Nice, love the retro map pack, wish more people had it since could play it

Looks nice, now that we have muttrah v1 and muttrah v2 we just need op candy bay.

There was a map pack that was released that was old maps from BF2. I wasn't sure if this was part of that or not, but..... Is there anyway we could some air assets on those maps like they used to have in BF2? Even if they are not the original ones, I think they would become pretty popular if they did that.

Regarding the install. If we have the old map pack do we need to remove anything or just overwrite all?

@Pharoah I think Zatar wetlands was one and has most of the toys.

Installer should overwrite just fine.

please add Fallujah from PR .89 to this retro pack. whichever the latest fallujah version with US main inside the city

Hey. Just what I was looking for for getting some serious reality here. Really appreciate these coop map packs

Can we get these added to the base game installer instead of manual form links? A lot of these maps would be great to have in play in between ye olde standard 4km asset maps.

You made a really nice installer and updated for use with the game, so why not use it? Most people are not going to come to the forums, locate the correct post, download a zip and then install manually. We can bemoan laziness all we want, but that's the truth of it.

Hard drive space and bandwidth are cheap! More map variety is a winner for everyone.

Also - please consider bringing back "Greasy Mullet" and "Airport" -- the latter would make an awesome seeder map.

Both in previous pack.

How did I miss that! Thank you.

Those maps are already in and still in, this is full install update to the previously released map pack.

It should be added to the launcher like FH2 does so its more visible and easier to dl for the community. Would like to run some of the maps but always lose too many players.

IT should be part of the main game

Outlawz - what I mean is, as was noted here by ArkUTD and Rico, why not add it into the core installer app? (ie, The auto-update PR Launcher app ) This would "force" the maps to download for the entire community and give us a broader map base to play from?

I know for a fact that these would get a ton of airtime if they were included as part of a push update.

I'm aware, we're discussing it internally.

That's awesome, I really hope it gets pushed through and into the launcher. I bet you'll get a big pop of activity and people coming back to check it out, at the very least. Good all around.

If it does get added i dont expect them to be played much anyway, but it would make hosting events on such maps much more accessible to the community and make it easier on players, because players are lazy, its why RMP didnt really take off when it first came out, the most PRTA got when running the maps was 70 players playing Gulf of Oman (a few weeks after the release)

Making it a force download like Falklands and let players themselves make there minds up on what maps they like or dont.

My opinion

Just love a lot of these maps

F*ckin' A guys! (nardz, ArkUTD)

I never would have thought to ask.

Will be wonderful indeed if it's at least in the Launcher... I really loved those Retro maps, HOG played them for a week or two (hmmm... maybe less than two), but for whatever idiotic reasons, the player base could not get its sh*t together and dload those ridiculously-easy-to-download-and-install maps. WTF???

Hopefully we will be playing a wider variety of maps soon!
