Urban Jungle (vBF2 night map) and Dice Live Team

[youm0nt]

While looking at Battlefield2.Filefront.com, I found a nice night map for vBF2 called Urban Jungle and in the description it says it is a MEC vs PLA map, with PLA defending the city and MEC attacking. I thought to myself that I never saw a PLA vs MEC map in vBF2 or PR before. I downloaded it and made a local server to play on and it is one of the best vBF2 custom night map I've played. I just wonder how this map would play out in PR because it's such a good map and it'd be nice to see MEC and PLA fight it out in PR.


That's the Chinese machine gun mounted on a sandbag wall...


... And it's useable! I never seen that before in a custom vBF2 map.


Overlooking the bridge at the waterfront flag, look at the pretty lights emitting from the buildings.


The 64 player map spawn menu for MEC, also lots of flags to capture in the city.

While downloading the map above, I found a news update on the site called "DICE Live Team Changes". Reading the whole article, it says, "... while Barrie will be working on updating the existing games, such as Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142." Does this mean the DICE Live Team will be updating BF2?! Sounds interesting...

Interesting indeed, especially so as its for vBF2. In BF2 you have "Team 1" and "Team 2". You have MEC and PLA as Team 2 all the time in BF2, while USMC (and brits in PR) are Team 1. You can't have Team 2 vs Team 2.

But, you can. Wierd.

Who made the map?

This is from Imtheheadhunter, not EA

I know, I just saw the "Dice Live Team" on the title and thought it was from EA...

If something said "Dice Live Team" wouldn't you think it was from DICE?

you know that map EA just put a beta out for just like a week ago is over a year old? there are screen shots of it on the EA beta servers over a year ago with ppl saying "i wonder what that map is".

anyways back on topic, the map itself dose not look too bad, I'm surprised I have never seen it or heard of it before. probably one of these German mappers who stay on there German mod sites, like us English speaking modders stay on our English sites

Looking at the minimap its a little small for my liking, guy looks to have done something smart with the boat spawns in the river, I know of it but have never seen a mapper do it before, unless he aint checked the enter vehicle on spawn box and just have the players spawning in the water then swim to the boats

The map has too many CPs looking at it, easy thing to remove thou, will take a closer look.

ohhh and ye, its always been possible to have a "MEC vs PLA" map, there are afew custom maps like that in vBF2 but if you do it in PR, with having a team 1 vs another team 1, team then you will brake all the kit request system etc.

going to take a closer look at the map, see if we may be able to use it for pr

And quite interesting if indeed easily done. We could finally have PLA / MEC / Insurgents fighting each other (which is really missing now).
Or even better US vs Brits (oh come on we can always find a reason why )

edit: just read Rhinos answer ...

I spawned in at the MEC beach and I spawned inside a Vodnik, so he must have made the players spawn inside the boats at the spawn point. I didn't spawn in at the boat spawn point while I was exploring the map, so I'm not sure.
