[Map-wip] Fallujah minimap update

Post by **duckhunt** » 2007-12-27 04:45

Most of the buildings are down now, so you can get a feel for the layout of the battlefield. Hopefully this will be a citymap that is not just karkand spam, lots of thought has gone into the spacing and how it will play out. The next main phase is the detail of getting it looking like a real messed up place!

Nice, I love your map, really accurate !

What's that shadowy square in the middle of the fields west of the city ?

Can you grab an ariel pic of Fallujah for comparison? I was under the impression most maps were just random and named after somewhere.

Afaik The maps just take the general feel of a place and try to imitate it as best as possible, after all we can't support the real size of these places on BF2

updated first post with google earth reference. Not exact copy but layout is near enough

I'm proud of myself, I found the location of your map in 10 minutes

You really had me with the reflexion for a while, I was sure it was a rotation so it toke me lots of time to find it

Anyway, what's that square ? I can't see in on Googlemap so I'm guessing it's some kind of VCP ?

Dam you duckhunt!!! I just spent the past hour scouring google earth for that location.

I was looking for ages for a spot with those features, that style of camera, and the green + river runnig northwest... I then look with more detail and discover the google photo has been twizzled and flipped

Thats evil... pure evil

Love the fact its an actual real rendition of north fallujah

awesomeness

The more I look at this minimap the more I'm drooling and my imagination is getting out of control

Now please tell me that extraction will make a comeback... this map look perfect for it. I can already see myself driving an SUV from the building to the south (the one that look like a palace surrounded by walls) to the mosque then go to that weird VCP like shadow... :d rool:

Looks like there will be some intense CQB going on here.

Looks great. Insurgency mode I suppose. Is the US base going to be built in that field in the shadowy area?
