[Map] Al Muthana Desert (4km) [WIP]

[STORM-Mama]

Will it be possible to see tanks breaking through the fences surrounding the bunker complex? Could lead to interesting suprise attacks from unexpected locations and require alot more from the defenders. And it's just ridiculous that pesky fences like that should be able to stop a MBT.

I'm afraid not, I'm already flirting with the destructable object limit

However there are 3 places vehicles can enter and around 8 where infantry can enter (holes in the fence, though grapples will work 2)

The tank traps were added precisely for the reason that teh fences are pesky.

However, I am considering making a couple of sections destructable, though I doubt it is require as tanks aren't really wanting to enter the bunker complex as the infantry have so many hidey holes.

[STORM-Mama]

Sounds great! ave to congratulate you on your work. You weren't afraid to make the terrain pretty much flat, which both feels closer to a real desert and will hopefully make tank battles more interesting (and you won't have to climb any mountains, thank God for that!). Much appreciated, this is the kind of desert map I've wanted.

Good luck with your future work.

latest minimap

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

latest version of the map in the PR configuation

[Snazz]

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

Dang...

From what I can see in the minimap picture I'm guessing you got rid of the outer fence on the mains.

[Rudd]

no, the outer fence remains. Sorry about the link guys, megaupload is being crappy, uploading to 4shared, version with the US Army for the Combined Arms Minimod will also be avaliable.

[stiankir]

No mountains to conceal my blitzkrieg versus the opponent?

alternative link for the PR version

Oh! and btw, I'm going to change the name of the map as the terrain now has nothing to do with a specific real life desert tbh, especially the al muthana kuwaiti desert.

I was thinking 'Operation Burning Sands'/Burning sands but I'm open to suggestions.

edit, links removed for now.

[MaxBooZe]

Well, what is the small story behind this map?

[Scot]

Operation Hot Potato.

[MaxBooZe]

NATO Potato?

[Wicca]

The Battle of the burnt sand?

The Desert agression?

The sun the sand, and you.

I am going to leave it on bright sunny for now, I promise I will make a early dawn scenario for a community match.

what about that sandstorm?i guess that your map is 4km,so it would maybe lag bigtime.
but was that map how big?was it laggy?

i cant remember much about that map.
only what i remember was that sandstorm.

just a couple of things ive picked up while crusing around your map;


i'm kind of confused as to whos attacking who ; the brits a pretty entrenched in the north, with both the FOB, and a 'more' developed main (well its got more concrete than the other )

i also don't understand the reasoning behind the whole destruction of the bunker line, while the bunker complex itself is pretty much untouched (bar the plane crash entrance)

also im fairly sure its for testing purposes but the vehicles are pretty cramped together

the 'T' junction near the Brit FOB, are you building a small settlement there or is it just a few houses? its just it seems odd to have a t junction if it is just a couple houses being linked up to the hamlet down the road.

also, RE: brit main, its a bit odd to have camo netting over the barracks, mess, fuel dump etc, when there all built upon a concrete foundation, would of though that make them stand out more

the brit spawn point is a bit odd, with half the entrance of the hanger blocked off with hexicos...

and one last thing, the brit runways or rather the roads leading to them from the aircraft hangers, are you considering perhaps raising the terrian surround them at all (possible Z-fighting issue?)? its just that in my haste to take off the first time i slipped off, and it was a real pain in the arse to get it back on, as well as if this was in game i would of been blocking the route of the other aircraft, see the picture for what i mean




so far those, i do like it quite a lot. infantry should be able to have a fair bit of fun in the village while the tanks are crusing along the sands. should be far easier on the troops compared to kashan, and should tidy up nicely once you go into the little details (wondering what it would look like with a Desert rat-esqe sky)

oo0, and 'burning sands' much better than 'Op Burning sands'

Would you fire arty or airstrike something with a doom-silo with something inside you dont know what is?

Even the Israelis only bomb suspected nuclear facilities in the construction fase

Would you fire arty or airstrike something with a doom-silo with something inside you dont know what is?

i would, because its better to leave that doom where it is than allow it to launch and fall on you
