[WIP]Strike At Karkand 2

Take a look, drop a line with some comments.

Map Description:
With the occupation of US forces in southern and northern Karkand the Middle Eastern Coalition has called upon tribes from the mountains to rally together and take back the city. The MEC army fueled by the US occupation of their city has created a complex within the Eastern mountain range of Karkand. The terrain around northern Karkand is desolate. It would be strategic suicide for US forces to make an advance on the MEC mountain fortress. Here US commanders will have to wage the cost and gain of controlling northern Karkand. US and MEC forces will have to devise a strategy to control the river and both sides of the city surrounding it.

I have created a .psd image to help others with creating menumaps more easily. It will help you to create a menumap which mimics the stock menumaps appearance. Take a look

[Cicchetti]

wow looks awsome!

[jayhigh]

I Say Be Original

[yig]

I say thanks. Screenies look HAWT. Keep it up.

[=tGA=Harry]

Looks Great! :)
But why not call it "Assault on Karkand", "Showdown in Karkand" or something instead?

[Flatline_hun]

Maybe you should create a Strike at Karkand 2 light edition. Without armor at all. Kickass infantry map!

[CRuDE<LTG>]

So how close to release is this map??
I have submitted the final version to TotalBF2 for judging. Once I hear more I'll be sure to update everyone.


Looks Great!

Good Question, When I first started this map it was based on the idea that this map was going to be designed as if it was north of Karkand. I had some other ideas for map names after I had already started, however I found out later that changing the map name is a task in itself so I just stuck with 'Strike At Karkand 2'. Plus now when server admins need to put it in their rotation it will be right next to the original! :cool:

I say thanks. Screenies look HAWT. Keep it up.
Thanks for the comments man they are appreciated.

I Say Be Original
I know, I know. Another damned karkand styled map...:cool: Download it and see if it reminds you of Karkand or if it just has a faint resemblence of it. Comments are appreciated though.

Thanks again for the comments,

wow, offering that based from some screenshots and even before the map has been released. I must say you put alot of thought and effort into what goes into that magazine ;)

side note: from what i know it is a good map to put on it, TAW_DaSniper and AlphaMRE seem to like it as... no comment. I have the ability to test it out myself though but havent done so yet.

Cool Deal, Can't wait to hear back from the TotalBF2 team! Thanks again for hosting this contest.

Please Note:
The images which are linked in the post above have been disabled for the time being. There was an issue at BF2Combat.net and I am very close to toping my bandwidth limit with my current host. I will be seeking a new host for the images ASAP. Thanks.

CrimsonBlaze, I've been playing the map with the Planet Combat Tour of Duty folks since Friday.

[CRuDE<LTG>]

Unfortunately, the map does not fit the contest guidelines for TotalBF2s Map Contest, you will be able to see it in the upcoming map-pack however.

I will update with more information as I receive it.

Thanks,

[Sovetskeey]

Links are broken now.

[KillerPlatypus]

For some reason whenever I click the screenshots or the download link, it always says it can't be found and that I'll be returned to the JuNN homepage. The comments being made make it worse that I can't download it.

[KillerPlatypus]

Oh didn't see the other posts of other people saying that too. <_<

[Johnny Bravo]

[CRuDE<LTG>]

Thanks go to DaSniper_Taw for re-hosting these images as a mirror. I was forced to take down the images due to bandwidth overusage at my website.

-Jaret 'CRuDE<LTG>'

[FordMustang]

well the dl still isnt working, but is there any way you could get it into a .EXE, beacus eim bad at .zip and the unpacking and unzipping and its hard

Hey, once the BF2Combat.net Contest is closed and the results are listed I will have an auto-install version available for download. Also if the TotalBF2 map team goes the same route as the first map pack then you will also be able to attain this map through their Second map pack with an easy install method.

Stay tuned for further information about this.

Side Note: If you are refering to the file in the original post with the combat zone .psds. I will have them back online once I get a chance to have it hosted at a site which can handle the bandwidth.

Thanks,
-Jaret 'CRuDE'

[FordMustang]

cool cant wait to get it.

[stuartx13]

I will host your map as long as it has a self installer.

[[LRRP]50Euro]

Awesome Man!! Keep It Going!!

[mursht]

[Wardog1368]

Karkland meets mashtuur meets Gulf meets Sharqi!
Wow I love it like a big map Orgy.

[SgtMaj.Sudano]

Wow, Great work there. It almost looks like a mix of all the Mec. vs, US. maps, probably just because of the models, (not that that is a bad thing) but great detail.

[Xicer]

Strike at the Gulf of Mashtuur Peninsula!

[GH0ZT]

Dude awesome!!! I want to play those right now!!!

[SgtMaj.Sudano]

Strike at the Gulf of Mashtuur Peninsula!

Great idea lol.

[antoine]

Wow, solid stuff

[Johnny Bravo]

so is it done yet?

[CRuDE<LTG>]

The level design has been completed. Once the Map Contests have finished the judging of the map entries the map will be released to the public. TotalBF2 will have it available in the upcoming 'MapPack 2'. It will also be available to download at a few other locations which I will post here in this thread once the contests finish. Hopefully this will be finished up this week.

I can't wait to get this map to the public. Stay tuned for more info!

[s2]

Karkand=fav Map!!!
Thank U!

[xXMMMSXx]

Looking very nice indeed.

The design and layout look neat and it doesn't look like you have whored any one feature too many times.

I'm looking forward to playing this.

[virtualinsanity]

Some very annoing bugs :(
1.Text of places dont displaing correct
2.On some roof you can lie down and shot through walls / Floors etc
good camping places ;)

[FordMustang]

and some places u cant shoot through air.....

[CRuDE<LTG>]

Sorry about the late reply, yeah unfortunately some of the models in BF2 have colision meshes which are used on multiple buildings/objects.

Hope you all enjoyed the creation, If you have a chance take a look in Computer Gaming World magazine issue 258 (Page 53). There is an article on the map creation and some hints for gameplay.
