The ugly jungle

No offense, but the map "Jungle Fever" is boring and very ugly at this time with the LOD Settings. In my opinion, they need a complete rework.

I don't think it should be on the rotation.

I have a fairly decent machine, and i can never get a decent FPS.

It doesn't even look like a jungle.

Its a very tacky, bad quility map and should have never gone in PR. But some Players seem to like this map is the reason it went in

If it was my desision this map would not be in PR along with oasis and would have put the good quility stock maps like stalemate back in

I say we burn it at the stake.

I take some screenies, to show you what i mean. The LOD switch Distance is to low (LOD = level of detail)

here can you see the ugly bamboo...

here can you see the trees before the LOD switch distance

here can you see the trees after the LOD switch distance, only 5 steps later...

The idea behind the LOD Feature is, switch things to a low poly version before the player it realy can see, to bringt him performance...

with boring i mean, i dont know how some poeple get a "jungle feeling" on this map, the overgrowth is to emerged, the gras brings realy a "hidden" feeling.

i know, jungle fever is one of the early map from the BF2 comunity, thats the reason they need a complete rework...

when i (i mean me) bring out a "high standard" product, i never will bring it up with a map like jungle fever.

Hey Xtrm2k, how do I change the LOD switch distance?

xtrm2k · Post by **xtrm2k** » 2006-05-16 10:33

Enter a greater ViewDistance in the overgrowth settings.

here is a second screenie from the fist ugly bamboo, more or less the same position.... but better look, i use a viewdistance 500 for this shot...

here is the old ugly version, too, open booth and switch between the pics

(view distance 160)

Awsome, I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah... I mean, the whole prospect of jungle warfare is amazingly cool. But I have a deepened sense of regret in the jungle because
A) I can see my enemy, but never hit them
B) I can get close to my enemy, but lag up like hell to make it impossible for anything to hit

That map rocks, don't know what your talking about, I love the jungle fights, it feels so realistic

Please don't take it away, If the server host decides to pick it out of rotation, its fine for me, but please let it be ingame

I pretty much like fighting on this map, maybe the bases are too close,but brings intense fighting, I played as sniper and the enemy wont spot on you.

things I don't like.

everything looks shiny green, like farcry. I like clear day time jungle but, maybe bring little fog on the distance.
I will prefer tone down the light so the trees look more realistic

the seaweeds sucks pretty much, there are everywhere, take them out.

the map shoud be much bigger, like in some bfv maps

and some trees looks crooked should be place vertically.

The worst part is when my opponent goes prone and sneaks around and I know he's there, but I don't have my shotgun to do anything about it =(

dunkellic · Post by **dunkellic** » 2006-05-16 19:19

on this map ak´s are also somewhat of an advantage, because you can spray an´pray on full auto with them

I think the map is pretty awesome.

Malik · Post by **Malik** » 2006-05-16 20:13

This map would be better with better undergrowth (one that doesn't sway and rape my FPS) and fog. A darker feel would be well received. I love the jungle area around the middle of Songhua Stalemate. It's foggy, swampy, dark, but proning won't win you a duel. The villages look real and it feels like a jungle. If the map was more like that, I'd love it more and might hit Page Up when it's voted for every 5 damn seconds.
