When I was working on Stalingrad 2, I would work on the map for upwards of 8 or 9 hours a day, usually late at night and into the morning.

The final version of that map took me around 300 hours to complete.

We can all agree that we mappers are dedicated :roll:
And the dedication to Medal of honor is what keeps us mapping...
Gen Cobra My favorite kind of maps are the ones with Snow in them.
Snow covered houses. Snow covered streets. Snow falling down.... Well you get the point..

I am making a sweet level right now. You'll love it then Yarik. This one took awhile. I really wanted to get it right. BTW that is me in Stalingrad. I love Adobe. That is my gun.

Actually my gun's name isn't Adobe. My gun doesn't have a name. I love Adobe Photo Shop 7 because it allowed me to put myself into a Stalingrad picture, below.

When I first started my map, I'd spend 3-4 hours a day, but not everyday. I'm in a clan and it's hard to be active and also map. I made a promise to myself that I would keep playing because I knew that mapping would become more fun than actually playing, but I didn't want to lose my enjoyment of the game itself. Now that the map has been in post-production, I don't spend as much time because I'm dealing with scripting rather than mapping. Most of the time, it's compiling and I just want to get the thing finished. In all, I've probably logged close to 250 hours on my map.
