you can release that as a custom map by all measn, i could make it in 1hr flat... but it would never become a offical PR map i can tell you that.'[R-CON wrote:DJJ-Terror']there was an idea for AIR only map, working title TOP GUN...
Dev's turned it down couse its setting seamed unreal, but with minor tweaks, both sides will be happy!
...stay tuned...
if you really want a chopper fight map you can download this one....causticbeat wrote:DJ terror... you should organize a heli-dog fight tourney... here are a few easy steps
1. Take Jabal and take out all vehicles/flags/spawns
2. add a shitload of gun-littlebirds and MEC light attack choppers
3. add a shitload of AA guns
4. make post in community; helicopter dogfight for bragging rights... set a time and date and get everyone to download the map
5. have a great time dogfighting

I can see flags on that map - bad idea. It should be which ever side knocks out the most (unmarked so they have to be visually identified) enemy assets by bombing who wins in a map with 2 carriers vs an enemy airfield. So the US F18s need to first take down coastal defences and strategic targets and then attack AAM sites protecting the airfield (entrenched tunguskas?) with the OPFOR on defence in a Fallujah style gameplay - a lost asset is lost for the duration of the map. It should be very very difficult to approach either the airfield or carriers with teamwork required to overwhelm the AA defences.'[R-CON wrote:DJJ-Terror']Main trouble behind that attitude of yours is that you dont have all aspects of general idea in head as i do.
You can beat that i wont release it if i dont have it fully working in a way that it shud work and if i manage to work it as i want, it will be a blast, believe me!
untill that stay in peace.... chill dude!
'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino']A 100% air map is out of the question IMO.
belive it or not, I use to be a very big jet whore in BF2 (very, very big jet whore). put it this way, i was so much of a jet whore thous days I kicked ppl from the server who got to the plane i wanted before I did (yes i was a vinninal smack tard back then in that respects).
So I love to fly and dont think im one of thous guys who dose not.
How ever, I still fell that a 100% air map is still out of the question for the following reasons, some have been stated above.
1. all the players do not want to fly, alot like tanks, and other vehicles and would most likley leave the server if the map came on. we need to try and think about all the players that play this mod.
2. Air power is really there in the first place (even in real life) to support the ground troops. Air Power alone will not win a battle, but it can play a huge part if used in the right way to help win the battle and can change the out come of the battle, but on its onw it will never win a battle.
3. BF2 / PR is not a flight sim, never has been and never will be. We can do alot of improvmant on the planes but we will never get them really up to scratch to real life jets. Also the maps in BF2/PR size wise are limmited to what we can do, so really big and good air combat is not all that possible realisticly.
Thous are the main points I can think of.
How ever. I do fell that Combined arms maps, where air power provides a very big effect on the battlefiled is something we need more of and to let you guys know, we are working on it
FUN! And yes terror i know what you are trying to do with this map with make it scenario mode and all but I've already exsplained this to you all before...'[R-CON wrote:DJJ-Terror']well, if you dont like to fly, maybe you can sit behind AA gun?
