It's not like you have to have a map set in the heart of Manhattan; you can still have an American setting and have the map somewhere out in the backcountry of Iowa, Minnesota or any of the rest of the ~90% of the country that is NOT part of a major city..
True, but I mean, we already have tons of maps set in the desert or rural areas.
I would think the fun of having a Western map would be setting it in a major metropolitan center, which there are plenty of in the US and Europe.
I mean, if you're going to have a rural map, why not just set it in asia?
It would be far more realistic anyway....
But what could be nice, as someone previously suggested, is a battlefield along a highway interchange, similar to Operation Road Rage in BF2 vanilla.
The United States has an excellent interstate highway system which any invading force would have to control in order to access the major cities.
Or perhaps a map set in the rural United States at a USAF base, which Opfor units are trying to capture.
Perhaps US Army forces are brought in to defend the airbase, and that's how the battle starts, something like that.
But a map just set amongst some rolling hills or a forest wouldn't be very interesting just because it's in the US; we would have to expand on some of the unique aspects of the geography and urbanization of the country.
