Have a read of those two topics.

When reading tutorials, bare in mind CoD and CoD2 mapping are basically identical (other than when using custom textures and when you have to compile).

There are plenty of tutorials (some are in fact video tutorials) on http://www.modsonline.com - choose the game on the left (and choose CoD mapping if there aren't any sufficient CoD2 mapping starter tutorials).



Here are some CoD1 tutorials to get you started if you can't find any of use:

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-141.html

there is one good video tutorial on modsonline....

modsonline.com always has some really good tutorials and information for new mappers. if u cant find what u need on this site, check modsonline second, it'll most likely be on there

thanks guys
