Huge, Wide Open Maps

Animalmother · 04-09-2006, 05:15 PM

I was thinkin about DCR and I remember this one map, dcr_bridge I think it was, that used to be my favorite. Huge, wide open, perfect for artillery and intense battles across the bridge. Basically a huge desert with a river in the middle and a bridge that goes across. I was wondering, what are your guys' opinions on maps like these? I was always wondering what that map would be like in BF2. Plus I really missed the wide open maps.

DCR Bridge was an amazingly good map, as was Frontline, especially when it came to large openness. The gameplay was great for how fairly simple the maps were.

snoopdogy, the BF2 engine would allow it.

The engine could handle drawing a huge map with complete visibility and suffer little, assuming little exists in the way of under/overgrowth, buildings and other objects.

So are there any plans on creating a map with huge openness for some good old fashioned conventional battlefield warfare in the future?

This talk about big open maps reminds me of how you could see for miles in BF1942 and its mods.

I guess the devs thought we'd rather want überleet FPS graphics instead of the ability to see a realistic distance.

Yeah, I was way into Joint Operations before BF2 came along and the draw distance has always bothered me a lot. The magical fog actually makes it seem more ghetto than less polished graphics would...
