Now let me tell you this, I love the graphics on this game. It actually is one of the better art styles I have seen, but it lacks a sense of life. Something that slowly becomes apparent the more you play. The whole lack of life, other than the other players. If no battles were fought on the warzone, at least SOME life should be present. Trees would really fix this. As well as giving players a tactical advantage if they can scale it and snipe, it would also add to the atmosphere of a war seeing destroyed trees all around you.

How about a map which is a burnt out destroyed city?

Maybe we could have different environments. Such as;
- A destroyed, burnt out city( like stated above), lots of QQC, sniper points, hiding places
- A downtown market in Iraq, not destroyed or burnt out, reduced vision and lots of sand
- A cold Russian winter, flat ground with lots of trees, small villages on both sides
- A world war 1 battlefield, flat land destroyed by artillery, teams start out in a small crater, dig trenches
- A d-day map, cliffs on either ends with water separating the 2, Czech hedgehogs that cannot be removed, landing crafts that respawn if destroyed
- A Vietnamese jungle, large trees, swamps and caves
- An entire map underground, huge endless cave systems (think minecraft 404 challenge, lots of ambush points, possibly lava

I know I got carried away, but I think more maps would give the game lots of replay value, and provide you with the trees you so desperately want.

But the point is to create structures. What good is a map like a city going to do?

It doesn't ALL have to be a city. And once the developer adds more explosives the land is going to start getting torn up faster, meaning that the cities wont stand forever. And besides, don't you ever get bored of looking at rolling hills with some half finished structures everywhere?

I vote trees. But they should be a bit easier to shoot through than earth. Or something like that... or maybe just a little shrubbery or something.

Maybe we should just keep it as WW1 styled warfare.

Mud,Barbed Wire,Artillery and Trenches.

What makes you think the dev would add more explosives?

I vote for tress, but other than that, people make the structures anyway.

What Trotski said, minus the artillary.

SImplicity is the key here; different map terrain, okay. Adding unremovable buildings and such just makes me screem WHY????

As for trees, okay, but they'd be destroyed within about 5 minutes anyway. It couldn't hurt, it just seems a bit fruitless.

trees would provide a bit of camouflage

To be honest I would love to see some varriation in the map. The rolling hills and branching rivers are great but it be pretty lame if that was all there was as an option. Trees would be very interesting as they would provide cover for and against snipers.

Use Brown Blocks with Green blocks. You got a tree.

stickeys is a good idea

You gave me a big idea lexsym
Imma make nothing but trees on the next game i play.

Trees = Tree Huggers. BAD!

Okay I am joking,

If you had the "leaves" as blocks with 50% of the pixels taken out.

That would like realistic enough?

50% of the pixels out would likely still look like a solid block

I actually agree with the majority of the variety mentioned.

The city would be war torn and partially destroyed. Obviously the building would be destroyable and even repairable if desired.

I would be an interesting change of pace for the game.

Also, trees would be really cool. Once the map tools get released I want to see some of this stuff actually happen. If we get artillery/machine gun emplacements cover with be that much more interesting and important.

ERm..... 50% would not look like a solid block.....

I don't mean every other pixel should be clear but in blocks of 40 or something.

You know if anything, maybe Ben (the creator, I think that's his name, lol), can pay attention to how Notch, creator of Minecraft, has been doing these sorts of enviroments. I don't mean copy everything Notch is doing, I'm just saying, if he wants a general idea of how the game COULD look, maybe look at Minecraft.

PS: Notch and Ben walked into a bar. . .

...and then notch spent all his monies on vodka and vacations.
the end.

lol

It would take quite some time for notch to spend all his money in a bar. 2 million copies sold of minecraft at prices 10-15e mostly :-D

Yes, but it's not impossible.

:DD ftw is going on in here? Anyways, the trees, cities and other stuff shouldn't be added, since the dev is planning to do a map maker tool anyways soon. Then there'll be billions of thatlike maps around.

it would be nice to have more natural cover

Well as i hear to the new update,

You can create new maps with the map creator - I am sure Ben will give you link for one,
And create what you want in map before live,
