BF2S Forums Am I the only one turned off by Wake Island?

I used to love wake until I realized it's a jet whore's paradise..and it's a completely unbalanced map.  Probably the most unbalanced.  Even Gulf of Oman is more balanced than Wake.

Jets need serious nerfing in this game.  The ability to kill with nearly no risk in a jet makes this a bad map.

no.. i dont like it either

I wouldn't like to say wake turns me on but yeah i like it

it would be alot better if the u.s had faster spawn times and they nerfed teh j10 a tad

Even with out the nerfed J-10 if they traded in the F35's for the F-18 like what you get at the airfield, it would be a lot better. Deffinetly with the respawn times. I dont know why that respawn times are diffrent then majority of maps.

Actually, it dosent matter about the planes. the US on the carrier have a 20 second longer vehicle spawn time. somewhere is a thread detailing the spawn times for vehicles on every map, and the PLA have a 30 second time for their planes, while the US have around a 50 second spawn time for theirs.

I didn't like it and still don't. Great in 1942, bad now.

That was because the planes were balance back in the good ol' days, now well, yeah .......

Balanced? the Zero was a Pwnage machine, and that damn Corsair sucked!

I reckon the U.S jet spawn time should be 10 seconds, so they can take out the J-10 the good ol' Russian way, send em forward till they enemy runs outta ammo and retreats

That would be great, but i think the minimum spawn time is 30 seconds

I cant even remember the last time i played Wake. Quite a long time ago.

Damnit is it hard to get the J10 as China ...
i tried ,tried , tried ...  Finally i simply asked ;can i fly J10 ?.. well some guy TK-ed me for it , another drove his FAV infront of it so my squad mate had to drive the damn thing of the runway , got shot several times by uss essex , blown up by teammates while taking off , etc etc . Had to get me that ribbon !! 15 minutes 19 kills
OH YEAH! got the damn thing after a lot of Sh!t Sorry guys for the misplaced bombdrops there hehe
Goodgame ... never get plane again ... hate it .. hate the whores a hooah !

I absolutely loved it in BF1942, but in BF2 I can't seem to take a liking to it.
USMC stands little to no chance 90% of the time. I have joined Wake servers before only to see the top china players 60-4 in the J-10 and USMC's still on the carrier.

if you dont have a jet or chopper on China, the maps extremely boring. And has USMC, theres really no point in playing it.

Can anyone give me some tips on what to do on Wake island to make the map a bit more interesting.

Your right, but its only fun when you have people that actually play as a team. It sucks when every asshat and their brother wanna nade spam eachother at one base and not spread out.
