I was wondering.....in this stage of the game....would it be worth making a new map for BF2? I can see where there could be several infantry type city maps made for the expansion packs (AF and EF) but the best would be for a PLA city map. There are some very good ideas here in the forums. I wonder if EA would even back other people....maybe make a map making contest of it....to the public map makers to build a map and make it part of the series/ranked.

Instead of making a pretty basic map (Highway Tampa) that a lot of BF2 mappers could make. Why not involve the community and get some nice new maps to play on. I think it would generate a lot more interest back into BF2 to see what people could create. In the end, the maps could be played on (beta tested), people could vote and the winners would be included in a new map pack (5-10 of the top vote getters) to be ranked. That would be good for EVERYONE. You get new maps for players to play on, EA doesn't have to do anything but promote it (voting, screenshots and beta testing approval) and it would involve everyone in the community putting some life back into this game. Everyone could really feel a part of this.

Couldn't hurt, could it!!! I'm pretty new here, so if this has been discussed before, then I apologize but I hope the community could breathe some more life into an idea like this. Public involved, EA involved, new map pack and everyone smiling.......what do you think?

Been suggested before. Last time I don't think EA did anything but yawn.

I'm not really talking about a patch or wish list to be in a patch. A map pack could be released any time regardless of a patch. Right now EA is running a "Dog Tag" competition for 2142. How much of a stretch would it be to sponsor a map making contest for BF2 and let the community have some say and spice things up a bit. It would be great to have a series of new maps created, tested, voted on by its users. Finally, EA actually wouldn't have to do hardly any work whatsoever....just posting info then supplying the pack when it was all completed. All we would need is there cooperation to help promote and eventually publish the pack. If there was a big push for this idea...not just forum posts...maybe an inside guy or two...it could get done. It sure is simple enough.

some of the CAL maps are pretty nice, you could pester EA a ton, and pester CAL admins a ton, and see if you can get some of the better maps to get added into the ranked maps area

it would never happen but you could satisfaction from bugging them weekly (EA)

Excuse my ignorance...but what are the CAL maps. Is there a way to see these, play on them? I purchased this game quite awhile ago but havent started playing until about 5 months ago and recently joined these forums. So excuse my noobiness. Thanks.

i haven't even read it, but no. why? because they don't listen to the public. they have enough money not to. and, generally speaking, most public ideas suck (eg: "make kp servers allowed" "make new map where everyone gets j10")

They may as well make them "allowed" it's not like anyone who wants to play on them doesn't for fear of a reset.

Maybe if we got every person to sign a petition saying that if EA doesn't comply we will all burn every copy of an EA game we've ever had? Would it work? Do I really care? Nope and nope.
