Wake island remake

[daveee]

Yes Wake Island was a horrible map, but the fact that they have an 8km x 8km map in the works is quite impressive.

Check it out :)

We going to need alot off AAVs and ASLAVs!

[GruAncH]

At least more skill is needed for the jets in PR (uggh jet whores one thing I dont miss from nilla)

[VisOne]

OHH god they better fix the AA missle's cause otherwise I fear for my life.

[1rankman]

i wonder what wake island would be like with no planes or just fighters with no air to ground

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

If I have a cannon I'll still be making ground runs. I loved Wake Island and was one of the Jet whores except opposite. I took great satisfaction in knocking down J-10's and keeping them down by never letting the AA be spawned longer than 5 seconds and keeping the jets pinned. If you have a wingman you can rotate between re-arming. The F-35 was my favorite jet in game and had a powerful main cannon. The trick is to never use those useless missles other than when a J-10 is straight and level and in front of you, fire before they even lock.

I wonder what wake will be like in PR?

[Aus Sniper01]

Grunts all the way mate! :D

[Captain_Wolf]

What is with that crazy kit selection screen? Choose limited kits on spawn?

[Lucid Nightmare]

Coolies, they manages to get the 8x8 maps working.

This map will probably be horrible for us admins. Tk'ing for jets left right and centre. . .

>.>

The kit thing is what happens when you make your own map, you actually have to limit the number of kits somewhere in the map file (similar to where you define the AAS order), but you don't worry about that till last.

omg omg omg. that is so awsome. i love and miss the jets in PR

[CaptAndy]

I liked Wake... it was my most played map in nilla... bring it on!

[Madhouse]

woohoo! lookin good

[Baker65]

mine too, a wake map will probably increase popularity of the mod considerably (and with it we all no what)

[1rankman]

it will ether be really fun of really crap

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

It will be fun and crap depending on the round, but the great ones will make it worth it.

[So_Cynical]

Wake is a great map in all BF versions...yes there can be rapage,but thats only if the teams are unbalanced...skill/numbers wise.

[pogoman]

the video of him flying over the island looks awesome. it looks so much more realistic than the nilla version and the island is so much bigger, i hope he puts more flags on it.

btw: If u cant find it heres the link to the second video posted in the middle of the thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVAGacZmCpg

vegetation looks sweet

[VisOne]

Woot a jungle map where they didn't rely on the dam grass for cover. ^_^

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

I am looking forward to playing wake again!

[Aphex_Fusion]

You know what would kick arse on this map? An AC-130.

Yeah, you know it to be true!

[Baker65]

ahh **** yeah, ac 130 - modded to PR and stolen from dcon

[Chuc]

Dang, I call Squad "Spectre"!

One pilot, one on the howitzer, two on the vulcans/gatlings, two on the GAU-miniguns..

[Chickenhawk]

Only if you nick-name the thing "Puff" can you call your squad Spectre......

[[667th]_RaceM81]

sorry for bringing up an old topic.....

just wanted to know if this map is still ongoing and or is there a beta out that some of us can try, some of the 667th want to have a go at it, i see on the PR forums they have brought the topic back up and i had a read looks like a good map.

we have a few ppl in the 667th that love wake im not that fussed on it but would love to see what its like in PR, anyone know if i can download it at all or how i would go about having a go with it??

Thanks RaceM81

[GruAncH]

PR Forums is the best place to ask that question, I'd say the map is unfinished and therefore not packed and playable but eh! what would I know :) yeah best ask around the PR forums...

[Jim]

Definately best to ask at the PR forums.
I do believe it was never meant to be included in any release, was just something someone was messing around with.

yer ive been looking at it today thinking what a good release it would be.....

1. you would see lots of the vBF2 guys come over to PR for the realisim
2. you would see the flyboys come for the extra room
3. there would be more teams arround for ladder matches/ tornys

thats just a few but i suppose ill have to post on the PR site asking for it... i know it was finished but he was waiting on a jet for the china... i wonder if i asked if he would give it to me..... mmmm

ok thanks guys

[VisOne]

Don't forget the land mines on the carrier, the c4 on the planes and general idiots who can't stand not being the big man in the jet.

[jamtheman_m]

eeeehhhh....i dunno how good an idea this is

that landmass is just so open to being raped by jets doing quick, low runs

[Psyrus]

eeeehhhh....i dunno how good an idea this is

Except that the bombs are now laser guided and won't detonate if dropped from <500ft/m/whatever they measure in, so fast/low runs are unlikely, and considering the power of handheld AA now, I wouldn't be too worried. It would more likely be an epic Air battle. I'd love to see each team start with ~>6 planes + transport helos.

It'd be for a bit of fun imo... dunno how well the whole tactics thing would work :P

[Bahlye]

It seems to have stalled atm,going by the last update..or lack of at the PRM Forums....Just do a search there for "wake remake".

[champsky]

give me the sniper rifle and let me loose on that island .
haunting wake was my favourite past-time . couldnt give a **** about the jets , they dont bother me , come on this is great infantry fighting . its not all about air , groundpounders win that map not aircraft .

[+SiN+ solo60]

what is with the 1 cap point on the island.. that just sucks.

more cap points = more inf battles on the island = more fun.
