Your favourite Warfare map

[Sky Monster]

Why are none of these maps ever larger than 10km²? It honestly seems like we need to remove everything that locks on from the game to make them viable. I was checking out lingor and even the tanks will be a pain in the arse. Some sort of modified mission with only light vehicles and very basic choppers looks like the way to go with these. Tasmania was ruined by BLUFOR UAV spam...

The Humvee TOW is no ware close

That's an F. I'm going to have to call your parents this time.

Well that's what I tried to do with Rebalanced (remove all the tab locking). The reason I had to cut out a lot of the missiles with Unit_Balancing was because Mando Missiles was bugged. However UHAX has fixed that, meaning Unit_Balancing isn't necessary now..

A 10x10 map or larger would be ideal, with variety of scenery types (forest, fields, mountains, hills, desert, ocean). Sahrani fits the bill in that regard, but it's hard to acquire, and about 2GB to download. I also haven't played it in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it will look quite dated by today's standards.

Why can't Benny just use the dynamic town generator to wipe Cherno/Taki and rebuild downs on the fly, making Warfare a little unique each time.

I posted a download link with my recomendation. Here 'tis again http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7006.

Agreed 2 gig is a huge DL, bear in mind it includes 5 islands. As for looking "dated", I've been trying it out this morning and it looks right purty. And just personally, I think it looks much nicer than Cherno.

All said and done I'd be happy to play on any new-ish island. I love blasting the **** out of people as much as the next bloke, but playing on Cherno and Taki has become as exciting as walking down to the local supermarket.

If Sahrahni is a no go, I vote for Duala and Dingor.

depends what your buyin really, walking backwards to the supermarket blindfolded should spice things up nicely. But I hear ya, theres only so many times you can do that before it too becomes a bore.

a bit of new blood if you please

If anyone's interested, I've taken the warfare being currently played on the GON server #1 and ported it to the islands from the CAA1 project. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7006

I'll be running a server from my home during next weekend from the afternoon of Fri 24th to late Sun 26th. It'll be only a very limited mission list and only for the CAA1 islands. I've ported warfare to Porto, South Sara, the full sahrahni island and I'm currently working on a north island only version for the united Sahrahni island, that I'm hoping to have ready for the weekend.

To those of you who already have the CAA1 file or you're willing to make the huge-arse 2gig download from the link above, and you want to play on Bohemia Interactive made islands that you either haven't played on before, or haven't played on for a long, long time, I'll have the server and warfare missions.

Just enter "grendel" into the in game server filter from late Friday arvo onwards.
I can't give an exact start up time 'cuz I don't know what time I'll be finishing work on Friday.

Id like to see Warfare.ported to the Reshmann Province map. Not quite the 2gb of Sahrani and its a 20x20km map with the towns being made using OA assets. Has been designed with Warfare in mind and features some pretty cool terrain not to mention that the towns arent pissy little hamlets like what we see in Takistan.

[Freeborne]

Holy ****. I actually agree with Imp for once.

Played Reshman last night and came here to post the same suggestion. Huge map, great fps. Mostly desert and low hills though. Tab locking would turn most games into a noob fest, but it has potential.

I like the layout of Sahrani, but looks dated when I tried it. Bad foilage and buildings, etc. Still worth a shot if you can find a decent mirror to grab it...

[PlacidBox]

I'm with imp, it looks like a great map from the overview.

I'm wary about warfare on bigger maps though. Even on full servers with 10k by 10k maps it's awfully spread out...

[Sky Monster]

Reshman is excellent. The thing that really shines is that there are groups of hills in between most towns, effectively cutting them off from each other. So I don't think tabbing will be all that bad. Aircraft/MAA problems seem to have been fixed with missile range at 2.5km and view distance at 5km.

Maps also nice and big and has incredibly varied terrain. Certainly won't lag some people's PCs as bad as cherno either The server has been performing better recently (providing it gets reset often), so could increase slots by a bit and see how that goes.
Thanks to Hydra for tinkering with it a few weeks ago.

^^ this for sure. with the recent netcode improvements, warfare should be at least 48 slots. And ~400mb download for a new map is a cakewalk.

[Jimieus]

Definitely More Slots!!! Currently it is a battle to get a slot during prime time, and the extra slots would help for those unfortunate enough to land bugged slots.

And obviously new maps would be a win.

[Kenex05]

Yes I think the layout of Sahrani is fairly ideal for warfare, despite from the buildings that look utterly ugly to us now... I do miss the terrains and towns etc but 2 GB would be a bit too big.

Running new maps would be awesome, but I just don't know if we would lose some players because of that though.
And lastly, I think a small-medium scale warfare on Zargabad would be nice for a bit of change too. Not sure about issues like base rape, but I reckon the game would be very intense and fun, and it might be a bit easier for new players to learn as well. Not sure why has it been removed from the server.

[Tonmeister.]

just dl'd Reshmaan map and checked it out. Finally a map you can swing jets around in! the A10 feels right at home in this. Need to get this one on the server definitely. And a 3 sided warfare would be beaut.
