Coota0 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 This is not asking for a release date, but for when the map is set. Will the map be set? 2001? 2005? 2015? 2020? Current day? Will all FOBs in active use in whatever time period is chosen be on the map? Or will only major bases be included (i.e. Leatherneck, Bagram, Jbad, KAF) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Afghanistan map includes the rugged mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush, the vast deserts of the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut, and the many green fertile valleys and river basins of the region. Efforts have been dedicated to accurately portraying the unique cultural and urban features of Afghanistan. This involves recreating cities like Kandahar and Herat, with special attention to landmarks, infrastructure, and architectural styles like the blue mosque of Herat. High-resolution satellite imagery has aided authentic terrain textures and details, while aerial imagery has been used to enhance the accuracy of individual areas. Special focus is being given to the detailing of terrain features, including rivers, roads, vegetation, rocks, small stones, ground clutter and geological formations. The terrain presented is a representation of modern Afghanistan, most closely matching the years between 2008 and 2010. The map has been developed to offer gameplay that spans the many eras of combat in the region. This is our most ambitious map yet and the sheer size, diversity of the terrain, and complex topography of Afghanistan have presented technical challenges, pushing the boundaries of our map-making technologies. Performance optimization and development is ongoing, allowing the map to look good at both low and high altitude.

Tiger-II Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) To clarify another point: if you buy a map section, you can still fly over the rest of the terrain, but just in lo-fi. For $50 though, best to just buy the whole thing! It's worth to watch the interview Wags did. It's the pinned topic in this forum.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
