I disagree on this one, there are wonderful map mods, saldy many without scenarios but for freeroam are the best, i play 95% or more of the game with car and map mods
I never said that mod maps are bad, it's just that using the same vanilla and mod maps over and over again for years has gotten a bit boring to me.
yes i agree, there are too few and there are some that are a bit pointless/ too small and could be part of a larger mod, hirochi raceway, cliffs and small island could be part of a larger one for example
i dont use any from him but i wait for his isla rocciosa, my favourites are passo stelvio, american road (which has it all), beam mountains, mount danger, all maps from DuneWulff and like 20 or more scattered on the forums, vanilla can't compete with that but it's understandable it's just a ton of work on every map and if it were vanilla it whould need to have scenarios and other stuff reworked every update
3 official US maps? hirochi raceway.1, small island.2, east coast.3, west coast.4, utah.5, port/industrial.6, new one with rexy.7, sorry if i may be forgetting one
ETK doesn't have a raceway, however, they do have a proving grounds, located in Germany, so it doesn't apply to this list.
The good news is that they've apparently remembered how to play to the engine's strengths vehicle-wise, less development time going to overpowered modern sports cars and more time spent working on off-road vehicles and classics like the Covet remaster. I'm cautiously optimistic about the next few updates in the vehicle department at the very least, now that they've appeased the kiddies with sooperkar and mooscle kar they can afford to be a bit more realistic about the beam model's strengths and limitations
So many mysteries happening this update: Whats going on with that teased modern truck? whats that old van? wheres my dad? wen k - sieris remaster toy story dinosaur cannon!!!??? whats up with that new buggy? when will all the cars get openable doors? will the t series get a remaster ever? Why am I using this font? (this is a joke everything will be ready when it's ready)
This gave me the idea, wouldn't a custom racetrack loosely based off of the Nürburgring be cool to see? Sort of like the race track on WCUSA loosely based off of Laguna Seca. Located in Germany not too far from the ETK centre and is used by them as an extension of their proving grounds. Map doesn't have to be very big, as much like Hirochi Raceway the main focus could be the track itself with little extras here and there to try out around the track's perimeter. I can't be the only one that would love to see that, right?
