Sup,

This thread is very close to the "Any new siege maps" with one exception.

Instead of just asking where are they. I am curious to know why they are not out yet?

There are alot of really JK3 maps, and there are tons of talented mappers from JK2. Is there some reason siege maps arent being created?

I'm working on a JA-themed siege map (Sith vs Jedi :)), which will include several noticeable landmarks from jedi_academy_v4 and academy_beta_2.

balance would be a major issue for siege maps, lots of testing should be done to make sure the gameplay is well balanced for both sides.

Virty has been working on six different things for months. He needs to settle down.

There's also alot of scripting to do, and you have to draw out the level "map".

Siege maps are very complex and require a lot of from the creator.

First a plan needs to be worked out. What's the overall theme? Who is attacking and who's defending. What's the objective and so on.

Then it comes to mapping it. Not really that difficult but time-consuming. Finally it comes to decent frame-rates and so.

Well that's the creation of a siege. It's Hard.
