UPDATE
This will now be Khimera Trilogy featuring Khimera: Beach Head Assault, Khimera: Islands(formerly Khimera: Jungle) and a new Khimera Jungle



Gosh it's been a long time since I even took some time to think about this map and well that thinking has encouraged me to give this map a long awaited face lift. I don't have any of the sourcefiles so I'm going on memory and actually playing the map and I have to say so far the newer version is looking pretty sweet. For all of you who are not familiar with Khimera check it out
HERE
For those of you who are well then you're in for something. The new version will feature all the little tricks I've learned in mapping with better lighting, better environment, and better gameplay, also 3 more custom sides will be added along with a massive cut in file size. Also there was something about the old one that I really didn't like maybe the emptyness or sort of pieced togetherness of it that just didn't feel right. It is still my first map and my favorite so re making it will definitely be fun. Here are reference pics from the old one (more pics are in the link above)
And here are actual pictures from the new Version

Sunny Rain Cloudy and more pics I chose the cloudy one just cause it's my favorite and makes for a good glamor shot Mind you the vehicles will be the same the units however will be the ones I've used for my most recent maps.

If there is anything you wanted to see in the first version please post it

I don't have version 1 of this map, but the remake looks much better than the old version.
I like the new atmosphere.

Looking good. Nice use of barricades.

Looks very nice. The build of the map seems a bit upgraded. Are you using newer models? Or the same models?

It looks really nice, I agree with Grev, but on the second pic of the new version, one of the broken huts in the background is floating. Other than that, can't wait to play it!

Wow, that's great. Loved the original Khimera, and I'm glad to see yyour remaking and improving it.

Same as he said.

I think you could add some of those concusion cannons from kashyyk for the "defenders", artillery fire would improve the atmosphere and give the "attackers" another thing to watch for; that could unbalance the battle, though.

Good luck, YaNkfaN.

something new and original by yank, always a good map this one actually looks really good, cant wait for it

This was one of my favorite ones u did. Good work!

yes and no same models using the BF2 textures instead of the BF1 may make completely custom textures though

I was planning on a lot more "machine gun" like guns then before that sort of rain fire down on you

one of the broken huts in the background is floating.

realized that just as soon as i posted the pics It has been fixed

also should i stick with the skins made in version 1 (all white)
or make completely new skins

You know, I actually have some skins for making BF1 huts look like BF2 textures, but I never got the chance to implement them. Do you want them?

I'll see if I can get MshViewer shots for you.

It looks like a great map, too.

Great, I loved the first map. Can't wait for this one!

Are you planning on on making a campain with this one? (question, not advice). I think that would be really cool. It is looking good, the sound of machine gun fire sounds good, when shots hit the water it looks pretty good. Good luck!

sure send me the textures I'll take a look at them right now in the new pics you see the BF2 textures on the BF1 huts in the old version it was the original bf1 textures

So this is an update to the previous version? Looks great!

Skins sent . Check your Email, Yank.

Hey Yank, will you also be doing a more updated one of Khimera: Jungle as well?

I'm not sure possibly I actually liked that map even though it is ugly I still think it's pretty fun to play

This looks interesting Yankfan but fun

Another fine map -- but I have to say I'm most excited about Ryloth and Thule.
