Montreal REVAMP

by **johloh** on Tue May 15, 2007 10:42 am

im interested in doing a montreal revamp, in somewhat the same style as my san francisco map...

i messaged rocksolid but he hasnt posted since august 2006, so i dont think he is logging in much...

opinions?

anyone have his email?

Yep - definitely needs it. The map almost looks like something landgrab would have

by **johloh** on Tue May 15, 2007 10:45 am

i love it how landgrab has become the new insult on here.

we have to be pretty careful with revamps don't we? I mean with the Middle East all we could do is update the graphics.

I don't think we should overhaul these older maps. Maybe just an update would suffice?

Oh, and your moms face looks like a map on Landgrab. lol.

All i want to do is update the graphics. I personally really like the montreal map and have no desire to change anything but graphics. same as middle east.

I understand that... I am just curious because the San Fansisco map's style is nothing like Montreals? I know the middle east still resembles the old map. The two different graphical styles wouldn't have that resemblence would it?

I don't know, I could be totally wrong. What does everyone else think? I would love a revamp of this map.

actually i think it would be in quite a similiar style...i was going to use a satellite photo and transparencies on top...I would not be doing it from a 3/4 view like SF...but same style of satellite + transparent colors.

and maybe someone can do something about the 5 '4-ways'

That sounds cool... go for it.

I love the map the way it is now. It doesn't need a revamp.

by **Gilligan** on Tue May 15, 2007 3:07 pm

and the maker

i know. thats why i started this thread instead of just starting on the map. i messaged the maker but he hasnt been active in a long time. im checking to see if a moderator can get in contact with him through a email address...

many people have said they think it needs a revamp...if not, dont let me waste my time...

go back to landgrab.

no i dont think satellite image would be apporiate for Montreal...please keep it same style as it is but re-vamp it. Like Keyogi did for the Middle east map.

by **yeti_c** on Wed May 16, 2007 9:14 am

I say go for it... the sexier we can make the maps the better...

Although I think Brazil needs to be the next in line over Montreal!!!

i second the motion that brazil is next. i like playing brazil, montreal..not so much.

by **hulmey** on Wed May 16, 2007 9:41 am

i have played brazil once and its graphics are horrible...It certainly needs a re-vamp.

by **KEYOGI** on Wed May 16, 2007 3:55 pm

I'm hoping to have the revamp announcement ready soon. I'm just waiting on feedback from Andy and Lack about the details and then we can go ahead and get started.

by **johloh** on Wed May 16, 2007 4:51 pm

yeah im holding off anyway...seems like most people dont want to see montreal revamped...

i like playing it anyway so im fine either way....

To disagree, I'd very much like to see this revamped. Played a few games and it seemed like a very playable map let down by poor graphics.
