Betst/most fun places to fight (map/location)

[KillSh0t 10]

Hi all...

Was just tinkering around on takistan making missions and I always seem to get frustrated when trying to pick a good place for a battle...one of the more fun places I found on takistan is near Nagara in the Naygul valley, lots of different terrain cover plus the village being so close to a sloped hill the kind of levels off at the top makes for great hill_side firefights.

I built a small US camp at the top with some static guns and some defensive walls...placed a ACM about 600m out along with a couple of malitia groups attacking the hill from the village....

Loads of fun...great place to fight...

Anyone else got a fav place or map?

No, I haven't

My favorite part of the takistan map is the green village area from Bastam to Rasman with the airfield. And maybe Feruz Abad. I like less the southern airfield area.

[Sintacks 10]

My favourite place: Chernogorsk - right in the heart of it all. I set some enemy AI in there with random waypoints and behaviours and sneak into the area on one end clearing buildings as I go along. I use a CQB weapon and side arm mainly. :)

Anyone have some favorite Takistani villages? I really like the ones that have a lot of cliffside houses.

No-one using grid co-ordinates anymore? Would make it so much easier for people to tell what location you're talking about.

095/092 or something like that...forgot to write it down but its in the naygul valley, easy to find

Well im in the brain stroming stage of a mission and i need a villiage, well i say villiage i mean small settlement, with like 5 houses very closely placed but dar away form anything else. I know of one but the terrian is just too steep to be used, any help will be great, thanks!

Steve, you could always build your own settlement.

Either with the village generator module in-game or use an editor upgrade and set up the houses yourself manually...

On topic... I like the "green zone" south of Zargabad. A nice mix of cover, open areas and settlements.

I get scared that the AI will not navigate them as well (O_o) as Permanant houses

My favorite spots:

- Panthera desert (TvT one side starting in FOB NW of it, other in SE seaside town, or coop in W town)

- Panthera Town of Tarvisio

- Lingor NW towns (coop with air support)

- Isla Duala (road leading from Canto up to the North and NW above the airport)

=)

Steve :

on takistan : Landay ? or is it too big?

if not, and you need desertly areas, go for zargabad, you got a couple of nice settlements there to the south

[KillSh0t 10]

Awsome maps ice breakr!

Havent played panthera in a long time, Duala has to be one of the best all around maps, and lingor is just...wow.

Speaking of lingor...I seem to crash alot after a while of playing that map...any specific reason this might be happening Ice?

The map is amazing but I tend to see some texture flicker on some of the bushes/fallen trees..etc....nothing to bad but its noticable, lags just a tad then locks up on me.

I prefer Zargarbad for it's the only city big enough to edit some complicated mission which enables player have some micro-control like Red Shadow.

Lots of good locations for a nice firefight, depends though what sort of fighting you like. Personally i like the more hectic and closer ranged fights, anywhere between 100 and 300m on terrain that provides cover and concealment (so that enemies can flank and pop up to attack) but also gives a fair bit of overview. I really hate, and tend to avoid, sitting on the top of an hill and ripping up the poor dummy's that are struggling to find some cover in the open field ahead. I like to get "into" the fight if you know what i mean...

For these fights i look for terrain that is not too steep like some of the mountains and not too flat either so you dont have any cover or concealment. The "big" mountains are too empty and its easy to completely overlook enemies passing by and vice versa.

Takistan:

Last sunday i setup a mission in the Par-e Siah Oilfields and a great time with some nice firefights. On first the terrain seems to be pretty open en flat, but theres actually quite alot cover, oilpipes, the oilpump and towers, not to forget the dips an small hills that also give good concealment. We flanked and were also flanked a couple of times.

I also liked the terrain in the south, approachin the airfield from the Town Sultansafe. Here the terrain is again pretty open, but it also has alot of small dips and hills, some patches of trees and small groups of houses. The airfield itself also has some nice cover. like the wall to border it. The big hills around it could give some nice flanking routes.

The terrain north east, above Karachinar, also features this type of terrain. Altough more open it also offers more rocks for cover and a few ridges that proved excellent flanking routes.

Then are the greenzones which give very nice shorter ranged fights, much harder to spot enemies and you get easily ambushed. Very entertaining! I like the green zones around Rasman and Nagara the most.

Oh yeah, not to forget the town of Nur and its direct surroundings, also very nice terrain. The town slopes up and has some nice patches of houses, trees, some walls here and there. Then theres also the surrounding "forrest" that allows you or the enemy to get close.

Zargabad:

The area between the mil complex and the villa is also a great fighting area with some different types of terrain close to each other. The rocks and low hills and dips around the mil complex. The open fields more south to the villa and close to the villa a nice hilly / green terrain with again quite some good cover. Let alone the building that provides pretty decent cqb possibilties.

West of the city is a small green zone and a crash site of an old Russian chopper, the terrain is pretty detailed there, lots of very small hills and dips to crawl behind.

Then to the south the green zones close the dried river beds also gives excellent oppertunites for fire and manouvre.

Fallujah :

Take Fallujah for some awesome urban fighting, the city both has very narrow alleys and streets but also more open city areas (long and wide streets, the park, industrial park) for a bit more range.

Podagorsk :

I tend to take us to North Podagorsk for the best forrest fights, the forrest there are just awesome. The trees are spaced out enough so you can see pretty decent up ahead but close enough to give that real eary forest feeling. Also quite a few rocks can be found there and some open spaces to get some distance. The best of this area is that its remote and theres lots of space to move around without stumbling upon yet another village like on some other if not most other maps.

Also the Southern island with the airfield has the hills and forests but also the open terrain of the airfield and the bottleneck of the passage the mainland gives excellent firefight possiblities.

Chernarus:

The area just above the blunt rocks, very very nice small hills and dips, rocks and lots of trees that are spaced out very well. Cover and concealment and yet quite some overview into the forest, take it slow though... as you can get amusbhed easily.

Furthermore pretty much the whole west side to the north of this map is excellent, hills, forest, open fields. A very nice mix of these features that offer a good "base" for a good fight.

wow, nice detailed post chill ;)

ill have to check some of those places out...

Messin around in the area south of zargabad....definitly a nice map for all around battles...

[Stagler 39]

Zargabad green zone. Stick some AI in, some modules, a trigger that ends when everyones dead. You got yourself 20 minutes of hardcore action right there.
