Well I'd rather be shot by one of my dMw bredren then anyone else :D
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow...
Downloaded it - single player on Karkand...Bloody amazing.
You need to download this - and eventually we need this on a server!
It's unbelievable teh difference this very professional conversion makes to these two maps we like so well.
Karkand is always great anyway - but Karkand at night! (It's a well moonlit night) is just invredible....
All that was missing was the crickets chirping!
I highly recommend that you guys download this - even if it is just to play on single player set to 'expert' - it's fun.

EDIT: Admins, Sorry this sounds really unappreciative after you went to all the trouble setting up map pack 2 for us for Sunday. These maps will be a future project no doubt but in the meantime I look forward to map pack 2! Ta!
No problem we like it too :)

I'm really looking forward to playing this
:dribble: :woot2:
I had another go last night...
Yep - still 'wow'!
:)
I like the sky in particular - the way the clouds skud over with the full moon out. Very realistic. And teh street lights have just the right amount of dazzle.
...And the way when you move into the alley ways it suddenly becomes a lot more darker - very spooky! (Gonna be a great place for people to hide with knives!)
Looking forward to playing these for real some day.
I played the new map pack last night just after 9pm, there was about 7 a side. It was the karkland 2 map... wow, really enjoyed it. Some of the height of those building are amazing, so you end up having to be very vigilent looking around and skywards.
Theres lots of opportunities for flanking, hiding, sniping and coordinated attacks. By putting the flag in the middle flanking really can work on that map.
Highlights for me: myself and Oldbloke formed an elite :lmfao: squad, we flanked on their right side, stealthily made it to near their rear flag base, before being spotted by two of their guys, we took them out, took their flag, but then they sent the cavalry in. OB and I holding out on the top of this roof getting shot to s**t (fun though), then OB had to leave, leaving me on my own, credit to the opposition they flanked my position and generally nullified any advantage I had of height, I just couldn't get my head up, before someone tossed a grenade in my lap ... nice play guys.
I have to mention Blunt last night, mate you where on fire, everytime we came across each other, we would both drop to the floor and fire, and 9 times out of 10, Blunt was taking me out, you seemed to have upped your game buddy :D
After that we moved to that weird 3 aircraft carrier map... oh dear what a dissapointment after the Karkland map, I just found it boring and frustrating.
cheers for that Dewey... :blush:
Those new maps are great (apart from the carrier map...which is pants IMHO)
the urban 1's especially...so many places to hide
I bet they'd be good to play on AAS :D
really good games last night, enjoyed it a lot. Absolute uddles of teamwork and some great flag dashing/flanking. Karkland 2 rocks although the 1 called abi dubai ( I think) matches it.
great play from the opposing team, well done
ps is there any way to stop tanks from spawning so that silly ppl whi cant read or here the "STOP USING TANKS" cant use them??
ps and again great game last nite :biggrin:
I also had a good time last night. The new maps that I played were pretty good. It was a good change as always from the Rank(ed) servers that I spend most of my time on.
NF :ph34r:
With this night mod, def thinking I won't be buying the SF mod purely for a zip wire and a couple of other gadgets!
