Custom Map Competition

Re: Custom Map Competition

Why can't we have maps that are ranked and I can put on my server ? We need some new maps for gods sake.

I mean there is 17,000 people playing BF2 compared to 7,500 as we speak.

Re: Custom Map Competition

EA should add a custom map each month or so. I mean, its win win for them whatever.

hehe, maybe i should enter muttrah into this compertion but i dunno how good the map would be without the littlebirds but every one in BF2 gets parashutes so it wouldn't be to hard :p

I don't see why it would be hard, considering that BF2 vanilla supports the little bird if you have AF. I would think you could just add the model in with the map...or if EA were to ever use Mod maps like muttrah, they could just bind it for those that have the AF expansion pack. It would suck for everyone that does not have it, but hey, for those that spent the $10 bucks, it is a win!

lol, the EA Littlebird isnt really a littlebird and dosent carry enouth ppl for it to really suit the map as the LB for muttrah is mainly about inserting the troops into the battle :)

I always get comments about my flying when I fly the minigun LB. I usually pick up SL's and transport them to flags then do circles and spins looking for people :laugh:

Re: Custom Map Competition

I did 4 maps in 10 days lol. You have to have a vision, a plan, and the willingness to execute without delay.

No mening to be rude but a map a day, they must be a bit crap. I can spend up to a month working on a good map. Quality not quantity buddy.

Re: Custom Map Competition

Well, i thinks D-Jaws is right because it also depends which editor you have, like I have 3ds studio max, then I import it in one of my BF2 mapping mod tools, then I have to make a website so then I could post it! well, I obviously can't really mod a lot because I have school, so it takes me like 8 weekends to finsish a map. Oh well, One of my new maps are BF2 revolution and Streakfound, which have not yet been done because they are huge maps. But, one good tip ofr modding is to always have an inspiration and plan on a paper( like I always do) and to throw out the bad ideas, then start the map.

Re: Custom Map Competition

I could make a crappy 256x2 map in afew hrs if i wanted to but thats not really the point is it, when you make a map, to make one well you need to put a hell of alot of thought and planning into one.

Not meaning to be rude back but who said a map a day? LOL..it wasn't me.

Please, enter the contest, this way you can see just how crappy my maps are lol.

Yeah, you could make a crappy 256x2 map in a few hours or you could make an awesome 256x2 map.

My 256x2 map will be the one where you asked me what type of lighting I used on it...Operation: Sabre. This is the all underground bunker complex.

Here are some preview screenies of completed areas.

Re: Custom Map Competition

Well...whatcha waiting for? Get mapping man!!!!!! I know you got skills. Just make a small 256x2 map. Like I said in other threads, PRMM has some awesome maps...be a shame to not represent yourself and your mod.

I see some really good statics in PRMM and if I had access to those resources, I would answer the call that I get asked constantly....a beachhead map.

A good tropical beach. Jesus....all you have to do is make it. I goddamn guarantee you that it would be a winner.

I'm telling you dude, you get a heightmap like this:


total freaking carnage. Of course you'd need alot more beach but I keep envisioning the beach view from the show Lost. It will remind people of Farcry but so what? It'd be unique for BF2. The only other mapper I've seen do this is spfreak...but his was boat wars.

I'll tell you what, if you'd like, I won't submit anything for this contest and instead, I'll go in on a collaboration with just you.
