I was messing around in Kubra yesterday trying to find an alternative route to go from the US uncap to the construction site without passing the refueling station. I tried taking a DPV through the mountains but after a certain point you have to get out and hike. Eventually I got there and realized there were quite a few great places to snipe - good cover and views to multiple flags.

But man it was quiet up there. I seriously could have brought some sandwiches, a bottle of wine and a good book. A nap would have been no problem. That's my post-modern BF2 experience. No fighting - just a good hike.

It occurred to me that if I ever wanted to film some machinema during a game, even on a full server, it would definitely be possible up there. You hardly even get a helo flying overhead.

Another great spot for a picnic or machinema would be the uber American suburbia cul-de-sacs in the east center part of Operation Road Rage. Very cool setting and some great details - ladders on the backs of houses, work sheds in the backyards, the crashed out car that rammed a stop sign. Opposing commander would probably be more likely to say MEH rather than try to arty you. It's so far away from everything that it's not even a good place to snipe.

I guess there are a few other good spots for some scenic mountain hiking. East of the Hotel and the Village fort on Oman. North central on Clean Sweep, including the small island out there.

Anyway what are some other places where you can get away from the action, enjoy the sunset, and take a quick nap?

The empty pool near the water in Sharqi. Not the one right next to the hotel, but the one that is farther east.

Do you relax in the water, or just soak your aching feet ?

I hope you don't drive afterwards

I can't believe I spelled machinima wrong. I even thought about it, is it I or E. duh

Maybe it's time for a TV show filmed within BF2. Shot on location on a public server in one of these picnicy spots.

Someone could make a mod to swap a microphone for the knife or something.

My favorite place to get away from all the action is the cranes north of Main Enterance on Dalian.  Me and my squad mate didnt want to spawn rape the carrier, so we sat up top "club Yak" as it was soon called, and just tried to see if we could hit people from where we were, we had a supply crate too.

Clubhouse on Sharqi.

mountains north of the south mine enterance (I think thats what it is...) on FuShe Pass.  Far from the action, really nice looking, can snipe if you get the itch, or just relax.

Anywhere on Songhua Stalemate... why?  Cause no one plays it! HAHA EVEN I GET MORE ACTION THAN SONGHUA!

yeah i absolutely love that suburban part of road rage.  they should have put a control point there IMO... it would be like intense firefighting in our own backyards.

are you kidding me, on warlord when the sas have one flag and the insurgents the other, the roof becomes drenched with blood and covered in bullet casings as both armies use their grappling hooks to get aboard the roof tops...

Intense? You mean some infantry getting killed by tanks, then the A10 / Frogfoot comes and slaughters the whole lot?

Yeah I like that little village.  I'm usually a specops guy these days, and I like to stop in there to smoke a bowl and have a beer down there- noone ever bothers me.  Actually there was once that I followed a sniper down there and killed him- maybe he was going there to kick back, too.

I always stumble upon places that I can tell are well thought out and would be perfect for some battles, but there are just no flags there.  These maps are begging to be modded with different flag points.
