Please give feedback to help make the map better!

Looks like some of the BHD maps for DFBHD

Lovely work, gonna see about sending you some PR goodies that might work in the map

About the overgrowth- I've had some trouble with the editor crashing when lots of differnt types of under/overgrowth were used (so did a few other people), so the best thing is to initially paint say just 2 types (maybe a trees/bushes one, & another for just bushes), & for each type just have 2 or 3 objects.

Don't go placing single static overgrowth unless it's vital- keep things easily editable, & you can use the overgrowth shadow map on the overgrowth system objects.

I like the way you're clustering the veg, very authentic, try to be economical with the density though.

Only comments about these screenshots are the big highway bridge seems a bit redundant leading up to a few small houses, & the huge city walls surrounding the mosque look too big, although it does give it a Mecca look.

Yeah, seens pretty damn good.
I always wanted some bahsra maps for bf2

And Matt, I believe the big walls are part of bashra, if i'm not mistaken.

Hot damn, that's some good mapping, duckhunt

Sealights · 2006-08-26, 21:00

luizinhuu · 2006-08-26, 21:58

i loved the high walls circumventing the mosque
very nice
it seems like it has very few cover, though

Needs to be in .4 for sure.

Also, you mind putting some little hilly areas in that second screen on the way to the city so you will at least have some cover?
