i would love a 24/7 songhua map
IronFerret's clan ran a server out of Texas running 24/7 Songhua for a while, didn't get much action on it though as most people were unaware of its existance. Besides, I had crap pings on it which annoyed me...tthf wrote:

I enjoy Sharqi (Groundpounding on Wake is the best though...) alot but I'm starting to visit the other maps of BF2 more, even though I have to face the dreaded loading screens (crap computer, I have massively long loading screens)... All I ask for is a server that runs four rounds per map, that is it... Never going to get one here in Oz though.
Why do I enjoy Sharqi alot? Reasonably quick action, some great CPs for teamwork and the attack choppers seem to move so slowly that I can take them down with my SRAW . I just hate it when I end up babysitting the TV station because my team doesn't seem to realise that it is important...
-EDIT-
@ Millitant... Play AT or Engineer, Songhua is a great map for ambushes...

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
Shongua is my favorite map for ambush. The trees and steep slopes can be worked around, and my 6800 Ultra renders the area seamlessly.
What I REALLY want to see is a 24/7 Kubra16 server with a 32-48 player max. No love is given to the scaffolding.

Shongua seemed boring for me, i was on a full 32 server and it seemed nobody was killing and that the convoy of APC's on both sides were just flag hopping with very little actual action, infact this is what i see alot in country maps. Flag hopping and little action inbetween, no real battles for flags. Very boring. It's not that it happens intentionaly it's that you can cap a flag and the only real thing you will see is the odd artillery against you, you can wait and nothing will happen so you decide to cap that flag, surprisingly nobody is defending it. You do that again and again and it just is so boring very few play it. Whereas maps like Karkand have action almost all the time. Therefore is the funnest, aswell as you can get alot of points. Which means alot of people play on those maps.
I'd like to see fan made maps supported on Ranked servers. I understand there's a Somalia map in the files section of this.
Oh, and lets be honest, who wouldn't like to see the BF1942 favourites returned to BF2...El Alamein and Gazala.

i'll play all maps and don't switch teams so my win/loss is around 1.15. however, i just realized that i have a pretty dominant (2.71) win ratio on songhua. here's how i usually play songhua:
1) pick commander
2) gaurd your base by all means necessary (c4, mines, apc). usually they'll try to get your base with a heli or some lone buggy which is pretty easy with UAV at your disposal.
3) send your squads to take the other base and destroy enemy assets
4) once you've got both main bases and they got no assets or helicopters, the game is pretty much over. also, retaking those bases if they are actually being gaurded is pretty difficult...especially with no UAV, Scan or Arty.

Karkand: because you don't have to look up. You see a tank, run, hide, and maybe you can touch the tracks without the driver seeing you. Other maps: you see the choper, the chopper sees you, you start to run, try to hide, run around corners, but the gunner laughs at you, has a cup of tea and when you think you have got a good place to hide, he pulls the trigger
Shongua: pretty cool, but somehow its hard to find a server/ enough people to play this map
