Probably because of the abandoned town and nuclear power plant
I see the Devs were going with a Chernobyl approach with this map, it looks fucking awesome!

Nooo, not the plane!
I can only imagine the problems with it. Were they connected to BF2s collision detection? You could still make people spawn a few meters below the plane as if they had just jumped out of it in that case.

Silent eagle 24/7 servers will be made
The plain removal isn't that bad if you can't see the plane anyway (when on the ground), gameplay on this map will be
awesome though. How's it going with the video?

How do you think could he have played my map before ? It was indeed visible and can be heard from far away but he could've been correct.

Care to explain? I like learning about why certain stuff isn't implemented (no fault on your part though, great map)

It has a bad impact on performance and the map itself is quite performance heavy already anyway.
It is not accessable meaning that it is only an eye-candy in a way, gameplay wont benefit from it in comparison to an invisible spawn.
My plan was to have it on the beginning of the round only, but then it would have to selfdestruct which is weird in a way. However the DEVs want to have a constant para spawn but in order to make it difficult for the defending team (russia) to anticipate the area where the paras are coming down the spawn needs to be random, which will look very weird with a rotating plane ( would hop from one position to another).
If the current method fails, plane will be brought back...so hope that it fails

Makes sense, the plane isn't that important, after all. Maybe on a later release you can add it in, but its low priority. Still... I can see this map being exceptionally dynamic and cool.

Is that to be understood that its a fixed spawn that is randomly moved to somewhere else after some time?
Or is it a mobile spawn that moves around randomly?
Sad about the plane, but i guess you did the best you could. Still really looking forward to the map though

Very nice looking map, finally US vs Russia map. Two world powers collide!
The paratrooper thing is very interesting, looking forward to it. My 3 most looked forward maps are Silent Eagle, Gaza and Beirut.

First of map looks so great. Dark land under gray sky will be a new breath.
Paratrooper idea sounds cool and new though for sure some unexpected problems will occur. For example what if German team goes too bad and can't get any spawn points on the ground. Will Russians sing "Oh its raining man" while their helis or planes hunting paratroops? A possible new version of baseraping? Pararaping
)
So a good hard testing is a must I guess.

I actually looked up the lyrics of that song and in this context they are quite disturbing:
[...]It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean[...]
*cough*
