i heard this map is being 'looked at' for 1.1

in my opinion, its a good map, but it lacks something special. i cant quite put my finger on it, the textures...teh lighting and atmosphere...the size and layout....i dunno...its all a bit plain...nothing really interesting...i reckon if it gets the right treatment, it should turn out a good solid map. glider is a great map after months and years of evolution and it works perfectly and is interesting...it has that special something.

railroad 2 has that special something that people love. campagne has that something. but flugplatz is lacking that 'something' that makes it a great map.

is the current custom map the one they are looking at? or has fuzzdad changed it a bit? like glider...it needs to evolve.

fuzzdad made it? No wonder it got in;) is railroad2 getting into 1.1 or 1.2? I know campagne was already confirmed for 1.2.

It's in...it's changed...it's darker...it's spookier...it's a flag-cap map (no primary objectives)...but it has a lot of stuff to blow up...it's Allied paratroopers vs Axis paratroopers...it has...something special...there are some screens here. (http://www.kraut-mapworks.de/) It's still easy to navigate, it's still hard to defend flags, I think it's the only night map now in release, it's very fast for a large map (full size of the grid), and it's pretty balanced. It's been tested to death up on several of my favorite sites, there should not be any sticky spots (although I'm sure someone will find any that are in the map) and it's completely different in tone than the one that was released to the custom servers.

Kleinluka completely re-textured it and did a great job plus the look is intentionally bland...it's an industrial park (although I did add in some contrast that the released version lacks).

You can fly the jets, drive the tank, parachute...hrmmm...sorry...that's the next version of the map...

Having played and tested this map thoroughly, I can tell you its a blast. It's fast-paced, w/ lots of candy. Plus, this will be one of the rare maps that is enhanced by nighttime lighting.

It looks like in a few of those pics there was a point based light coming out of no where??? From the sky perhaps? It was shining down on one of the flags... out of NOWHERE?!?!

Axis para vs Allied para = good idea.

I didn't find it very interesting as a rail gun war, brits vs germans.

I look forward to this new version though, sounds better.

Yea...so sue me. I highlighted all the flags so you could see them...actually...I figured someone would point this out and I had thought about adding in a spotlight-kinda thing but didn't want to waste any more brush faces...I tried like hell to keep the r_speeds down and epolies under 4000 and as such some things are sacrificed in thine r_speed/performance name.

Wait...maybe there's this invisible-beam-secret-weapon-thing the Germans have they are testing here? I think the invisible searchlights are attached to those anti-tank dogs who take direction from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS...Ohhh...wait...that's the version of this I did for RTCW....

I would really appreciate if you stoped spreading false rumors.
Xerent does not work at Troika Games like you said
and Campagne has not been confirmed for 1.2 - It's being considered but it's not in yet.
Stop it. Once and for all.

What have you been smoking? It's not "confirmed" it's being considered. Just because a map is being considered does not mean it will be official.
