GR:AW Black Hawk Down Maps!
Thu, Oct 2th, 2006 | by Tom Anger

Since coming out with AW04 Ghost Town, the project which immediately started after was a series of maps from the Battle of Mogadishu where 2 blackhawks were lost in the battle. I am talking about BLACK HAWK DOWN. Someone already put out a coop map with this name so I altered the names of these maps to reflect what they represented during that time.

This project currently consists of 1 huge map. This huge map will be sectioned off into 3 separate maps (AW05, AW06, AW07) then released as a map pack. At least 2 of these maps will be geared toward Ladder Matches and entertain comfort levels of 5 vs 5 up to 16 vs 16. The lower numbers seem to be the norm for matches on ladder sites so that is the intention.

Here are some pics of the 1st map which is almost done. I called it AW05 Initiative Lost because the mission was actually a success until Wolcott's Blackhawk was shot down with an RPG. Over the radio coms it was mentioned "WE JUST LOST THE INITIATIVE. The maps will be in all gametypes and I expect to tackle coop on these at some point so that people can enjoy them in single player mode.

AW05 Initiative Lost - A Black Hawk Down Tribute map pack.

THESE MAPS SHOULD BE COMING OUT IN LATE OCTOBER, EARLY NOVEMBER 06

Coops in the making!!!
Wed, Feb 13th, 2007 | by Tom Anger

AW01 and AW10 are in Beta testing. AW01 has been on servers and a V1.1 is in process of completion. Also AW10 Day Docks is on the queue for a possible release.

In addition, the Delta Force Maps have had some time invested for cooping as well, however, that is a long process. Look for AW01 & AW10 final releases soon with a hopefull expectation of Delta Force coops.

GR:AW GHOST TOWN in the making!!!

COMING TO AN SCE SERVER SOON

AW04 Ghost Town - Phase 2 construction is complete. 1-2 weeks of careful analysis and detail is now needed. Also, the various telephone poles and electric wires were ripped from the coop Strong Point. I will try to get approval from a GRIN director on that before publishing the map.

GR:AW Road To Reaper!
Thu, Nov 15th, 2006 | by Tom Anger

There has been some lag time going between video cards and working on the OGR coops for the Delta Force maps. Those are on hold to construct some other maps geared toward Team vs Team in hopes of generating some slow paced tactical events for the new year. This map due in early to mid december is basically 1 Main Road with some side streets, but nothing more than that.

Unlike Downtown or Avenues, this urban map can play well with a small group. The more the merier. Both teams will start on a section of Main Street and it is up to them how they get into position. For TDM you will want to try your best to get ot the enemy location and choke them from moving up the road. In Siege you will want to move up slowly as you attempt to make it to the recon point (Food Court area). As most of the AW series maps sponsered by Shadow Company Elite, they are constructed for tactics. Here are some sample pics.

GR:AW POW CAMP has arrived!!!
Thu, Aug 24th, 2006 | by Tom Anger

AW03 Pow Camp - This may be the benchmark for custom maps in GRAW.  The same layout from the OLD GR's Pow Camp, this map takes the prize as it offers a large wilderness and 2 main gates to enter the compound.  Once inside you need to secure and prevent an onslaught from the enemy.  A death can set you back outside the complex making it difficult to get back in.  Morning, Noon, and Night versions bring much variety in this multiplayer battle.

GR:AW Map Pack Installers
Thu, Aug 24th, 2006 | by Tom Anger

SCE's MAP PACK DOWNLOAD/INSTALL

The various map makers have been releasing custom maps 1 by 1.

Some have released maps in a multiple map pack allowing players to install all maps in 1 shot.Shadow Company Elite has a map pack which is updated as new maps are added to their portfolio of hosted custom maps. Their installer allows people to click and install. It inserts the custom maps directly into your custom_level folder.

Why are they doing this? As they beta test and release maps they also host them in rotation on their server during the weekends. Having these maps will allow you to continue enjoying their server and custom maps along with the stock maps in the mix. If you do not have the maps the potential for being inadvertantly kicked is likely as you would not have sufficient map files. If this ever happens to you find the maps and download them.

GR:AW Custom Maps and servers
V1.21 Thu, Aug 24th, 2006 | by Tom Anger

With the anticipated release of GR:AW a few month ago many players had high expectations. When the game was released some expectations were met and feedback was given. With the game's 1st update, the map editor was born and map makers started to come out of the woodwork. Now with the game's version 1.21 there is more to work. Gametype's - Team Deathmatch and Hamburger Hill were born.

Various map maker divas BDA - Beer Drinking Assasins Viiper, AlexSledge, and others have headed up their squad with pumping out some nice multiplayer maps. Others like Tom Anger and SCE_RIPPER from SCE - Shadow Company Elite have spearheaded maps as well which you can see hosted on the Shadow Company Elite server from time to time.

Expectations for these players who spend time on nice maps are to host and have others join in on the great variety of online play with GRAW. With the help of Rocky at Ghost Recon.net he worked diligently to help get the map downloads available to players making it easy to get the maps.

As new players evolve and new squads become interested in map making and general gameplay for GRAW the future looks promissing.
