Since Rameil is so demanding as far as all the buildings/objects, does this mean we can only expect to see Urban areas equaling about 1k of any map?

Burning Sands is very demanding also...though I might be working on something in my spare time using alot of ideas on being more optimised...

a city 1K in diameter is pretty good for a game as old as BF2 imo

2 words:
-Fallujah
-Lag

Although I have read somewhere that making a city block completely as a model is less demanding than a block made out of a bunch of statics (and also the main reason lego buildings are not to be used for future maps)

Just a thought, I've no skills in modeling or coding so I'm just talking out my ass here really...

Funny because this is EXACTLY what Outlawz did on his Saaremma map to reduce lag with the trees, so yeah that could work out.

yeah a "ghost town" with really dense fog you can only see 50m ahead of you

I think you are again forgetting the RAM requirements of all those lightmaps and the server load with all those objects and colmeshes

Plus merging that many models in a non-reusable fashion would require a lot of disk space, and about a million hyperbolic hours of mapping and optimization.
