Why do servers mostly run MEC desert maps?

Its actually quite fun, and you get better at it very quickly imo.

The more maps the better! I guess the amount of desert maps are influenced by the current and recent conflicts in the middle east and they will always be popular. But just having a quick look at the community maps section and the few sneak peeks from the DEV's blogs show that we have a veritable smorgasbord of landscapes in the works!

Congrats on the R-CON tags Rudd btw

yeah,thats fun to make those ambushes but theres very rare that you have any teamwork in ins side.
and some ins maps are too much samekind.
city in the middle and desert surrounding and bright sunny day.
fallujah,karbala,ramiel, al basrah.(if i remember right)
korengal and archer is different.
in archer you can make some good ambushes.

then add maybe kashan,ejod,jabal(good maps but atmosphere is just same)
but i hope that our mappers will make maps to bring some fresh air in the maps.
there are some but i dont know is those still in progress or cancelled or what:

http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354...km-wip-14.html
http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f354...e-2km-wip.html
and there are many more that would bring fresh feeling in the maps,if those mappers just can make it right.
but most i hope that brazilian faction gets their jungemaps done and norway gets there cold response.
those maps are fresh.

Can't wait till new maps come along, like the ones for IDF and CF. Or god damn Sangin, that's been in development for forever, can't wait to fly that Chinook.

[Arnoldio]

I will maybe make a map in the future But ATM i dont really have time, but definitely post-0.9 because it would require new statics

Isn't the point of PR (my assumption) to have long rounds? Isn't there a reason that the round lengths are 2 hours and onwards?

Ejod was ruined the instant it became a large flag, and the map was generally flawed from the start due to the desert areas. To be honest the only times it should be played is on the skirmish layer during scrims, and even then its city layout is questionable.

The fact that that (this applies to Qwai as well) a TOW is put up against copious amounts of armor ruins it.

It is such a huge gamble that if the TOW goes down, you can say bye bye to the US, not to mention that with all the open space and little cover SRAWs can't even get a proper shot on fast moving BTRs.

Isn't it being removed along with Kyongan and Sunset? I bloody well hope so...
