operation clean sweep is the map with the worst tactics. really annoyng, on mec 1 round out of 5 i simply wait for the americans to land but if you have a good pilot on the mig they'll never approach the shore

gulf of oman is good, the only problem is that usmcs at the very beginning of the round spawn only on carrier, so the 4 flags on the shore are captured by mecs within the first 20 seconds. Anyway when the battle moves to the land it's a good map

shongua tactics are good, the only thing that makes it the worst bf2 map is that shitty fog that really pisses me off. if only there would be a way to turn it off...

The problem with this map is, there are not so many servers where the map is in the cycle. And the better you know a map, the better you get on it. The first hours on a map are always bad. And especialy if the routes are not so easy to understand. And hills force you to know the terairn better. Or you just run around searching a fight and will nerver find it.
And when I look at my stats: 286 h total gametime, 4,5 h on Songhua Stalemate. So not very much. But the last time I played 2 rounds on a very populated server with good teamplay and I enjoyed the fight.
The map I just start to understand/like/enjoy is FuShe Pass. I always hated that map. But it starts to get better.

In the beginning I used to hate it. I used to hate the fog and the hills you couldn't climb up. I used to avoid it, leave servers when it came up etc...

After a while, I grew to like it. It's a Anti-tank and Engineers paradise. Before v1.2 it was good for some good old fashioned heli-whoring.
Getting a squad of engineers and APC's together can be unstoppable.

It's just got a good realistic atmosphere about it, a nice change from all the other map types.

Personally, I think Cleansweep is the worst map, closely followed by Wake island. Wake Island in 1942 was so much better.
Karkand sh!ts me simply because of all the no-tactics retards who jump down in the hotel spam and lose the game for you no matter how good you or your squad is. I can only handle Karkand in small doses because watching all the fools makes me pretty angry after a while.
Funnily enough, Karkand and Cleansweep are my 2nd and 3rd most played maps, perhaps that's why I don't like them...?

Songhua Stalemate is my favourite map. There are so many places to hide too, which gives ground infantry a fighting chance against LAVs and Tanks. Most of the time, you'll be lucky enough to hide in the bamboo forest etc..

The visuals are simply beautiful too. As a matter of fact, I prefer the Chinese maps to the MEC ones by a longshot.

Worst map for me is Kubra.. it's just too open and if you're caught out without a car, it's a long walk because of all the damn hills etc.. cant stand the dam itself either. Makes for awkward, annoying battles.

I love the fog. Very atmospheric, and it helps you to hide.

In an interesting twist Karkand, which everyone else loves, makes me want to die and uninstall the game.
But... Karkand is your most played map.. beats Songhua by 10 hours.

Id like it to go on the record that that was from my pre 1.03 patch days of desperately trying to get to 10 500 points for a G36C

Well, i got my first Gold medal on Shongua whole round in a BH without being shot down...but hell i did some nice damage there with the minigun . the map is great...except sometimes the LAV whoring that seem to be like...1 team has 70% of all the LAV's that crap...but its good for your AT pracice just hide somewhere in the foggy area..behind some trees and blow them up. and also its funny for you Buggy a la Jackass style going down the hill without using brakes (didnt know buggy's had them) i just whent full throttle down hill....barely escaped death most of the time...but 1 time i did something amazing i went down hill just like 80º down...and a PLA chopper fully loaded landed on the side of the hill road and i crashed against it i blew it up because he was on fire lol

Exactly. This is probably the only map out there where the Engineer gets gold. I've taken out an entire convoy by my lonesome as engineer. Easy to hide mines and so many places to hide/flank. I don't play it much because I don't see it much on rotation. True, prior to the patch, it was basically flag musical chairs. But now, playing defensive can actually yield more points.

Also, shotgun rules in this map.

I was stuck with dial-up for the first few months that I had BF2, so I could only play Single-player. I pretty muched played Stalemate more than any others during that time, I love the map. Now I have broadband, and I've NEVER seen this map come up in the rotation, it's really dissapointing. I'd love to play it but I just never see it come up.

2nd worst. First is Zatar Wetlands. Total crap. They can take both out and add warlord and ghosttown to vanilla BF2 then they could eliminate SF.

I love Clean Sweep, especially if you're MEC, I like infiltrating the USMC base and destroy assets and sniping people out of jets and helo's.

actually, a really good place to snipe from on that map is on top of the carrier next to the helo pads.

Must have sniped about 10-15 people out of the BH and AH.

Then i got killed by a pilot flying over me.

I also like oman, good sniper map

I like Songhua. The only map I really dislike is Wake Island, which I guess is wierd because everyone in the game seems to love it....
