Dirt bike race map

blud · Post by **blud** » 2007-08-02 04:25

I know this is silly, and probably similarly suggested before, but what about a map with a big (fairly smooth) track going throughout it, with 25 dirt bikes for each team that respawn quickly.

Each team would start on opposite ends of the circuit.

The map would have something like 100 tickets so that it would be over in 5 or 10 minutes.

Just a wacky map to play in between serious 4 hour maps... lol

You're right. It is silly.

Do you really want the devs to waste time on this? You could do your own map or even a racing mod!

But it's realistic! I saw a video clip of soldiers racing dirt bikes in Iraq on teh Interwebz!

It would have to be absolutly smooth, not fairly smooth, in order for a bike to survive more than 1 lap.

It wouldn't be that funny, since BF2 engine sucks for driving.

can you get 2 up on the dirt/quad bike? if so i reckon a couple of m203s in the map would be fun.No .22 ammo tho as this would suck.Then we could also have blast em ups whilst racing.

(i know its silly)

TBH....the specops light buggys run the best as they have good suspension and can take some damage...

with guns blazing though i dont know if it would last too long...the bikes really suck though...they just blow up...quads can take a bit of a beating but not too much..

i usually just make sure i have my engineer kit and get out and repair when necessary..like a pit stop...

could be alot of fun with 5-6 buggys on the track... track takes just a few minutes to go around but has bridges..obstacles..fire..cars...jumps etc just to make your life hell..

I think your suggestion has some merit, bludshot. It would be nice to have a 5 minute *destressor* map between games...

Well at least think it would be.... good suggestion, I wonder if a server would pick this idea up, create a map pack, and put it into the rotation...

If you did such a map, that should be fun

I just don't want official energy and time put into this

But I'll put it on out server

I "thinks" that it is a great opportunity for new mappers! anyone up for the challenge...? a small 512m map would do! If someone makes it, I would definately DL it and have a laugh or two with you all!!!!

Is it possible to make it like aas? Except when the flag is capped it stays capped by the team that was there first. The flags would need a lot shorter cap time. Also the map would need barriers or perhaps water so no one takes shortcuts. Anyway sounds like a good idea.

i played a race map on vBF2 was rather funny support on the gun me as a medic driving and a engineer and spec ops in the back dropping mines and C4 blowing the other cars up then we had loads of AT guys at the side of the road trying to blow us up as well good times.

Yes. Yes I do.

Nah, I don't know, maybe a 3rd party person might do something like this.
