1.05.....sea.....and beach landings.....

[Swoop]

ok, so 1.05 we're gonna have plenty of sea.

Does this mean the map will be split up into islands?  or just 1 big island surrounded by ocean?  or a big land mass with islands dotted around?

See if we're gonna have islands (and I hope we do) we're gonna need a way to get vehicles to those islands......so how about transport ships and landing craft?  That would be seriously cool to drive my tank onto a lander along with 5 others and sail to a distant island to invade......the mission editor would get used more often for one thing.

Hi

I cant see how the current map will make for any substantive use of sea power, so I guess there will have to be a new style map. I hope it has islands and big streches of open sea.

thanks GRUNHERZ

I'm working on a fairly large map atm, that i thought would be excellent for sea battles, and still allow the use of ground vehicles. Basically, the borders of the map are land, with a huge "Ocean" in the middle, with 3 main islands that can be held by each country. This way, ground vehicle combat could be done around the outsides of the map, and sea battles can take place in the middle. I feel it has a great potential once we get landing craft, ports, etc. Unfortunately, until i get a major processing power increase, i'm not working on it too much. it's a pain trying to place objects/edit terrain with a P2 266 and 5 fps avg while editing   I'm also waiting to finish it until 1.05 comes out, so that i can (hopefully) use new textures/objects that are put out for the terrain editor for it. Can't wait for it to come out. Keeping my fingers crossed for dec 1st   my thinking is they'll coordinate it with a new tour
