Thread: The 0.9 Background images.

Evidently these are also scenes from several of the new maps as well as old ones with new loading screens.

It takes a while for this to load, so slow internet users beware.

Some kickass pics nonetheless.


Looks like at least one new MEC or insurgent city type map.


Here is one I liked, looks like it might be one of the new Russian faction maps.

A guy took a stab at guessing some of the pics....

Each map seems to contain a set of four pictures, with each picture showing off a different part of the map being shown. I'll try and name all the maps, giving references for each.

Note:
USA = US Army
USMC = United States Marine Corps
GB = Great Britain
IDF = Israeli Defence Force
Can = Canada
MEC = Middle Eastern Coaliton
PLA = People's Liberation Army (China)
RU = Russia
CH = Chechen Milita
Hamas = Hamas
Tal = Taliban
Ins = Insurgents

• [1-4] Al Basrah -- (2km)(GB vs. Ins)
• [5-8] Asad Khal -- (1km)(IDF vs. Hamas) Source, Source
• [9-12] The Battle for Qinling -- (4km)(GB vs. PLA) Source
• [13-16] Beirut -- (4km)(IDF vs. RU) Source, Source, Source (Notice: I've seen testers playing a map called Beirut over Xfire. Beirut is located in Lebanon.)
• [17-20] Dragonfly -- (2km)(GB vs. CH) Source, Source
• [21-24] Fallujah West -- (1km)(USMC vs. Ins) Source, Source
• [25-28] Fool's Road -- (2km)(GB vs. CH) Source
• [29-32] Gaza Beach -- (2km)(IDF vs. Hamas) Source
• [33-36] Iron Ridge -- (2km)(RU vs. CH) Source
• [37-40] Jabal Al Burj -- (2km)(USMC vs. MEC)
• [41-44] Karbala -- (2km)(USA vs. Ins) Source
• [45-48] Kashan Desert -- (4km)(USA vs. MEC)
• [49-52] Korengal Valley -- (1km)(USA vs. Tal) Source
• [53-56] Kozelsk -- (2km)(RU vs. CH) Source
• [57-60] Lashkar Valley -- (2km)(GB vs. Tal) Source
• [61-64] Muttrah City -- (2km)(USMC vs. MEC) Source
• [65-68] Operation Barracuda -- (2km)(USMC vs. PLA) Source
• [69-72] Operation Archer -- (2km)(Can vs. Tal) Source
• [73-76] Qwai River -- (2km)(USA vs. PLA) Source, Source

• [81-84] Siege of Ochamachira -- (2km)(GB vs. CH) Source
• [85-88] Silent Eagle -- (4km)(USA vs. RU) Source
• [89-92] Steel Thunder? -- (4km)(USA? vs. RU) Source

Information:

• 23 total maps
• 8 new maps
• USA featured in 7 maps
• GB featured in 6 maps
• Russia featured in 5 maps
• Chechen Militia featured in 5 maps
• USMC featured in 4 maps
• Insurgents featured in 4 maps
• MEC featured in 3 maps
• PLA featured in 3 maps
• Taliban featured in 3 maps
• IDF featured in 3 maps
• Hamas featured in 2 maps
• Canada featured in 1 map

Again, this is all speculation, do not take my word as truth, but merely as an observation.

Devs have confirmed a few of those and it seems like a lot of the less popular maps will be taken out, including Ghost Train and EJOD.

On the good side though, seems like they want to bring back those and some even older maps as a 'retro pack' map pack in the future, so we can only hope that street will make another appearance, even if it is only in skirmish format.

Gonna miss some of the old ones, at least it will cut down on Download size, WHENEVER .9 comes out

I have a feeling it is probably pretty soon, which will most likely make it so we have to reorganize the boot camp. :P
