Something I thought I'd share with you all. These are some of my pics from when I was in Afghanistan. I have more if the Devs want a better idea of what the place looks like.

These were all take from 2004-05 in the Zabul province near and far away from the city of Qalat. I was based at FOB Lagman. Enjoy.

Lovin' the pimped-out fuel (or whatever) truck

they're called "Jingle Trucks" and they were pretty common. Be badass if the Dev's made that into the car bomb!

I knew PR should have included a donkey!

Who needs tanks and hmmvs when your got donkeys.

nice pictures mate, and yes the pimp out truck is great

But I dont like the dirty snowman. For God sake use clean snow

On a more serious point: i would love to see a lot more afgan maps in PR. Its great terrain for good maps.

id like to see an afghan map with snow in it.... its a nice change from the desert and jungle.

hahahaha sector sketches are for n00bs.

Please do, I'm always on the lookout for ref pics of any rural middle-eastern locations. I did those destroyable village models in 0.6 & want to extend them to include some biggger houses soon, so could use all the inspiration i can find...



Love your photos btw, & if you've got any more pervy ones of Japanese schoolgirls post those too

Sweet! Nice looking map. can't wait for .7 now xD

Thanks guys, I'm glad you liked them. As far as pervy pics of Japanese school girls, Roger Doger!

Meanwhile keeps hand busy looking through these:

BTW very nice work on the map.

Beautiful photos!

I like the house with the /\ roof

cheers guys & it's not a new map- was just a style-guide for mappers using those statics, though i hope to make a map or two for 0.7.

those photos are brilliant, i think pr needs to do a snowy afghan map now. btw i don't suppose you've got any portraits lying around that could help in making a texture like this-



it's for some new character models, & i'm having a hard time finding usable photo source for a bearded man (ie. diffuse lighting, straight angles)...

question for ya leggystarlitz , when it snowed did u carry on wearing desert uniform ?

Yeah, even if we had bothered ordering them by the time they would have gotten there it would have been spring.

I'll see what I can find for a usable face. I got photoshop CS2 so I might be able to make it work to your specs.

be great if you can find some photos, but you don't need to edit them, i can do that. highres source is all i'm after
