Beautiful, huge, foggy, fun, harborside map |
| Review: |
Dod_pier_b2 is an all-around well-crafted map. It is set in a harbor area in what looks like eastern Europe. It is a night map, and it's dark but not so dark that you can't see people -- player models are not completely black, it is light enough that one can tell the difference between Allies and Axis.
The map is fairly large, although not as large as it appears the first time you walk through it. You can get from one side to the other just as fast as, for example, on dod_donner. If you find yourself confused the first time you try it, check out the map and the mini-map. There are four flags, the second and third of which are two-man caps. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to move around the map quickly.
One thing that makes the map seem much larger is that there is so much vertical space. You are not limited to simply running around at ground level. You can go through buildings, climb up on stuff inside the warehouses and out in the storage yards. You can climb on top of most of the buildings and the cranes in the map.
The map is really neat looking. It's got great atmosphere -- you can easily imagine yourself in a harbor area at night. The fog, sound of the fog horns and seagulls all add to the ambience.
The framerates are surprisingly good for a map of this quality appearance and of this size.
The map is suitable for match play. |
