So I was in a game of Pearl, and I got killed (not just critically wounded), so I was able to fly around the map. This flight I took around Pearl opened my eyes to a few things. Number one. 60% of the map has gone to waste! Not just Pearl, but every other map! In most maps only about 40% is avalible to play on, due to out of bounds restrictions, but the other 40% has gone to waste, and there are plenty of cool areas I would like to puttle around in but I cant. So many cool areas, off limits. Its a shame really. On to number two, the important one. At the edge of pearl, on all sides, the map is surrounded by a sea (quite literally) of neon green trees (see picture 1)! They seem to be alligned in rows, and go in infinatly (see picture 2. The trees as far as I can tell are sitting on water, side by side. There are sections of trees that are also quite taller than the rest. Taller than the visibility distance in fact (see picture 3). I couldnt screen shot these pictures for some reason, so I took a picture of the screen from a camra.

If the pictures dont show up at first, im working on it xD

that's a problem with the surrounding terrain...
You can remove the combat area from a map so you can fly or go wherever... all the way to the edge of the map.
you have to make a backup copy of whatever map you want to mod and then you can change the combat area code.

that's cool... dice was lazy and could have fixed those surrounding terrain issues though.

It doesnt really both me because I cant see it, but yeah they should have fixed it What really dissipoints me is the wasted map. I can see creating some map in the out of bounds section just to give the map a backdrop or background of sorts, but they went all out on creating totally useless areas.

Cool map, reminds me of Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion ^^ The clouds are a nice effect. Do you have a map editing program you are using for this?

the bf2 editor... the terrain was created with Geocontrol 2... dice used it for bfbc2 i believe?
It's a great app for amazing terrains... free trial and 100 bucks to buy

Does BF2 use old school skyboxs for sky? Like cloudy_left, cloudy_right, cloudy_center, etc? That's some pretty good sky and terrain you got there.
