Topic: Revamp existing maps

As new statics are made I hope efforts are taken to update existing maps. What do I mean? Take those Echo base control room map and console statics and start plugging them into the currently bare structures on several maps like Rhen Varr and Tatooine. Currently those are nice structures but are completely bare inside. Details, details, that's the reason those Tatooine maps already look so good. Spread the wealth and add more detail to Ryloth and Rhen Varr, the landscapes and certain areas look very vanilla BF1942 with their lack of clutter.

Re: Revamp existing maps

They have been changing things slightly. Turrets on Endor, for example. I think Bestine's been changed a bit since original release, and etc. Of course, more improvements would be welcome. I'd really like to see Endor, complete with bunker and openable/closable/destroyable doors. And an updated objective of destroying the reactor or whatever inside.

Re: Revamp existing maps

I agree some maps need a bit of a facelift, to a limited degree (Mos Espa is surrounded by completely flat terrain, for example). I don't really agree with carrying over statics, though - I feel the statics of a map or planet belong there only, like you'd not expect to see pagodas in the Middle East in BF2 - but that's maybe just me.

But yes, more clutter. Definitely.

Um. You used the exactly same Imperial outpost statics on Rhen Var as the ones on Endor.

Re: Revamp existing maps

That is an Imperial construct that is portable, all Star Destroyers carry them so we can put them up wherever we want the Empire to establish a strong presence, but they are the exception.
