Discussion: Battlefield 2142 / Battlefield 2142 - General Discussion - Maps and what they can be played as. - I was going to post this in "You make the rotation" thread but its off
I was going to post this in "You make the rotation" thread but its off track and I'm not ready yet to post my rotation so here it goes here.
Lorax and the powers to be.
I'm wondering if you can explain the different types of maps and which ones can be played as Titan. The map I have had the most intense game play is Belgrade I think its my favorite by far, where all the flags are neutral and both sides have to rush and capture as many flags as possible, there is always a lot of action on that map. The other 2 map that are like this are Highway Tamp and Shuhia Taba for armour maps and of course all the Titan maps.
Now is that possible to play other maps like that. For example Cerbere, Camp Gibraltar, Fall of Berlin, and Minsk. From my experience playing these maps the most intense fighting comes after you get past that horrible choke point. As well is there any way we can combine mini Tunis and Regular Tunis, so we can have a MEGA Tunis, imagine the buggy races we would have with that one.
I know there is;
- Conquest,
- Assault (Lines??)
- Titan
- no vehicles( New with 1.5 patch)
I'm aware that there is a story behind each map and one side is defending and the other side is assaulting. I've heard in Team Speak something a long these lines, "if we change how the maps are play then that map won't be ranked". If so do you think the players would mind playing a Mega Tunis around knowing they won't get points for it, but just to have a good time on a big infantry type of map, or have Cerbere, Gibraltar, Berlin or Minsk played like Belgrade, Highway Tamp and Shuhia Taba for armour maps ?
Just Something I been thinking about and wonder if its all possible?
I think it would be ok to pipe up in your thread to say....
I've played Port Bavaria Titan... and that map was hella fun. I have not seen this type of map in rotation ever, on the second server. Just Conquest. So I few people, if any, know it even exists.

You won't see it on the main server because its a Northern Strike map, and not everyone has that upgrade, that is why its on the second server. Its more of an assault or is it a conquest map... I'm confused....laffs the Titans are there just as part of the scenery and to confuse you.. laffs

It used to be in the rotation, I don't know why it isn't anymore.

Dammit Stark, you gave me a craving for some Mega Tunis.
I can see it now, a U-shaped map - each other's uncaps in plain view of one another... and no boats. That would make for one hell of an above-river standoff.
Unless someone is willing to make it, there is no way to combine tiny tunis (16p) with regular tunis (32+p).
Any changes to the server that would cause it to go unranked would affect the whole rotation, not just a single map. Either the server is running ranked or it is not, can't mix it up.

The following maps can be played in titan mode
Minsk, Shuhia Taiba, Sidi Power Plant, Suez Canal, Verdun, Highway Tampa, Bridge At Remagen(NS) and Port Bavaria(NS)
The only thing that can be changed on any map is the ticket count and doing so will make the server unranked. This can also only be done for all maps in the rotation it is not possible to change a specific map.
The other types of changes you talk about would require a mod to be installed both on the server and on each client.
The game modes are:
Conquest - There are two types of conquest. Conquest: head-on which are where the flags start neutral like Belgrade or Tunis. Conquest: Assualt is where one team starts with just their uncap and the other team has all the other flags like Berlin or Gibraltar. Note that both types are just conquest (gpm_cq) in the rotation. Also Note that there is also a seperate Game Mode that is called Conquest Assualt.
Assualt lines - These are the three NS maps and with a slight twist Highway Tampa. With the exception of Tampa these are like Conquest Assualt except that the defending team's main base is locked until all other flags are captured. On Tampa both teams have a locked base and the middle flags start neutral like Conquest Headon.
Conquest Assualt - This is Wake Island
Titan Mode
No Vehicles - Any Conquest Map can be played with No Vehicles. This doesn't change anything else on the map except removing the vehicles.

Yeah I know it would be very cool!!! Flag postions could be in different locals, It might be big enough for an air transport..... Hmmm would it be big enough to play as a Titan mode? Laffs
Bravo Microsoft, you have now surpassed EA in poor decisions and once and for all seized the crown for the worst 'Reveal' ever. That EA were standing there on the stage with you when you did it was...

It is not often that I encounter across myself when researching a topic. I found the following in a recent article on the uses of ethnography in virtual environments:

Took a gamble and got a refurbished 30 GB OCZ Vertex 1 off of NewEgg for the low, low price of $30. Had some trouble getting the drive to be recognized by Windows or by my BIOS. Had to use a jumper...
