New RA2 Quick Match Patch

Aro · Alcohol Fueled **Joined**: 10 Sep 2006

The RA2 Quick Match Map Patch has now been made active in the QM!

Over the past month and a half, some of the guys over at www.strike-team.net have surveyed the XWIS community extensively for input on which of a proposed 15 maps should be made active in the implementation of a new RA2 Quick Match Map Patch. Having compiled all the votes, and opinions on specific maps, they have finalized the map pool!

There was a very strong demand for the inclusion of all 15 maps, however there was also a significant number of votes for the inclusion of the proposed minimum of 5. To that end, the guys have included 12 new maps, 3 of which are set to be mirror matches only.

You go can here to check out some videos demonstrating gameplay on the new maps!

- 12 Very Carefully Chosen Maps
- Automatic Installation of the RA2 QM Reso Patch

Why do the fan made maps suck? The only one that looks any good is little big bay.

EDIT* Yes, I am a really fast editor. XP

And now that I had a closer look at little big bay there is some thing about it that is just driving me nuts!!! Look at the trees in the water. >_< I do not know if that was intentional but it looks dumb.

EDIT2* Amazonas Delta has the same problem... It must be by the same person... So I guess it was intentional...

Have to agree, though little big bay is decent.

Edit: Screw you and you're quick editing. #Tongue

Edit 2: These maps weren't made to look pretty, but were all made for balance and good online play, so pretty features had to be cut out, shame cause they're so ugly to look at but fun to play on.

most likely the trees were placed in the water intentionaly .. as iv done it before for a specific effect ... whats wrong never seen trees half way in a river before?

If you find any other bugs or problems post on the strike-team forums topic and the maker of the patch will fix em and update the patch.

The Patch uses a auto update feature so no later manual actions are not needed.

Edit: The map patch also includes already existing ra2 maps that have been fixed like snow valley's and cold war's terrain errors.
