looks pretty good mate, i just want to know,why is it being restricted to the PSC faction only, almost all the other bluefor factions have some kind of presance in that general area, so is there a possibility some of the other factions may be able to use a version of this map as well?. it would probably make this one of the most popular maps around, it looks like it would be good for both a insurgency style against multible bluefore (US,UK, ADF{the old australian secdet i think was near the uni} not forgeting the PSC faction this map is being designed for) and a MEC opfor attack on Bluefor elements holed up in the city.
just a thought, not a critic.

but yeah i am really impressed with this the time and care looks like its really paid off. i like some of the creative way you have used some statics.

The bf2 engine does not allow more than 2 factions on a map at any one time. If we were to have several version of the map with different inits and gpo's (which i assume is what your proposing?) then that would take up a considerable amount of build space for what is in fact very little gain :p People will easily get bored with 3 or 4 version of one map. Which would probably take up around 300mb all up.

the devs found a way to have more Inits ;) in 0.9 there is a Init for Sp and one for VW too
so it seems to be possible but if you ask me its unnecesarry

You can't have different factions in either of those inits though. Try it ;) It doesnt work

Good looking map, but I think you should apply a darker light aspect ! The map looks too bright for me ! (only for me !) Does PR library propose some sandy skies ? It would be great for this map :) (as we saw when playing the map opposing MEC to USMC in the sand storm... but less foggy !)

oh gee ya think?

are you kidding? 300mb?
this is opposed to the 12 months or more of time it takes to create a map? what are you afraid of DLing a few extra gig or something.. take a hard look at the number of factions with only a few maps, think a little creatively and try and put yourself in their position. let the players be the judge of what they get bored of, think asymmetrically just because a map is set up initially as a insurgency map, whats to say you cant have a tank battle there the next day. do you see where i am coming from?

If the devs fix NVG then ill happilly make a night version of the map for the us army, then the minig facility will be put to some good use ;)

the NVG could hardly be fixed, the problem is how the BF2 engine handles the lightning and that can't be changed
