City map - SA_Refinery

[Pytak]

Basically it IS a man site.

1, 3, 4: It is a map from Crysis, I didn't make it from scratch - i just replaced Crysis' base buildings with MWLL's, along with removing some low clearance structures too low for mechs to pass. Other than that, the map was made by Crysis developers and I didn't tweak it in any way - it was meant to be a quick proof of concept of how would a city map work for MWLL. This means rain on this map is a bit glitchy in Crysis too (it's raining inside buildings and some objects not exposed to rain have the "wet" effect on them).

2. That's simply because the map is so tiny. There's probably no way to upscale the map image displayed on MWLL hud.

5. Since it's a Crysis map, objectives there are pretty much pointless in MWLL  You can capture a bunker by walking inside and staying there for a while, and after that your team mates can spawn there (just like an APC) - until the other team captures it. You can also simply ignore them.

I haven't played the map yet, but it looks pretty cool. Is there anyway you could duplicate the square section of city that it has, and then paste that 3 times to make a much bigger map? Sure it would look same-y, but it could be interesting to see what tactics develop with a bit more room to maneuver.

son and i tested it out..  seems to be really bad with mechs,,  poptarting being the only viable option..

ba heaven ..   which my son loved..

It looks awesome, and is a real good sample of what a decent city map could be like. However, it needs more routes of travel, and some more open areas which don't limit your movement so much, to be viable for any real team games.

It's a great start mate, and we might end up using it for some 1v1's possibly at some point =)

It's hosted on the servers that Finalizer and me sometimes put up. Sebben & Sebben, and I STAPLE TAPEWORMS ON MY PENIS, respectively.

I've currently made two versions of the map: A Mech only Solaris Arena version to focus on close-quarters combat in tight spaces, and a BA only Team Solaris Arena for all the little BA players to frolic in. Since I've just realized the .cry files for the original Crysis Wars maps are actually included with the game (hurr), I'm currently in the process of taking that original map and redesigning it for the BA-only TSA map (It has some nifty little areas that would be a pain to restore manually, and the process should be a quick fix-up). The SA map, which is based on Pytak's (T)SA version, is basically finished, and I'll release both at once some time in the near future.

TBH, BA really aren't all that OP in the Solaris Arena version from the times I've played on it - it's just that it's far too tempting to run around as BA in a setting perfectly designed for that unit, and I wanted that map to focus on the difficulty of properly manuvering a Mech in such confined spaces. Hence, the split into two different maps.
