why can't we have big maps like bf2

Here's an idea of the total size the Sharqi map will be (pic is from Radiant):



And for scale:

I see his map is coming along pretty nice.

[imported_Whiskey]

Yeah, he said it's compiling now, and he'll be doing a public beta release very soon.

Yep, it looks like a very nice map and looks like the perfect size for a nice amount of players.

Well, seems that guy was pretty quick...here is the [BETA] release of Sharqi: http://www.infinityward.com/communit...?topic=14410.0

That looks really cool. Wonder when we will get to see a wake, a wake always comes out for a good game. I personally don't like it though.

The reason why we don't have large Battlefield maps is because they're either a) large open spaces with only a few things in them surrounding flags or b) your typical urban CoD style map, just larger and for more players.

It's really nothing special...

That sharqi map looks very nice,whisky what servers to u play on,are u the same whisky that plays poe2.Any poe2 players i bet would love that map "fallen" on cod4.

Well [MyIs]Alex
I dual sli'ed 8500's because one wasn't good enough...It's cheap...and supports directX 10. I could have gotten a 7800 but its not DX10 and I didn't want it. When i get a job I will dual two 8800's...so how do think about that...I did have a reason for buying two 8500's

lol, you can just about play DX10 games on a 8800Ulta, but only just. You put anything DX10 near those 8500's and they will die.

Should have gone for a single 7900gtx. They are pretty damn cheap on ebay now and would beat those 8500's hands down.

Bigger maps would be nice, but i read through this whole forum, and you get a littel bit of both sides. Maps like BF2 would damn near piss me off, unless spawned right. Ever been spawned really far away from the action in BF2 with no vehicle around you... Oh buddy, i just want to hit ~ and type quit. Other then that. i think a bigger map would be alot more fun then "throw a nade - die" aspect. Its hard to compair BF2 with COD4 because they are so very diffrent, and both very very good games.

[judgeschmales]

I think bigger maps might bring a little more teamwork into play.Might actually make voip usefull.I'm not sure but cod seems to make u spawn on forward points anyway.

[jackal22]

fallen would rock, but the lmgs would wtf pwn everyone in cod4 because there is no overheat and cone of fire.

also im a little sad to see that the front part of sharqi didnt make it into the map =( for me that place always had more action then the tv tower where it was a sniper gang bang on the roof.

Yes 7800's are damn powerful but not DX10 compatible. All 8 series cards can handle DX10, because thats what they are built to run...Like I said my computer will kick *** when I load 2 8800's into them. Cod4 on my computer already dishes out 70-91 Fps in COD4 and thats with all settings on high, but I had to turn anti-aliasing down a bit cuz it started to lag. Other than that I get a 80% performance increase with two 8500's.

Nah, that's not me. I wanted to like BF2, but never could.

Some of those POE maps looked pretty cool though, and might make good conversions to COD4 if anyone makes them.
