Hi all...
First of all, I'm sorry for my poor english, i'm french....
I'm proud to annonce you i'm currently working on a custom map that i hope will become a custom mod...
It's based on the "operation restore hope", Mogadishu, october 3, 1993, base of the "Black Hawk Down" movie.
I know it as been a lot talked about in this forum, but i'm making a set of 4-5 maps covering the entire operation in a realistic "objective-like" style.
I'm currently working from US military satellit pictures taken the day of the raid, to improve the realistic effect of the maps.
The first map i'm working on covers :
- The insertion of the US Rangers at the Olympic Hotel,
- The beginning of the humvees convoy from the Olympic Hotel,
- The raid on target building,
- The road to the 1st crash site.
I'll respect the geography of the city and the way the convoy must get to the crash site. The map is 400m x 300m, with a lot of building, all the CP are capeable except the US insertion zone, and there is only one unique way for the convoy to reach the objectives (Olympic Hotel -> target building -> 1st crash site).
This map is only ground, with the humvees convoy at a side, and a few Somalian jeeps at the other.
I plan to use a realistic mini-mod like bfe-0.66 (very good balance IMO) to improve the reality of the game and to make it difficult. I plan to disable the commander Arty. I think i will tweak the ticket ratio and the team balance to improve the realistic-side of the map.
Other maps should be :
- The road to the olympic hotel (start of the operation)
- the road to the second crash site
- a night map where US Rangers must keep their building waiting for the Delta Forces
- a very large map which cover the complete city with airport, Rangers HQ, blackhawks, littlebirds. The only uncapeable CP would be the airport, and the US must go through the city to cap all the objectives. The goal is to make the use of the choppers very difficult, trying to cover the grounded rangers and the convoy.
At this point of my work, I've finished drawing scaled-satellit pictures of the city on the paper and i start working with the editor.
If anyone has ideas on this, i'm very waiting for some usefull help to make my map/mod very fun...
I'll post my satellit pictures and shots of the map very soon.
Thanks to all the community for your help realizing my project, and sorry again for my english....
