🗺️ TDM Goes Beyond the Classic Maps

The classic Call of Duty 2 maps have their own charm, and we definitely don't want to leave them behind. Toujane, Carentan, Burgundy and Matmata simply belong to CoD2.

But why not explore somewhere different every once in a while? 😄

That's why we started experimenting with custom maps on our Team Deathmatch • All Weapons server.

We tested several different candidates – from maps that still feel like classic CoD2 to some slightly crazier creations.

And of course, Hobbiton had to be included.

Because if you're running a WWII shooter, it's perfectly logical that sooner or later you'll end up running around the Shire with a Thompson. 😂

Custom maps also brought another challenge – getting them to the players.

So we started working properly on our FastDL, making sure the required files are downloaded automatically and, more importantly, quickly when joining the server.

Naturally, things didn't go completely smoothly. At one point, Hobbiton apparently decided that downloading it once simply wasn't enough and started downloading over and over again for some players. 😅

After a few adjustments, however, we got FastDL working properly, with the required files now downloading within just a few seconds.

We're also gradually deciding which custom maps really belong on the server. We don't want our TDM to become a random collection of everything ever created for CoD2.

The goal is to combine popular classic maps with a selection of quality custom maps that bring something new while still working well for Team Deathmatch.

So the next time you join the Rusty Brothers server and don't recognize the map…

…don't worry.

You've probably just found yourself in another one of our experiments. 🗺️🐒

We may be rusty, but we still fight.
