Portland Island

At the Total Battlefield 2 Forum, some person released a custom map named Portland Island. It’s an urban map, and personally, I think it’s really good. Perhaps the devs could find this map interesting to add to PR?

The original thread at TBF2 is here: [Release] Portland Island for Battlefield 2 - Total Gaming Network

Some pics of the map:

Adapting a GTA map to PR? It does look like a cool map, but too vanilla BF2 I think.

I don't think that is a map that the pr team is looking for

ummm its a city, on a tiny island, with the carrier parked right at the dock? thats just screams reality to me.

The map can be changed to make it more "realistic", like removing the airfield and the carrier, and perhaps most of the water, but the overall city look is very good, at least to me.

...and it does not have to be strickly a MEC V USMC map, it could be something else.

You can't be serious. This doesn't fit PR at all it really reminds me of San Andreas. It sure is a nice looking map and pretty artistic too but there is no realism factor. From what I can see he used ME and Asian statics in the same town.

The map it's self looks nice but I don't think it would fit for PR

Lol, I live in Portland OR. We do have some island-esk places with industrial stuff on them near the Columbia River. Maybe thats what he was thinking of but I don't see any rain or hippies in the pics :/

It's Portland Island from Grand Theft Auto 3. He used Asian statics because Chinatown is one of the neighborhoods. Wouldn't be realistic- the airport was on Staunton Island.

I like the concept of a docked aircraft carrier, perhaps we could have a scenario where the mec has to seize a Persian gulf port where an aircraft carrier has docked after falling victim to sabotage.

A new map is necessary, couse its very vanilla, a new map with this concept it PR stile then ?
