ideally designed for 16-20 people.

I remember this as one of the first custom maps to use HDR. Very nice looking (all I can say because I do not own DOD:S).

I could have sworn I saw this layout before in a TFC map called "wrath" (a very good TFC map that is...) I thought this is a remake first then I read the part about the historical layout. Just something I noticed.

I never even played TFC (I know I'm missing out) so I can confirm it's not a remake of anything ;)

It's funny because it's rather unusual for maps to follow a real world layout exactly. Dijon must be ideal for this!

The buttresses on the church require more detail, in my opinion. I'd make them flared to the base of the church, and some better textureage. I think some of the buildings have continuity errors, also. Otherwise, looks pretty pimpin. I need to purchase DoD:S, it's on my list.
