Its not about to be released but I have made big progress so far.
I am trying to base the map closely on the real location but due to the place being huge I am adapting the layout to be more conducive to gameplay.
Its going to be a Spearhead TOW map.

Bob I only dream of working for EA, though one day who knows, anything any of us put our minds to can be achieved. For now I am a lowly web designer but I dont think my heart is in that anymore, used to love it, was fun now it seems like WORK Mapping is something I can do for days and still not lose interest, I would love to be paid to do it.
My girl was just looking for jobs for me in the games industry, didnt check them out yet but she found a couple of recruitment sites, they are UK based as far as I know, heres the links for any of you that are interested in getting paid to do what you love:)
Every chance I get I have been working on the map. Everyone close to me is kinda pissed off at not having any of my attention but hey they dont realise how time consuming this can be and when your on a creative roll its not good to sleep

Random, if I gave you a release date I would probably depress you by not meeting the deadline so I will just say I am on the case almost every spare moment I get. Hopefully a week or two might be enough to finish it

I can't wait to play this map, it looks fantastic. I loved your Maginot-Line map, and I just know that this one will raise the bar of quality even higher.
Keep up the good work!
