Thread: Operation Snow Storm

I've only played by myself so I have no clue... My only problem is that the map in my eyes is inverse, where its tall its not. So when i get a chance to play with more people I'll let y'all know! Looks like it should be some real fun though!

I like it for the infantry tactics, but there aren't enough rock statics for my tastes. I like that there are helos, but I haven't seen them be extremely useful on this map yet besides the occasional crate drop.

Agree with Demos. I love the snow. When I hop into the snow map, hearing what sounds reminiscent of stepping in slop/swamp/mud at first detracts from the experience. The snow maps on DoD:S have the sound right I think.

Also, it seems kind of odd to have bags/equipment that is green as cammo. They kinda stick out.

The map as a whole is nice. Unfortunately I have not had the joy of a full server with it, but the terrain was great. I could actually drive almost anywhere I wanted on the map so access wasn't a problem. There are some nice places for FOBs as well.

It might be interesting to have a partially frozen lake … extremely slick … but then this is a touch that may be more than some might like. I don't recall where, but I know I have played a game where falling into water on the snow map caused damage ...

I would like to know if it is possible to have more debris fly up when a projectile hits the snow or even the ability to track people in the snow. Again, perhaps more than what is possible.

Wind – wind sounds up on the peaks would likely be worthwhile and add to the ambience.

I don't recall finding any caves ... this would be a nice touch also.

Agree with the crate drop observations. Although I did find enough places that worked okay.

Finally, it was fun to have a snow map.

Most of that can be attributed to the fact that they said they would never have a snow map since it would require all new static buildings and sounds and the like.

I find it fun as what it basically is, an alpha test map for some snow features.
