Ever played with a good side on the USMC? Obviously not... In anycase... It USED to be balanced quite well, now it is not purely because of the J-10.... I find creative use of the RIBs gets me to the Island quite well (i.e. 4 AT in the passenger seats to kill the tanks on the peninsulars...).AT3am_Murd0ch wrote:

I have played it many times with a good US team, and i've won it a good few times as them - the trouble with wake is that without the US team being much better than the chinese, it's pointless - I find that too many times you end up capping a flag and calling for assistance from your squad, only to look on the map to find all 5 other squad members are sitting on the carrier waiting their turn for the jet....Flecco wrote:

Doesn't happen much in Oz anymore... J-10 kicks the crap out of it... I've seen the F-35B completely abandoned at one stage...AT3am_Murd0ch wrote:

True this is one possiblity that will most likely happen. But at the same time it is a good "idea" for a new map.. Just like any other map it would have its goods and bads. Like a Karkand / mashtur with closer and more buildings and smaller streets. Rooms you can go in, hotels you can enter and would be a "real" Hotel. Something of that nature would could be a tight game.Longbow wrote:
If EA & DICE will make one pure infantry map , 90% players will play only one map . I thinked about the question "why everybody play city maps?" and find an answer - because most of players are ill with their stats & points , stats sistem is total bullshit , the only thing that they needed to place in stats was points , rank , unlocks . And no k\d ratio , most are worryfied about playing "non-infantry" maps because of shitty ratio and points , because of totally vehicle ownage on this maps .
Thats all I wanted to say .

Im with u on that man. Bf2 is all about vehicles. If i want a taste of infantry ill play a round of Karkalander. Not saying i wouldn't play a map with no vehicles but it kinda defeats the purpose of Bf2. My first thought when i read about Bf2 was a shooter where u can drive tanks, helos, jets and fight on the ground.....Sawwwweeeeeet.Longbow wrote:
Go play CS , there is no tanks , APC , helo's etc . It is Battlefield 2 man , and you yourself choose this game , so don't cry about maps without vehicles , vehicles is main fiture in BF2 .
p/s I'm not an armor whore , I play infantry on infantry maps .

USMC had 2 Bradleys, Iraqis had 2 MBTs. Berlin was dominated by tanks.Flecco wrote:
I thought BF2 was BF2 because of the Teamwork element that the different kits brought in ALONG with the vehicles....
Correct me if I'm wrong but Berlin was vehicle free.... I think, dodgy memory though.

Operation FlashPoint was another first to combine an online Fps with vehcles.Torin wrote:

Desert Combat had a few infantry only maps, Basrah Nights and Bridge I believe.
BF1942 with no mods had no infantry-only maps, and I doubt BF2 will ever have an infantry only map.
The Battlefield series is DEFINED by the variety of weapons and vehicles. What sets it apart from infantry-only games like CS:S is the fact that it has a variety of vehicles on every map. The use of planes and helicopters in FPS games was pioneered by BF1942, and it has been one of the key reasons why it has been so successful.
BF2 is NOT and will never be an infantry game like Counter Strike. The best you can hope for is a mod.
I really think BF2 needs the anti-air weapons Desert Combat had. No one bitched and whined about planes in DC like they do in BF2, and it's because of the ass-awful implemention of AA. We need shoulder-mounted dumb-fire Stingers and we need flak cannons.
Edit: Actually, Basrah Nights had humvees and trucks, so I think Bridge was the only infantry only map.
