this will be updated regulary

most of the maps are on www.combatmaps.de and http://realmaps.beyondunreal.com . look here first while looking for new maps but you already know it.
i wont focus too much on maps on these sites, most of them are already popular due to their visibility on our mapsites.

you should check the fantastic map pack on combatmaps, all dtas tested, well some of them have a fantastic theme, but some could fit with realistic combat. and many are awesome.

on realmap, a pretty much obscure map is worth the try , its brikby original:

http://realmaps.beyondunreal.com/review.php?revid=14 not the prettiest map but a gameplay very very good. infact the map is made from a military training ground in denmark

"This map is a replica of a real place, a war simulation ground found in Denmark, though the author has never actually been to the place, he has had some help from others who have.

So judging from pictures i myself have seen from the real Brikby, and allowing for a little amount of creativity, this is as close as you will get to the place without joining the Danish army."


here is another classic, long time no see on dtas servers :

ennemy at the gate. not really obscure but i had to pick this one. great fights here


killhouse, a killhouse, nice training facility

Dogtown
http://combatmaps.planet-multiplayer.de/?site=dl&id=104
Classic mid-sized urban map, offers a variety of playing styles and lots of alternate routes.
(not very obscure but ok: )

CityStorageLotA
http://realmaps.beyondunreal.com/review.php?revid=187
A map modelled on a school, which doesn't totally suck . Again, a combination of close-quarter indoor stuff and outdoor ranges give a good variety.

This is a good idea, could renew the map pool a bit, I love discovering new maps online, much more tense play.
On the other hand, some of these maps are "obscure" for good reasons... ;)

Yes, Don is really a king. I have myself tried to find new maps in the vast UT world that we could use for DTAS and this is a real hard job.
Playing new maps is a way to prolong Inf life.
I noticed some maps from the Fantastic map pack that i would install on Riviera server, by the way, i would repeat this server still in test until the max player havent been reached with no crash :)
Thanks Don.

Nice job providing screenshots, it allows people to have a glance at what they choose to download.

Holy crap!! Motorpool! That was my second map. It was unplayable back in the day. Maybe modern computers can run it. Geez, I should have made that map when I had more experience. That map is FULL of rookie mistakes;)

i find that tacticaly, the map is one of the best you have done. the design is simple and superb.

hehe i understand why the lightning sucked in the inside buildings. i tweaked it. reinstall inf and play now..

if you have betas maps or unfinished or maps from other mappers feel free to add

the runway lights are a side effect of INF 2.9;) The map was made for 2.86 and for 2.9, the team decided to overwrite the damn things:(

feedback from playing some of those maps on n1 DTAS server:

piggiepie dtas is crashing people with gpf (i think it append when on some roofs).

motorpool dtas is cool but we spawned outside once, isn't there a trick to know our spawn location and remove it from the possible spawn point?
