Masirah

Post by Outlawz7 »

We are pleased to announce that a new map will be featured in the next content patch for Project Reality.

Masirah, based on the real life location of the same name, is a map by Rabbit that has been sitting on the bench for a while. Thanks to some free time during lockdown we've been able to bring the map up for inclusion.

Aside from a new locale we're also introducing some new gameplay features. Main bases for both teams are, currently lacking a proper model, a Mistral class lookalike carrier situated outside of the map, similar to Falklands. It will be up to both French and MEC teams to utilise their air and waterborne assets to reach the mainland.
To deal with base protection in outside terrain we've now implemented a Python-based DOD system coded by
[R-DEV]AlonTavor that replaces the vanilla DOD system which otherwise doesn't work in outside terrain. The end result is roughly a 6x4km playable area seen below with adequate base protection for both teams.

Nice!!
With this concept of no fixed landbase for both teams, I think CnC would actually be a very valid and interesting gamestyle.

Maybe cool to test with a dedicated event?

It will take forever for amphibious vehicles to reach the shore and from there, the frontline. Consider this.

Also, I suggest swapping MEC for China, MEC is overused and widely disliked. Besides, China is about to get 2 new LHDs.

That is why BMP-2M has 10 minute respawn time.

Yeah that's cool. I mean it would be interesting to see whether there will be an effect that one team can set up in the urban areas and the other in the desert areas.

Well on Pavlovsk APCs start their engagement while still in the water and the distance on Muttrah is shorter and travelled quicker as AAVP is pretty fast in water and has 7,5 minute respawn, plus Muttrah is 2k and Pavlovsk up until now has been the only such map.

In any case, seeing same bluefor factions fighting same opfor factions over and over again got too boring for me. Why won't we see FR fighting GB? Or GER fighting PL? And I'm not talking just about this map, but all maps. It's like we are being denied any new unique experience. There's just nothing to see, just another "russia+china+mec bad" "nato good". I can tell that the map is good as i've played it on local, but as a player I got too tired of repetitiveness, even though this game stands out in that regard.

Maybe you should make a map then and use those factions.

Do you have numbers on how MEC is widely disliked.

We have like 4 French maps right now and only a single one with French vs MEC, so this is hardly the same BluFor as on everything else.
