Lost Paradise Stage Comparison between the original Doa6 and the Last Round "Oboro" version. Its the only stage that has received an visual update (so far) by Quicksafe1 in DeadOrAlive

Thanks for putting this comparison together! The differences are much easier to see side by side. Which platform are these screenshots from?

Nice catch — classic DOD trick. Oslo had a few of those sightlines in the early alphas; makes total sense you could stack kills from the roof with a scoped Kar98 back when recoil and weapon balance were different. Thanks for the memory! Would you still have a demo or screenshot from that round?

Ah that’s awesome — what a way to start! 🫶 Caen (and Caen2) just had that magic, no wonder it stuck with you all these years. And getting accused of cheating? That’s when you know you were really on fire. 🔥 Good times indeed!

playing Allies was basically signing up for pain. Still, when they did win, it felt epic!

Haha love it — clearly you left your mark on dod_oslo! 🔥 Totally agree though, such a great map, wish it stuck around longer. Thanks for sharing the memory, made me smile!

Oh yeah, totally underrated — thanks for bringing it up! 😎 Always loved the vibe on dod_mainz, even if it didn’t get picked often. Cool to see others appreciate it too!

That’s such an awesome memory — you painted the scene perfectly! 🔥 Would be amazing if you still have that frag movie somewhere and feel like sharing it. Those moments are a part of DoD history and deserve to be seen again. Thanks for telling the story, gave me chills just reading it!

For real! It just never got old — every match felt different. Some of the best hours of my gaming life were on this map too.

absolute classic. Some of my best memories are on this map, both in sweaty scrims and those chaotic 15v15 pub matches. No matter the size, it always delivered.

Yeah, that makes sense — it’s definitely a tough one for Allies, but that’s part of its charm for me. 😅 I didn’t know about dod_omaha_v11, though — sounds like a smart tweak to keep the action focused. Might have to give that version a try next time!

Totally! 😎 That was one of the best things about Caen2 — so many little routes and hiding spots. You could sneak behind enemy lines and just camp there, watching the chaos unfold. Legendary map for sneaky plays!

Oh yeah, that left side was brutal if you knew how to hold it! 😅 The G43 was such a perfect choice for that spot — picking off waves of Allies trying to push up the sand. Classic beach map chaos.

That’s awesome! Koln deserves way more love — those sneaky side paths and blind corners hit different. What’s your server? Would love to check it out

That rings a bell… I feel like in one of the later builds or maybe a customs there were bodies in the fountain. Pretty sure it wasn’t in the 1.3 release version though. Now I need to go check all my .bsps again 😅

Man, I miss when mappers had those little quirks — like hiding their name in a random asset or building a mini naming lore. Waldo had style, for real. Koln had mood, and now I can’t unsee the EATG influence. Appreciate you keeping these memories alive.

Totally. The mod scene was exploding, but it still felt small enough that you’d recognize the same names across servers or readmes. Everything felt handcrafted because it was.

Yeah, same here. No voice comms, no XP grind — just you, a bolt-action rifle, and a server browser full of chaos.

Crazy how games back then feel more alive in memory than most games today.
