[Map] Al Anbar Province [scrapped]

jayceon515 · 2007-12-25, 13:15

The map is 1024x2 (just like Basrah) and it will be US Army vs Insurgents.
It took me 2 weeks to decide which town to make and I've decided to do Ubaydi . It's a small town near Syrian border. The Marines were there in 2005 IRL. The story goes that after USMC had left the area the insurgents started to come from Syria to regain control. The Army was called in to restore peace and to get completely rid of the remaining insurgents and their weapon supplies.

I've been working on this for the last month and I've got to the point when I can finally say that the town is done.
Here are some screen shots from the editor (sorry for bad quality):

A nice panoramic view:

And the whole area from above:

This is how it looks IRL (It is impossible to make it 1:1 so I've chosen the upper right quarter of the town):

I've been going for realism and that creepy Iraqi atmosphere. Take in mind that this is still very WIP I still have to do a village and US base.
Hope you like it.

Special thanks to US Army lieutenant MikeAP for his awesome reference material it really hepled me to get some details right

Constructive criticism is welcome. Now drop some feedback.

It's going to be such a pain to look for caches on that LOL! Looks cool though
What about...making it at night ? Looking for caches..in the dark.
Not really realistic I guess, but would be fun xD

nice, keep it up.

looks like a good start, thou wouldn't use the vbf2 pavement statics too much, they limit you alot to only building in blocks and the sizes of blocks you can make, thou as your map is most made in blocks dont matter too much.

keep it up

It looks nice.

So what kind of vehicles will us army have only ground(Tanks?) or even air.Maybe put more wrecks on the road for cover.
(Well I won't suggest coz it's still very wip.)
I see some intense urban fighting on this map when it's done.

Great work,keep it up.
