[Gore]

A little something I put together last night. A tribute to PR.

[Hulabi]

hmm.. did PR really have those maps before? started playing at 0.86 so i dont know really But if they were, why were they taken off then? I mean snow / night maps would kick ***.

[Gore]

Yes. Indeed it would kick ***, I believe Jabal and Basrah night are being made, don't know if they will make it though.

[billdan]

great nostalgia clip!
just needs a better ending

[Chuc]

A great overview of mapping history of PR

[CareBear]

very nice indeed

[dbzao]

People can't complaint there weren't many maps

[goguapsy]

why did they remove those maps? they look so cool, like Operation Phoenix and the many other ones, and night maps!...


P.S. Al Bashrah... had an A-10??? was that even playable by the insurgents??

[Zrix]

Very nice vid, thanks for that retro trip

[ma21212]

greasy mullet...i wanna play dmmit

[NyteMyre]

P.S. Al Bashrah... had an A-10??? was that even playable by the insurgents??

Bashrah had A10 and Cobra in 0.5, but back then it was still all about capping flags.

And Jungle Fever was THE map that sold me to PR
PATROL BOAT !!!!!!!!!!! COVER!

[MaxBooZe]

That was nostalgic, I remember all of the awesome games I had on basrah 0.4/5 and some of those awesome oldtimer maps.. *sigh*

[HunterMed]

yup some cool memories on those maps... although I dont remember all of them

[Zeno]

i would love to update some of theese maps to pr 0.9 standard!!!

sad that we lost so many chinamaps and other awsome maps

[Gore]

I actually ran into a 0.5 server a few days ago and played there a little, but it isn't there anymore.

[Outlawz7]

Seeing the old 0.5 maps brought a tear to my eye.

And 0.5 Basrah was in theory unplayable since USMC had so much air and ground power, but it was balanced by the fact that everyone soloed tanks and teamkilled each other over the A10

[Anhkhoa]

You can really see the difference in mapping styles and innovations.
The pre- 0.809 maps use vBF2 undergrowth and buildings and have the feeling of Karkand, while the newer ones have different feelings and look entirely different from vBF2.

[Sidewinder Zulu]

Why were those maps taken out?
They look awesome!

[Adriaan]

Steel Thunder and Op. Compton look very cool .
Nice vid, as well for people like me who joined after most of those maps where removed

[bosco_]

Oh the memories.
