fallen is a good map when you work as a team

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

Fallen isnt "Flat" at all, there are areas where you must fight up-hill to the chopper crash. Setting up a defensive perimeter at the crash site with a squad of 6 and holding off the other team rushing from 3 sides is insane.

I agree that it can get relatively repetative but its also unique. Fighting in the forest and using bomb craters and trees as cover is intense. Equally intense as some of the spamalicious fights at the Karkand hotel.

The map is wide open enough so that flanking runs are possible and not predictable...

Its a simple map that is well designed and has offered some of the most back-and-forth fighting in BF2 I've seen yet.

I like it.

A 24/7 Fallen server would suck.

It's a great map to throw into the mix of all of the other maps.

Personally? I think it's not a stellar map, but the ATMOSPHERE is what I LOVE!

I love Songhua for the same reason...but I haven't found a server that plays Songhua in AGES!

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

What tactics? There is no tactics, because no one knows how to play the damn map!

If there's something to know there must be tactics...

A 24/7 Fallen server would suck.

I've just being playing on one. Brilliant fun.

Fallen 24/7 would give me a headache....and I agree its a nice change up in the middle of the map rotation.

Agreed. It's fun for most of the round but by the end I find myself just wanting it to be over. I always end up missing some type of vehicle play.

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

Fallen is the best map put out for BF2 IMHO. No armour whores,nor air vehicles, just ground pounding. And yes, this map forces you to play as a team. If you are the lone wolf type, then i would see you hatin' this map.

It is a breathe of fresh air to have this map. Most folks have been screaming for a IO map, and here it is. The vegatation is great, lots of cover. I have seen many a squad use the cover like you would in real life. Reminds me of BFV.

One cool thing would to add a couple of Quads!

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

Fallen is my favorite PoE2 map and I don't smoke anything.

I like it because it's strictly infantry and the battles are intense. Flat? Not at all. There is plenty of cover via the tall grass, trees, bolders, bomb craters. It isn't a sniper's paradise. Teamwork? I saw a good bit on the Rubberducky server last night. Some really good back and forth intense action, close rounds, great stuff.

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

I like fallen, for a few minutes. It gets old IMO, and a 24\7 fallen server would be a red flag for me to not join. Same with Rivne map, its hard to see, and it just gets old.

I would like a flare launcher, for the night maps. They are very hard to see at all, which I guess is realistic, but annoying. Launching flares up into the sky would be really cool, but the light around the trees would probably cause a lot of lag.

Just make the Maps that have night themes easier to see. The DC maps had night battles, but I could see very well.

Due to the higher accuracy of the rifles in POE, the moment you see someone through the mist on Fallen you can engage him with a regular rifle. Going sniper won't give any benefit and the few times I've played the map most people seemed to use other kits.

Ummm, theres snipers everywhere on that map.

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

We use some stand alone TS Servers, I will send a PM when I get a chance, at work now....

Thanks
wouldn't mind working with a good squad of player who know what they are doing

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

What server are you playing on? no one moves in a Triangular Paterns and there is no team work at all

Try the TacticalGamer.com POE server. I doubt you'll find another POE server with a larger quantity of teamwork.(especially during US prime time which is when the majority of the community is on) Some of the main server rules posting in the loading screen should clue you in right away that the server will have some nice teamwork.

Fallen in particular is pretty fun because the squads will usually spread out to try capture bleed and they are all 6 man squads with all players in that squad working together.

Sure if you like rugby with guns. Which means running in a large circle, and plenty of friendly fire, this is the map for you. Its personal chioce, if you dig it, then it doesnt matter what other people think. You cant argue with opinions.

I want real Infantry maps, DC style. Urban Seige, Basrah (day and Night versions), and of course, Lost Village. Why were old maps perfect, and new teams cant sem to learn from them?

Re: So you guys like Fallen? Wow. What are you smoking?

It's a big flat space with lots of underbrush and some trees. I consider it the weakest, most single dimensional map in the mod and I'm completely confused about why so many people love it.

My only theory is that it combines the simplicity of Counter-Strike with the linear nature of Quake deathmatch, and thusly, appeals to the mouth-breathing masses.

It's an infanrty map. If you enjoy vehicles more then obviously it is not the best map to play. It's not really one dimensional as you put it. The thing about that map is that you never really know where you are going to get shot from so you have to pay attention.
I don't see why such a simple concept would create so much confusion for you. It's hard for beginners to get to an aircraft or armor in the 1st place. They always end up getting teamkilled for a jet or chopper so they end up ground pounding. In TWL matches for the mnost part your ground skills can make the difference in whether you win or lose a match. There is nothing weak about it, it's just not for you.
