As most of you will know [R-DEV]Dr Rank been working on the Map "Sangin" for a over a year now. It has now come to a point where we need to play test the map to see how it plays, and see what changes need to be made to the map's layout, where caches are put and what changes need to be made to the game modes etc. However due to the sheer size of this map, and its number of statics, vegetation etc, we need to do a server test, with as many people as possible, to prove the gameplay of it. It is important at this stage of the map development to get it on the right track so things don't need to be reworked in the later stages. Normally we would use our official testers for this but due to the map's sheer size and unique gameplay we can not do a thorough test without more players on the server.
As such, we are planning One weekend of Open Beta testing for this map. We need as many people as possible over the weekend Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th.
The Test map will be released some time next week as soon as we have fully tested it to ensure there are no major bugs with the map, also to give everyone time to download and install the map correctly, prior to the above dates. There will be only one Test Server which will be running throughout the weekend but after that it will go off line. We request no other servers put this map into their rotation. Any servers attempting to run the map will have its server license removed, we only require one server to test this map thank you. Having multiple servers online will only spread the players out and not aid in testing. Remember this is for our benefit to weed out any gameplay flaws and bugs in the map, to ensure you receive a high quality product
We would also like to point out that this map is very much WIP (Work in Progress) and that this is no way indicates that the map is almost finished as you will see when you are playing the map.
It will still be some time yet until the map is finalised and fully released.
If you are interested in taking part in this open beta testing please keep your eye on the front page for more information, the download link and installation instructions which will follow in due course.
Thank you for your time,
-The Project Reality Team
