Wake Island 2007

Re: Wake Island 2007

Oh man, the wrecked plane looks awesome. Wake was certainly a very fun map in BF42, but I'm wondering if it will retain the same chokepoints...the beaches were certainly fun to guard, like many mini-size Omaha Beaches.

Re: Wake Island 2007

I read its supposed to be released with the patch and be a new ranked map.

Should be fun. Looking forward to it!

Re: Wake Island 2007

Hehe that wrecked Zero looks great. I really miss the good old airplanes. Ground strafing was fun in BF1942.

I also remember the wake island multiplayer demo from a few years ago. God I cant believe I been playing the BF series non-stop for that long. This is one of the few games series that has kept my interest over a long period of time.

I wish they made the island bigger though. All the island maps were scaled down by a HUGE degree in BF1942. Now I know that engine probably cant support a real-life size replica of places like Iwo Jima, Guadal Canal and Wake (etc), but it would be awesome if they made the maps a little bigger. If you look at a real life photo of Guadal Canal and compare how small it is in BF1942 you'll be in for a shock.

Re: Wake Island 2007

i wouldnt mind having the LCAC only if it werent drivable on land, you can just imagine people driving this big thing into the middle of spawn points or driving it around the whole map. it would look so out of place and weird.

i wish theyd make a ww2 official mod for bf2 that was playable on ranked servers.

Re: Wake Island 2007

I never played that map because I never learned how to get off the boats in BF1942.

lol....so all the times you played sea maps and you where in those little transport boat you would sit there and wait to die or something?

Re: Wake Island 2007

I'm starting to get a bad feeling about it.

Two things really,

1. The map size will have to of been increased to compensate for the faster jets, which probably means more travelling time when on foot.

2. The map is made up of 3 long stretch's, and thus will all be bombed to hell non-stop, similar to OCS.

Thats what i fear, it gets nuked constantly in vanilla as well

So it could suck alot, especially if the AA is still as crappy as it is now.

Re: Wake Island 2007

That's not the Wake Island 2007 map. That is a custom map that you'll find in TotalBF2 mappack on the site.

Honestly the map is way too small. Yeah the island was narrow, but not 3 lanes wide!!!

I know it's not 2007. But still gives ya a feel of it. The map r0x small. I'd rather play the CS map if the EA map is hugh. Forgot my hiking boots at the store.

Re: Wake Island 2007

I really hope its only two jets for each side at the most. I doubt there will be any fighter/bombers (F-15, SU-30, etc) so the bombing won't be as bad as Clean Sweep or Oman. Ideally there should be some mobile AA as well.

Problem with this map will be is.. there is no place to hide, especially those huge mobile AA things, they will stick up like a sore thumb.

Re: Wake Island 2007

I don't think the Aircraft carrier will move.
I don't believe there will be any coastal artillery batteries.
I don't believe there will be a battleship or a sub either.

I hope I'm wrong though.



If the Chinese are attacking Wake Island, what is the name of their Aircraft Carrier?

yer still apart from all that it was one great map however you played it hehehe
