Map Designer/Historian
« on: January 07, 2009, 06:34:40 PM »
Hey people. I  would love to become a Map designer. i have made a few maps with good urban combat but i struggle with the larger maps. i can create a very exciting, fast paced 2v2 or 3v3 map. I am also a good learner and i have learnt a lot about teh eastern front. i can offer very detailed knowledge about the Wehrmacht (Luftwaffe, Kreigsmarine, Heer) and the Waffen SS on the Eastern Front.
I hope to hear from the team soon. BTW this mod looks amazing. :D

I think we are down a mapper (Sarthis who hasn't been around since October, not sure what he's up to). Have you got any images of the maps you've made?

Make it muddy, overcast, full of ruins, craters and half destroyed factories. Also, give it a train yard if you can (unless this is an "Assault from the Volga" map, we can always make a separate Stalingrad "Train yard" map later)

i was trying to do a Factory area. with the volga behind it. i dont think the one im making is historically accurate. i am just trying to show you all what different types of areas i can make. This has a train depot, a factory couter with a ruined large factory and a small hill side point. but i can make ones directly to the developers needs. the factorys are what i am best at. i aint very good at open combat or designing train yards. but i can make fantastic street fights and indoors fights.
