The PLA needs a city map!

I've gathered this is what most people want (well i do) - a chinese map that isn't a huge wasteland, with the sort of infantry combat you find in most of the MEC city maps. So... I thought I'd make my own. Here's what I've got so far.

Assault on Jiumenkou - WORK IN PROGRESS

Map briefing: A US bombardment has left the small town of Jiumenkou virtually deserted. A small force of US Marines are poised to take control of this strategic city, but a lightly-armed contingent of the PLA has been rushed into the area to attempt to head off the advancing Marines and recapture the city's valuable industrial facilities.

Game mode: Conquest - double assault.

Control points (so far): most of the flags are wrong in this picture and I'm going to get rid of the car factory one for now

Construction_site The main base for the USMC.
Team: US
Vehicles: 1 light jeep, 1 heavy jeep

Vehicles: None

Cement_factory A cement factory, with a train loading station thingy
Team: Neutral
Vehicles: 1 heavy jeep

Farm A little farm place

Temple The main Chinese base - hmm these pictures don't seem to work. Oh well, it's a chinese temple like the one in the middle of the lake in dragon valley, with a road leading off into the sunrise
Team: PLA
Vehicles: 1 light jeep, 1 heavy jeep

So... What do you think? What would you like to see in a PLA urban map? I'd like lots of suggestion and ideas, and if anyone can give me some tips (I'm new to mapping) I'd be really grateful. Thanks to the guy who made operation_overcloud, which inspired me to make a map. Discuss

Suggestions? Anyone? Sould I put in armour? I've left it out for the moment, just to be different. I've also made most of the flags so that you have to get out of a vehicle to cap them.

1 tank per team. Try and make it a bit like Shariq, thats the best city map in the game.

No armor please, personally I think it's good as it is, the only thing I would change is the location of the Lower Bridge flag, I would put it on one of the catwalks instead of in the middle.

OK, cool - yeah I love sharqi... so you think there should be choppers either? I dont want to make it too mmuch of a whorefest

Well the only reason the lower bridge flag is where it is is because if it goes any higher up it pokes through the top of the bridge lol you can still cap it from the catwalks there, but not from the bridge above

Please no more vehicles than jeeps, Sharqi and (except for the alley) Karkand are just 250-point games for the guys in the armor/helis and 30-point games for everyone else.

ok. I want to make it a good sniping map too, with quite a lot of cover and good nests

It looks like Mashtuur for the PLA. Love it.

GL, I've just created a PLA vs USMC sniper type map where there is loads of forest and hills. Not anything like the existing maps. Be sure to let us know when this map is done and i'll play it.

Cheers. Does anybody have ideas for more CP's? I duno, a market or something?

certainly not bad but as the CP are now, the usmc has a huge advantage, they will cap the two flags before the pla can get there. Except for that, nice work!

yeah i know. but that first screenie with the map is a bit misleading cause There isn't a car factory CP any more and the farm is neutral. Still a lot of experimetning to do though

Maybe a TV station that spawns a transport helicopter on top? And something like the Old City CP from Daqing?

brome: brap.; +244|7154|Accidental, TK

ok *searches in the really complicated folder tree for the TV station*
this seems like a really nooby question, but I can't get water to work, does anyone know how to make a river or something? I understand most things in the editor, but can't work out water

dude i will be honest....i had the bf2 editor.. and thats like the basics of a map, u need to do ALOT more, that dont look very good in my honest oppinion mate.

1 or 2 transport choppers per team and a load of jeeps.
No tanks/APC's but maybe include an AA vehicle for the middle spawn point (the one that will be highty contested - such as the Highway CP on Road Rage). AA can mash troops but are so lightly armoured, it will be easy to destroy...like on Great Wall 16player.

Ok I've made a quick TV station CP - will post screenies in a min. I submerged one of the dams from Dragon Valley in the ground so it's a sort of overpass thing with steps leading down. as i say, screenies to come
