    I like it. Lots of cover (good for strategies) and decent size (not too big and not too small). +1

    Ok, Im going to be honest. this map is terrible. You got no background detail. The buildings don't really resemble the map very well. Did you use a schematic to make this? I don't think so since its not really to size of the map. Just terrible. sorry. You need to put a a lot more effort into it. also 2 days, that is not a lot of time really. typically, maps take much longer. think about the map Cargo or Strike zone. Those took way longer than two days for sure.

    I will say 0. It is practicly a very good map. We've good spots for every kind of rifle. And for a shortranged map it feels a lot like the other good maps. My downsight of it is the detailing, it's very simple and I know it is what is, since it is a CoD, you sjouldn't really just hiroshima on it with stairs and slabs. I don't really know this map, but if I did, I am almost sure I could give some feedback on better detailing at some point.

    check the map, the edges of the map are basically just plants, bushes and buildings, the is only one place where you can actually see something, which is at the edges of the frozen river, but If I made that I must make it till the horizon and people could escape when walking over it (confusion when no barriers added or something)

    the background of the map are some buildings far away from this map which you can only see if you step back a little or get on top of the highest object, so I didn't include those buildings

    The map itself is pretty small too, and that is one of the the reasons why it only took 2 days

    The map style is the old dutch style, and that's a hard style to remake, if you take a look at the map most of the buildings are made out of bricks,
    some were yellow, some black, some red, and that is why most of the buildings only have sandstone, stone brick and brick as walls. Most of the buildings were flat on top so I just kept it like that, most of the buildings had some weird statues and detailed stuff on top of their roof, and these things were not able to be remaken (or something lol) in Minecraft, so I had to keep it a little non-detailed

    I didn't use schematics because I never use schematics and I don't even know if I can use them on mac

    The map seems to have a pretty good flow, but I think that the map needs more detail in both the buildings and in the ground. Also make sure that there are multiple exits from both teams spawns. That will prevent spawn trapping from occur.

    Good luck.

    It's not terrible, but at the same time, it's really not very good. It's bland, not to scale and lacks any kind of detail. A map like Frost should be taking you around 30 hours to build, not a couple of days. Quality takes time.

    That said, its great that you've put in the effort. Keep working and you'll improve massively! Good luck!

    I think you guys get me wrong, I said in my thread: 2 days, but what I mean with this is 48 hours, not like in 2 days


    The actual time it took me to make this was like one week, but in that week I worked on it for like 45 hours (about 2 days)

    Yeah we understand that you have put a lot of time into your map. I have too put much time into projects that never got added to Brawl. We are just trying to give you advice. :smile:

    The CoD map itself looks a little like Amsterdam (at least how it looked in the past)

    but since it's a hard build style it totally does not look any like Amsterdam now..



    And when was the last time in the Netherlands that the water actually froze so thick that you can stand on it

    Ye does he even Amsterdam bro.
    Jk.
    But my opinion now:
    • I think its just a bit too small. Maybe try to make it a few 30/40 blocks bigger.
    • Check for Ooms: This is always an issue, if you have checked it already, great job :smile:
    • Try to switch the blocks in the buildings a little bit. All of the houses and stuff are stone bricks. In my opinion, just try to add a little bit more detail, just to make it look faboelaas.
    • The roads where you can walk on have to many obstacles. This might be annoying to run to the middle of the map fast, as the map can be used for Capture the Flag
    • And: Where is the flag? I don't see any fences with a gold block beneeth it. Fix that 2.
    When fixing all of these issues, you will have my 1+
    It'll be a -1 for now

    -The CoD map itself is pretty small, so I made the minecraft map small too.

    -The OOM's are already checked and removed

    -The roads have a lot of obstacles for a reason (in CoD and in mc-war) to take cover, and it's not that hard to dodge em

    -Flags are added

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I found the block variety and map detail a little bad myself too, I'll be working on it

    As I see, you reconstructed the map in my thoughts due to this reply.
    +1 from me now
    I see that you're working on the buildings :wink:

    Hello! I think this map has a very good design. However, I think that you could add a bit more detail.
    Suggestions:
    Light sources: Lamps, glowstone, etc.
    Terrain changes: snow sheets, slabs, gravel, podzol, etc. ( To give it a bit of "pazazz" :wink: )
    Height changes throughout the map: Similar idea to terrain. This would give snipers a place to snipe, and shotgunners a place to shotgun. (NOTE: I don't mean buildings for snipers, I'm thinking hills)


    +0 For now. But yes, this is definitely a good start to your creation! :smile:

    It was a new build style for me so I had to test things out, edit a lot and stuff, look what looks better and stuff
    I had to edit almost all the buildings some days ago which takes some time too.

    also I was building it on a server with some friends, and most of the times we were just ****ing around with command blocks and stuff XD.

    Do mind that everything is hand-made, no worldedit (signs were absolutely the worst ;-; )
