[?] What do people want in maps?

[HangMan_]

As a mapper i think it is important to map to both the needs of the mod but also to map the kind of stuff that people want.

So if there is nethng u want to see in a map, or things from different maps that you think would go nicely together then post ur opinion.

Currently i am working on two maps and want to make them to a very high quality while still having things that people want to play on. Because lets face it if people don't like it they won't play it.

All suggestions are welcome. Try to be sensible with them though so nothing too extreme or silly.

People seem to like well-done insurgency maps. A good balance between technology (Am/Brit) and tactics (Insurgents) can make for a great map. Also I've read a lot of requests for an insurgency map with some sort of attack helicopter.

[arjan]

AT cannons !

[Dobson]

It would be nice to have at least one big armoured warfare map. Just tank's v tank's. And maybey helicopters. That would keep the vehicle whores like me happy . Meaning that the infantry lovers wont have to put up with 5 squads devoted to one asset on the map like an attack helicopter (*COUGH*, MUTTRAH, *COUGH*).

CQC in big buildings and complexes. Infantry fights at the bunkers in kashan are allways impressive.

[Zeno]

lots of vegitation and apc or tanks and attack chopper so its easy to ied or take them out with AT

[WilsonPL]

Maps with OPFOR helicopters (MEC/China),

Maps with armor but not armor-only like kashan.

[Snazz]

Outskirts on 'city' maps (not just a bunch of multistory buildings sticking out in the middle of a desert).

4x4 Marine amphibious assault maps.

Specialized tank battle maps.

Basically whatever hasn't been done already or could be improved upon, the various factions/community mods could do with some maps.

ok so so far i'm seeing that people want:

1) AT cannons.
2) Well made and well balanced Insurgency maps.
3) Tanks.
4) Lots of vegetation as cover.

I believe that Dr Ranks Sangin will cover numbers 2 & 4.

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming

I suggest to move this to general/suggestions... so we can get a larger opinion. Also, this might seem interesting to you:

a good infantry urban map where APCs and Trans chopper would play a major role to a mobile force

[cyberzomby]

Personaly, I think we are getting a good fare share of well done insurgency maps, we already have those as well, we also already have 2 gigantic tank/vehicle whore maps. What I want is a well done AAS map. With the level of detail/immersion a normal insurgency map has

We also seem to have loads of dessert maps. So maybe a greenish map will do? Asset wise, I dont mind really. XD

We are lacking serious mountain maps with tight towering canyons Would make for great insurgency maps.

The thing we miss is PR is long range combat. Its pretty unrealistic to encounter the enemy in such a close range and it would be great to have a map in PR that offers the terrain good enough to fight with 100-400m space between the team. From my experience in Archer I've had fights as Taliban from over 400 meters and we kicked the **** out of them and they've always been so freaking intense.

[Billrocks]

i think you need a map that resembles Qatar Desert like in transformers with small sand hut villages

[Alex6714]

Combined arms maps, probably western style, a bit like qinling with green, trees, villages, hills, the odd mountain/river.Like some OPK2 maps I guess or the type of thing you see in OFP2 trailer and such.

Also urban combined arms maps. Jungle maps, not like ghost train, but like Medal of honour rising sun, eve of destruction type maps.

Don´t much care for desert, unless its really well done or a mix. Just boring and not that pretty to me. Something like sangin is nice because it isn´t just flat sand, its a mix between desert and urban/green.

im making a training map for a cqb city with apcs and light trans helis atm, so far its looking good, my goal is to be done by the release of .9 and if not then well w/e the next release is. I will be updating my pics pretty soon here so keep updated on my thread.

[McBumLuv]

Huge, combined arms/long range maps, à la 64km^2 range, being done with static land...

Actually, is it not possible to have such huge statics actuallyextend beyond the nogo zones without terrain (IE water)? I was looking at Muttrah, and some of the road statics extended beyond the map's edges, so if that's possible, we could definitely have any map above 64km^2.

Would love to see a huge combined arms map like that

I'm working on a map with lots of mountains. I'm at least 60% done, so hopefully i can finish it up for 0.9

I haven't posted anything in a while but the thread is .... https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354-c ... r-wip.html

I want variety. I don't want a all urban map, I don't want a all forest map. I want things to be found there, a hut, a swamp whatever.

I want things in the map that promote teamwork, i.e cover that promotes fixing and flanking
