Its actually not too big, around 700 by 800. So far, it runs better than official maps while only slightly lacking small details.

700x800 [if it is the true playable size] is actually very large for a 1v1.

You didn't post the file up anywhere did you? I wanted to take a look to make sure you weren't making some mistakes, but if it is singleplayer, maybe you don't need to worry about the basic stuff for a map.

The 700x800 is the base map size. The actual playable zone is a bit smaller, probably somewhere around 640 x 700. It is technically a 2v2, but really its a 1v1. The second players on both sides are mostly there for flavor units. Once I get the map filled out, I'll post a WIP version on the workshop for testing. Feel free to msg me for a incomplete version though.

Since its a single-player map made for a mod, I'm trying to take the basic design principles for normal COH2 maps and modify them to suit it. Longer ranges means things can look slightly more realistic and less gamey/compact, and the single-player aspect means that it should favor the player/soviet side.

Don't forget that you need an "interactivity stage" layer, with a minimum of 32 meters around it available for the camera fade/ oob area. The recommended anymore is 64m just for detailing reasons. If you didn't add this your map may be a little to small. Other than that it sounds like you're alright.

I guess the real question is, what do you need help with?

Do you have a reference and/or screens you can share?
