Re: Feedback new map

I like it, although I'm bonafide air-whore, the lack of a large aerial presence is a nice change.

I also like the large amount of armor; it reminds me of PR. In fact, the whole map reminds me of PR. :)

Re: Feedback new map

That map needs attack helos. Even though EA's probably going to throw that out the way it is now (crappy); it'd be great if there were attack helos.

The best would be just replace those jets with attack helicopters.

Re: Feedback new map

no its fine like this
man to man tank battles without
to many planes or chopper whores out there to spoil a good game
Its to simple to take out 1 tank with the chopper

Re: Feedback new map

Ah ****, I feel like we'll be seeing gunship helicopters in this map soon...

Bye bye organized tank warfare as it is.

Re: Feedback new map

Needs 2 attack helis per team :p

Great map, for the 5 minutes I've played it.

Re: Feedback new map

It's Zatar Wetlands in the desert. If you don't have a vehicle, you're walking forever between flags. It would be a great map for massive tank battles, but there aren't ennough of those and the jet jockeys are going to rule the map. It's deja vu all over again, I'm afraid.

My idea for a great map would be similiar to this, with loads of tanks and APC's, AND NO AIRPOWER. Of course, that will never happen, but it can't hurt to dream.

Re: Feedback new map

^^^^^That happened to me
i had to walk for ages, cause its such a big map. i then got killed as i reached my chosen destination!
im unsure about it really. it never seems to be balanced, always one sided. every round i played ended in a convoy of 10 armoured vehicles raining down on the last flag, as for the jets, didnt cause me 1 problem. i think as its such an open map, they tend to go for the clusters of people rather than a lone person.
probably could do with attack choppers, maybe just 1 per side, although it gives it a different feel to the other maps by leaving them out.
and blackhawks, i think theres only 1 each, could do with at least 2 on each side.
i doubt ill be playing it very often at the moment though, i think ill wait for the full version. its the most unstable thing ive ever seen. when on foot, if anyone comes within 20 metres of me it seems to stop, like it cant cope so it misses out 5-10 seconds of what should be seen, by which time i was normally dead. at one point it did it for so long i had been killed and respawned before it settled.
woah, didnt realize post was so long, soz guys

Edit:Oh soz bout this guys, im guessing youve seen the thread back from 2005, about EA testing this map? my guess is that they didnt add it then because it was too similar to zatar, and the only reason they've released it now is well, to stop the moaning for 5 minutes

If I know EA well enough, they'll ignore the feedback and release this crappy thing as it is now.

Re: Feedback new map

lol, but its more likely to be in a better state than it is now. as its only a BETA i accept that there could be problems with it, but they wouldn't just leave it like that for final release. all other maps are fine so they can make that one fine too

Re: Feedback new map

You guys realize that you'll more likely be in those tanks than in the attack chopper? Dream yourself of flying the chopper and killing tanks as you wish, but in reality, you will be in those tanks most of the time.

I really don't see any reason why there should be any aircrafts and helicopters (except for transport) in the first place. It's one of those few maps that forces players to team up into groups to take win the game. Not to mention potentially huge engagements when these two opposing armor column meet. I have not seen such forced teamwork since Point of Existence's Frontline gameplay mode.

Once attack helicopters are added into this map, I doubt we'll see anymore of these. Adding in more AA systems won't solve it either as we all know from experience great helicopter pilots along with a great gunner can take out AA systems easily and gobble up several tanks.
