Ps I'm sorry for the POE2 links but they they do show what we mean and we all know PR is the best realism mod. :P

ye the POE2 team have done a real nice job on thous maps, biggest problem from doing it from a PR perspective is that to do it well you need to crate a bunch of new statics which takes quite abit of time.

Personally I preferred the map with the sidewalks

Anyhow tis still looking awesome and we're in desperate need for a bit of Urban :P (not forgetting fallujah)

Can't wait to go for a stroll about your town :P

I see Ablacks point with the War torn feel. I like the fact that there's a car dumped here and there and I understand the mappers point of view with lag coming from objects and such., Interested to see how it'll all turn out in the end.

Looking at those PoE screenies, no doubt if anyone has the time & knowhow that creating new statics and such to help create a bit more atmosphere like that would be well worth it :P

should be a pretty furious map :P I can see those road being a deathtrap

I'm choosing a different sky right now to make it feel unique. Was thinking about a night map with lots of static lights in the town but I'm not sure about the performance and the insurgents would be at huge disadvantage since they don't get NV.

If you had the right level of darkness and streetlights then it could be that it'd be better on the well lit streets with NVGs off but perhaps in some of the darker back alleys + houses and such NVGs would be a must.

That would encourage some different and interesting tactics between the two sides imo.

Night Urban would be something good that we havn't had before If you're still pondering about it go for that as your next project :P

It looks better now without sidewalks especially with more overgrowth that give the map the right feel.

I've also decided not to make it nightmap (tried night skies from BF2 SF with appropriate lightning and I have to say that the Sharqi sky looks best) due to performance and balance issues + I really don't like Bi Ming as well as many other players (probably the least popular PR map that ever was).

And trust me I would love to make it as war torn as it gets but with current statics this is not possible beside that try reading the story line on the first page

So whats happening with this map? :O

Aweshens.

I think a street or two that cut through the grid diagonally would make movement more interesting. Think of how Broadway goes through Manhattan, but in a smaller scale. The little section of houses, that isn't aligned straight with the rest of the blocks, is already making it look so much better.

I really hope you finish this. Looks like fun.
