The Map

DarkTalon · Post by **DarkTalon** » 2007-04-30 03:57

This is just a little realism suggestion, has some gameplay effect, but not much.
I think the map should be, well... a map. like the one you would be looking at if you were in a battle, most soldiers would be looking at a roadmap, not a satellite image, the commanders maybe, but the soldier would be looking at a regular old map. this also makes the insurgents more realistic,(unless the insurgents have google earth

) this might take a good photoshop artist a few hours. but now onto the gameplay effect, maybe some maps' map would be outdated, and not have some buildings/bridges where they actually are. but i would really suggest limiting this so the first-timers actually know where they are. I think this was in quite a few 1942 mods (EOD is one).

This is somewhere around the 5th time this has been suggested.

I didn't see it in the already suggested suggestions thread, the mods can close this thread if they see fit, until then, discuss.

I think, an O/S map of the area is a good idea, showing contours etc. instead of grid E3. use 6-8 fig grid references.

More detailed grid is also welcome...at least have it like this:

--E--1--2--3--4--5--F--

So we can tell a more accurate position inside a grid...
In Al Basrah, E6 grid has a lot of places, where insurgent spawn/jihad cars could be...if youre too lazy to remember, thats the Facility area...

The "Already Suggested Suggestions" is not your final destination.

It's a quick reference guide/search.

If you can't find it, use the proper search, or you could contact me.

I know I'm no, as they call here "MOD", but I think it's something the community can benefit from.
