Ramadi Iraq is under construction

Recommended Posts

hello my name is quincy i was the original creator of fallujah for arma 2 sadly my project came to an end due to my lack of visitor 3 and config experience which allowed another user to eventually creater their version of fallujah which was a success. Since it would be akward for me to build another fallujah i began to create my second favorite iraq city called ramadi which shares simular features with fallujah such as many ruins, mosque, and appartments and neighborhoods. Ramadi will consist of mostly regular damaged Operation arrowhead buildings, a few rellevant mgb buildings, and a few pmc buildings all of which are modern mods all to avoid use of caa1 and old arma textures. The city will portay a close image of the real city with some sections of the city left out or altered to avoid making the real soldiers who faught there uncomfortable for exmaple they might stumble upon a street in the game that they have been to during thier tour. The goal of this city is to allow arma 2 players to experience server house to house urban combat in iraq while fighting on narrow streets, alley ways and surrounded by buildings. Allmost all buildings will be enterable and reconizable by AI. All steets and alley ways will be ai frendly, this entire city is built for AI since i never play online. There will be mosque, markets, shops, appartments, neighborhoods, forwoard operating bases, checkpoints, bridges to cross the river and even bridges in the city that the ai can use, and a airfield. this map will not contain undergrowth or or vegetation except for a few trees i place my self because vegetation is one of the biggest causes of decresed framerates in arma 2 so i want as many users as possible to play my city smootly All roads and animations are workin properlly i hope to finsh this city in a few weeks i ams still in phase one of 3. please share your ideas and expectations with me while the city is still being made

updated as of 03/2/13

notes: I extended the terrain size from 5.1 x 5.1 km to 8.1 x 8.1 km for larger operations including airstrikes and artillery fire-missions (the m119 cannon needs long range targets). Fire bases will be added far enough from the city so the m119's can target the entire populated area. i have also added a checkpoint near the entrance of the city on the main highway just before the Saddam mosque

Looks nice so far. What sort of size are you going for with the city?

Fantastic!

I love Fallujah 1.2, and for the most part think Shezan did a great job taking over for you, but one thing about it bothers me - "The City of Mosques" is completely devoid of mosques. Not a single minaret in the entire city.

So ... mosques!

i am taking my time to carefully place each building to fit its surroundings, some designers copy and pace the same buildings and nieghborhoods all over their map. I am being very careful to make sure every street and neighborhood is different and you dont see the same street or building pattern twice.

Looks great so far! Hope you add the small details like garbage, papers flying in wind, trash on street etc.. so it doesn't look so clean :)

I spent 2005 in Ramadi. PM me and I can give you some pictures, help you out with the street names (what we called them, I never saw a street sign there) and some key building locations. Also that was a pretty fucked up place so there probably isn't anywhere someone wasn't killed or hurt and as a veteran of that fight I would probably say if I was going to be disturbed or reminded of a event in a specific area, I would just not download your map, and while yes some parts of that city hold a pretty deep meaning to me I hope that the creation of this map will intrest people to educate themselves about how vicious that place was and how the taking of Ramadi turned the tide of events for the course of the war.

I've been here twice, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Were how much trash was on the average street. Where where some of your forwoard operating bases. Outside or inside the city. How big were the bases. Did you fortify any houses for quick operations. How many mosque dis you see. What would u like me to have in this map
