Re: New Maps

It's not needed. If you have played some of these custom maps, please give your opinion what are the best maps to pick for a public server.

  • Dukla Pass

  • North Sea Docks

  • Operation Sylt Enh

  • Supply line

  • The Great Pursuit

  • UN Ihantala

I've played and tested a large number of other maps also so I can offer some which are the best from my pov:

  • Assault On Crete

  • Burma

  • Corregidor

  • Island Of Horror

  • Karden Khaos

  • Rheinmetall Panzer

  • Toujane Tunisia

  • Ural Foothills

  • When Trumpets Fade

  • Xhaos Lake


P.S. I have 8 GB of custom maps on my HD big_smile

Re: New Maps

Thank you very much! I got most maps from selected mappacks and I've found a lot of custom maps here:
http://www.gau-games.de/?download&kategorie=400
http://www.bf-games.net/downloads/categ … -maps.html
http://www.fileplanet.com/100077/0/section/Maps
http://www.gamefront.com/files/listing/ … /Conquest/

Based on your opinions, I'll add around 30 maps to installer. I haven't played any of custom maps in public servers and don't have time to test them all out, so I'm asking for your help.
I found A bridge too far map, it's going to be added. What is Supply line map? This version from Fizzy: http://www.fizzynet.net/Maps_BF1942.html
Those other maps from Fizzy also look great. I've found some times two or more versions of the map, like Benghazi, Nuenen and Supply Line, it's confusing.

That version is the latest "official" smile

Yeah, they are perfectly made, but I'm not sure players will enjoy playing them. Battle of the Philippine Sea, for example, actually is extended Midway, Battle for Agedabia and The Road To Berlin are too big for small number of players, etc.

I'd remove Kasserine, it's too big and boring...

Re: New Maps

They will be played on New Maps server. I have an idea to make it happen, but then you can't change the maps picked. That's why it's important now to get the best maps chosen.

Re: New Maps

After a long map test, these are the maps I've selected:

Infantry action

  • Island of Horror

  • Karden Khaos

  • Murmansk

  • Operation Forager

  • Rheinmetall Panzer

  • Toujane Tunisia

  • UN Ihantala

Tank action

  • Battle for Korsun SE

  • Dukla Pass

  • Reichsbahn

  • Russlandsturm

  • The Great Pursuit

  • Tigerpass

Mixed action

  • Assault on Crete

  • Battle for Guam

  • Burma

  • Dambuster

  • Faid Pass

  • Giza

  • Liberation of Nuenen

  • Marshall Island

  • North Sea Docks

  • Operation Mallard

  • Operation Sylt Enh

  • Remagen

  • Ural Foothills

  • When Trumpets Fade

Some will have to be removed from the list, because of the size of the package. What do you think? Any map missing? Remove any maps?

sunny-штаны, can you upload your Corregidor file, please? I could not find a working Corregidor map file. It gave an error while loading map.

Re: New Maps

Battle of Africa I tested very quickly and from what I read it needs to be modded to balance it.

Interesting enough that only 1. league clans complain about that. I think the map is fine as it is. nvm choose what you think is best.

Re: New Maps

Thank you! Does Rheinmetall Panzer lag for you? I can't play inside the factory without lag.
Did you fix Corregidor by yourself or you downloaded it somewhere? It's a nice Pacific map.

I have small FPS drop on my notebook with 64 MB video memory smile Maybe it's caused by big number of lightmaps.
Fixed Corregidor by myself, there was an error which ran AI in conquest mode.
