The New El Alamien

Post by BoOn »

I dont know if this version is new or was just added back into rotation, but I love it. I usually dont enjoy the DC version of the map but lastnight was fun as hell. It was a shock to alot of players with jets replaced by prop planes and also the presence of 42 tanks but it made a much more enjoyable experience. Kudo's to the creator and the person who put it in rotation!!

With the new version it brings more of the fight to the ground as your not as dominated in a tank by good pilots in the A10 or Frog. Dogfights are alot more fun and intense in prop planes as pilots dont have constant thrust and missles to rely on, you now have to take into account for your thrust while at the same time trying to out smart your opponent for a good firing position.

Excellent Excellent Version Combining 42 with DC!! :D :D

That was all Southern Cross from my understanding. I just decided to run it as it has been a while since I have played it. I enjoyed it too Johnny ... seemed like it went over well except for a few but this people complain alot anyways so it kinda went in one ear and out the other real quick.

Well the one thats on now doesnt seem to be the normal one in rotation either , The normal one the death bubble did not affect the carbombs, This version now does, makes it pretty tuff to get beside a target (SA3) and become a martyr and collect my 70 virgins :cry: lol

But thanks anyways NS for running a different version of the map, was a nice change :)

Its no problem but i must tell you. You are getting screwed in more than one way. 1 you can't get your carbomb close and 2 you only get 70 virgins. The terrorist of today claim to get 72.

Day2 is mainly helicopter like bocage day2.
Day3 is Tank!
Old planes on both maps, SA3s are also in both maps but guided rocket is not active so you don't have to destroy.
Day3 is not a good map that's why it isn't on the rotation :cry: Sometimes game take so long and people become tired. Then they say sucks :) :D I admit it is sucks.
I'll try to change the losing speed of ticket and fix some wrong codes.

any thought to removing the radar(s) from them too SC? I would love to argue to have radar removed from day1 too - but even if it's removed from day2/3 it would bring back some fun sniping at them at least... radar just makes it pointless to snipe - ruins it... :(
or... Is there anyway that you can make a sniper guy invisible to radar like the ribbed boats? that would solve it too...
Thank you SC - I really like that you take special care to keep the teams even with equipment - that makes a LOT of difference in gameplay and enjoyment here... :)

I added UH-60L on blue base by hearing people's voice but I don't want to add apache because they can attack RED from high-altitude with 25mm chain gun.

I hope we dont change it ... It has not been played that many times so we can say we have a real good feel for what it needs. Like the other night red stole the 130 which put blue at a huge disadvantage. The 130 is a high value when you think about it for blue. First andd foremost its a spawn point. 2nd in the right hands you can hold down a flag pretty well at least make it to where people do not want to spawn and then allow your team to come in with minimal resistance. To me in its current configuration it really boils down to which team works together and has the most skill.

SC I like it. If we were to go off of what a map needs only playing it once or twice the only way to solve any dispute would be to give each team the EXACT same thing.

Mustang moving worse than corsair. We can certainly add cluster bomb but I'll never do it because they will get too strong power.

What Johnny said is perfectly same with my opinion.

I'll watch how things go.

SC - I understand we can't 'remove' the radar - but we could remove the vehicles/weapons that have radar is what I was meaning - not just the radar function...

Thank you :D
