Dawnville (map)

Dawnville is a map that is in Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive and Call of Duty 2. It is based on the level in Call of Duty called Dawnville which itself is based on Ste. Mere Eglise.

Origins
Dawnville is a dramatization of the town of Sainte Mere Eglise which the 101st and 82nd Airborne dropped in the early morning of June 6 in part of Operation Overlord. This particular city, is hit by both divisions, but the initial assault is led by Baker Company and Captain Foley.

Gameplay
The map Dawnville is exactly like the Call of Duty level "Dawnville" in most respects. There is an open graveyard which is connected to a house that leads to the main road that runs down the town. Across the street from this house is the train station where the tracks run in the open from the 2 tunnels. Along these tracks are a post office, the train station and hotel. The hotel leads to the other end of the street. The 2nd story of the hotel is great for sniping across the way that has a direct visual with the church entrances and exits, a hole in the wall from the ruins and the trench which can be used to counter-sniper the position. The map is both good for close range combat, sniping and machine gunning. There are a total of 2 machine guns in the map with one in the church and the other near the wall that leads to the train station. this version in in the games Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive. The combatants in it are the American Airborne and the German Wehrmacht.

In the Call of Duty 2 version, it is renamed Ste. Mere Eglise, and is almost exactly like it, but at the same time, with many differences. It has more restrictions, and the map has been striped of the train tracks and station. There has also been the addition of a Browning .30 Cal Machine gun near the church trench and more sniping positions. It might be considered tougher than the original because it has then sense of early morning, with less light. It's church is more detailed, with stained glass windows. The Call of Duty 2 version also has the same ruins. The combatants in in are the German Wehrmacht and the American Rangers.

Trivia

 * It is possible that this map was planned to be remade and reskinned for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare under the name Dusk, as it can be found in the game's source files. However, it was not included as a playable version for unknown reasons. Eventually, Carentan was remade instead, under the name Chinatown.
