Project Reality Maps are real!

Fearosius · 04-28-2007, 02:12 PM

I found that a few of the maps in PR are actually based on real-time cities/provinces/coastlines, etc. Here is complete list.

GB vs Insurgents

Helmand Province - Based on the actual Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan. The level itself is probably based in the rural areas of the province.

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmand_Province

GB vs MEC

Airport - The level, Airport is based on Farasan Airport. Farasan is the largest town located on the Farasan Islands in the Red Sea (just off the coast of southern Saudi Arabia).

Note: Not 100% relevant.

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farasan_%28city%29

GB vs Millitia

Assault on Mestia - Based on the town of Mestia, Georgia. The town itself is located up Caucasus Mountains. Please note this map has not been released yet.

More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestia

GB vs PLA

Hills of Hamgyong - Apparently, Hamgyong was one Eight Provinces of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty (9 July 1392 - August 1910). The Hamgyong Province today is now part of North Korea. What really bothered me here was why were GB and PLA fighting in North Korean territory?

More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamgyong

USMC vs Insurgents

Al Basrah - Actually based on the real city of Basrah in southern Iraq. The city is located on the Shatt al-Arab waterway (the river you see with the large bridge going over it in the actual map).

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Basrah

USMC vs MEC

Al Fallujah Region - Based on the Al Fallujah Region (Al Anbar Governorate). The level is probably based on the outskirts of the city of Fallujah itself.

More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallujah

EJOD Desert - Although the Ejod Desert does not exist, the level is mainly based on the remote town of Qasr, Libya.

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasr

Gulf of Oman WAC - Based on the shores of the Gulf of Oman. It is a redux of the original map from BF2.

More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Oman

That is all I can find for now, post some up if you find any real-time maps. Thx!

- Post your thoughts!

Clearly you aren't great at geography but nearly the entire northern portion of the Gulf of Oman is on Iranian shores.

Blackhawk 5 · 04-28-2007, 02:53 PM

hmmm seems to me it covers 3 countries 1 saying its Iran (north)

lol. some of your research speaks for itself where other research is kinda wrong

Helmand Province is slightly based off it, was mainly based off a small village some where in afganistan.

Airport I'm pretty sure was not based off any r/l airport excatly. SPfreak never seems to make his maps based on real places, they are just made up on refrences pics hes found about and ideas hes got in his head.

Assault on Mestia, correct, hence the name

Hills of Hamgyong, correct again, Nikovk made it cos his grandad I think fort in that battle, not sure?

Al Basrah, its acturlyed based on the region around Basrah, hence the "Al" infront of it and why you have lots of desert and not just city

Al Fallujah Region, infact this map was not based off of this place, nor dose it really resemble much atall to the fighting thats happening at the mo here. was a made up area and was going to be called "sand storm" or something untill terror found out anouther map was called that...

EJOD Desert, this map is not based off anywhere im 80% sure.

Gulf of Oman WAC, ehh ye correct, EA made it

also a big one you forgot about was infact Muttrah City, based off Muttrah (aka, muscat thou muttrah is the haubor area name):
