Community maps in PR???

Hello, I was just wondering what people and the team thought about adding 1 map from each community mod into Project Reality.

Example:
Strike at Karkand; Israeli Defense Force vs HAMAS
Wouldn't that be an awesome map to be added into Project Reality?

Not saying add a ton of map to Project Reality, just the best map from each Community Mod. Another map that looks great:
Siberian Sunrise; Russian Federation vs Peoples Republic of China
A great map that seems like it would be a great addation to PR.

Plus they if a map is added from each Community mod, it will help to get rid of the repediditiveness that some servers get from the same forces and same maps. Not just getting some new maps, but getting a piece of each community to show people how fun that mod is, and add to the reality that this is World War 3....
USA,Great Britian,Israel,Poland,Australia,Germany,Holland,Canada,Russia
versus
Middle Eastern Coalition,Peoples Republic of China,Insurgents,HAMAS,Militia, and Russia...who plays both sides :wink:

Isnt that the whole point of the maps anyway? Im not sure I get what youre asking...

When the teams are finished they will possibly be added along with their maps...

or do you mean add those maps in and give them teams that already exist? In which case..sure, I guess, but it might be nice to just hang on a bit for the faction they were made for.

Besides, theres tons of new maps lined up that arent tied to faction releases, so Id say we are in no need of maps... imho of course.

Hope I understood correctly...

No, I guess I over complicated what I was trying to say:

add one map from each community mod to Project Reality
(reasons)
-certain maps[like Karkand] would be fun to see in PR
-to show how fun the Community mods are
-to show that this is World War 3, and it isnt just US/GB vs MEC/PLA/Militia(and some Insurgents)
But that this is *whole list I made in my earlier post* and conflicts are happening around the world...not just US in Kashan and GB in Basra, but IDF in Karkand, and Germans is Steel Thunder, and Russians in Siberian Sunrise!

I still dont get it... thats the whole point of these community mods in the first place... once they are done, theres a good chance they will be integrated[in some way] into PR.

Youre wanting just one map from each faction, along with the finished faction. Right? Well, most of the factions arent done yet. So we cant simply just add them in. And once they are done, the DEVs will think of the best way to include them.

I guess I still dont see what you're asking[or how its different from what will eventually be done]

Maybe this will help me understand: What did you think would be done with the community mods?

Okay, the thing i thought would be done is: they would be completley seperate from PR and thats it(as in different downloads and no maps from PR or Community mods are shared)
The other thing, what I was saying is 1 map from each mod be put in Project Reality.(for the reasons I stated)

But if they are going to be integrated somehow then depending how, nevermind what I am suggesting.
Example of integration:
adding(when done) Karkand(with IDF and HAMAS) into Project Reality
that is what I am suggesting, but if you are going to integrate them somehow then nevermind.

If the community factions get added, so will their maps. If they don't, and the maps are still up to scratch, it'll be the decision of the DEVs whether to use them or not. As far as I can see, that's all there is to it. Your suggestion is already being implemented, so I'll be locking this. :wink:
