I love the infantry only mode! I wouldn't say 90% of people are snipers, but of course we play on different servers. Last night I was trying to get my team to flank em up the right side to get to the flags. Just make sure you have full sprint when you get to the top of the first hill. Then run like hell across the opening to the top of the next ridge. Let your sprint recharge and then run all the way the first flag. Presto! Flag capped! Helps to have a squad to support you once you cap the flag, though. The firefights are really intense around the flags . . . this map is what BF2 was intended to be.Wojo97civic wrote:

Excellent map, tough to be in command of the MEC though...but its a good challange
yea it is great
Even though I have great fun in jalalabad, I do agree with Superior Mind when he says it looks like a cheesy custom map. The texturing is just poor compared to the other vanilla maps, and the environment to ME isn't nearly as engrossing as, let's say, Kubra Dam, Karkand, or Songhua Stalemate. Also, I believe(at least for now) that this map has the most linear arrangement of control points out of all the vanilla maps I've played. However, I AM just nitpicking, as the urban warfare combat on jalal. is top notch. So at LEAST Dice got the gameplay right:p
I disagree, as I LOVE traveling miles and miles of land in bigger maps with "less" intense cp fights, even if my whole squad and I travel miles and miles of land to reach a cp, just to be blown the hell up from out of the "unknown"(lol) by a j-10 a split second after. I heard bf2142 is more infantry focused than vehicle focused. Even though I think I'll like bf2142 for the promise of greater squad work, I'll still like my bf2 for its balance of great infantry maps and great vehicle/traveling maps.Stingray24 wrote:

Indeed...i think Jalalabad is the greatest map EA done so far...The patch 1.4 itself is the best patch they did.
Ill prolly have some people flaming me for saying that 1.4 is the best patch...i can hear that comming : What the fuck are you crazy i cant dolphin dive anymore...it now take skills to kill!!!!1!!shiftandone!!!11Eleven

I like it...great firefights going on.
Jalabad is fantastic, when it's infanrty only. I love the battles for the first outpost. It feels like Flanders Fields or something of the sort in World War 1.
Agree, I've played a few times.liquidat0r wrote:

I hate snipers, but who doesnt that ?
But when you get your hands on a tank, you'll get going in no time
Its a fun map for infantry only if the US team can cap a flag in town. Other than that, its a sniperfest and the US gets slaughtered.
