BF2S Forums Zatar Wetlands

no place to hide from AA, me thinks

mainly because you're an open target and there's no cover when traveling from CP to CP, so if i'm in a boat or a jeep i get gunned down by a passing by jet. so i end up not getting anywhere...

then there's the part about when you get to a base it's already been capped and the other teams gun barrels are pointed up your ass when you get there since they're trying to take the flag back and you get killed the moment you get there.

that's pretty much the reason why i hate Zatar.

i know tv2 does a zatar only server it's 64 player. it always has plenty of people in it.

Either way, you have to get to the action by foot. And that takes an eternity on that map. As soon as you are there, you'll meet one of your enemies who was fast enough to get an APC, Tank, etc. and you'll be dead.

Spawn at your far-away flag again and start over.

That's why I don't like it.

Ditto that....same with Kubra and even Taraba on EF - although only at the start of the round. Hate those kind of maps.

That's how it is with all vehicle maps tbh. Probably some exceptions but whatever. Apparently in Euroforce there's a million tanks, i played USI and it has maps like that too. Quite fun. BF2 does it wrong, either have loads of vehicles or very few in a small map. Karkand 64 has a stupidly large amounto of APC's/Tanks whilst 64 massive maps have very few vehicles. All done horribly wrong...

Edit: I like Zatar though, just not enough servers running it.

i came close.. lol

no cookie for me

What I don't like about it is that if you're unlucky enough to spawn somewhere without a vehicle, you're basically screwed.  You could sit around waiting for however long it takes for all that spawn-point's vehicles to be destroyed and respawn, or you can start a long march towards some distant point, and inevitably die along the way.

It's also too easy for aircraft to completely dominate the map.  Even Cleansweep has better cover for foot-troops and vehicles.  If you don't want to fly, or don't get the opportunity, then you're not going to be fighting on an even balance with the opposition, which sucks.

I got 117, full 64 map.

My best round is that map-  That's where I got my kill streak too - 71.  Ended up 91-3, MEC Heli FTW

Zatar's a fun map.  I like the scenery better than the other MEC maps and I can usually get some good fun going even without being in the air.  I've had some tremendous fun as Support and AT on Zatar.
