So yea i'm kinda back now i've taken a long and sad break from modding but i've had a ton of ideas floating around in my head and this was one of them...so basically, this map is just hardcore BF2 no vehicles (no i will not add them) a few turrets and a lot of infantry...so it's a pure infantry battle...I've also done something that i've really wanted to do for a long time and that's redesign the gameplay of BF2...this is going to be a rant about my philosophies on BF2 gameplay so read on if u wish I feel that BF2 though balanced is so unrealistic so with this map i wanted to make it truer to the movie and star wars in general...first i completely edited healths, speeds, and ammos, of all the rep/cis units. Droids in BF2 are too strong and too slow...the SBD is too weak and fast...so every droid except the SBD has had their health lowered and speed increased...also i edited a lot with the clones making each individual one different and adding a lot more strategy and versitility in the unit that you pick to spawn in as...

now here's the level it takes place on a cliff and it's a huge forest with yavin ruins and a huge kashyyyk canopy i don't think i'm gonna add a imp/all mode and will probably have this up for beta testing by next week at the latest...so yea tell me any ideas questions you have and enjoy the pics

Well, I do have a green galactic marine skin. But it's on my other comp, so you'd have to download it and the other few skins that come with it. http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 64&t=16446

I really loved your work, like.....dang, what was that beach map name again, and Krima jungle...I think I got the name right...anyway, I have a few ideas, like maybe put in a rain storm, make it more cliffy, and give the map a sunseting light. Other then that, why not reskin the droids into something new? Like black camo, blue stripes, or other things like that?

The Return of Yankfan! Loved your maps! You could add a GCW era, since I'm pretty sure there was a battle on Ossus in that time period

offtopic: What happened to the Geonosis map?

Well I'd say I loved your stuff to...except most of the time I didn't know who (you or speck_of_dust) did what bits. But it was great anyway. Gotta say you and speck are in my opinion the second best makers of environments with just stock assets (sorry, no one can beat d3linquent). Anyway good to have you back man.

Just a suggestion for the map: could you try and make it less Yavin-y? maybe reskin the temples or something. Anyway looks good.

It's Khimera Jungle and Khimera Beach....and the droids if anyone wants so submit a skin they can because i really don't want to re-skin them but if someone submits a good camo skin or something i may use it

I am probably not going to add a GCW era just because I really want to perfect CW and I also want to keep the file size down...later I might just do a map GCW only...

the map reminds me on metrion aristan, which was pretty nice
are you going to make large armies as it was always in yours and a_speck_of_dusts maps?

o i didn't kno that i just went on wookiepedia for an unheard of world...also there will be 32 units for the rep and 40 for the cis so it isn't that massive of a battle

doesnt look like the Ossus i know... where are the crumbling remains of jedi libraries, that old tree (ordo baas if i remember rightly?) and the weird semi-jedi race with their funny shamans? oh well. looks cool all the same :wink:

lol unless it's a map in the movie it never looks like the actual world...i looked on wookiepedia and couldn't find any really good likes to stuff so i just made it up i'm probably gonna change the name so it's not a real world...but anyways does anyone have any skins they want me to use...?
