second_coming Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Borneholm is terrible. The only reason it's getting attention is because of Frankie.Altis and Stratis are the only maps with the Arma textures. Stratis is underused due to it being bare, but with some tlc I'm sure it could be brought to life.Those Frankie videos have only been out a couple of weeks and the buzz for Bornholm was happening before they were made. Having played on it myself I must admit it isn't fantastic (not enough towns and villages, just endless fields) but it certainly has some nice features (the wheat fields for instance).

Must've been solitary bees as I only ever saw a handful of people in the servers. Up stepped Francis, and boom, we had a swarm. Anyway, we both agree it's a shit map.

cyncrwler Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I miss Sauerland. With Arma 3 textures it would be pretty epic. I cant stand Chernarus as it's all Arma 2 textures,and the damned buildings are all closed. Now if it was as pretty as standalone, then it would be cool. To me it's all about the visuals. In response to this thread...who cares. In the end, it doesn't even matter. No sense getting all fired up about something you have no control over.

I agree that Bornholm has some issues, namely A2 textures and some of the roads are weird. But the terrain is realistic for the area and is quite varied. There's plenty of places to hide bases and vehicles, which is a stark contrast to Altis where there's a low number of secure places to build.

I must admit I like the feel of the environment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDogs Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 BoredHome would be ok as a vehicular gameplay map. Getting anywhere on foot on that flat, tedious, monotonous, repetitive piece of green and yellow shit, is shit. Unless of course, you're trying to get some shuteye. It's great for making you sleepy.

Tobias Solem Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think Altis is very much underestimated as a map. Yes, it IS a bit flat, and yes it IS a bit big, but other than that; I believe it's the best map for ARMA 3.

SkyDogs Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Altis is great as a desert map. For me, any map deployed on Arma3 has to be made with Arma3 textures. I'd be cool with Chernarus+ , Tavi, Jungle maps, whatever, as long as it was Arma3 textures. Ported = shit. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Also like Altis, and it has to be A3 textures and buildings, not a texture snob but going back is going back :) Bushwick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfer Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Chernarus is Chernarus.. Kinda bored of that... But do miss the green of it on Altis.. Bornhold (or bumhole as we call it) just needs some polishing and building swaps. Its a shame we are not allowed to use Chernarus+ as I do have a copy running on Epoch but was mainly for my own fun/pleasure.. Not sure i get the legal POV of running + if you also own a copy of SA.. but hay ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Solem Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 ChernarusPLUS is a glitchy pile of dung on ARMA 3 engine. Ponds don't work, many doors don't work, etc. etc. - apart for some really nice looking new models (like wrecked ships, taller buildings, trees, prison, etc.) it's not that much better looking tbh. happydayz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IReeceI Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Anyone know if "Lingor" will ever make it across ? Seriously need a new map ! Atlis is by far the worst map i have ever played Epoch on ! its designed for battles not building ect ! Stratis aint bad its a little greener !

Darth_Rogue Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 According to BIS they're working on one for Arma 3. No word on an ETA though.

Atlis is by far the worst map i have ever played Epoch on ! its designed for battles not building ect ! Stratis aint bad its a little greener ! Altis and Stratis barely has any wooden areas. Thats why i love chernarus. Them woods. <3 That's what I gathered, that most people liked Chernarus because of the woods. However, someone just needs to completely redo Chernarus with everything A3, but A3 needs more objects and buildings tbh. I still like some of the old A2 buildings, but that map needs a huge makeover imo if it's going to keep getting beat to death. Bornholme has some nice groupings, and the terrain is kind of interesting in places, and in a way it's kind of nice the way towns and buildings are strewn out.. but it's just a little too flat for how large it is. Some of the roads are cool, I really actually enjoy having to drive a good distance to get somewhere, but if you have to walk good Christ. Not enough hills for my liking, the textures aren't that great(I think he used something like 10m per pixel if I'm not mistaken). However, I really do like the wheat fields on that map. You could crouch down in them and I'm pretty sure they still rendered at a distance so you were hidden, no? I was able to hide a car in that shit and you could barely see it. Lingor is the last A2 map I was playing on before I made the jump to A3, I had a good bit of fun on that map. I liked some of the vegetation... but I had mixed feelings about how "sturdy" some of the undergrowth was. You had these weeds that would bust the hell out of your car if you tried going off road a little. However, Icebreakr's maps... I dunno, I liked a lot of things about them, he can get creative with them.. I don't know, maybe it was just the textures that bothered me or something.. Panthera especially just seemed like.. too fake or something. Out of interest, will there be a new map for Arma3 from BiS, or will we have to wait for Arma4 before we get a new one? I'm guessing you didn't read the-- ah Darth got it. XD I'm excited to see what they come up with, it'll probably take forever for them to finish it though. I don't know how much time they spent on Altis, but they did a really good job with it, so I'm excited to see what they come up with. private["_aa","_ab","_ac","_ad","_ae","_af","_ag","_ah","_ai","_aj","_ak","_al","_am","_an","_ao","_ap","_aq","_ar","_as","_at","_au","_av","_aw","_ax","_ay","_az","_aaa","_aab","_aac","_aad","_aae","_aaf","_aag","_aah","_aai","_aaj","_aak","_aal","_aam","_aan","_aao","_aap","_aaq","_aar","_aas","_aat"]; Obfuscation just got real.. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rogue Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I would be willing to bet that once the new upcoming map hits we will likely have a whole new set of buildings to play with in the editor. They'll likely be of a different theme than Altis. Once those are available to use we can import them into some maps like Bornholm or maybe even Chernarus and breathe some new life into them. And, who knows, maybe the new map they're designing will be perfect for Epoch and we can just use that. We will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega13 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bornholm rocks, we run one called ORB, check it out it actually isn't bad at all, we have even put our own compound on the map, we are editing ai and mission loot, trying to find the middle for it for everyone. We went from Cherno to Bornholm because there wasn't a lot of Bornholm maps out there. We never have had a full server however have had over 20 a few times out of our 40 person server which we are happy to see with the few people we currently have with us. Bornholm support hopefully is right around the corner and it definitely will be nice to see, the map is amazing, lots to do. Roads however are wonky and have caused very amusing deaths lol.
