Wake Island

Re: Wake Island

The map can be real fun whenever the USMC gets at least 2 flags on the island, you can rack up some serious points as a gound punder if this happens, because everyone and everything is all channeld into this one area.

Re: Wake Island

I used to think that the mapped sucked when i first started to play. But as time when on and i've played more, But once i learned the stratgy for the map. I was always looking foward to playing it. I usaully play 64 player maps and i've played before when the teams were so off balance that nobody could get off the carrier, because of inexperienced pilots, nobody's really working together and bad commanding. I have also been on the Chinese side were the USMC totally took the map in less then two minutes, because nobody was working together, It seemed that everyone was waiting for J-10 and chopper and everybody was forming a circle-jerk.... I'm not saying that i'm the best chopper pilot, But if i'm flying the cobra, i'm praying my gunner is looking at the AA nest's as we fly over , Cause that's what they should be doing. If your gunners not doing that stop flying grab the noob tube or some AT mines and take out the tank holding the off the one side of the island... I think wake's a fun map, I've had some of my best battles on wake and enjoy playing.. Just to note, I'm usually on the ground most of the time on wake. I just started to fly a month ago, so i'm still getting it down.

Keep trying it, Eventully you will get a decent balance in the teams and have a great battle.

Re: Wake Island

man..if you need points, USMC Medic, squad up and you can get some serious points reviving and healing people while defending/capping flags. I think I've played an entire round there with only killing 2 or 3 people, but got 45 revives.

Re: Wake Island

If USMC doesn't land on Wake, it's the most boring map in the game.

Re: Wake Island

True but it's a much bigger map so those of us that like to stretch our legs spend longer still peggin' it from flag to flag. Having said that, I like Songhua too although not many do? I like to play Engineer on this map as the fog allows for quite a few death by mines. I think someone commented on the map being unbalanced? Tbh, that's something I really enjoy about BF2 after playing Source so much. Any team can win just comes down to which works best as a team. My fave kits on Wake atm are Medic (because it always rocks), and Sniper (because you can rack up quite a few kills once you've taken South Base and they've got the Beach).

wouldnt that map be better if it had different kind of lighting and no fog

Re: Wake Island

The best wake fighting was from the BFV (ea)WW2 mod. US had a carrier and a destroyer that could be driven around so that you could hide the carrier from the enemy. they also had big guns to take out enemys and bases. likewise the island had huge defense cannons to take down the ships. planes were prop and could definately own but air battles were balanced. infantry battles were intense, especially if the US got the beach spawn.

had my best round on wake as a sniper. 4 flag defends, 31 kills (36 with the clays) and 1 death.

Havoc.uk

the cobra is useless because of vehicles camping all over the island

WHen I fly in the cobra we make those disappear.

Re: Wake Island

It's an awesome sniper map, very narrow so it seems like one big choke point. I love all the sunny maps too for some reason, dont know why maybe because sun in Ireland is such a rare sight :)

Re: Wake Island

WAKE- Would be one of the better maps in IO mode or Light mode with jeeps and hummers..

Re: Wake Island

You've obviously never played with MetallicaGuitarist, SHFT Nismo, Chodda, and I. We always seem to win on US on wake.
