Whatever happened to Jabal 2?

[Sgt. Mahi]

Sorry for posting this but I couldn't hold my curiosity any longer. I have searched and searched but all traces about Jabal 2 seem to have disappeared. So now I'm just gonna ask straight out: Where is it?

I remember playing the 4km^2 version in like 0.87 maybe? Back then it almost seemed to be close to done. Can we expect this map to show up in a future release or has it been scrapped? If it has been dropped it would be very sad indeed.

My guess is its been moved to the top secret DEV hanger for further preparation

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Or the top secret DEV wheelie bin for non terminated projects?

It's a conspiracy

[Arc_Shielder]

It's going to be released in the next version, as well as 8km Asad Khal.

Hey thats my line!

It's going to be released in the next version, as well as 8km Asad Khal.

Stop trolling, thats my thing also.


I dont think its ever going to be back. They just uptated the "other" jabal.

[Arnoldio]

[Wicca]

All maps in PR should be 4k

You won't get any performance issues in local generally, you're computer isn't constantly scanning with punkbuster, you aren't rendering 63+ other players.

there arent smoke grenades going off everywhere etc etc.

Kashan is probably the only map ingame that couldhave its VD increased without huge problems, however creating inconsistent gameplay isn't really a good idea imo.

On maps like Muttrah, Dragonfly, Iron Ridge etc you'll also be rendering alot of enterables/trees. This will destroy your FPS.

The only map ingame that has an unacceptable VD is Jabal, but its like that because we'd need to move the carrier further out to sea, and we don't have the original lightmap files. Wait on Jabal 4k.

The fate of Jabal 2 is yet to be determined but it doesn't look good. The original mapper is no longer working on it and the remaining mappers are too busy to pick up where he left off because we're trying to get a bunch of other maps done.

But the good news is that they'll be some BRAND NEW maps instead of v2 of existing maps.

OMG the epic map of epic awesomeness, remember all the funtimes on the TG event when testing the map....*memories*

Thank you Soccer

Love to hear that new maps are coming in but I was so much hoping that this map would make it.. Oh well. Hope someone will pick it up eventually...

Current Jabal is one of the only good maps left in PR. i'ed prefer it if nobody changed my favorite map. yes, change the assets periodically, but look at the malfunctioning dam as a parody of what western countries think middle eastern countries are capable of, while quietly ignoring the ironic stupidity of the original mapper (DEV disrespect ftw) ...not to mention the incredible splendor of Dubai.

And just because Rhino is an epic mapping hermet master, who got mutrah v2 right the first time. doesnt mean that somebody is going to get the accidental balance of jabal on v2. the whole reason jabal is good is because its deceptivly large in its smallness without being irritating to travel accross. It also has hairpinning supply lines that allow air assets to attack easily, but at the same time give lots of positions for MEC FOBs to be made. its wonderful. anybody who changes and wrecks this map will most likely have an Irish axe murderer to contend with.
