=VG= Melon Muncher Posted March 13, 2022 at 09:14 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 at 09:14 PM So with AI changes slowing down I'm turning my attention to the hated maps of PR, the despised, the forests. I'm looking to improve these mapsplayability by improving the specific issues that cause us to alt+f4 midway through the round, or things that cause everyone to get annoyed fighting over a single flag for 20+ minutes. To do this, I need help from you, the playerbase to help compose this list of dramas. I need 3 things, map name & layer, flag name or location and the issue. Example, Fools road LRG, east valley and ridgeline. Spam fighting in forest. Lashkar Valley STD, North Objective, impossible to cap without APC spamming from hill.\ I know forest maps suck because bots can see through trees, but it is being worked on with variable view distances and other things 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System Posted March 14, 2022 at 12:04 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 12:04 AM Spoiler Assault on Mestia - Standard - reaching North Perimeter without going insane Bamyan - Large - Foxtrot flag gets a lot of heavy fighting, it gets boring for everybody if all of the spawns aren't being camped and takes a while, no one should have to camp that much, last flag in dod... Battle of Ia Drang - Standard - US Command fighting without proper support can become hell in the first few minutes, AA pit flag is difficult to reach and is usually where bots are found most of the time, other flags mostly empty even though they have decent cover Battle of Ia Drang - Alternative - yes Charlies Point - Standard - Bridges flag is hell if capped third in order, no cover, bots spawn everywhere, Abandoned Airbase feels almost the same, but it has one sandbag bunker (destroyable bunker) you can use for cover Fools Road - Infantry - cancer hill fighting on Hill 530 and 531 with brain dead bots, can't imagine what it's like with the new ones Fools Road - Alternative - broken bot spawn out of navmesh makes them die and stay in cap, few times couldn't finish it and it caused massive lag cause of the bodies Hades Peak - Alternative - reaching Checkpoint by any means requires more luck than brain, and a good CAS squad (hope the quad that can see our main doesn't kill them at the start) Karbala - Standard - unused gary Korengal Valley - Standard - bots like the G3 part of the map too much, keep suppressing from there Masirah - Infantry - Fighting in the Palace causes massive lag due to dead bodies Masirah - Large - North Hangars bots get stuck inside the bunkers in a large number, feels like those could be better off elsewhere Omaha Beach - Standard - the broken ramps on the landing crafts Operation Ghost Train - Infantry - Supply Train 0 usable cover, barely can cap it by hooking into the train Operation Soul Rebel - Standard - Alva flag, 1 wooden shack surrounded by dense foliage, what could possibly go wrong Operation Thunder - Standard - Castle Road to Barn, no cover, can't cross without smoke at all Outpost - Alternative - no respawn logi, reliance on trans for supply Shijia Valley - Infantry - Not camping the spawns correctly or just fighting in general on the South City flag sometimes causes massive lag due to the sheer number of bots/dead bodies Tad Sae Offensive - Alternative - South Bridge 0 cover fighting Wanda Shan - Standard - driving for minutes to and from main, flags with 0 infantry fighting Xiangshan - Alternative - North Objective impossible to cap, 0 cover, 200m cap, foliage everywhere, South Fields is also painful, but only cause of that 1 spawn inside of a bush on the south-west side of the flag edit: Guys, don't just spam the thread with "this map sux, bushes blah" - think of: 3 hours ago, =VG= Melon Muncher said: specific issues 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-CON LangMaster Posted March 14, 2022 at 12:06 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 12:06 AM Well basically almost every map that has alot of foliage, which La Drang is a speciality for this. Being shot at by something you cannot see is very annoying, and only way to usually win these fights is to absolutely ignore the bots and make a big circle of running around them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= m823us Posted March 14, 2022 at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 02:32 AM Ghost train: If we could move the spawn back to two options it would be great and the logi's are struggling with the tank traps on that map/bridge again.

R-CON LangMaster Posted March 14, 2022 at 10:50 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 10:50 AM I could try to look at some maps that have some quality of life issues, Though they have already like 4 layers done in the queue from me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroStep Posted March 14, 2022 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 11:27 AM Regarding FPS issues Khamisiyah Alternative -- two-storey buildings inside the Bunker Complex (bots spawn there in groups of 4-6 at once). Masirah Infantry -- lagging so much inside the Palace (last group of flags) that the server couldn't register a revive. Hopefully we could have more fighting within the city streets and less in the end. Other Bamyan Large -- lack of infantry transportation other than few Ural trucks. I know Boraghs were not supposed to be on that layout, however putting them on OPFOR side so they cannot be accessed makes little sense. Enemy armor usually gets stuck at Objective Golf (that narrow checkpoint after Foxtrot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
System Posted March 14, 2022 at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 at 01:22 PM 8 hours ago, =VG= Melon Muncher said: Just too hard to reach the flag with bots attacking or to cap the flag? The terrain there is awful, the only real cover you have is the bunker, and the only way to it from the north (the side with the least bots) has a valley where they shoot at you from above, and even if you reach it it requires a lot of firepower to neutralize. 8 hours ago, =VG= Melon Muncher said: ??? not really able to do anything. Do you hold V arrow to drop ramp? Yes, the ramp doesn't move at all, and it starts in the open position, I've played on deployment and their boats work normal. (this issue has been around for a few patches now - feels like it was "made" so that the bots can exit the boats) 8 hours ago, =VG= Melon Muncher said: Infantry layer? Yeah, my bad, Castle Road has some cover in the form of rocks and they come from only one direction so it is a little tough but doable, but there is 0 cover when moving to the Barn, only bushes, and the terrain doesn't help either. Usually dump a lot of smoke so that we could even get near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a CO-OP kit grab it from the crate, provided you can find one early game (useful for medics I guess). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones from crates and apc's are deployment medic kits. And yup it can be a problem sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Posted March 17, 2022 at 12:42 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 at 12:42 AM Masirah needs a larger navmesh with maybe some more trees. Its not complex enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
