Story:
I always wanted to create a real competition map for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. But I never got started to a real
project like this... the only maps I finished are small 1v1 / 2v2 maps or my trickjumpmap (a bit bigger though).
So well, back in the Winter of 2006 I really had too much freetime because of holiday and stuff. So it came that
I reinstalled all the mappingstuff on my harddisk and thought about a nice map.
Anyway this maybe sounds a bit weird but when this amok run happened in Germany - Emsdetten me and some friends
were together hanging out and randomly heard that the guy who ran amok had mapped his school for Counterstrike.
Because we always have much fun @ LAN's and stuff the idea of mapping our school for W:ET @ LAN's became more
and more reality.
Before I write on I really have to note that I misprize the happenings of Emsdetten and i'm sorry for all
the victims and that not in my farest thougts plan to do something like an amok run.
Okay , well in my winterholidays I went skiing and had much fun but also some time to think about my mapping project.
There were many things to plan. (If you really try to remap something of your daily life you'll notice that you don't
remember many details of the looks and stuff ;>) So I made some photos , searched + created textures and made some outlines.
Anyway after about 2weeks when I were back at school I finally started to create the map in my GTKRadiant.
The map is not a perfect remake of Odenthal (the small city it's located in) because I set a higher value
on making the school realistic than the terrain etc. But still there are much similarities like the small
river ,some grassland...
So this is the story behind the map and the name Odenthal. The story set in W:ET is the following:
Axis have constituted an headquarter in the school of Odenthal. Therefore they rebuild some parts of
the school and the town. The Allies forces have to escort their Jagdpanther through the streets of
Odenthal to get access to the school. After this they have to destroy the Main Entrance and the Generator to
disable the magnetic seal of the Security doors to get access to the main building of the school. Inside this
the Axis store their secret documents which have to be secured by the Allies Forces.
