Iv'e searched the forums and found nothing on this topic..

As of the 1.5 patch there are alot of new maps now included in vBF2 along with New Statics.
Would the dev's be allowed use these? There are quite a few useful ones, like the Walls seen on the Great Wall map now in vBF2...

or even the interstate roads/signs on Road Rage?

The Great Wall (the wall itself) is about 6 statics and can most likely only be placed in the same order on a new map. I'm not too sure about the "fortress"-walls, but I believe that also can/should only be placed connected to one of th static walls.

So, what you'd get is use the Great Wall map for PR, which is never going to happen as it's way too small. Or make a new Great Wall map, featuring basically the exact same vanilla map (when it comes to the walls), but with larger surroundings? Very unlikely that will ever be in PR.

A Great Wall map isn't impossible, but it shouldn't use the vanilla (EF) statics, it limits you too much.

retexturing the destroyed road sign could be worth it

Maps have allways been there and i belive the DEVs have allways been able to change em.

They have been in the bf2 expantion packs, just like the russian forces were.

Ah,
I thought Dev's were only allowed to use what was included in the Original BF2, no? and that using anything from expansions would require permission form EADICE, the same permission they had to request for Special forces statics which is seen in a few of the Current maps now in PR.

This post was just a small suggestion anyway, because their are alot of new statics that might come in
handy

small suggestions are cool :P
