It has been a while since the last map update highlight and today we'd like to bring you Vadso City.


To begin, the bushes were redone for gameplay reasons. Lower in height than before, tweaked density, no longer casting shadows to blend in more and re-exported 3D model itself to fix some issues, they should hopefully be less detrimental to gameplay.


Lightmaps were also optimized, reducing the large amount of textures loaded while also increasing quality in other areas. For anyone struggling with memory issues this should come as a welcome.

Next up, Advance and Secure (AAS). The infamous southern route has been removed along with the island flag. Three flag routes now focus on the city and points of interest closer to center of map. Domes of Death were expanded.

CAS and tanks were removed opting instead for a mix of BTR-80, BRDM-2 and MTLB on Russian side against Warrior, Scimitar, Land Rover and Panther on British side in terms of assets.


AAS Alternative now holds an inverted layout with Russians starting at Camp Nyborgmoen and...

Outside from the usual fixes and smaller changes, this update marks a change in development for PR:BF2. Introducing new maps to the players was sometimes difficult as initial feedback would be scarce and only based on a few public play sessions during events. Today we introduce a new system by releasing a map before it's completion to all players and servers. This will offer us more feedback and will allow the mapping team to complete the new maps with this information in mind. We then also ask players to post their feedback and bug reports in the forums.

The first map we will introduce under this new system is Sahel. A 2x2km map being the first PR map in the jungle of Africa. Do note that under this new system the map will be visually incomplete and have more issues then usual. It also does not support a high amount of gamemodes and layers. The map is likely to be removed in a future patch awaiting it's completion and full release.
