Bardia will get an visual overhaul in version 2.45 (Originally by Lobo and Vic Colfari, modified and updated by Natty and Fenring)

• Now with proper eroded surrounding terrain to give more realistic and huge Battlefield feeling and less of Counter Strike map (upsized from 512x512 meters to 1x1 km)
• Added brand new sky and lighting
• Brand new terraintextures
• Improved undergrowth
• Rearranged some overgrowth into zones so the map looks less cluttered and more visual and gameplay wise logical
• Smoothed out some sharp terrain that was unecessary and annoying to move over

Screenshots:




Not the final final version, but gives a good WIP preview


Up to the last minute our designers and artists tweak the maps to give you guys the most rewarding experience we can offer. We found out a way to get additional terrain detail by baking a high resolution heightfield and merging the directional light into the colormap. This allows for additional terrain detail and realism on the Battlefield 2 engine previously tought impossible. This was applied to the surrounding terrain areas on keren.



note: Keren screenshots are without anti aliasing and final terrain lightmaps
