Will we ever get to see the awesome piracy map? I saw some one making the map some years ago, it was about somalian pirates. There were plenty of container ships in the sea and a big strip of somalian homeland with smugglers-hideouts.
This would be a total different kind of gameplay and would add a fresh breeze to the gameplay. But I heard that the guy who made it retired. Will it be picked up again in any time?

Btw, someone asked in a thread about new maps coming up, now I'll just ask in his place.
Which will probably the next maps to be added in the next big release?

Have you ever considered doing a version of a map set in another time, like Operation Barracuda? Like bijar '73 or Silent Eagle '83 Alot of the stuff is already in PR, atleast as for Bijar '73

You are correct. That mapper retired. I contacted him a year ago or so and he said he lost all of his map files after a hard drive crash... so there is no map to pick up and finish unfortunately.

As for future maps, we always have maps in production and we anticipate releasing several over the next few months but that's all we can say for now.

What a pity :/
Thanks for the answer!

Do you have any plans in drastically changing/removing the civilian kit on Insurgency?

It's a collaborator, not a civilian .
And there are no plans to drastically change it. At least not at this point.

'[R-DEV wrote:AFsoccer;1978541']Our stats showed that MEC was winning that layer 70% of the time. That change was to seek balance. Remember that the BMP-2M can shoot its TOW while moving, and maybe that was too much of an advantage for MEC with no tanks or jets to hinder their dominance.

But we'll continue to monitor win results and see if the change helped or if something else needs tweaking. It's not a perfect science. LOL

30mm MTLB... BMP2 without the ATGM..

Well, it's broken as fuck. You'd be given permission to blow the brains out of a person if he's looking at you with binoculars in an area where you are taking fire from. You should seriously consider taking a look at it. Give him a gun and the same status as everyone else, problem solved.

False, you can not do that anymore, RoEs do not allow it.

Do you mean the ingame RoEs have changed or real world ones?

Real world.

Not that it actually matters, but when did they change that?

It's still horrible though. Civilians jumping into empty Garys who then drive towards armor, the armor kills the Gary and all the civilians sitting in the back. Civilians standing in front of people with RPGs, making it next to impossible to kill the armed person. There are countless things the civilians can exploit to make the enemies kill them.

The only role the civilian has today is to piss the enemies off, which ends with the Blufor team killing them, which again leads to no intel and a loss.

There was a suggestion thread about this recently. I'm very interested in the topic, but I think you've gotten your Dev answer - at least for now. I invite you to carry the discussion over to the Suggestions, where I also posted about this recently. Perhaps we can come up with a good alternative other than 'give him a gun'?

Fair enough, I'll check out the suggestion.

Is there any chance of Project Reality tournaments making a return in the future? It has been a few years now and I am losing all hope!

Project Reality Tournament

Depends on the community. Send a PM to [R-MOD]Spec if you are interested in helping / organising.

Once Mcchrystal was relieved RoEs became much more friendly. I'm not sure about other countries, but for example some countries air support (who shale remain nameless) refused to drop ordinance on people shooting us, and would try and scare them off with flares.

I actually have a video of the first contact in A-stan, Plunging fire from about 1km out, with spotters only about 500m away, and 2 armed "persons" skirting to the south, bounding toward us. Can't remember if in the video if you hear us talk about the spotters, but I do know you can hear us talk about the armed skitters, and do nothing about it because its to risky in our RoEs. Again, these people were armed, and preforming military movements toward us, while in contact, and we were worried it might come back on us because of the RoEs.

Sooooo, all that said, at least in PR you can shoot people like that.

Hello,

I have a question about an next map that belongs to Billoute. If i remeber well, it takes place in West Africa, like Mali, and opposes the French and the ARF.

Is this map canceled ? it has been showed months ago in a PR Highlights topic but i can't find this topic anymore for no reason.

This one ? Drought _ first preview - Project Reality Forums

Yes this one, thank you Rhino !

I hope this map will be feature in next updates.
