Ok, I was just looking around at alot of BF2 forums..total.BF2 and some others, I saw this post "Battlefield 1942" which turned this great idea on.

~Keep the new~
I would love for EA to stop coming out with the maps that took them 10 minutes to create and come back with the ones they took 5 days to create! I would really enjoy for them to stop pretending there awsome because they pleased like 500 in the world because there coming out with the new infantry only map "Road to Jalalabad". Dont get me wrong, its probably a great map and I along with the other 499 people out there will probably enjoy it but, its not the same as the old maps..More details and more secrets to reveal than the new BLAH ones..

~Give the old back~
Now, back in the day, (about a year ago) Battlefield 1942 was the one of the biggest hits in multiplayer combat games. The only reason BF2 is still here is because we like the old maps, Wake Island, Gulf of Oman and much more..And because Everyone thought BF2 was going to be the best game there is! Well FYI, it isnt I think its 10th or 11th ranked on alot of huge gaming websites. I would enjoy the old maps like Omaha Beach and the original big hits! They try to be hot but there just cool, not hot but not cold!

Um..Apreciate if u +1 me because this took me like the whole day to type. **leave your name..

Your true Bf2 player,

1 or 2 remade maps, good ol Alamain, and battleships........oh baby i love battleships. But thats all you need to make bf2 an even more kick ass game. and it is the ONE AND ONLY best online game imo, not that FILTHY WoW.

So true, so true. filthy plague, it needs to be BEATEN

Screw remaking a few maps they should remake BF 1942 completely with new maps and everything. God I loved that game. It wasn't as easy to shoot down an enemy airplane with AA. Planes had to land to rearm (from what I remember). Destroyers and Subs were awsome. We had more than 5 commo rose (or w/e you wanna call it) options. Shit EA should just scrap BF 2142 (even I like it and wanna play it) and just remake with BF 1942 with better graphics and a crap load of new stuff added to it.

As long as there is a logical reason to be fighting modern warfare on any of those old battle grounds, not just like, OOOO lets go remake bf1942 maps for bf2 just because we want to, i like things that make sense
Like for Omaha beach, maybe they could make a booster where the conflict is between the US and EU, who no longer were allies and engaged in war for some reason. So the US planned a beach landing on Omaha Beach and paratroops over france, stuff like that as long as the story plots and backround info make sense in this new modern era

Umm.. Yeeaa.. Thats what i meant, just remake the bf1942 maps for bf2...not make bf1942 better...jsut remake the maps and add to like a bosster pack "Battlefield 1942 returns to Modern warfare" or something like AF and EF and SF..idk..

EA probably wont listen..its there way or no way.

In a desperate attempt to further increase company profits, EA forces have made a significant breakthrough in the battle against their competitors. Old battlefields are once again lit up with machinegun fire and artillery blasts in the new expansion:

BF2: A Blast from the Past, Fury Force.

SF maps are genius. Lets take Surge or Devils Perch. Unique and original.

I can tell you don't have a clue about map making. I have sucessfully designed maps for other games and taken first in mapping competitions and I can tell you it takes WAY more than 10 mins, even 5 days to come up with anything.

With a game like Battlefield 2, you need to strike a balance with gameplay and have good framerate at the same time. The construction of the map itself can take anywhere from 1 month to 4 or 5 months.

Yeah mapmaking isn't to be sneezed at (why is that an expression? who insults people via sneezing? weak!), a friend of mine was a mapper for the highly-rated but underplayed HL mod Hostile Intent, he mapped for them very consistently for over a year and only produced 3 maps in that time, all of which were amazing. I myself make maps for Garry's Mod for HL2 and my current project is one I've been working on, on and off, for the better part of a year. Certainly for DICE it's a fulltime job rather than a recreation, but making maps is a very, very involved process.

While we're talking about making maps for BF / BF2, here's one for anyone who knows the tricks:

Terragen FTW.

Fck me I LOVE Surge. It's so many things, it's the layout, the great passes which are perfect for ambushes, the spacing of the flags (close enough for infantry to walk it without making it another Karkand clone, far enough for vehicles to be important too), the freakin RPG, god's gift to the AT kit (why couldnt THAT be the second tier unlock for AT? <3 ) and last and most importantly, if the rebels win they hear the GREATEST victory music ever devised.
