PR Map RIP Thread
Posted: 2013-09-18 06:59
Hi all,
Thought I'd make a thread to honour the memory of the maps that have come and gone over the years, whether they're personal favourites or not. Maybe someone will stumble in and explain difficulties with their design, and why they were removed?
I remember two maps quite fondly, as the UK v PLA:
Can't remember its name. UK started in the top left, and China in a fortress in the top right - it was a bugger to penetrate. A very forest-y map with a dry ravine running through the middle of the map with a fortress in the middle, and there was a small set of buildings in the bottom left where PLA used to ambush the Brits coming out of main.
Used to be a staple of the [T&T] server back in 2007 and was where I kept bumping into Sadist_cain and Commando101 who eventually recruited me.
Secondly:
Can't remember its name either, but the UK started in bottom left and PLA in the top right. It was a fairly flat semi-foresty map with some hillocks along the south, a lake in the middle with a road running all the way around it, and a settlement along the left hand side. It was one of the first PR maps I played when I first looked at PR in 0.5 I think it might have been? I remember loving the rally point idea on this map, and it was one of the only maps that felt like it took place in a 'real' living place - it was very serene!
I also recall a Brit v Militia map that was similar to Dragon Fly, but the 'city' area was a massive oil platform. That was in 0.98; what's happened to it?
Fond memories of the winter map that was released in December 2008 I think it was?
I remember an awful map with MEC on it where they started in the top left and had BMP-2s and tanks, on a desert with lots of oil rigs and pipelines.
Please jog my memory of other PR maps that have since passed away!
