Map Size is Final

[Wags]

As of the update this week, the map size is final. From the start, the map was planned to include Iran, UAE, and Oman. This will not change.

 

When time allows though, we will try to add some additional airfields and landmarks in the UAE. Our may team has now moved on to the next map that we will announce later this year.

 

Thanks,

Matt

New additions coming to the map include the SA-2 and Rapier surface-to-air missile system, the HY-2 Silkworm anti-ship cruise missile, the Aldar Headquarters building, the Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque, and oil platforms. After that, new airfields (Abu Dhabi International Airport), unique buildings (Abu Dhabi with F1 race track), and weapons (Scud) will be added.

 

So, while the map size is final, we are and will continue to be add content to this map.

I know you said persia map is final but as technology advances we see maps getting better and more detialed, maybe you could add Qatar & Bahrain.  Bahrain hosts the massivley important U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet which oversees the region, Qatar hosts Forward headquarters of the U.S. military’s Central Command at Al Udeid Air Base, turkey also has its own base in qatar.

Hopefully with the new Iraq map, Bahrain through to Kuwait will be populated on the Iraq map (after the North, as per announcement) and ED will allow a paid option to buy for Persian Gulf, at a reasonable price?

I hate the lower quality terrain on cross over maps (e.g. Normandy 2 & the Channel map) which are mutually exclusive, because the maps are made by different companies - it is very frustrating.

Urga Media & OnReTech came to a compromise on use of assets covering Northern Israel, for which we are very grateful.

With the cross over of multiple maps, especially covering the Middle East now & going forward, I hope there will not be a debacle like what happened with the Channel & Normandy maps.

That assets from one map can be ported across maps in shared areas. I would be prepared to pay (a fair price) to have this option, if ED is worried about copy write or losing out on finances.

As per the part map payment process for upcoming Afghanistan & Iraq maps, could allow options to populate previous maps with new map areas created & visa versa.

I doubt you'll get the option to get details in the extreme western part of PG map even if they fill those areas in on the Iraq map.  Simple reason: PG is an old map and made with a totally different technology to what the newer maps are using.  So there would be almost no benefit programatically from the fact that they had it in Iraq when adding it to the PG.  Sure they'd have some of the details of what to add, but they'd literally have to recreate those part in PG, not just copy/paste them in.

Thanks for clarifying.

But hopefully they find a way to port assets across all the cross-over map sections going forward (including older maps)

I would be prepared to pay to enhance my existing maps, and if there one thing ED are very good at - its getting money out of us 

Would significantly improve the Persian Gulf map
