Cyssor was fun when it was an NC home continent. You had either the Tr vs NC or the VS vs NC. In the last 5 years or so all people look for is 3 way fights. This wouldn't be bad here and there but it has become the norm. Especially on Cyssor. So i understand your view. But in 2003,2004,2005 Cyssor was great to fight at.

I would watch the comments you make. Some around here don't take lightly to criticism of PS1. They are liable to flip your parked Galaxy upside down when your not looking...err..umm..wait..you park like that now huh...?Well..those vandals will flip your Galaxy umm.. right side up?

Yup original Vs home Cont. It was so hard to drive anything around that cont that the TR and NC usually ignored it. Clearly VS vehicles had an advantage at Oshur. Maybe that's why it was always purple.

I can see how you would think this from the game's current state, however I have had some of my most memorable PS1 fights in these "barren" areas. I can assure you that I have had a fight at damn near every square inch of every continent. I hope that you do not oversee the value of these "barren" areas as they were defiantly damn good for air battles at the very least.

So many confined themselves to base battles. They never really appreciated the whole map. These maps are great and i enjoyed every square inch of each cont. Well except for Esamir my least favorite.

I think he was rather talking about the 'attention to detail' when it comes to landscape and various props and stuffs.

There were definitely great battles back in the day that were away from bases where tanks, snipers, grunts and air all fought. Its where me and my Lancer met. We've been happy to this day, and now our little Lancelets are growing up and becoming new tools for destruction in PS2, I hope!

Alderego · 2012-05-31, 05:01 AM

Be carefull what you wish for: for all we know they could put them in as miniatures, hidden somewhere in a base under a glass cover. Or as an old map on a wall with a bit 3outdated" stamp on it.

it'd still be in the game, just not the way you expected it.

The terrain on most current continent are a pain. For driving there are a lot of those sharp edged ridges plus the holes that you can fall into and find it difficult if not impossible to get out of.

Some of the bases are too difficult to approach and too easily become 'farmer' bases, HVAR, YAZATA and ATAR.

Cyssor links are bad, the LLU run fro Aja to Chuku in the top cormer and in the bottom is the bridge from Tore to Leza which is too long. The end result is predictable and sometimes week long stalemates.

The rest isn't bad. I think the key to a good continent is:

it doesn't promote static battles
the terrain provides encouragement to both ground troops and armour (air can take care of themselves)
it looks cool

Searhus, Forseral, Esamir are good continents, you could say Ish was too if you ignore the norther west corner.

I'm sure they plan to bring some of the continents back, but the maps will be completely redone. The old ones simply wouldnt fit into what PS2 is trying to achieve.

Ailos · 2012-05-31, 10:43 AM

They ARE bringing Esamir and Amerish as the other two launch continents. Those were two of my favorite continents to fight on, but I think I just expect to have my mind blown with how much more detailed the terrain will be this time.

In the olden days, we picked a path based on whether we were going by Deliverers (and variants), tanks, or air. I feel that here, those kinds of choices will be even more crucial, and then there's the whole customization aspect of it... if I lead an outfit who's equipment specialization is tanks, we will probably have a customized transmission that allows us to climb steeper hills available to our members, so now you could expect us in places we couldn't go before. But finding and picking those paths will be a whole different story from PS1. And then there's nighttime, and driving without headlights... I mean...

You can tell I get all giggidy just thinking about all this.
