BF2S Forums How long will Highway Tampon last?

I would have liked to have seen at least an attack helo for each side, but if you like tanks then it should last awhile. More FAVs would be nice. The longevity of the map depends on the corrections they make for the real version of the map.

is one attack chopper for each team that terrible?  christ, even a couple little birds would be nice.  instead they cater to god damned armor whores.

Since the expert armor badge requires 400 Hrs i would say that a map like Tampa Bay is a great way to rack up some armor time.
It`s also a fun map to be commander in.
But seeing how many players have most of their time on IO karkand servers, i can understand that this map might not appeal to the medic whores...
Tampa Bay is a great way to play the engineer and anti tank kits.

As an armor whore, I liked the map until the first time I was stuck without a tank (and the music stopped).  It was boooooring waiting for a vehicle to respawn, because there was no way in hell I was walking to the next town just to get blown up by a tank and then make that walk all over again.  One attack chopper per side would be nice.  Also another 2-3 tanks, apcs, or AA vehicles. 

Pretty soon this map will lose its novelty (<1 month) and then Intel's ads will be literally in the middle of nowhere.

My stats haven't updated yet.

Little Birds are AF, so they can't easily dump them into basic BF2. Needs more jeeps as said. Sucks getting stuck behind when you aren't squad leader. Choppers would own the armour, so that would defeat the purpose.

The real clean up it needs is the flag locations and scenery set up. The flags are too close to the USMC start. If MEC doesn't barrel down the highway immediately, then they get owned. Requires team work too. My first few games were great becuse the MEC side were reaping, but then a few players must have left &/or the commenader changed, and we started getting owned. I went from being in the middle of the pack in grabbing the petrol station or southern/western flags, to being at the front getting overwhelmed because I had no support. There was also no co-ordination from the commander so we get reamed.

So it exaggerates a bad team's flaws, which makes it more likely you bug out to another server when you get sick of it.

If they leave it as is (and don't be surprised if they do), it will die off in a few months. As it isn't as agood a map as Wake or the 'bad (the latetr which I love). But if they clean it up it will get all the armour whorz in because it is perfect for them. Without choppers and only 2 jets, the tank battles are pretty fun. Desert Combat for 1942 was popular for a reason (although keep in mind the guys that designed that map did a very good job, not the throw together which tampa is).

I recon it wont last its to similar to Road Rage.

i think people need to stop bitching.

be happy you got a new map, play it or dont.

PLA city map would be the best thing that ever happened to the AK47 - easily the best AR in the game

It will last as long as Jalalabad, if the final release is there, even longer because of the I/O only option.

This map on IO is like Zatar on IO! This map is only fun now as it is. Massive armour battles and from time to time a plane to break the stalemate. I love this map! And I am not even a huge armour whore.
Yesterday I just joined a server with 4 clanmates and we all got the armour, we like drove side by side in one huge convoy crushing anything in our path! Beat that karkand!

Yes it is that terrible! One chopper has enough fire power to destroy 13 at least before reloading! It would totally destroy the map as we know it now. It really gives me a COD feeling, when you see a convoy of tanks, followed by infantry comming towards you

You forget that this map is really useful if you want to get your expert armor and your expert engineer badges.
Medal of Valor too.

??? I need expert engineer, but how do I get it here? Repair team's tanks like crazy? Is that what you mean?

As for the map - Tampa ftw!!! Not best map ever (Karkand is THE map), but still very good.

Ur right mate
