Call of Duty: World at War "Classic" Map Pack - Saint Lo update

In this update, I'm going to focus solely on Saint Lo.  

To a lot of people, Saint Lo is new, as many CoD players are relatively new to the series; most having their first CoD experience with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  Those who have been around since the early days & have played the famed German Front Mod for Call of Duty: United Offensive may recognize this map as one of the brilliant maps included in the mod.  Sadly, GFM hasn't been able to make a comeback to Call of Duty, but fortunately some of the maps won't go to waste.

I've had the pleasure of working on conversions of Saint Lo for previously unfinished/unreleased versions of GFM for Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and although it's a huge amount of work, I was very excited to take another crack at this map.

At first look, the map may appear very linear.  The more you explore, however, you start to see how detailed and well designed it really is.  There really is never a point where you're pinned in a corner and don't have more than 3 ways out, which makes for very dynamic gameplay.

The following screenshots were taken today (February 8th, 2011).  The map is not yet final, I'm still adding more geo detail & fx at the moment.











Until next time!
