I was wondering since the original game had hacked maps. Which are soo cool by the way, would we be some how able to still use our old maps on the new Black Arrow game. It would be cool to make it one huge game with all the maps from the first one plus hacked maps.

It might be possible. Guess we won't know until we actually have the game.

Some of the M.A.P. team will be looking into this shortly. Right now they don't work but, I wouldn't give up hope yet.

Ok I hope then can convert the Maps. When I looked at all the files I see that they look the exact same way ad the first game. Im assuming the job will be easier for the Map alliance.

I hope they can make map manager for Black Arrow so that all of the original levels for RS3 will usable in Black Arrow. That would be great.

Has there been any status on the maps. Does anyone know anything yet.

I wouldn't exactly hold my breath on the maps for Black Arrow. Seeing how BA is a Xbox exclusive - there isn't an actual PC equivalent to use as a level designer as there was wth the Raven Shield release. Using the unrealED with textures and meshes from the original release of Raven Shield made it much easier to develop and troubleshoot the map compatibilities - and for those not familiar with converting maps there are a number of things either in the map or the config files that have the potential to make the maps incompatible.

If in fact the maps did get ported, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see them not usable in total conquest or retrieval mode. The simple reason for this is without a PC editor to add in things like where the containers spawn, or where the drop off sites and satellites are located the task of making maps compatible becomes even more difficult. I wouldn't say that it can't be done - but it sure will take a lot of talent and patience to make them run properly. I don't expect this will be a quick thing, if it's something that we see ever....

However, I sure do hope someone can prove me wrong... I'd love some more maps for Black Arrow.

Now that you say it like that it will be more difficult to port the maps. The new RB63 modes will make it more complicated. But if i can still use them in the regular team modes that will be cool. One because the new game took care of the lean problem. Imagin playing the maps the way they should be played no glitches,
