[mockingbird0901]

I lol at how after all these years PR is only at version 1.0 haha...

Why? Would it be better if they had larger numbers?

0.973 MAP PACK

The Project Reality:BF2 team is proud to announce the upcoming release of FOUR NEW MAPS as part of a 0.973 Map Pack that will be released in December.

Black Gold (4km)
Created by [R-CON]VapoMan


Operation Marlin (2km)
Created by [R-CON]billoute


Pavlovsk Bay (4km)
Created by[R-DEV]Rudd


Vadso City (4km)
Created by [R-CON]pleym

In addition to these new maps, the map pack will also include three favorites from the past that have been updated for 0.973.


Assault on Mestia (1km)
Created by IronTaxi and updated by [R-CON]AnimalMother


Operation Ghost Train (1km)
Created and updated by [R-DEV]Rhino


Tad Sae Offensive (1km)
Created by NickBond592 and updated by [R-DEV]AFsoccer

As you can see, this is NOT your standard winter map pack! Many of these maps have been in development for over a year and have all of the features and details that you've come to expect from PR:BF2 maps. Another difference is that this map pack is not seasonal and they will all be integrated into the next full release of PR:BF2 or PR:Vietnam.

Beta Test / Stress Test

So why are we telling you this now if the map pack won't be released until December? Well, based on feedback from the community and development team, we will be conducting a beta test / stress test November 25-27. The Tactical Gamer (TG) and New Era Warfare (NEW) servers have graciously volunteered to host the beta test and will be running all seven maps during those three days.

To sign up and get more information, please visit their respective forums:
NEW: Newcommunity.eu • View topic - 0.973 Map Pack Betatest
TG: ANNOUNCEMENT Masive Epic New Maps Event at TG

They will provide details, server rules, passwords, etc. If you're not able to help with the beta test, have no fear. The fully-tested map pack will be released in December, so keep your eyes on the Project Reality forums in a few weeks.

Also, since I'm sure we'll get questions... This is not a patch to 0.973. Since downloading the map pack is completely optional, we are unable to change files to existing maps. Those changes will be seen when PR publishes its next full release.

Enjoy... and please help test.

Hi mod,

As administrator of ITW and PR.IT Server, I would like to help with testing the beta pack. We would like to receive the map pack "server side" in order to load some maps into the training server.

Please contact me in PM DEVs!

Thank you!

[Shovel]

So, the test ends today?

In the OP, it says that the map pack will be released in December. So in a few days will be be able to play it again?

[AFsoccer]

Just a reminder that the map pack BETA ends today. I've told the TG and NEW admins to remove the map pack within the next 24 hours. The exact time will be up to them.

Also, please remember to give us feedback and report any bugs that you experienced.

FEEDBACK and BUG REPORTING

Obviously the purpose of the beta test is for us to receive feedback from you so we can make changes and fixes prior to the final release in December. So, please use the following two locations:

To report a bug (such as a floating building, flag that won't cap, etc.) please go to:
PR:BF2 Bugs - Project Reality Forums
Please use the bug reporting template and be as descriptive as possible.

To give feedback (such as assets, balance, gameplay, etc.) please go to:
PR:BF2 v0.97 Feedback - Project Reality Forums

The map creators will start fixing bugs and making changes as early as tomorrow so we can have this release ready for mid-December. The exact date will be published soon.

Thanks again for everyone that downloaded and helped test!

We would like to thank everybody for participating and please report feedback or bugs in the respective threads.
We also welcome any input/criticism to our server administration at our Server Feedback Thread.

I've told the TG and NEW admins to remove the map pack within the next 24 hours. The exact time will be up to them.

TG will end the beta test at 18.48 UTC.

Do we have to do anything (ie ~delete the maps) not to cause trouble with the next PR patch, or will it be overwritten automatically?

It's probably best to uninstall it.

- If you allowed shortcuts to be created while installing, go to your start menu and uninstall that way.

- Or you can open your control panel and you'll see the map pack in your programs list. Just right click and uninstall.

I'm told the final version will overwrite the beta files, but this is the easiest way to be sure there aren't conflicts.

Thanks

Will be some of them navmeshed for gods sake ?

[Rudd]

they will if the individual mapper has the time and energy

[simeon5541]

they will if the individual mapper has the time and energy

Is that yes or no ?

[Spyker2041]

I'll see what I can do in the coming months, but only for the updated versions of Mestia, OGT and Tad Sae. No point meshing the other maps as terrain/statics/OG may well change before final release.

[Rhino]

should be able to use the old OGT navmeshes?
