RO2 Basovka

[PsychoPigeon]

Started work on a new map, a remake of my favourite from Ostfront. Will post more updates soon but for now if you have suggestions do post.

It will be similar to the map in Ostfront but I'm thinking more depth to the city, instead of the train station being at the front I'd like it further back so there's some city fighting too. Also would 2 tanks per side be worthwhile or just keep it infantry? It's not going to be a wide map

Spoiler!

Pics look great. Did anyone else get a little tickle in their tummy when viewing the pics from the RO:Ost version of Basovka?? Makes me real excited for this one. Great Work Psycho!

Oh and yes, I vote for Tanks.

Long range Tank engagements occurring over the heads of the battling infantry in the trenches...sounds awesome!

Glad to see you bringing Ponyri 2.0 to the game. Now if only someone would bring over Karlovka.

Looks awesome Psycho!!! Nice job!

One on my old favorites too!

Tanks definately, but perhaps not 2?

My jergulsense is tingling. I think something is about to give tankwise in game. Not dev driven. Community sentiment driven.

If you want a sort of bigger version of Basovka, perhaps its worth looking at Ponyri as well. Basovka was based on the old Red Orchestra Mod map Ponyri

Check me if I am wrong but the RO2 map Gumrak Station is very similar to the RO Basovka.

What was that gigantic RO map with a lot of farms and the ending across a valley. Allies defended. Combined arms. Brilliant 64 player map (well 50 as it was for RO).

Seems to me just a slightly elongated version of Basovka by simply including a housing area between the trenches and rail station.

Berezina?

Berezina?

Yes, and its a great combines arms map

Berezina?

Yep that was the one. It also had a few fixed guns or maybe it was in need of a few fixed guns. They can about later with DH.

I really loved this map to back in Ro1. Its nice to see the map now in RO2

 

[Idiot]

This map is already in RO2 basically. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it is called Gumrak station.

Still, keep up the good work Pigeon, it is a good map

Any update on this? You can make an allot better map than Gumrak Station that is just no fun for Axis, pretty much 80% of the time they lose.

 

[PsychoPigeon]

been working on polishing my other maps for the map pack, then I might spend some time on it
