[Map] Wake Island (4km) [WIP]

[DevilDog812]

maybe you can place the island-holder's artillery placements there

[Amok@ndy]

the area dont looks to small for the misile silo but its to low
you will swim inside the bunker

I did not think of that, but worst case was to just use to top, covers, and something to block the doors, rubble... but alas, it hangs over the dock or beach anyway you turn it.

Here's the typhoon sky and newer lighting to match, kinda. Not sure which concerns the islanders more, the typhoon or the sun swallowing the earth (yea, that's not a flare). Took thunkstorm2, Kasharn I think, and clouds from another to get a typhoon type of dusk.

I think a perfectly clear blue sky will suit the map better. After all... its a Pacific Island, and usually it is not fun to play on sunset maps. Just too much glare, and BF2 does not handle the dusk well.

Thanks, it's pretty easy to go overboard in no time. Typhoon is a must but I'm definitely
going to tone down the reds/yellows/blacks to yellows, blues, and gray.

North Airfield (looking west). Last spot I have to find buildings for outside a couple spots elsewhere. I hoped to be further along but had a personal project reality in actually getting some paying work.



Once I get them in place I'll be pulling everything into a new map bit by bit for testing, as I've yet try to play it. Then add in much more clutter and fine-tune the rest. Hope to have a beta download before BC2 is out.

[Amok@ndy]

BC2 is already out ... since 2nd march

How are China invading the island? Will they start off with a position already established on the island?

Because there's no Chinese naval/amphibious assets apart from possibly using a cargo ship like the Russians on Beirut.

May want to reverse it so the Marines are making an amphibious assault like in VBF2.

Wake island is controlled by the US there is a ICBM or some missile testing facility there iirc

[Snazz]

Wake island is controlled by the US

Yeah I know.

What I was suggesting for this PR map is that China already invaded the island and the US were counter-attacking (like the vBF2 version).

[Rudd]

I think a blufor defending map would be a breath of fresh air in a conventional arena.

Sure, except PR's opfor have no amphibious assault ships. All they can use is a cargo ship or a parachute spawn.

Otherwise they need to start on the island.

[Amok@ndy]

or use apcs and boats ! and trans choppers

[Rudd]

parachute spawn on to wake island...?

Oh god I think I jizzed a little

[Dankicity]

My brain must of added in a zero. Not the first time that's happened... surely not the last.

(jumps up as to not stain the new couch with freshly filled pants)

Concept was China's on land already (SW) with a timed spawn up north. Probably a trans heli or two and boats. Honestly haven't addressed vehicles or spawns yet but I think we're on the same page about a para...insertion. Though it would have to only be up north. Since to have a Chinese plane freely flying over an American airstrip is likened to having Gandhi fighting in a Jihad. Ain't gonna happen.

Thought about putting some spawns for both on the cargo ship to add a variable. Maybe a Chinese heli and boat(s) to give an objective. Don't know yet if the spawn could only let, maybe 5 spawn and expire. Most unlikely but sounds tactical (occupy ***-hats).

[Snazz]

Spawning where? Middle of the ocean?

[Amok@ndy]

beirut ? did you played that ? there are also apcs in the water !

[Snazz]

beirut ? did you played that ? there are also apcs in the water !

Yeah, next to a cargo ship you can spawn on.

werent you talking about an cargoship ?

[Snazz]

werent you talking about an cargoship ?

I mentioned it as an option for a Chinese assault yeah.

Then afterwards you replied:

or use apcs and boats ! and trans choppers

I interpreted 'or' as 'instead of', so I asked where they would spawn.

Just a misunderstanding I guess.

[Celestial1]

The Russian carrier present on Beirut could be substituted for a Chinese carrier later on.

Just saying.
