I'm working on an updated version of Berezne and was wanting to get some opinions on some changes I'm thinking of making.

1. I'm thinking of extending the fog draw distance by 20m or so and am wondering if I should make the snipers pick-up kit only. Or should I just keep the fog and sniper kits the way they are?

2. I'm wanting to add mobile arty to the map (mostly for the sound and overall war-like feel it gives to the battlefield), but I dont want it to be an uber pwning platform... Should I...

a. Make it so the arty is located way in the back in a "corral" that it cannot drive out of so that all the flags are ~600m - 900m away...making it more difficult to make accurate shots. If done this way I would make it where the respawn time on the arty is the normal 30 seconds or so.

b. Allow the arty to roam as usual, but increase the respawn time to a much longer interval, maybe 5 minutes or longer, to make it unwise to bring it to the front.

c. Leave it out entirely...mobile arty is not a good idea on this map.


3. I've noticed that some people are not too fond of the 16 player flag layout with only 3 capturable flags. Should I leave it the same or use the following layout.



Please post any alternate layouts or ideas.


Here is a log of some of the more important changes that I've already made.

64 player:

--added arty smoke for commander...

--moved barriers at rear exits of main bases to allow an extra escape route in case camping occures.

--Added an extra boat per side near the main bases.

--added a ladder to the side of each large river bridge.

32 player: nothing important enough to mention...should I add CO smoke on this size too?

16 player: nothing yet...flag layout pending.

Global:

--Added a couple more paths to the bluff line...one just east of the Farm flag...and one between the Lumbermill and the Watermill.

There are lots of other minor tweaks and general polishing not worth mentioning.

If you guys have any other ideas or suggestions please post them or PM them to me.

I also want to thank you guys for giving custom maps a chance and allowing them to be a regular part of your map rotation...Its good feeling knowing that people are enjoying themselves on a map I made.

Seeya on the Battlefield.
