The Mashtuur map displayed during loading is inaccurate. The water tower (circled in red) is not behind the Hill flag. ZOMG!

Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and didn't find it.

Does anyone know of other inaccuracies in the maps?

The minimaps were made before the actual map was finished... DICE ........ Those guys didn't even manage to get the actual buildings on their minimaps, just the shadows as you can see. The DICE mappers forgot to type renderer.minCullDistance 3456 into the Editor Console BAAHAH. BTW in FuShe Pass, the minimap water color is completely different from the color it really has ingame. On the minimap it looks more like the river is... just DIRt and MUD.

Another little thing....

The map that is displayed in the "Game options" screen is not a map that is included in BF2.

With a quick glance, you can presume it is Mashtuur. Look carefully... it doesn't look anything like it.

I noticed the water tower and PLA flag too awhile ago... you'd think they would take more care with this stuff since it's a G A M E which will be S O L D to people.

It must be the original Mastuur, I have seen vids for it but none the less the PLA flag still confuses me

It does seem to be the Mashtuur map in creation.

Looking at the ingame screenshot, there appears to be no lightmaps, the number of tickets hasn't been set, the health/ ammo bars are not functioning, the fog has not been set, etc etc.

----------------------

Military planners for both the US and the People’s Republic of China quickly realized that this sector contains key strategic bridges that provide easy armored access to the Manchurian heartland and deployed accordingly. To secure possession of these vital lines of advance elements of both nations are racing to meet head-on amidst the scattered farms, villages and industrial areas of this ancient, remote landscape.
Does anyone recognise this map description?

In the localization files it is listed as a map called "hinganhills" which i guess would have been called Hingan Hills

FuShe Pass also appears to have previous been called "Glowing Pass"

random numbers FTW!

Oh btw: for those who are interested, Mashtuur City's initial name was "Divided City". I'm pretty sure you could google it, it's somewhere as [ugly, horrible, and small] map downloadable on the internet. Some DICEguy felt happy and changed the map size and name and contents...

There are so many playable maps that have not been included in the BF2 release although they could have been.

there was a lot of stuff that got left out, probably because dice are just lazy.

the original mashtuur looks far better i think tho

would have been nice to see the original maps.

hopefully they'll get released one day.

Actually they wanted to be able to have about 100+ people playing at a time, so of course the maps would be bigger.... Which would be why you see a helicopter and an anit-air vehicle in the mini-map.
