My clan's currently comparing differences between 32 & 64 maxplayer maps while deciding which size to implement for our rotations.  One concern is deciding if the total (both teams) vehicle (tank, apc, jeep, helo, jet, etc) allocations vary from 32 to 64 player maps.  I've seen at least one map that had identical vehicle counts for both sizes, they're just distributed differently across the map.  However, thus far I am unable to verify it for all maps.

I tried making a local server & checking each flag manually.  Problem is not all maps start out with flags assigned to teams, & so nothing spawns there.  Can't capture flags w/o an active game running.  Active servers have people using vehicles as soon as they spawn, so that's not really an option either.

I'd be willing to bet some junky somewhere has already parsed this information out, but I'm having a heck of a time finding it if it's really out there.

Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or url's that might help out?

Thanks in advance!

I have a book, where all the flags and the vehicle spaws for all original BF2-maps are descriped.
The book is called "Battlefield2 advanced tactical book" by primagames.com...

Honestly, I'm not interested in learning the secrets of battlefield eliteness.  If I could just get a count of what's in the map, I wouldn't even care to know *where* it's at.  I just need to know the total numbers for this single application in deciding how to setup our server map rotation.  I'd rather not buy a whole tactics book to satisfy a single question that really has nothing to do with the purpose of the book, outside of it being bf2.

Regards

alot of the control points have different vehicle spawns for different teams, and not just the team specific vehicles (I.E vodnik or humvee.)

For example, the westernmost outpost on OMAN spawns a tank for the U.S team, but an apc for the MEC.

you should rethink playing clanwars if you dont know what vehicles spawn at which flag...i for my account know close to all apc/tank spawns for all sides on each map i usually play (thats all of the 32 and 64maps and some of the 16, too). SO just go out and play some bf2, youll know it quite fast

Thanks Skruples.  All those posts & only yours actually made an attempt to offer information pertinent to the question.  That's helpful info to know that more changes than just the team tag on a given piece of equipment.  I'll be sure to make my comparisons on the basis of both a 100% US held map, & 100% non-US held map.

For the rest, Tard, I know why he posted the book title.  Never the less, before & after your response I wouldn't want to buy an entire book to answer 1 question.  I'm not interested in tactics, strats, or anything involving the actual gameplay.  Why pay for a tactics guide that costs half as much as the game itself to get information that is not sekret, copyrighted, otherwise special knowledge.

Nalta this has nothing to do with clan wars either.  I read the text of everyone's response, kindly do the same for mine before you attempt an answer or remark.  Thanks, but I do play BF2, & I do appreciate that you are the god of clan wars & have memorized how many blades of grass it takes to support a corpse 1" above the ground, but it's irrelevant here.

Thanks for the reply Zenit. 

Unfortunately for me I've visited that site before & did again today on your advice.  No dice on what I seek.  They do have annotated maps for the 32 player variety of Some maps, but are missing others, and have no info at all for the 64 player size.

I'm also fiddling with the bf2editor to see if I can work backward through the stock bf2 level files to get what I'm after, but there's something of a learning curve.

Just get a 64 player server and make it 24/7 Sharqi
