Yeah that is pretty impressive - cleverly designed for co-op/TvT scenarios too.

It's Pretty - about the same size as Stratis... but bland as...

No land features to speak of, all the terrain is super smooth - looks like it's been sanded... Compared to the complex texture and dynamic landscape of the current map we're running; Kunduz - it isn't a patch on it in my opinion.

Well put together and GREAT frames... but borrring...

I'm with SerJames on this one: It looks very good, in most places at least as good as the vanilla A3 maps and in some places quite significantly better but it's a mixed bag
  • + It's a super tiny download (144MB since it's all just vanilla objects)
  • + The military bases on it are set up way better than BI's bases
  • - It's very similar to Altis, to a point where I was watching the video and in the beginning thought I was looking at parts of Altis and the whole thing was just a joke video
  • - Like the vanilla maps, it suffers from lack of micro-terrain i.e. it's all super-smooth terrain with very little to hide behind
  • - and, in the same vein, it suffers from "pretty place syndrome": The locations look good but they don't seem to be designed for gameplay
Given that it's only 144MB it might be worth adding some time in the future, when we haven't just played 5+ OP's on Altis - maybe by then the map author will have improved the gameplay features a bit :)
