Wardak_WIP

Recommended Posts

I voiced my opinion, that I was looking forward to this map, and am no longer... because I thought it was a dumb decision. If that is offensive, oh well, its my opinion and the opinion of about 50 people whom I've talked about this to on my co-op team, which is 100% against PR because of its policy against modding it.

Destructive buildings and terrain and all that sounds cool, and would be a great addition to most servers. But few servers are dedicated PvP (though that number may go up by a small handfull after PR), so the decision to totally cut off Co-op servers from that content is retarded. If you are only concerned with PvP, why say that your hard work must be left untouched by those who dont want PvP? All that work, and its desired by many, but alienated by you.

Most of the guys on my team were very interested in the work ebanks was doing, and most were looking forward to expanding the number of terrains we had to play on, more variety is always good. Now that terrain will never grace our servers because a selfish few think their work is better than everybody elses.

Get rid of the policy for co-op, or deal with the fickle masses.

Just FYI, thats not the reason for PRs no modding policy.

So if by using PR content to make my own mission wouldn't cause you any undue stress that my slap happy mission with poor scripting is gonna make the PR mod look bad... then why not let me make my mission?

^^Since BIS released the tools to build your own islands, addons, mods, missions... I fail to see the point of your post??!! It's very easy to complain, instead of doing something usefull.

Nice. Could you post up the map specs maybe in your first post? I'm curious as to what size this is at etc etc :)

I understand I'm not entitled to the work of another person, especially when they have no advantage where I do not. I'm not socialist and will not demand to be given something that I did not create. Yes, I could go and build my own island and play on it. It would most likely look like a giant dog turd because of my lack of skill and time to produce the island. That still is no argument for why I should be able to use ebank's work, nor am i really here to make such an argument. It really is none of our business what he or the mod team he is with does with the work produced by him and the mod. They can keep it in house and never let it see a public server, ever. Cool, whatever... have fun with your shit.

The point is, if they are going to build something, and talk about it like it will be the best thing to ever grace this community, but yet it will only reach a small fraction of the community. Then why not release it wholesale to the rest of the community for them to use and drool over like the retards co-op players appear to be to these people?

I'd like to point out that my interest in this map has gone from 0 to 100 now that it's to be included in PR. I'm not normally at all interested in custom maps because of the rarity of arriving at a supporting multiplayer server with the permitted addon loaded, as part of the PR mod I can now look forward to playing Wardak wherever and whenever I join a PR server. Great move!

You want resistence gazzthompson? you got it:

Ive played PR for BF2, while saying that, it was a great mod for a community without co-op. Think about all the possibilities Units and groups would have if PR focused on the more populated side of the ArmA community? Life would be so much grander to the point I may not leave my house aside to go to school. Now you may ask, "If you played PR for BF2 why are you so against it?". Answer is simply as Big Mac and Gnat had stated: Cookie-cutting communities does not gain you friends. Also, how can you make a Mil-Sim game more realistic? You cant! I'd honestly rather pay for the British DLC than download this becuase it will not restrict my Co-Op play, all respects to ebanks for his decision to join the PR team, bravo for him! Im seriously happy he did becuase he is now part of 2 major modifications (as far as know). But my resistence against PR will not die. And no it is not a sarcastic comment to say the PR Devs act like they own the place or have gods gift in modding.

Regards.

Tyler, sounds like all your problems are solved by simply not downloading PR.

Also, how can you make a Mil-Sim game more realistic? You cant!

Don't agree with that one bit, see some ACE features for one quick example.

All the best with the map ebanks. I look forward to seeing more progress.

What community ?

I see just bickering trolls.

First post I made here in 6 years (although I read plenty) .... just have to say what a shame to see "the community" has gone. Not the spirit of OFP I remember.

I agree i may have mis-interpreted what i my self typed and processed out of my own mind.....but why make a mod specificaly for PvP when most of the community lies in Co-Op?

Keep on processing tyler, how about because it's what they like playing and/or because it is currently so poorly provided for. Innovation.

Thanks for the personal insult, i am simply stating my own opinion and as ive said on the other thread (the actual PR thread) we are entitled our opinions, whether they are, regretfully, positive or negative. Next time try it without being insulting. I am fully aware of the definition of the word Innovation.

Dissagree on everypoint. you can easily make a mil-sim game more realistic, including ArmA. especially when it comes to gameplay.

PR has come along and has said, "hi we are making a PvP mod". its that simple, if you have no interest in playing a PvP mod dont play it? i really dont see the point in this.

Ive played PR for BF2, while saying that, it was a great mod for a community without co-op.

That makes no sense. 1. It dose feature Co-op 2. BF2 is all about the PvP

we are entitled our opinions, whether they are, regretfully, positive or negative.

You are entitled to your opinion, but even Placebo has said that the threads are owned by their respective creators, and the creators have respectfully said 'stuff it, we don't really care what you think - we're going to finish this project' so, respectfully, stuff it.

As has been said many times before: don't like it? Vote with your bandwidth. Don't download it.

Wardak_Region is now being developed for and with the Project Reality Mod. :)

Wardak Region - Based on actual satellite and terrain data of a 20 km x 20 km square area in the Wardak Province of Central Afghanistan.

Contains valleys, mountains, densely populated vegetation in the valleys..a pretty nice diverse terrain. Chosen out of pure randomness.

Pics will be up soon with the latest PR News:)

As far as real life Wardak. US Army occupies the area as well as Turkish ISAF. Though im not sure about that these days.

one known FOB in the province is FOB Airborne.

Nowhere in that opening statement do I see the words "please feel free to continue the petty bickering and ranting about the PR mod and how they choose to create their mod" so cut it out now please, this thread is for discussing Wardak and Wardak only, off topic posts can and will lead to infractions and/or post restrictions, if you don't wish to discuss Wardak then you shouldn't be posting here, the end.

I back you man!

ebanks maps are probably the best for my personal taste. He is sharing his work with everyone in the way he feels its the best. We need to respect this.

You have the right to demand improvements from BI, because you pay for their games, but this guy is using massive amounts of his time to release this for the community for free. Men, Ebanks is a fucking hero, bend your knees, you trolls.

We should be thanking him and not acting like a bunch of vulptures. I guess Opterix had a similar problem with demanding trolls, and as a consequence there are no more of his amazing maps anymore. What a team they would have been opterix and ebanks...!!!

Respect for ebanks
