More maps like Kashan 64

Post by Zerapup »

I mean Kashan is the only map with 4km , great view distance , great armor air and infantry mixed battles. I really like this style of gameplay. It would be great to have one more map like this. We have a lot of urban combat maps , a lot of jungle combat maps. But on Kashan u get the feeling of the Battle of two conventional armies. May be new map could take place also in desert but with more mountain chains and for example instead of Bunkers we can have small town like on Al Basrah , or even small village or factory. Plz post your ideas here 8)

This gets a big no from me, kashan and quinling seems to be quite enough, there isn't that much demand for kashan at the moment anyway.

Oh yeah Qinling , i forgot about it , but really this map doesnt bring the feeling of great Battle , may be because of the hills and u cant have long range tank battles , and besides the size of the map isnt that good for planes like Kashan.

The only epic vehicle map I want to see right now is the long-awaited Wake Island map - the 8 or 16km one someone was working on a year or two ago.

Other than that, PR's mappers should focus on infantry and mechanized infantry at this point, because that's the direction where almost all of the new content has gone.

There are a lot of maps with infantry focus , actually almost all of the maps , it will be cool to have something different.

And i think its impossible to make 8 km map on BF2 engine.

The epic Wake Island map was canceled I do believe.

At Zerapup: Actually, there's no limit to the map size, one of them made a gigantic map with statics as terrain. It just doesn't work quite as well and has latency issues.

Thats because of the way kashan is set up.

I would like to see more similar maps with combined arms.

What do you mean they cant handle ? When both sides work as a team on Kashan, i had the best game experience in PR. Though in most cases after 0.75 , one team sucks and the other team just wins the match in about an hour. But thats the case for the most maps i think.

yes when that happens it is true, but like i said 80%-90% of the games i have on that map public players cant handle the style of play/or amount of assets/size and just suck.

Its set up to be a "PR Hardcore Players Map" where if your team is not working together or coordinating together, you will not have as much fun. Plus it takes a couple hours to finish usually, I guess players can't handle that.

Kashan's fine, just needs playing properly, sucks most of the time, but the odd game where it's done right is awesome.

Yeah there's more then enough, I like arid maps, but ALL desert maps are a bit dull sometimes, stuff like Kashan is cool cos it's a tank and air map, but inf maps in lifeless and generally coverless terrain are a bit boring for me.

Desert theme is not obligatory , it can be steppes and fields with hills for example , the main idea is that the map should be as big as Kashan or even bigger , and it should have wide free space for long range armor and air combat. The emphasis is made on the vehicles , and infantry just supports vehicles. It can be made so that some areas on the map are only accessible by infantry so that you cant win using just vehicles (for example destroyed city in the middle of the map with road blocks) It will be very interesting.

i want NO maps like kashan. kashan has way too many tickets so it takes 2.5 hours unless one team gets raped. the infantry battles play out EXACTLY THE SAME WAY every single game, so playing infantry on the map (which is the only thing i do ingame) is a terrible bore. kashan is the bane of PR, as far as i am concerned. nothing ruins my fun more than seeing that map coming up next. off to find a new server at that point.

if they were to lower the tickets on each side to 200, i would no longer have a problem with the map (the map would still last 1.5-2 hours in a competitive game). the problem is the lack of bleeding until the second to last flags and the insane amounts of downtime. if you're an infantry guy, it's brutally unfun. lower the tickets please, for christ's sake!

<edit> the bunker complex should also be made into one flag in the middle. trying to cover both the bunker flags when there's already not enough infantry to go around is what causes a lot of the problems with the map (besides the tickets), in my opinion.

<3 Kashan, having vehicles makes the difference between PR and maybe a really good realism mod on steam or for CoD4, otherwise it'd just be another realism mod, with some good ideas but essentially another chip off the block of infantry based realism shooters. Kashan is where you go to combine and whilst the role of Infantry is reduced....so what? People who like flying or tanking don't ***** as much as infantry do when told that the focus is going away from what they enjoy most from the game. Support for more combined arms maps, just with a tad more infantry variety.
