I like Zatar and I didn't think ANY server would do it infantry only so I didn't check the server options. The game took nearly an hour and became a sniper only round. All I could see was L96A1, M24 and M95 kills.

Was it fun? Actually Yes!
Was it worth it? No, there are better games out there, but interesting anyway.

Later that day the server still played Zatar but was switched back to Vehicles.

I still think that there should be kit/vehicle-specific maps. Zatar wetlands would make a great "true sniping" map imo, but a somewhat more open and larger Songhua Stalemate with snipers only would be incredible - MGS3 anyone?

Zatar is great. TV2 Zatar gives good games too. I got a 167BRS on it

Although I think some intermediate flags would help it out - and its obvious from the redzone areas that it was originally planned to have more.

But...I dont think even I would try it on IO Maybe on 16size at a push...

When the Inf-only game type was implemented I immediately imagined some epic battle on the plains of Zatar. If you could orchestrate it and no one decided to be a total smacktard, line up each 32-man team and then charge....

Or seeing rivers of soldiers sticking together, hoofing it between flags.

If you had enough people and you stuck to your squads, and there were no grenade spammers or bunny hoppers, it would be incredible.

I love Zatar. I've been pushing for many 24/7 Zatar 64 Infantry Only HIGHEST POINTS servers for a long time now.

I think Zatar is very eye appealing. The sky is the perfect color and the ground is a nice camel beige. I haven't played it IO though, I also never imagined it to be. Hurricane aren't you in a clan and have admin rights? I'd think it would be easy for you to get a Zatar server up and running.

Am I the only one here that has rarely played full 16 sized maps? (I did karkand, dragon and Jalalabad a few times) I guess any 16 sized servers just end way to fast, and nobody gets many points so they don't run them...

I enjoyed it, it can end so fast from someone capturing all the flags, people tend to stick together in squads and slowly move around corners to avoid a possible rush from another squad.

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

i just find zatar very large and flat grass land. boring for me. but the oil towers really do help the jets i think.

My fave part of zatar is hoofing it with a squad through the swamps. I've spent an hour and a half just going around the three central "swampland" flags clearing and recapping them for a couple hundred points.

The infantry only version is really very fun if you have the right players. Nothing quite like telling your squad to shutup and lay low because you hear enemies tromping through the muck just on the other side of these trees here.....

Ive been looking for a small maps server that runs Zatar on 16....It seems like it would be good
I tried to get my clan to run something like
Zatar
Fushe
Sharqi
and Kubra
16 size maps on our smaller second server but no one was into the idea, and the server is gone now...

I like the idea of small maps with one main point to capture and one point to defend to kinda move everything in together and force some teamwork....

I once played Dragon Valley inf only on a 64 player map with 24 other people. It was sooo boring!
Not even the fact that there where only snipers, but the endless walking to get from one flag to another was no fun at all. I think even the 16 sized Dragon map would be too big for inf only..

16 Dragon is an awful lot of walking but its fun all the same.
