Why is IA drang still in PRV

I am just curious.


I find it the most boring map in PR.



(I know a lot of other people find it very boring too)

It's just the same old tactics. Over and over again!!! At least update it with a village near US command or SOMETHING.



They should have scraped IA Drang since it only took like 2 days to make the flippen map.
Dien Dong was definently the better nam map.

I disagree with you. It's fantastic to have a map without urban areas.

Um, wut? Its an awesome map, many people love it. If a reason for taking a map out of PR is that it is repetitive then you probably should make a thread about Muttrah city or Kashan, those maps always play out the same.

I don't even
"It's just the same old tactics. Over and over again!"
- Yeah 90% of all pr maps are like that so thats a lame reason to remove the map.
"Hey guys remove kashan and muttrah...and Ghost Train..and every other map in the game because its just the same tactics all the time!!!"
- That is basically what you just said, no offence
"at least update it with a village near US command or SOMETHING. "
- NO. Nowhere in any pictures or the movie "we Were Soldiers" do you see a village near the US command
"They should have scraped IA Drang since it only took like 2 days to make the flippen map."
- Good thing you know how long it took to make, sounds easy with two days so just add a small village there yourself lol, also pretty sure it took more than 2 days(i don't know, but pretty sure)
"Dien Dong was definitely the better nam map."
- I disagree, its the same thing, same tactics just less helicopters

And its like one of the best nam maps in PR in my opinion, i love that map :D

I also disagree, its a great map and I would be disappointed if it was taken out.

I don't much enjoy the large 4km maps where infantry mostly serves as targets, spotters for assets or resources used for capping points, but I wouldn't ask the DEVs to take them out because I find them boring as hell.

I think its a somewhat bad map, but why remove it, it pisses off the people who love it! Bringin back Dien Duong would be amazing however.

i kinda agree with the OP, but i wouldn't want to remove la drang...it's still fun occasionally. i really really liked dien dong, hopefully it will come back someday.

If enough people agree with Dien Duong, I could try to dig it up in the archives.

Imo add one or 2 more jeeps to nva



And bring dien dong back!!!!

A 2km > 4km overhaul would be pretty neat.

Ia Drang is easily my favorite Vietnam map. I think it's the most balanced and fun to play compared to the others.

Ia Drang is one of my favorites. In 0.98 and 1.0.

PPsH + Bushes are just pure awesomeness. Some epic firefights there around all three flags. Epic flanking, maneuvering, hiding, counter-attacking possibilities.

I wish it would be played more often. I'd prefer it over Khamisiyah 5 out of 10 times.

it was one of the best Vietnam maps plus it had an insurgency layout.
