You still have the chance to become part of this very group - it's quite simple: Take part in the first official Eastern Front mapping contest! Excluded from participation are Eastern Front developers and mappers - due to the fact they are already part of the team. While creating your map, you have to stick to following rules:


The winner will receive following prices:


The jury consists of all Eastern Front developers and balancers.

Have fun mapping!
Best regards,

MaxiKing6, Eastern Front Head Mapper

You guys working on a new Stalingrad map?



THANKGOD



The current 6 player one was very disappointing tbh (lack of apartment urban residential areas and no river/bridge)

Wrong. It's finished already! :P

The new one doesn't offer a bridge either (there was no bridge across the Volga..). You will find some residential areas though.

Simply beautiful work all around; the commitment to historical accuracy in regards to the maps and units and equipment is worthy of accolades! I don't think that the crew making cohII will even live up to it!  If you need any work done programming wise I am fluent with Javascript and have some time off!

That was a pretty awesome video! Might i ask what the song was?

Were any maps taken from Red Orchestra 2? Such as Spartanovka, don't get me wrong i'm sure this was a real place a battle happened. I'm just wondering if the idea is from Red Orchestra 2.

I believe the original inspiration for the map was taken from Red Orchestra, and when you play it back over, you'll see just how similar they are!

Oh, and the background track is Requiem for a Dream. Six and a half minutes of perfection!

hy all,


a nice event youve started here and Id like to wish all the mappers good luck on their job!
I dont think Ill be a part of it since my (WIP) 2vs2 map is a little bit to big (480x480) to match the rules....


hoping for great maps though


regards
SSonne

We need a Reichstag/Berlin centre map, or Seelow Heights. Hopefully the contest winner will do one of those.

Good list of maps, I hope they're as fun to play as they look, my only qualm is the music used in the video.

What a fail for me...wow...I had this mod since you guys released it, wow.

But in that case, for the contest, can we hope for a Sevastopol map?

Really? (Ouch?) Maybe my version of EF is messed up. I added skins and play offline for the most-part. I'll have to check my game when I get home.

Narva Crossing? Tannenberg? Budapest?

Post by: BurroDiablo on January 19, 2013, 08:22:42 AM
Better :P Yes, somebody could make those, we had a Tannenberg map at one point but it was just a rename of Alsace Moselle, so a new Tannenberg map would be cool.

Keep your eyes peeled for Narva! Back in my early days I finished a 6 player map of the crossing, at about the same time Maxi started his own version. If we get the time, maybe we'll pull ourselves together and get one of them up to scratch!
