When can we expect new maps?

[blueyes77]

This game needs more maps & fast:D

I love current maps, but i wanting maybe more close quarters maps:D
It would be devastating strike to BF3 players buying that map pack, if you would
get same and better action for free:D

You will have 2 new maps (with 2 variations) in the next patch arround middle of june.

Anyway, if you want more, you are welcome to help us.

I haven't even seen all the current maps thoroughly yet

[blueyes77]

Just tell me what to do, ill do it!!! except if it needs somekind of coding skills:((

There are really enough maps, I think. More is never bad, but if you can focus on other improvements, better do that first. If you have enough free-time though, new studd is always apperciated, as the existing maps are really fantastic.

What do we need to create new maps? I am a 3d designer so am sure I could help you somehow.

I have contacted the person who created the Crysis Single Player Level "The Resort" and got a respons. Not going to copy all of the correspondence, just the main headlines:

------------------

It´s quite a while ago since i made "The Resort" back in 2008.
I still have all the files and stuff from the development process.
There are two versions of "The Resort" available, one story version with AI and one Landscape only version without enemies, cutscenes, music and stuff like that.

( Don´t mess with your CB installation  - but  - you can have a look at this map in CB already, if you know how to load custom maps.)

About Casus Belli: Of course i´ve heard about it - always liked the level design and the level of detail.
A lot of professional work was put into it.
If you want to use my map "The Resort" as a multiplayer map, this is fine for me, as long I will become listed in the credits ("Map design based on SP Map "The Resort" by skm" or something like that).

I would be glad to see the map in a different way.

I don´t know anything about map creating or converting. But I´d love to see this level in CB. As the map is huge (four square kilometers) I have two ideas:

a) A map with 4-5 flags only which have to be captured/defended. Once captured they become locked, don´t remember the name of it. CB has this. Spawning with the parashoot from the middle mountain could be great for one of the teams.. :-)

or

b) Just take the hill in the middle of the map, this will still be a huge map... and a game mode "Capture the hill/ the little village on top of the hill" as only objective.

c) your ideas. ,-)

I don´t know what more to say about this idea and further developement of this idea, therefore I decided to just make a post.

There is plenty of videos about The Resort on Youtube - have a look at it:

We should do something to really put cb on the map.... And make it famous...

Use that island but have 20-30 capture points in advance or rush mode, so that one map game could take 2 hours to finish in mp.... Now that's epic.... And people would start talking...

[TekHousE]

That resort map is fantastic

[Fabiolo]

The idea i not bad but i won't have time to do that in next months, sorry for that.

[oO Para Oo]

That's cool no worries. But the idea is great. One massive map with capture points possibly vehicles at certain points and infantry to start of with, 1 map that takes couple hours to finish would be amazing in mp and something no other game has...

I totally understand that. Allow me three questions:
Are you the only person able to create or convert maps at the moment?
Is CB interested in more map creators - or rather not?
I gave it a quick shot and loaded it in the CB mod. Here is what it looked like at the moment. How many hours of work you would say has to be done for a guy knowing the SB2 editor to get it fully working with CB, you´d say?

Base jumping off that wooden bridge would be awesome!

[blueyes77]

Oddly enough, I am working on a CB map that features that 'fight for middle' spawn concept, and a few other things that I want to remain silent on

It won't be 20 flags though; I think it may have 7-8. If things go according to plan, we should have yet another map that HOPEFULLY lives up to the standards set by Fabiolo (Seriously, your map design is brilliant).
