Wake Island

Re: Wake Island

rofl, solo piloting owns on Wake.

Oh yeah it works both ways, J10 rapes carrier. F35 rapes Airfield. Funny how you can fly over and bomb the airstrip where half of the PLA team are waiting for the J10, theres 10-15 kills right away, fly round MG the strip again, another 10 kills rofl.

I admit though, everytime I have played on TV2 Wake 24/7. The same 3 people always switch to PLA and TK for the J10 and rape the carrier to the very extreme:

MJXSTR3M
Norslayer
-=PLA=-|4CE-COMB4T3r

All they do is sit at the J10 spawn and wait for the J10 to spawn if they don't get it they will tk for the J-10, if they don't tk then they will just wait. So play there and bomb and your almost guarenteed to bag one of them.

Re: Wake Island

It's like every other map - the best teamplay wins (J10 or not).

Three good PLA squads can hold the map very easily, while good squad work on behalf of the USMC can overwhelm PLA defenses fairly quickly. Some of the best matches I've played have been when both the PLA and the USMC have had strong squads.

Re: Wake Island

I used to love this map until people started constantly raping and whoring and I just would die over and over again. Mainly because when I enter a server generally the chinese have more people so I get put on the USMC.

Re: Wake Island

I really like playing on wake, the only huge mistake is the enormous imbalance between the F35B and the J-10

Re: Wake Island

This map is one of the best mas out there, there is a lot of action I have played every side on this map and both teams can easily win if they have tactics I personally like the USMC side because is more challenging, and if you keep getting baseraped on the carrier get the HECK OUT OF THERE IN A HURRY!

Re: Wake Island

This is by far the best map IMO. I have logged the most hours on Wake.

if your not an aviator you're worthless, china wins 99% of the time, all usmc ever does is camp carrier, j10s rape constantly, the cobra is useless because of vehicles camping all over the island, and loads of IGLAs which can cover huge proportions of the map, infantry seem useless because of huge distances needed to travel, and most vehicles get easily raped, as the island is extremely narrow, 1 tank can cover an entire side of the island.

Sounds like you played the map once or twice, were the US and couldn't get off the carrier. Happens... But i've won plenty of battles with USMC with the right strategy. One Flag with a team who knows whats going on is all it takes. Decent pilots help too. People who hang out on the carrier deck will kill any chances of winning.

Here's how to eliminate the J-10 threat:


Take over the airfield!


DUH!

Re: Wake Island

The map was infinite fun in BF1942, but much faster planes, and wierd functionality of static Anti-Air, an Imobile carrier with no frigate support make the map a joke.

Three simple changes would help this map.

1. Add a frigate/light battleship that is mobile and has 2 AA guns along with some big cannon for bombardment and carrier support for the US.

2. Make the carrier mobile and give it a 2nd AA station.

3. Give the carrier 2 aircraft spawns to start. an F-18 on the runway and a F35B in its present location.

I'd be interested in your defition of "simple".

Re: Wake Island

I played Wake a lot back in the Desert Combat days and I still like it in BF2. The potential for infantry action is amazing and the chance for stealthy nija tactics is greater on Wake than 90% of the other maps. With a mostly full server, I hardly ever notice the war in the air.

well, when you consider that 2/3 of my suggestions were present in the BF1942 version of the map, I would think it would be relativly simple.

But yeah, they are "big" changes except for the F-18 spawning on the deck of the carrier.

Re: Wake Island

Wake is good with squads. Find people who use VOIP and it's so much easier.

Re: Wake Island

Could someone explain what appeals to people about Wake Island? I detest the map, it is horribly imbalanced, there is very little action, you have to travel for ages to actually reach the island, if your not an aviator you're worthless, china wins 99% of the time, all usmc ever does is camp carrier, j10s rape constantly, the cobra is useless because of vehicles camping all over the island, and loads of IGLAs which can cover huge proportions of the map, infantry seem useless because of huge distances needed to travel, and most vehicles get easily raped, as the island is extremely narrow, 1 tank can cover an entire side of the island.
Explain please?

I agree with you kidda but im an allright aviator so that helps :)

Re: Wake Island

Pretty much the same as most posts in this thread, I really enjoy this map (I might be flying or ground pounding) however if the USMC are a complete bunch of numbni it can be a nightmare as everyone waits on the carrier looking pretty. It's also important that you've some good admins when playing as I'm fond of the rule 'No attacked uncap spaawn'. At least in this way you've some time to get off the carrier. No action? Hmm maybe you should stop camping. The distance between flags is certainly no where near as bad as say Zeter Wetlands.

Viva Wake :)

Re: Wake Island

i really dont agree with any of that. i am a ground pounder atm and dont have many issues with the J-10. the way i see it if u dont fly against the J-10 u typiaclly dont have anything against wake. it is only unbalanced if the teams are stacked on either side.

as for the action i dont have trouble finding any on a somewhat full server. if u want nonstop chaotic action go to karkand.

Re: Wake Island

i play the map because i like the challege, especially as USMC, anyways i have now figured out a way for USMC to win.

Spawn at arty island at the games begging and rush north. then blietzkreg the other bases.
