It's not very balanced. MEC have a hard time keeping control of nearly any flags.
Infrantry only on it sucks. In the 10 or so rounds of it ive played inf only, it was all a battle on the first flag...full of snipers, grenades and medics all bunched up in packs of 10 on the hills.
32 player inf karkand is best, on the server I play on...not much nade whoring or spawn camping

I think its a good solid map or maybe thats because Ive played every other map to death! Its annoying for both sides the way if MEC lose the mosque the round is esstientially over, they must really need that spiritual guidance/motivation or something!
Its a bit unbalanced, I think. I have yet to see MEC win. And there is still a helluva lot of grenade spamming and such. But hey, and improvement from Karkland.
With vehicles it's so so.However infantry only sucks balls.It just turns into a sniper fest.
If it's on normal, there are way too many tanks for my liking. If it's infantry only, then pretty much the entire MEC team turns into snipers and camps at the Outpost flag, and the US spend the entire game trying to get to get anywhere near it.
Nice map when the tanks aren't being too bad, though. Good urban fighting.

i was just thinking about that, and i agree. i think the mosque should be an uncap. at least that way it pushes USMC to stay in the market/hotel areas.Delphy wrote:

i love it 100+ every round
so maybe it isnt hated as much as the haters want u to believe. suck it crybabys. the poll never lies majority rules so u can now shut up about jalalabad.
What map is that??BattlefieldMedic wrote:
Karkland.
after on e week of Jalalabad - I have to remark the following things:
1. I love the inf only - but 90% of all Games MEC win
2. The Vehicle Map is ok - but 90 % of all games USMC wins, and if you play on a big map with the sea flag, USMC wins 98% of all Games
3. I think the really fast cars are disturbing, because every noob turns with them into a C4 Harakiri Monster and destroys the game... how I hate them!
4. being on the roof of hotel is suicide, you can see everybody but everybody can see you
5. Mec Commander is the hardest job on the map with vehicles, because you are nearly the only one who defends the mosque, and defending the mosque is a full time job like being commander.
In my opinion this map could be optimated by :
- only 1 tank per team
- no speed cars
- -30 points for the USMC Team
and now back to something completely different

I love it... though i wish there was an option for no tanks, rather than just IO or normal
tanks spoil it
tanks spoil it
Its a good map. I like the fact its sort of Omen and Karkand. Its better than Sharqi but worse than Karkand(yes i am a whore). With vehicles on its great and IO its great is you can get through the MEC. About 7 out of 10.
If Vechiles are On its great
Not really great but still good, i like it more that Karkand but less than Sharqi. Still not a fan if city maps, i like wide open maps.

to much tanks but well placed TOWs... nice places to hide and for infantryfighting! the wall around MEC mainbase sucks! :>
Usque Ad Finem
Tank whores not included.
Jalalabad has never been discussed before, good topic.
They could've done better but there is worse
It was rough getting use to it but now it is a fun map and a needed change from Karkand. I like how you can have all the flags in the map swing back and forth from usmc to mec a couple of times before the round is over.
I like it as it is a nice mix of urban fighting and open tank battles. It is a great map to tank whore on, but only if you can adjust for the shell drop over distance and hit targets that are far away.
It does make me laugh as I see buildings that have been basically cut and pasted into Jablahblahblah from other maps.
I totally agree that with vehicles the MEC Mosque should probably have been set as an uncappable base. Once US has taken it, game over for MEC. Although it is fun charging the mosque and taking it back, but the ticket drain ends up just killing MEC's chances of winning. If it were an uncap it would probably force more of the fighting into the urban areas for infantry fighting, while the tanks fight it out over near the lake and junkyard.
For the price though...it is great!
