ReconInForce to receive a Mapmaker!

September 14, 2015 By reconinforce 3 Comments

The next version of ReconInForce is so big, I’m calling it version 2.0! Introducing the Mapmaker, where players can create their own battlefields and then wage war against the computer or their friends.

I should have let the community make my maps from the start! 😛

The Mapmaker will allow players to create a battlefield as small as 15×15 tiles, or as large as 40×40 tiles. Players can populate the map with all the terrain found in ReconInForce, including roads, forests, rivers and open water.

Small maps, big maps… you choose!

Players can also decide where to place the bases, flags, and deployment zones.

What the heck, put the bases right next to each other!

The basic units of the 17th Guards can also be placed onto the map, allowing players to create custom scenarios or re-create historical battles!

Create custom scenarios or historical battles.

Players will then be able to try their map against a computer player or with a friend in local multiplayer. If you think your map is good enough for the big leagues, email it to the developer for consideration to be included with the next public release of ReconInForce!

Due to iOS 9 incompatibility issues, players with any previous versions of ReconInForce will not be able to play after upgrading to iOS 9. ReconInForce version 2.0 will only be available to users that have upgraded to iOS 9. So after you upgrade to iOS 9 this Wednesday, keep a close eye on the App Store for version 2.0 of ReconInForce.

    THANK YOU!!!

    This is huge! I can’t wait to create and start playing pre-deployed maps, for once we won’t be able to take for granted an infinite supply of units 😀

    Dear creator. Due to your new map editor release I am sure you are not releasing another update for some time. Therefore I propose a new type of gameplay past and future. If you get this update you can select 1 of 3 choices. Past future and present. The past is simple just change the textures of the tanks to camouflage from ww2 present is you average rif but after completing your ww2 campaign you can change cammo on your tanks. Future is a bit harder make the tanks with two turrets or something and new cammo. I know your probably not reading this but if you are please consider my designs. P.s I love your game it is amazing plz make a number 2£&@😀😻👾

      First off, Eddy, I am totally reading your post 😉 Second off, I think that is a pretty good idea! I can’t for sure say “yes” right now to new skins because of budget reasons. But, I think your idea is really neat and definitely possible!

      Check out the Forums too, there’s a thread specifically for adding new features. Other players might like to hear your idea! http://www.reconinforce.com/forums/topic/new-content-requests/
