BF2S Forums Why do you think Wake is good?

Because This map have EVERY transports avalaible and which every transport can make a diference.

you can sit in a AA and kills something every 15 seconds
you can sit in a mounted machine guns and kill tons of soldiers
you can take a dune buggy and do some road kills like crazy (the best thing about wake to me)
you can take a tank and do some serious ownage
you can take choppers and do some serious ownage
you can take jets and do some real rampage

Theres no fuckin fog!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its green, blue and sunny, way diferent from a lot of maps

Everything is going on a little island so all the heat and fights are close together so u dont have to walk 5 mins to reach the battle.

The map have a huge open air space good for jet and choppers fights and good for the Black Hawk to sneak behind the ennemy lines and drop people at the airfield

Its a good map to get air and air defense badges/ribbons fast and easy.

Its an old map from BF1942

oh and the best map to get ur WCD Ribbon, 9 times out of 10 China will win unless u have a good squad on uscm that is deploying quick.

and yeah its my favorite map of all time 150 hours played on it and 400 wins/70 losses. and who ever say its hard to win on the USMC side is because he never tried to win. You can capped out China team in not more then 5  minutes, done it many times.

^best round on wake

Teach me your flying skills, oh wise one.

Its just an awesome landscape. Its not depressing and dreary like Karkand. I mean you might say, what about Oman, well thats just lonely. So many building and so little people. I mean wake is just pretty if you ask me. Yes, I am male, but someone's gotta have a sensitive side while making headshots. Which bring me to my next point, Krackhouse Wake is like a penthouse for points and for sniping, it may just be my favorite map.

You should come to our 24/7 Wake then!! It has gotten easier to maintain, the first day we had it up there were tkers and airfield jihaders that got kicked and banned; filled up the whole page. Wake is much better to get to than people think, USMC actually can get the North Base rather easy. What would make it even fun than it already is; is to make the boat move around the isle up to the North Base in a U shape to the Beach (can't get to the Airfield though) and has to stay certain distance away. Then all the USMC asshats won't be bitchin' . IF half of the people would understand that there is only ONE plane and it isn't coming back for 15 seconds and work as a team the Chinese would be shitting thier pants because 2 flags would already be gone.

its crap simply cos its a case of jump in the j-10 or be killed by it.

i prefer karkland. no cheap kills in planes and a better atmosphere, keeps you alert and on your feet. on wake you might as well just stand their and wait for the j-10 cos its gonna get you.

note the forum title. no one cares about karkand

Can't say I think much of Wake at all TBH.. 2 straight lines of land a ship and a blob of sand with some arty on it... hardly the most complicated of arenas, so no design awards.

Design Awards, of course not. They didn't design it smarty it's a real island from WWII.

Hello, thread starter here again!

Especially with the introduction of the L96, I've found Wake turning into a giant sniper fest. It seems everyone who isn't in a plane or tank is a sniper. The "great" linear level design means that a group of snipers is almost impossible to pass, as there's no way to outflank them. Pretty much the only thing you can do is snipe them back, which makes the level end up with two huge camps of snipers being arty'ed, choppered and bombed. Any attempt to play anti tank to releive the chopper pressure only involves you receiving multiple sniper shots if you leave cover for a second. Also, the wide views into most of the bases allows for huge amounts of sniper spawnraping.

It's not so much of a problem since the AA boost, but the linear design also made bombers unstoppable. There were only two paths they had to fly, giving them total control of the map.

As far as I understand it, in BF42 they had movable destroyers which could shell the land. That would obviously make it a great map, but it seems to have been ruined by BF2. Don't even get me started on Karkand and Sharqi - I'll just say they're full of pointwhores, which has spoilt them, rather than map faults.

the color are nice but i dont think its the best map... for me the best map is STRIKE :-D.... ask BlaZin.Uk and Firestrom :-P looll.... they are strike addicted 2 nway wake is a good map but only for chopper and jet whore:-P

I like Wake cause it's the best map for dogfighting with the Jet, Me like jet, Although I never bomb the US Aircraft carrier, There is no Honour in continuous bombing.

Besides I always give the US a chance in Wake to get off the Carrier,

It;s also really fun on the ground really close range battles and if you use it well you can put the Sniper's Camo-netting to good use

I hate wake island. I am not much of a flying ace so it is almost impossible to play the map as US for me until someone captures a flag on the island. Then when I spawn there the tank is just coming around and it blows me away then I'm stuck again. I usually try to get commander position on that map because I hate having to play as infantry on it.

Its Better Than Karkand If You Want To Fly, And Its A Bigger Map.

i like wake because theres a bit of everything, good sniping spots, bit of jetting (has been ruined by the J10's being improved), you can get in a tank but still get owned unless your good cause antitank can see you from miles away, not to mention that its i big map but your always close to a fit and you dont have to walk for miles to get to a fight and every class has its +s though support is not that good for the map

the only thing that can ruin it is when the USMC have huge amounts of plane whores who dont play as a team and so your entire team gets rapped and you cant get flags hence no infantry fights which means that you dont get any points for the entire round and everyone gets pissed off

most of the time though its a good map
