berlin

i just need ideas for making berllin like, buildings, ruins etc please post something!!! :)

Hasn't Berlin already been done?

Berlin has indeed been done, but to give you ideas: Brandenburger Tor, Reichstag, houses.

I think the Reichstag on Berlin (8) needs a rework... It's pretty bugged.

i personly think yhe berlin map that OMG gave to EF could have a little more work. more buildings and a bigger map for really intense urban fighting ;)

The Brandenburger Tor is done nicely but the point is that the people in a building inside the reichstag are getting out on the roof :P.

But that's a good place for Snipers though, isn't it? ;)

Problem is, that snipers, unlike mobile or static howitzers, aren't able to shoot over a building, even if the sniper is standing higher than the building's roof. Problem of engine ;)

DO something called the outskirts of Berlin? Make a Highway or 2?

im already working on an outskirts

The actual Berlin map is good but needs a rework. Destroyed buildings could have more detail and in the streets a tram with railroads could be in place to block advancing soviets. German armor wrecks are fail because they give Wehr a mun advantage in early game.

Nahh, I like the wrecked vehicles.

If i remember rightly, the wrecked tanks on Monthermé were salvageable, but have since been patched otherwise... :-\

On Berlin, wrecked vehicles can be repaired with Bergetiger but they don't works (can't be selected by one of the players, no move, no fire).

On Montherme I don't remember.

That's because the wrecks are neutral. ;)

I always said only use wrecks with _map_object behind the name -.-.

I noticed that some of the wrecks (mostly the Soviet vehicles, i think) on some maps (such as Kursk) are quite buggy somehow. Their main problem is that they don't seem to provide cover.

the wrecked soviet tanks on kursk map behave like vehicles.
They even drive forward if you try to build wire through them

Are you fucking serious?!?! Haha, that's so funny! If i ever get Company Of Heroes working again, i will totally have to try that!

wat about back to berlin? pls. need IDEAS >:( >:( >:( :-X :P ::)

O.K., O.K., no need to make funny faces. So do you have any idea what it is you want to create, rather than just broadly Berlin?

There are so much things never done in a map yet. Did you ever consider to build a "Berlin Tempelhof" map by using aerial photographs? Or a map where parts of town are flooded, streets are cracked so you can see the sewery, a zoo, soccer field, ...

Personally i like to fight in destroyed buildings. Dom Pavlova (the capping point near your base) or Kholm (the destroyed church; there sould be a capping point in it)

i want to make an intense map. that makes the battle look very dark and cruel. i was thinking alot of dead bodies and german flags

Nighttime and overcast could help.

maybe a very grey background or overcast. So far ive done around the middle of the map. ive put craters, barricades, ruined buildings, rubble, and some corpes.

BTW its going to be six player

Cool. Looking forward to seeing it. :)

here a screen shot of bit ive done i will post more!

Looks great, but some of them are just way too similar.

Looks good for me  :)
I've made Festung Breslau at night, but there were complaints about fires flickering all around the city, so I decided to change daytime. It's up to you, I'd rather play at night  :D

What, people were griping about fires at night?! ??? But it looks so much cooler at night!

Any Screen shots?

i posted them befroe didnt i?

Needs tile color though. Press the "Tile" button, then "add button" then select your color at the selection. After that then paint it. I think that's how, but I don't exactly remember.

P.S. the lock button is the magic button. Click it then it does nothing. For now. . . . .

here are some more pics, some i havent finished yet

Fantastic work so far it seems.

I wouldn't name this "Berlin" persay unless you already have the Reichstag added and such. The current Berlin map is centered around the fight for the capital. Maybe your map could be an example of another area of berlin during the siege?

The Soviet's urban doctrine will make monumental differences here if accepted as an official map. How many players does it support?

It would work for 2v2s, 3v3s, and 4v4s, but my classic idea for berlin is for the Axis spawns to be in the middle of the map with the allied ones spread out on the edges of the map (Separated, like one spawn in each corner) This obviously gives Axis powers a tougher time but putting High resources closer to the center balances that out a bit. It will take good teamwork to win on such map. (The idea represents the Americans and British coming from the west and soviets from the east, the idea they were completely surrounded)

Is this a large map? That's what I gather so far.

the real name for it is the streets of berlin
it is a 3v3 map
ur idea of axis in the middle and allies on the edges is good but its too late now
and yes it is a large map, ill post some pics of all my work so far in one big piece

i made alot of thunder to make it sound like explosions in the background

Last edited April 4, 2011 at 6:51 AM by Mattdamon07

While it seems like a good idea, COH naturally has explosion sounds in a quiet environment. (Or as I hear) Adding LOTS of thunder may cause some lag.

I would give suggestions, but World Builder kills my computer.

Ah, well just a suggestion. Good work so far.

here are some more, hope u like it!

Very nice! Keep up the good work!

does anyone know if there are any other fire types, other than the ones in the visuals section or is there any other ones in there besides the fx ones?

here are some more pics! ;)
