STATICS!!!

Pence · Post by **Pence** » 2006-04-16 18:14

Six7 reminded me by saying that the oil wells from EF should be in PR that we should have some PR statics.
Little things that make the mod's maps stand out are great, people relate to that 'never-before-seen' fridge or even things much bigger.

I am not up for pushing the Dev's (There work is top-hill): But some statics could be valuble to tell the mod's story.

My proposed static's are:
Aircraft carrier/Helicopter Carrier's for the new faction (Invincible class).
Support ships like Type 23 frigate/Type 42 destroyer/Albion-class (Complete with AA defence).

I would like the idea of a small ship (frigate or destroyer) static, from which say, only one blackhawk/little bird coud fly off.

Also, don't forget the static Submarine from the expantion set.

This would enable seaside insertion maps with only a small amount of people, without having to use the ridiculously large carrier.

do buildings count? if so, then definatly an armoury so we can get our brand spankin new javolins

a realistic looking downed blackhawk (in case we get some BHD action going on)

more foliage variety

more potmarcked cars and trucks

more realistic destroyed military vehicles to make destroyed convoys

ill think of more later!

You guys played AA right? How about some one to two story adobe houses like the ones in the map "border" from America's Army.

Bombed out statics would be nice to have.

would it be feasible to have a bombed out urban locale??? the above static would fit i think...

Some destroyed T-72's etc.

if your going to make your own statics you could add in easter eggs like posters and billboards submitted by users

That is the new British Type 45, it would have to have alot of anti aircraft placements on it. I was thinking about eather this or somethink like the Albion class (2 helicopters), The Invincable class (HMS Ocean Helicopter carrier/HMS Invincable and Ark Royal Aircraft carriers) and if PR wants to push it; the new CVF aircraft carriers.

The one thing I did like about the SF expantion pack, was the interior fighting. If we have a few statics, which are modeled with the interior (like the palace, for instance) we could have a few smaller, infantry heavy maps, which are largely fought inside, rather than outside.

I think that's a great Idea. Use them as a spawn like the Sub on that one SF map. It's just the SuperStructure of a sub with 4 boats and two AT turrets. Nice touch to be honest.

I wish there was a place were you could request statics.

I would like to see the Devs team-up to make some rerly cool 'looking' maps. We would all love to see the official maps.

six7 · Post by **six7** » 2006-04-21 00:05

i really really wish we could use some of the statics from the SF expansion pack. The US carrier was pretty cool (a few flaws in the layout, but better than making one from scratch!)

Since BF2 is slightly in the future it would have to be the new CVF carriers.

Having said that, I was born and raised in Portsmouth, and i'd LOVE to see Ark Royal, Invince or the Illustrious in-game because they are such totally familiar sights from my childhood. Gotta love them ski-jumps.

Post by **AiRfOrCe** » 2006-04-21 01:01

Just realize guys that we can't take ANY assets from BF2:SF or any other expansion sets for that matter, because it would be in violation of the EULA and we could be in big doodoo.

Any statics we need will have to be made - and at the moment we are QUITE busy with things on the critical list for all these releases (as many of you have picked up on).

We will, of course, try to get you the best experience that you can get. We plan to have some new statics involved in accomplishing that.

we really do need more just static houses, props, rocks, trees, all that kind of ****, so we can make some original looking maps.

All good ideas. One problem is that the CVF carriers will be completed in 2012 and 2015 but PR can make exseptions, cant it

?
