UPDATE to PR v0.856

As far as we know the mappers haven't used real locations for each map. Nevertheless one can try to assign the maps to "real-life" landscapes and areas.

Take a closer look at the areas in Google Map by clicking on the map-picture above.

Heheh, thats pretty cool. Nice work

Very Cool, and most PR maps are real places as this shows. Someone else did the same thing and really showed the maps and bases one some maps.

Maps will be coming down the line with real areas as the template


Good job with the map ! You get a sticky

I recall a dev posting reference pics of Muttrah, as it was a real city, and modeled to the T.

Not sure what city though

Probably..............muttrah?

lol.

not sure if i understood you, but that was a little funny. Muttrah i a real place, and so the reference pics for muttrah i game were probably from muttrah

Yeah... but no MEC in the refs

Sometimes I wonder what the residents of Muttrah think about us fighting in their city

One guy who use to live there have commented and said the map is very nice, but they where over at Game-Artist.net hehe.

I exspect they probaly know if they did any google searches, you come up with loads of stuff on muttrah, I mean a bunch of the stuff on the first page is WIP pics of muttrah 2 hehe.

muttrah - Google Image Search

Fear thats cool, I did notice this myself a while for a few maps. Recently someone complained about road to Kyonygni but we found the real location there from the korean war. I believe the same mapper based his other map hils of h on a korean battle also


Ages ago I looked up Muttrah and noticed they were pretty strong allies of Nato, one of the launch pads for initial Afghanistan operations, armed forces links to Britain and fly old RAF jet models, etc Basically MEC would be invaders there much like the first gulf war

I think its great the PR mosque model is right there by the real picture, shows a real likeness

Last 6 seconds of this video is a quick zoom in from outer space using google maps in Al Kufrah Oilfields, Libya which does look similar imo though more of a compact refinery:

YouTube - Al Kufrah Oilfields, Libya___________Project Reality



I never thought EJOD could be a real place, dam and Operation Archer is a real mission afaik, not sure about the terrain it would be hard to place I should think

Operation Pheonix also shows up, probably others too though I have not looked for any other actual likenesses



Also if you do record a video of a particular map and upload it to youtube, because they are part of google you can specify the location on the statistics tab on the same screen and zoom in from there

Kashan is also a city, Kashan desert IRL is Maranjab desert, that's over in Iran.

[start non serious mode] Could we have a Night-Las Vegas mode for Muttrah like this? PLEASE... [stop non serious mode]

Only 3 of the China maps are actually in China?
Especially considering Sunset City's map description, I'd think it would be somewhere in China itself.

Thats globalisation for you. Its quite reasonable to have major powers fighting in foreign countries, many wars have been fought with the backing of the superpowers in an indirect cold war

Except this is a direct hot war. And I thought the US was invading China (they were in BF2).
