"Hill" is a brand new map for Call of Duty: World at War by Cornrow Wallace.  The map takes place around a large (accessible) hill with foliage-heavy terrain on one side, a beach on the other, and a man-made cave through the middle for a fast way around.  The design is based on a fiction pacific island.  Teams are American/Japanese.  There are no vehicles.  Artillery and dog killstreaks are fully supported.

"Hill", source files

$

There has been a lot of disappointment in the Call of Duty mod community lately, between Treyarch shafting mappers, and now the rumors of Modern Warfare 3 continuing to use peer-to-peer connections instead of dedicated servers.  In the hopes of doing a little good for the community, I am releasing all of my source files for "Hill", so that the map may serve as an example to aspiring level designers, or even server admins who like the map but would like to make their own changes.

Every file I used to create "Hill" is included in this package, from .maps, to scripts, to images and soundaliases and the mapstable.  

If any files are missing I will be happy to update the package & reupload.   More download links will be added as they become available, comment with your links to have them listed!

"Hill" is a true community map.  Do with it what you will.  Enjoy.

"Resurrection" Map Pack, Preview

$

Originally released in July of 2009, these 3 maps were my contribution to an old map pack released through another community.  I've decided to re-release these 3 maps without any community affiliation & some small updates to each map.

_______________________________________________________________

Dawnville

Source files were used in this remake of Call of Duty 2 Dawnville.  I wanted to make this map look completely different from other conversions & the original, so I decided on a storm theme.






_______________________________________________________________

Neuville

This conversion of Neuville from Call of Duty is a complete rebuild from the ground up, no source files were used.  I used a series of console commands to gather coordinates of terrain vertices & outer walls to measure brushes to ensure a near exact copy of the original map.






_______________________________________________________________

Trainwreck

Trainwreck was my first all new map for Call of Duty: World at War.  It takes place in a fictional russian train yard, lightly damaged by war.  This remains of my favorite creations, though it isn't the highest detailed map around, I personally enjoy this map more than most of my other maps.






 _______________________________________________________________

Testing will begin shortly, release soon after.


Until next time!

These maps were all previously released.  I decided to re-release them without community affiliation, some map improvements & bug fixes are included.

_______________________________________________________________
 Dawnville
This is a conversion of the Call of Duty 2 version of mp_dawnville.  Source files were used in this conversion.  Random lightning flashes using real-time worldspawn changes have been added.  Vehicles are not supported in this map.  This map was originally released in another map pack in July of 2009.




_______________________________________________________________
 Farm
This map was originally created by me for the now dead World at War Base Assault mod.  All gametypes are supported, however this is the only map in the pack that does not support the Dogs killstreak, as the map is too big.  There are 4 usable tanks & 6 usable Flak 88's in this map.  This map was originally released in another map pack in July of 2009.





_______________________________________________________________
 Neuville
This is a conversion of mp_neuville from Call of Duty.  No source files were used, I spent months using only console commands to aid in accurately rebuilding the map from scratchThere are 2 usable tanks in this map.  This map was originally released in another map pack in July of 2009.




_______________________________________________________________
 Trainwreck
This map was my first brand new map for Call of Duty: World at War.  Some reference photos where used but the map is mostly fictional.  Vehicles are not supported in this map.  This map was originally released in another map pack in July of 2009.

"Pacific", Preview

I've been working on this map since the beginning of July.  The playable area design is finished, next I'll start some texturing & off-map design.

The map is very large, American vs Japanese, most likely no vehicles or Dogs killstreak.  "Pacific" is just a working title.

"Pacific", Preview 2

Since the initial preview, I've made the following changes:
 
All new custom Worldspawn
New skybox
All new custom vision & fog
Finished off-map scenery & playable area
Detailed the cave
Placed grass over about 85% of the playable area
Replaced nearly all case (placeholder) textures
Imported a few models and textures from Black Ops

Currently the misc_model count is 5,688, I wouldn't expect the final count to exceed 8,000, which is lower than most of my levels.

Nazi Zombie cwFactory2, Preview

I started this map sometime in 2010 after releasing my first zombie map (axFactory, over 4,000 downloads in just under a year), I just recently picked it back up and decided to finally finish it.

The design is original, though inspired by the "Water Prison" level in Silent Hill 4: The Room (photo here, map here).

As of the now the level geo is about 65-70% complete.  I'll post better screenshots & video when more of the level is done.  This level uses the Nazi Zombie Prototype scripts, as I'm not a coder, it's too difficult for me to add all the extras included in the later Zombies map releases.

Original Works by Cornrow Wallace for Call of Duty: World at War

$

I've always enjoyed created my own levels; it's what got me interested in level design in the first place.  I started  learning how to build maps for Call of duty in 2004 for United Offensive.  Since 2004, I have created & released 5 UO maps, 5 WaW maps and 2 Company of Heroes maps.  When the decompiled .map sources were released, I jumped at the opportunity to convert & update some old maps for a new game, which I always wished the developers would.  I suppose some people see me as only a lazy mapper who cannot create his own levels, so here are a few I've created & released for Call of Duty: World at War.

________________________________________________________________________
"Trainwreck"
Released: July, 2009
Notes:  This was my first WaW level.  The layout is entirely made up, some photo references were used for buildings.








 
________________________________________________________________________
"Farm"
Released: October, 2009
Notes: Farm was originally built for a Base Assault mod, I later re-released it with all stock WaW gametypes supported.  The layout is entirely made up, features several static MG's & usable Flak 88 emplacements for combating tanks.  I built, unwrapped & textured the metal windmill mesh with 3DS Max 2009 and Photoshop.









________________________________________________________________________
"Strasbourg"
Released: August, 2010
Notes:  Of all the levels I've created, I'm most proud of Strasbourg.  Many times I tried to build a destroyed city map and just couldn't find a design I like.  The layout is entirely made up, nearly all buildings are based on reference photos.  This map features a lot of physics objects, including lightposts that can be knocked over by heavy fire or vehicles, dynamic window shutters that are hinged to buildings (some simply fall down when shot), and many others.  The middle bridge is intact for certain gametypes to provide better gameplay flow.  This was achieved by making the entire bridge a brushmodel group & applying the script_gameobjectname KVP values to it, same for the destroyed version.  The "crashing stuka" script was written by Zeroy with contributions from others.  This level uses 100% custom worldspawn, vision & fog settings.









________________________________________________________________________
"Hill"
Released: June, 2011
Notes: Hill was my first Japanese map.  My idea was simple:  create a beach map that revolves around a hill.  To get around linear gameplay, I built lots of terrain elevations & depressions, as well as a tunnel leading through the entire of the hill.  I thought this would pose a big portalling problem, but as it turned out portalling Hill was quite easy and the results are very good.  This is definitely my favorite map of all my originals.  This level uses 100% custom worldspawn, vision & fog settings.









________________________________________________________________________
"Saipan"
Released: August, 2011
Notes:  Originally, this map was meant to be a Russian forest map with a straight river running down the middle of a ravine.  Not long after building the first few meshes, I decided to instead make it a Japanese map.  Initially I wanted to start building it just like I did Hill, but I didn't want the two to look anything like each other.  And while Hill is my favorite & I learned a lot about cliff sculpting, I felt I could expand on that idea and make nicer looking cliff faces & rocks.  I'm extremely happy with how this level turned out.  Though not perfect, I think it shows a lot of growth from Hill.  This level uses 100% custom worldspawn, vision & fog settings.









A final note about every level I create or convert for WaW:  I always spent a lot of time creating a unique environment so whether it's an old map or a new map, the experience feels new & fun.  Each map has a full sound package including line emitters, loopers & randoms, and reverb/room tone triggers for every building and/or every room in every building.  Not to mention a ton of fx.

When I build a new map, I want it to look different from anything people have played in the game, so I don't copy techniques from stock maps, or use the same exact location the developers used.  I put a lot of time, effort and thought into each new project, so while my map conversions outnumber my original maps, I feel my original maps have something not a lot of others do.

This is a brand new CoD 4 level I've been working on for a little while.  Right now it uses lighting & vision from mp_overgrown.  The design is made up, several buildings were built in CoDWaW Radiant in anticipation of Black Ops mod tools awhile ago.  As of now this map uses quite a few textures & models from Black Ops.
