We need new maps in patch (vbf2)

[kingwahwah]

Also Not so sunny ones. I want some atmosphere rather than sun burn. So dusk with tracers.

Missing maps...
a very tight valley ambush type map (aka afganistan)
a large burning oil field armor type map (aka Gulf war I)


Sorry but I have not seen many requests for this recently.

what would be good is a map similar to the battle of britain map - a huge expanse of water with 2 or 3 carriers chock full of fighters, and a land MEC base with a massive airport (not just runway)

that would be awesome, a map for dedicated planewhoreing and Air-to-air combat :)

Did you see the downloadable booster packs? One in Feb and one in March with three new maps each plus a new army and equipment... Sure they are $10 each but still, how cool is that...

I am really looking forward to the second one:

"Armored Fury will be released on March 28th and the focus is on large mechanized battles, harking back to the El Alamein style maps on BF1942. There will be 3 new maps – “Midnight Sun”, “Operation Harvest” and “Operation Road Rage” – but also 2 new vehicle classes. Attack Jets and Recon Helicopters, which can spot nearby enemy units, will make their debut."

The quality of karland then $10 is OK. But they have lost custom through not releasing maps earlier.

About time they gave the armour a good day out.

I too want a british esque map. Except the only british thing i want in it is rain. A map with weather would be awesome. Stop plane and helos flying too with all the thunder and lightning. Give me some nice british weather!!

Re: We need new maps in patch (vbf2)

Hmmmm rain I like your idea Bullit_toof.
Rain and Snow & Ice maybe some sleet put a chill in the jet jocks!!!

Re: We need new maps in patch (vbf2)

Weather effects are apparently not supported by the engine. No rain, no snow. It should be able to handle fairly good fog and smoke via the SF darkness shaders, but that's about it.

As for maps being given out in post-release patches, I wouldn't hold your breath. They might deside to tack one on, but consitering that they are working on these boosters I doubt they are interested in offical free content.

As mentioned, there are community made maps out there. Can't play 'em ranked, but *whatever*.

I'd rather have new game modes than maps though. Like the advance and secure mode, where you capture flags which have a linear progression to it (just like onslaught in UT2k4). For me, this will really promote teamwork, even to those who chose to be lonewolves. Because everybody has a single objective to go to everytime, and easier to defend the points if the opposing team choses to attack. But I think the issue here is now, how will the commander function now, since more or less the soldiers on the field would know what is happening?

Less chaotic / stressful situations = more fun for me, but those are just my opinions.

thunder and lightning

Yeah, let the jets fly. With random lightning, at last something will take a jet down
