31st Normandy Mod: World War II for ArmA3

Recommended Posts

Well what did they expect doing 2700km map? this normandy map...if it is still going which i do hope for. won't be that big. It's around 256x256km, and issues can be ironed out during testing, it's doesn't mean it can't be fixed it just means the issues will need to be looked at closely during development and alpha release.

here are the videos from the france map. not my videos, its from the dev who send me the map via skype, the videos were created when they wanted the big france map in theyr map:

if the devs from 31st normandy want to create 250kmx250km terrain, they may add high res ground texture (even on the france map, the dev could add high res texture, he showed me a screen of grass texture) but they will have these not-fixable bugs like the shaking issue and the pushing issue.

Maybe he could get help from the creator of "Cosmos Engine" mod fr Arma 3 after the competition. The dude found a way to allow you to fly from Stratis to Altis in one go, and beyond. The man flew to the moon... Anyhow, looks good, collaboration with those who make big maps possible would be key, but we'll have to wait till after te MANW comp.

250km might be a bit... excessive. Why not focus on a high quality map like the bastonge and normandy maps that were released for arma 2?

Imagine not having to load different maps? Imagine traveling from one area to the next. Or perhaps having to wait for your air cover because they must fly to your area, instead of taking off from an unrealistically short runway 6 clicks away. Or, idk the intentions of the modders, but personally, i like maps that really stand out, and bring a new perspective to game play.

All I am imagining is a 100gig file that takes an hour to load or a 10gig file that is shitty and low res.

Pretty sure they are making also smaller maps anyway.

So....what ever happened to Fields of War for Arma II? Did they just drop all their progress entirely because of Arma III?

Looking forward to this mod, I want to make a realism unit on 31st, and on a map this size you could do an entire D-Day campaign and Normandy Breakout campaign on this one map :D

Is it possible you could release whatever you had done of the Arma 2 Fields of War? Is it playable? Most of your reports say it was 95% done

We're done when we're done. The map is very consuming!
