Lack of rotation variety

[Graphic]

I've never played Shongua Stalemate before tonight. Man it rocks. The atmosphere is great, I love the swampy, foggy setting, and I love that it's a wilderness map without attack helos and planes and not urban - that's unique if I remember correctly. The dense bamboo forests made it real easy and fun to sneak around too. I also like the fact that you can drive a boat over most of the map. I, and the community, have been missing out. With this map and others.

Why don't people play half the cool maps!? BF2, in practice, only has 4 maps: Wake, Karkand, Sharqi, & Dalian. I'd kill for 24/7 servers that run Daqing Oilfields, Shongua, FuShe, Zatar, etc... For a game with a community as huge as BF2 it sure is a shame there is such little variety in map rotations.

Anyone else agree? Any server admins here up for change?

Shongua Stalemate is a great map but its not as easy to get points on so most people stay away from those kinds of maps. Fun means nothing to point whores

Re: Lack of rotation variety

This is one of the reasons I rarely play anymore. Everyone just wants to play the city maps... Gets old.

It's a great map. Very balanced unlike some of the other chinese maps with no J-10s. This is one of the maps I actually haven't memorized all the key spots and flag locations.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

The only time i got mass points was when the PLA had capped the fish factory and i was spec ops. I kept blowing up all of the commander assets and the stupid commander kept sending supply crates from which i gained more C4 and then blew them again. He kept doing it for the whole round and i walked away with 50 or so teamwork points. Ive only played that map for 9 and a half hours

Re: Lack of rotation variety

I played all maps servers quite often afew months ago, mainly clan servers. I then had a rest from playing BF2. When I came back to playing I decided to create a new account. In the space of afew months those server's were practically non existent.

Most servers play only city and wake. Shongua Stalemate is one of my fav maps.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

I like stalemate and zater, and i play them often, and yes i am tryin to get my next rank...does'nt mean i only play city maps.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

I agree. These are awesome maps. It's a shame there are hardly any servers running them. Try this. Or this.
Maybe we can sway the admins to change the rotation.

You are smoken. There is no ranked system in CSS and Dust still is the majority of the maps out there. Every FPS I have played folks settle on a couple of very popular maps. Zatar Wetlands? That is just using foul language.

Stalemate is an ok map. Unfortunately Oilfields, Kubra Dam and Dragon valley are only fun on the 16 player versions. Kubra 16 is one of the best maps in the game.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

I think all the maps have something to offer. Haven't found one yet that I simply just don't like. Each of them can become slaughter houses in the right conditions, some more then others on average. Big deal, so you take a beating now and then.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

Stalemate is an awesome map. Play it on TG and it is great. FuShe is awesome as well.

Re: Lack of rotation variety

all chinese maps are less popular than mec maps, because they ALL relly heavily on using an armour and require a lot of situational awarenes.
most people stop their armour training at lesson one - how to spawn camp on karkand/mashtur/sharqi

thats why they avoid shongua or zetar, where actualy fighting armour battles is a common. and they dont feel like dying time after time sitting in a powerfull armor. dragon, daquing? best vechicle, or inf-vs-vechicle maps in the whole game. dragon is a test for all AAist out there. if you are good, most usmc pilots wont score even 40% of your points. because they also never got past lesson nr one - how to bomb the bright green box [and miss]

there are many servers that host only one map - get a full list, and youll find one for zetar even. maybe not each day, but ive never had any problems loading a map i had a mood for. only exceptions are SF maps.. i miss SF..
