RaDiuM 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Look how the map looks like! this is ugly! Â Where are all the cool marks? What are those squared blue arrows? Shame! Â They need to improve the map! Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrub 0 Posted April 28, 2006 No-one said this was final either. Â Now I'm understanding why BIS doesn't show much until just before release. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunder 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Heh, you have no idea what the final map is going to be. Stop hyperventalating. For all we know that could be a map from a multiplayer screen where the commander has placed arrows on the map for his men for all we know =-\. Said it once, said it a million times, they've had 5 years to figure out the best format, chances are that as a highly skilled team they already know that and are working on it!

snoops_213 75 Posted April 28, 2006 even IF it is going to be what the final map looks like im sure someone will redo the icons like there is in OFP with standard NATO or equivilant markers! Chill out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brataccas 0 Posted April 28, 2006 it would be nice if the final one was based on the VBS1 map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JdB 151 Posted April 28, 2006 A map doesn't need to be pretty, it needs to be based on the system that the US uses (in other words, realism). Pretty looks are not important in that system, usability is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maky 0 Posted April 28, 2006 When the final Mission overview looks like this, there is a base to discuss about it. In this stadium a discussion is....useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrub 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Yup. Hold off on the pics BIS! Only show us the final ones! then you'll only hear whining instead of complaints about stuff you've already fixed. *slaps self silly* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted April 28, 2006 it would be nice if the final one was based on the VBS1 map  Yea, hi, how is that any different than the one in OFP (other than the notebook)? Anyways it only makes sense that BIS is going for a more modern look for the map in ArmA, considering that it IS set in a modern era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commando84 0 Posted April 28, 2006 i kinda of liked the different and more cartoonish look of the map looks different than the old one wch sometimes made my head heavy, especially after seeing the same design map view after all these years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timblesink 0 Posted April 29, 2006 I think it's better, for a few reasons: 1. No more losing equipiment! Once, I tried to see if I could get the notepad off the screen. I got it back about 6 months later. 2. It's more modern. It's kinda like a GPS map. 3. You can always ask the community for a new one. Remember: OFP has a MASSIVE mod community. 4. WHO CARES. So it's not perfect. Sue BIS. It probably isn't the final one anyway. There aren't any trees or bushes shown on it, so they may well change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyamoti 0 Posted April 29, 2006 You people are arguing over a map...ffs the one in OFP works well enough,it gives you what you need and gets you where you need to go,it doesn't have to be high tech and in pretty colors like a MFD's would be,I mean hell,doesnt the army still use paper for most of their maps and the computers for the high tech navigation and gps system? Sahrani is obviously a bit behind "modern",the military is in there yes but judging by its size and the small force there I would tend to believe they would use "simple" maps,of course I could be wrong,this is just a speculation. But arguing over a map isn't worth any headaches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
