[Map] The invasion of varanger, Norway vs. Russia (4km) [scrapped]

The guy who began remaking Wake Island meant he found a way to make it 8km2, as long as nearly all the map was water.

Scale 8 maps. - Official BF Editor Forums

It would be good to have two factions having "alternate" skins.
In the same way the British have "desert" and "woodland" cammo skins.

the Russian and Norwegian factions should have "Woodland" and "Winter" cammo skins.

A nice northern lights sky on a night map would be good. I miss the night vision maps.

Yep I miss the night vision maps too. Its funny and more interesting to play in the darkness, you can sneak more than normal also

It would be nice if you could see the Northern Light at the sky and the moon, with out the night vision

Well lets see, someone will maybe tray to make it one day. If the map is to huge we can cut it down

Hope it will be made one day, arctic/dark combat sounds cool

I don't think you'd even need NVGs in a snow landscape with clear sky, it's pretty lit up.

I played this map on SP singel player it was dark, but enough light to see alot. And the fog blended very well in as a natural thing. Goods station was its name.

skins are not the hard part of making a snow map. The hard part of making a snow map(s) is the all the tasks needed to be done by many different types of people to get them done.

This includes the obvious skins for players and vehicles, then you also need to do loads of skins for statics, overgrowth etc, most of which will in fact require new statics as reskinning most statics simply wont cut it. Then you need think about new "snow" materals, and there are many diffrent types of snow, snow with dirt, deep snow, shallow snow with grass patches, icey snow, ice etc. Then all news new materials need new effects for when you shoot them, when a chopper flys over them, when you drive over them, when a player walks on them, when a bomb is dropped on them etc. Then all these new materials also need new sounds, for when a player walks in snow, needs a snow sound, when a vehicle drives on snow, when a bullet hits snow etc. On top of this there is also many other tasks that need to be done like a new set of terrain textures, roads etc etc.

So for this you will at least need:

• A very talented mapper willing to take on the huge task and directing it, preferentially knows how to make statics, basics skins and knows the basics what is required for all these process.
• A Skinner willing on doing LOADs of reskins and is good at it and knows how to do snow well.
• A coder to do the new new materials.
• A effects guy to make all the new effects.
• A sound gut to do all the new sounds.

All in all, if you want to do a snow map, you need to have a team that is willing and ready to do a shit load of work.
