Suggestion requested on new desert map: 'Udairi Desert'

[frankboer]

Due to lack of interest this concept was cancelled.

If you do make an map like that please make the respawn rate for tanks and CAS much shorter otherwise it would turn out in a too huge infantry map anyway

Also, only 1/2 CAS planes for each team should be allright
having the time set around noon-sunset would be cool too

just for the love of god don't make it an kashan V2...

Hmm, interesting just make sure that it will keep all the asset in the final version. Ive seen too many maps going to final without CAS.

[jbgeezer]

This map is really interesting I must admit

[krisfx]

Is it possible to have two forces ie britain and the US against insurgents or mec in the same map. ?

[jbgeezer]

No only to teams may play versus each other, harcoded I belive

[Jedimushroom]

CAS choppers please, they are far more teamwork oriented than planes.

Also if there won't be a dedicated infantry area could you possibly make little infantry hotspots for ambush and the like? Hills with trees, little buildings with lots of windows, just something to stop it being a great big open desert of nothin'.

EDIT: Does it have to be US? No-one plays Qin Ling and so the Brits have no big map anymore, also having Brits would make your map more clearly separate from Kashan Desert.

I'm really interested in the map so far, though while I agree that you shouldn't consider Infantry in any way for the main part of the objectives (IE, capping flags), you should still try and consider them to some degree with chances for Recon/CAS spotting/Anti-tank support roles. In other words, don't just make it an asset playground, provide some areas for infantry to support, such as a few sparsely yet logically placed villages/buildings. Don't make them main objectives, either.

I agree that you should keep this as an asset based map, but I wouldn't bother worrying about the assets and their numbers yet.

Make the view distance FAR! make it about 1.5 km, and you'll get epic battles, both on the ground and in the air. I would also keep part of the map pretty flat, which would be like a "death valley" kinda thing because you'd be out in the open for a while.

But overall, it's looking good for a start.

PS. Jedimushroom, Attack choppers are in no way any more teamwork oriented than planes. I'd love to see them included, but don't just invent stuff up They are only ever as teamwork oriented as their crew are, and I've seen both the ups and the downs for both.

If we create a new faction called Usa and Britain then have half of the players with the US geometries and half of the players with the British ones, and half the comm rose with British accent, half with US accent(like the comm rose for EU forces) basicly its going to be British and US simulated by one team, is that possible?

[Jedimushroom]

Still want to see this map given to the Brits, too many people just assume these sorts of maps should be US vs MEC, and I say why? Brits got all the necessary assets and they've been unbugged quite well. I think it would give your map (which is looking pretty slick at the moment) its own air and original flavour.

Also I love playing as Brits and I don't wanna see them not having any of the fun

EDIT: Relating to combined Brit and US faction, possible yes but a damn lot of work and probably not worth it in the end.
