BF2S Forums ...why we'll probably never see a PLA urban map

Songhua is in my top 3 fav maps (toss up between Dragon Valley, Fu She Pass, and Songhua).  All the maps are really randomized (no 2 games ever play out the same) and I've had my best BF2 experiences on them. 

I remember on Songhua once, me and 3 other Special Ops were blowing shit up in the Chinese base, when we realized that they were taking the rest of our flags.  Once we saw a tank and 2 apc's roll up to the chinese base (the final flag that we owned) we booked it and started heading for the US base across the northern swamps.  Since it was just us 4 on a 32 sized map, the Chinese couldn't find us due to no UAV or scan.  At one point a bumblebee (Chinese transport helo) fully loaded flew about 50 meters away, so we hid in that sunken ship in the north.  We finally managed to sneak all the way back to the US base (after losing 1 guy who went his own way to cap a central flag) we capped it and turned the whole game around to win.

We need a PLA urban map!
or at least ANY kind of PLA vs MEC map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

songhua is a brilliant map, i just wish more realized it.
the War is Hell Gaming I/O server had a trial run on it for awhile, but it was taken off cause the server population dropped on it.

16 player IO is pretty sweet. Roxgaming and some other 16 player IO server throws it in. Very fun!

This one ought to be played much, much more.

Hell yes! More 16-32 player maps for this map would rule.

However, unless it was IO, it probably wouldn't take off

We should have this in the BF2s Au server rotation *hint, hint*

Stalemate is by far my favorite map.  Problem is, whenever this map loads on a server (if ever) all the "City map/urban" players leave. 

Yea, it's a hike up those mountains, but it is so easy to set up ambushes and just destroy some unsuspecting player.  What's more frustrating than spending 2 min. climbing the hill to get gang knifed by an entire squad as soon as you make it to the top?

Most of the armor is also APCs so all you gotta do is get a gunner in the blackhawk and vuala, instant APC destruction.

Oh, and even better!  The fog!  Yes, most of you may not like it, but hey, not so many snipers sitting in the corner of the map where they can see everything.  Also, those of us with terrible graphics cards don't have such a disadvantage as the other people.

I wonder how many people would actually play on a 24/7 Songhua server. I certainly would.

Same here.

I used too look for servers to play it, but i quit because its too much fuss. Id like to see a 24/7 server though. Or at least a populated one with frequent rotation..

There WAS a PLA urban map.

It was like mashtuur.. hell, it could have been mashtuur pre-release. Just look at the HUD transparancy options screen: PLA flag, urban map.


also, Songhua rules for four, now three things:

-C4
-AT mines (water & long grass = shitloads of kills.)
-Armor whoring (convoys of 3-6 pieces of armor)

and before 1.2:
-Blackhawk whoring

infantry really isnt much fun on it.. but it's a good "genuine BF2" map.
