New Multiplayer Maps

[luthier]

Hi everyone,

As you probably know by now, Cliffs of Dover will ship with five maps - one large English Channel map with France and England intended for historical missions, and four small multiplayer maps not based on any historical locations meant for less meaningful online free-for-alls.

Our community, being our community, was not entirely happy with this.

We will be happy to create a few simpler maps intended for more meaningful multiplayer modes, that is, something suitable both for FFA and for coop/war modes.

We will work to create these maps quickly, so expect more of a "inspired by xxx" than "meticulously recreated xxx" in terms of historical accuracy.

This is your chance to offer your opinion and ask for content.



The ideas we have so far were:

A. 1/2 or 1/4 version of the "Channel Jump" - scaled down map based on the region around Dover and Calais.

B. Battle of France-esque map focusing on some existing land battle area with airfields from two sides not split by water.

Please sound off on these or suggest your own!


Some details of these future maps:

1. They will not be meticulously historically accurate, nor will they be as detailed as the English Channel map.

2. Their size would ideally be no more than about 100x100 km.

3. They should not require new landscape textures, objects, or trees, i.e. they cannot be desert or snow or jungle.

4. They do not have to be historical. But if they are, they have to make sense with our existing plane set.
