bring back the Christmas map pleaseeeeee

[shellshock]

Hey, is there any way you guys could make Barentz invasion standard download with the new patch??? that map was so fun, and it just disappeared into the void.

[WeeD-KilleR]

yes please. Barentz Invasion was an awesome benchmark test for my gpu.

[SANGUE-RUIM]

bring them all

[speedazz]

Me +1 . It's always nice to see new content like maps ingame

[Moszeusz6Pl]

I'm pretty sure some server will run it during Christmas, but DEVs posted many times, that this maps are low quality(low detail snow textures, sand in explosion effects) and won't be included in regular release, unless somebody will fix this issues.

Whilst all of the Winter maps were a refreshing change and interesting for a while, it was obvious why they were just "bonus" or holiday maps, and not included in any major release.

Barentz had the most potential of all the Winter Maps imo, but it still had a lot of issues (gameplay wise, and it seriously battered your framerate). Apart from that, I'm not sure dunem is really active any more.

I've PMed Dunem regarding Barentz. I never played it before, I DLed it today and had a look; you are right web, it had alot of potential. I've PMed him alot of suggestions, two of which are important for FPS.

e.g. the undergrowth distance was set to 400m, when ordinarily it's set to something like 50.

There also a few new statics Dunem can take advantage of.

He has been on the forums this month, so lets wait and see.

that was 2 years ago.

is everyone's computer still as shitty as they were back then? My GTX460 played that on max with a smooth 60FPS, and an equivalent card is less than 100 bucks today.

Barentz should really come back, it had the most potential out of any of the christmas maps in my opinion and I feel could and SHOULD be in the main mod if its issues can be worked out. Hell maybe even soon if its just put in a new mappack after 1.0 or something depending on what can happen with it. Good of you Rudd to inquire about it and I hope Dunem might be able to shed some light on it.

I feel it should be put back in because it was just unique, another Brit vs Militia map and actually was a carrier invasion with someone else besides the USMC, not to mention Conventional vs Unconventional in a unique way which right now the mod is lacking in my personal opinion right now. Also had heavy assets in a big area you name it. I really hope something can be done to include this map in the future.

As far as the other maps go they deserve love too but really didn't seem that unique to other maps in PR asset wise gameplay wise or anything besides they were winter. Maybe when other priorities higher up are worked out they could be considered unless someone else has a more elaborate passion about them.

[ChallengerCC]

Yeah Barentz was a realy cool map and bevore i forget: WANDA SHAN

[tankninja1]

seeing the Christmas map pack again in a regular release of PR would be awesome

[40mmrain]

I quite like the idea of Northern Lights making a return. The german forces are a little bit underutilized, their armoured vehicles are my favourite. The tiger will be fixed for next patch as well.

[Stealthgato]

Barentz has much better gameplay than plenty of maps currently in PR, it's a shame it's not in.

[Bringerof_D]

barentz was the best of the bunch, they were all fun but barentz was the only one that actually felt different instead of just having the usual dirt and grass texture painted white. an optimized barentz would be great for inclusion into the full mod. also replace the sploshy mud sound when walking in snow to the sand sound effect for now. i feel snow sounds much more like sand than it does mud.

[tankninja1]

Barentz and Northern lights really where awesome, with a little tweaking they would make awesome regular PR maps.
