SunLit DoD Map Pack #17 [1]
SunLit Day of Defeat Map Pack #17 [2] is now available for download.

Some of us in the forums were recently lamenting the lack of quality DoD maps coming out -- we speculated the mappers are all waiting for DoD:Source. There are four high-quality, all-new maps included in this map pack, so I guess the custom maps pipeline for DoD has not dried up quite yet.
The four all-new maps are dod_bayeux_b1, dod_prome_b2, dod_nordwind_b3, and dod_propaganda. Dod_bayeux_b1 is a beautiful and large map with 7 flags (all of them single-man). Dod_nordwind_b2 is a very good size map (about the size of Sturm), with 5 flags and a 2-man cap in the middle. It is very nice to look at -- you can even see paratroopers dropping from the sky in the distance.
There are also some remakes of older maps that look enticing. There's a new version of dod_tiger -- dod_tiger2 -- that is essentially the same but all the stick spots are gone. There's a new version of edge as well, dod_edge2.
Some of our members made suggestions for maps that should be added. You can blame Cranium for dod_propaganda, and Bull for dod_casablanca :) Someone else suggested dod_stadtkampf, but I have forgotten who.
The new maps will be loaded on Futurama in a new mapcycle sometime tonight. Get them now [3] so your fragging will be uninterrupted when that happens. Happy fragging :)
