[Map] Operation Archer - redux

PARAMEDIC.CA · 12-09-2008, 11:25 AM

Since its original publication I have continued to work on Operation Archer. The original release had challenged both the home PC and the server with its large destructible-static count (well over 600) and its extensive view distance (1111m). This in tandem with the insurgency faction being under equipped with weapons allowed for uneven game play with inexperienced gamers or uncoordinated team play.

The recent Operation Archer candidate is well on its way to being finished (well, maps are never really finished). Through extensive collaborations with other Reality developers (especially Fuzzhead, Katarn, and Dr. Rank) and the very hard work of many of the others on the mod team I have been able to develop a much stronger version of the map.

Some of the key items of improvement include: less destructible statics, improved aesthetics including vegetation and water, and more villages.

The map overview:

Size: 2km
Factions: US (Canadian placeholder) vs. Taliban (insurgency)
Equipment: a pleasant surprise
Modes: Insurgency (64, 16), AAS (32), and Skirmish (16)

Here are a few snapshots I have collected and as we move forward with this map I will be glad to share more of them

Taliban Truck with 50cal. overlooking main village.

Road into main village...

Poppy farm and irrigation dam

New guy on the block

Always some horsing around

STAY TUNED !

so will the old version of archer be replaced? or is this just some kind of improved version?

anyway if it offers the same gameplay (helis for main transport and support of crates) than i love it

The old version of Archer is now in the PR Museum

This will be the newest edition.

Kind words, tyvm. Nevertheless, there's always room for improvement. Hopefully, we have nailed the video lagg/stutter.
