Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

[imported_Zach]

Since "Highway Tampa" is a required map now (whatever that means), is it safe to assume the patch includes it, or do I still need to manually install it after I apply patch 1.41? (I'm doing a fresh install... haven't played in like two years. :laugh:)

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

Did they add the sorely needed attack helis to this map?

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

No, I dont think so. They tested them during the beta but they reverted back after the uproar it caused. So you may have to whore elsewhere (dont kill me for that plz!)

Nah, I was just looking for a reason to take BF2 out of the shelf.

Now I don't really have any.

Highway Tampa with attack choppers would fail. The whole idea is that it is an armour map, having some *** soloing a chopper constantly would ruin it. Go back to Wake :p

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

I can't actually think of anything worse than having an attack heli on that map. It would be slaughter.

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

It was slaughter in the beta, that's why they changed it back. :p

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

They just accidentally included an older version of the map for beta, but put the correct one for final patch.

There is enough fog/dust to make bombing is a nightmare in Tampa.

great thing about Tampa is its mass team vehicle cooperation, nothing like two columns of armour blowing eachother to pieces

one attack chopper and you lose an entire column in 0.1 seconds, its not fun

the planes are fine imo, at least now because AA is effective and they don't have cluster bombs; they can't utterly destroy everything in no time either

I enjoyed it a lot though, played a lot of it in a tank, then as MEC I was in a good squad, we were an anti tank squad, flag hopping in jeeps, was awesome

Re: Highway Tampa and Patch 1.50

I agree with what others have said regarding attack choppers on Highway Tampa and the beta feedback.

It simply wasn't designed to have them; flat terrain, infantry must use vehicles to get from CP to CP, no where to hide, etc. Extremely fun and unique map as-is, adding attack helos would ruin it. Plenty of other options out there for the dedicated chopper pilots.

If that's the case, you should sell it on eBay or just give it away.

This game is intended for everyone's enjoyment, not the precious few standing around waiting for helos to spawn.
