Afghanistan Green Zone 10km Island WIP

[arb 11]

arb: please check the grass I see in your wip shots - I'm using the same "autumn" grass for new Panthera and this type cannot be "crushed" to ground by rolling on ground?

it does on mine when you roll.

After:

I'm using clutter: "ca\plants2\clutter\c_GrassAutumn_t.p3d"

[jhoson14 10]

Arb, i have a question.

After showing this mapp to a friend, he asked me:

This great map will be featured on a Mod or will released the map to every one like other islands?

Ty in advance :D

BTW...Awesome JOB!!

Hey arb sorry you aint seen anything from me recent i have been reteaching myself how to model but expect some stuff next week becuase i have next week off work :)

Ps. arb thats looking bloody fantastic

[Schancky 10]

Looks bloody sweet arb! nice work mate!

[joeanorak 1]

Arb, hugely looking forward to this. Was particularly pleased to see drainage ditches making an appearance and from the recent screenies the micro-terrain is something sadly lacking in most maps. One quick suggestion reference compounds, is there any scope to have some walls with loopholes for use as firing points?

[sic-disaster 311]

I know, without community this game would be dead in 14 days :)

Every game without a community dies in 14 days :p

It is highly possible.

This is looking absofreakinlutely awesome. Been playing a lot of custom missions on Razani using CAA1, but looking forward to having some more varied Afghan terrain that has all the Arma2 prettiness, the insane level of terrain detail only looks to make it even better for infantry and small arms combat! :D

Roll on the search and destroy missions!

So.

Cannot.

Freaking.

Wait.

:D
