Just to clear things up, I'm not talking about the actual amount of maps for each side but rather the amount that are regularly played, I haven't played Quin Ling in about a month and everyone seems to leave when Fool's Road comes on. Of course this isn't something the devs can really address, I was simply wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing.

could be just down to the time of day your playing?

I would love to see the Militia in more, only 1 map in right now, maybe two but their VERY fun to play, sorry if I am thread jacking lol

Quinling isn't played because it empties servers, period.

I think its a great map, but it just isn't well liked for several reasons. e.g. some people get lag, the view distance is so obvious, the NW corner is a waste of trees. But I've had my best tanking experiences on it.

I would suggest that the mapper's skillz have increased significantly since the release of 0.7, so several of the new non-british maps feel so much better and thus are played more.

Also, the favoured marine assualt maps simply cannot be british yet as a British carrier has not been modelled nor the naval varients of british aircraft been skinned etc.

I have a map in the planing stage the will be British. They arent going anywhere

Would it be such a tragedy to have the Essex as a stand in for the Brit carrier?

I love Brit maps, just love 'em. Never has a 2k map felt bigger than Fool's.

There used to be one, but the problem was it was always 0/64 players

Fools Road is by Brits, For Brits to always be Brit. Ruskies can go get their own but I like my British Fools Road!

Ruskies for the win.

like has been previously said, i think the brits definitly have had their time in the sun in earlier releases. i remember threads like this popping up complaining about the lack of US maps. .6 started a wave of british maps, .7 kinda continued it with qinling, and .8 was definitly a US oriented release. also depening on your location and the servers you play on has alot to do with it. myself, i have not played a milita map since probably .7 why? none of my local servers play them. same for qinling. but further up on the server list, i see those maps, and i woudl play them except my ping would be too high. however people in those areas probably play them all the time. so it has alot to do with what maps are run on the servers and not just the amount of british maps.

Fools stay Brit or I will go postal.

Damn straight, I welcome the change if it's ever made. Brits (and all westerners for that matter) out of Caucasus!

What I reckon we do need though, is a UK vs. PLA urban map.

The complete opposite for me. Slava Rassi! NATO fighting Caucasus militias?! Hmpf, even more stupid than US fighting China!

And I'm glad that my own country is not represented in PR - that way I can enjoy all armies just as much. All you poor patriots, always feeling that you're own armies are being overshadowed. First US players complaining about that there's too many British maps, now British players complaining about that the Brit maps aren't played as often. Seriously...

In my own little PR world, I like to imagine that China got a bit big for it's boots and decided to expand during a massive economic recession in the west. After invading countries surrounding it like Japan, Taiwan, S.Korea (with the help of the N.Korea), the Phillippines and Thailand (possibly with the help of some of it's more socialist neighbours), the west has come to the pacific to fight back against the Sino aggression. I know this is a bit out there, but so's the whole concept of the MEC or the US/UK in China in the first place

However the UK embarking on a mission to Georgia, to rid the country of Russian arms dealers seems a just little bit too over the top for my liking (maybe the UK are looking to start WW3? ). I'd only like to see the UK in that part of the world if they were fighting Russia proper, as part of a NATO invasion or retaliation (again still quite out there).

keeping it to the Yugoslavia type area might have been better

I'd much prefer British desert maps anyways

Nice, scenario. But those two countries would never go to war with each other because they earn so much on keeping their relations as it is right now. Cheap Chinese products floods the Western market and our western way of life is pretty much dependant on cheap Chinese products (had serious problems finding anything in my flat that hasn't got a "MADE IN CHINA"-stamp on it). Not to mention that China is such a HUGE market for western companies. You sell your product to 1-2 % of the Chinese population, and that's still more people than the whole population of some European countries!

And don't come and say that large corporations don't have any political power in the capitalist west...

Still, PR is about realistic gameplay - not realistic scenarios. I love that the PLA is included and that the combat isn't limited to battles in dusty Afghan mountains or Iraqi cities.

Now that's not a bad idea, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to find someone in the community to do some Serbo-Croat voice acting either. I don't think anything would really need changing other than that. Good suggestion

LOL, I know that's why I said my idea was pretty far out there. Still, I had to try and think of something in my tiny little mind

Even then, there's no explaining what the United Kingdom is doing on Russia's doorstep. Besides, converting one of the Militia maps for the Russian faction seems like the best way to get the faction into the game, regardless of any new Russian maps that might be released with it.

Jedimushroom wrote:So what do you guys think? Is this a serious problem or isn't it? Or are the British faction just not fun to play?

its not a serious problem its not problam at all.
USMC just fun and cool to play . brits just not fun and uncool.
that it becouse usmc got nice looking eqip and uniforms and most of people see usmc on news and connect beter to them.

i will love to see all maps with usmc
but this is just me
