Anyone know if there's a US map in the works?

Imagine if they used the Armored Fury assets from vBF2 in conjuction with Fallujah assets to create an LA map? you can have suburbs and gettos, and a freeway uniting it all. Maybe a nice cemented out river being crossed by a couple of bridges, on one side you have the city, on the other a rail yard...and in the distance, as part of the 2D sky texture, you can have the LA skyline (distorted so the buildings look straight when applied to the sky sphere)
Anyone know?

Nothing like that would never be done since its just not realistic, me personally atleast cant think of that happening

The Scenario that you suggested isn't realistic at all!
There is no country in the world that can reach LA without its whole army getting killed before!

Well they could land sneakily on the west coast like World in Conflict, that would be pretty coolio if you ask me.

hey, there are lots of things that are not realistic (US Forces fighting in China) but a US map could definatly be fun, and armoured fury would give us a small pack of statics to start, so it would be great if anyone would create something like that

Stop the "Yeah the US is so awesome so no one will attack us" attitude. If we have Sunset City we might as well have a US map. Who in their right mind would attack China anyway? The step has already been made. Now bring on the US homefield maps!

Even if the team were to make a us map we wouldnt have the statics. The statics on fallujah are pretty much all mid east statics so they wouldnt fit in a us map, also the statics given in af are for the most part village type buildings so we couldnt do a city map just a small group of houses like on operation road rage.

People forget how weak and vulnerable America and the entire west is. we all have ageing populations and very few children.
where as china has a huge Reserve of youth to call on in the event of a war.
china has very good military technology in some aspect it rival’s the US army, A massive army over 100 deviations and that just there peace time army, a enormous manufactory capability's, if china declared war on the US north Korea and other country's would undoubtedly jump in aiming to grab new territory
Simple fact is if the coalition when’t to war with china .there would be a very large possibly we would lose.
I have no trouble believing if there a war it would most likely spill onto American soil.

It's just timeconsuming to do as there aren't that many assets/buildings that could fit into that scenario.
Saying it's not realistic is just as **** as anything that is **** in this game is ****.
For example some RUS vs Checken maps could easily be fitted into US soil.
Wrecked old buildings look the same no matter where we are.
EDIT: Do we really need an US soil map or is this just angst against US superior military (budget)?
Saying that we need US based map for feeling good about fighting against defending US army is just low.

One word
LOGISTICS, everything else is irrelevant.
Sorry but China cannot fight a land war in North America.
But for the record, I wouldn't mind a map set in the US.

it doesn't really matter
but the statics of AF are deemed pretty low quality
I'm sure you could use some German statics with reskins though
WiC was a great game, doesn't matter if it could happen or not really, as long as its presented in a way that it 'could'
If you make a Chi amph assault map on a US coastal town...then that Chi are invading America. Doesn't matter if 'OMG IRL THEY COULDN'T"
cuz IRL the US isn't in a major war with teh MEC at teh same time...so its all fiction and its all liquid

The problem is statics... if you make a high quality 2km but preferably 4km map with custom US statics, PR team would definitely be interested, but at this time I dont think anyone is focusing on it because it would be quite a huge task. There is not sufficient statics in either booster pack from EA that would be enough to create a diversified US based map, so youd have to create your own.
The likelyhood of US invading China is just about as slim as China invading US, so all the talking about realism is really not needed - a good map design is a good map design, regardless of the scenario...

I thought PR was about realistic weapons, factions, and vehicles, not realistic scenarios or storylines.
A map in the US would be awesome, but the Armored Fury statics are ****.
