maps in v0.9?

[myles]

All these maps and many more will return in the not too distant future as part of a secondary map pack, but their GPO's will be altered...

Ah i had an SAS tactic i wanted to try out as SL on operation ghost train.

Nothing is better in PR that roaming around in a tank squad, dominating the land before you. I love these huge wide open maps. I get enough INF on other shooters, give me armor + squad + strategy = greatness (ie Kashan and qinling)

Until ofc the Sniper lases you and you're dead before you know it

All part of the game, and thats what makes it great.

Al Kufrah, Mestia, Ghost Train and Sunset City were my favorites. I'm quite disappointed. Oh, Tad Sae is gone, too.

What can I say? Forest/Jungle infantry action will be missed - but hopefully replaced with the promising new maps.

[Aquiller]

Good maps, but outdated - their place is somewhere else now. Dont despair, gentlemen, the new is better.

[ghoststorm11]

Does any1 know if these new maps will be like a new Kashan or Qinling? Basically, lots of assests and a huge playable area.

Also you do know there's so much more to the game than being in a tank?

& You don't dominate the ground in a tank, generally you're hiding from jets/HAT/enemy tanks until you get a good grif ref. then you can go blow something up.

There is a niche to be had though by driving a tank. I, personally, only drive tanks and play support in INF. Thats what I like to do when i play PR. Being in a tank, i think, controls how the fight resolves when playing Kashan and Qinling. I pride myself on being a good to great tank driver. I dont like to gun. By filling that role, I can bring more enjoyment to my team, gunner, and players by not being a smacktard. I am not that good at shooting long distance, but I am good with spotting, strategy, tactics, and...lol... driving. So, tanking caters to my needs as a player, and I like it alot. Thats why I want more tank/APC maps. Being a good tanker means the ability to go out with the Jets, HAT, and enemy tanks, and coming out with minor to no personal losses. Cool?

[RELEASE_THE_KRAKEN]

I dare say: Driving a tank may be easier than gunning a tank, but being good at driving a tank is infinitely more challenging than being good at gunning.

If it's not to much to ask, can we trade back Qinling for Mestia?

[Smurf_39]

never did like 1km jungle maps so its all good, from what i can see dev's chose the right maps for the skip.

out with the old in with the new.

[snooggums]

One thing to note on all of the small jungle maps is that their grass didn't render at much of a distance, and updating something like to Korengal Valley type grass would take quite a bit of time and it would appear mappers would rather make other maps. You might even notice some existing maps have changes that improve game play, they just had someone who was willing to work on those changes.

I'm about 95% certain that if similar maps were created with grass that displayed at a large distance and were designed to fit the new game play they would be eligible for inclusion.

Dropped maps appear to be dropped for not fitting the overall game play changes and not having someone to make those changes. As noted retro packs will make them available, but other maps have been given priority by those who make the maps. There's nothing stopping someone from making similar maps and attempting to make them fit the current game play.

Not to mention how the AI can lay in fire at you through dense brush like the Terminator.

Good, all these map suck, sorry.

I know what you mean. Mestia was a blast to play and Qinling...well playing infantry on that map was possibly one of the worst experiences you could have playing PR.

I am waiting to see how vehicle warfare mode plays out though. If it's how i imagine, Qinling may find its calling.

[NyteMyre]

Tad Sae was nickbonds first map ever... But rounds on that map were short and in my opinion had a unlogical flag-layout.

Fun to read the old WIP threads

That's funny.

What some people seem to forget is that not ALL players are afraid to step outside the safety of armor and fight "rifle on rifle". Some of us don't feel the need to mow infantry down from 300m away while sitting in heavy armor. There are some of us who still like grass, trees and a little cqc.

Why?

They were amazing - they were the ONLY (and I mean ONLY) maps in Pr that actually got my heart thumping with some fast paced action, I remember one game of Tad Sae where our squad walked into an enemy squad with neither squad noticing until there was a burst of Automatic fire, and there was a super quick battle that lasted about 20 seconds where the Americans were slaughtered.

Oh and don't even try and say that that's not realistic or doesn't show Team Work - our squad was doing a patrol to clear out the jungle east of a Firebase where some enemies had been sighted, in an excellent round with a brilliant commander As for realism... Close range fighting doesn't last long IRL.
