Wake Island

Re: Wake Island

In old wake you could pretty much walk into every building - that is what they are talking about. They were not in great detail - just walls and doors - but good to get out of view.

BF2: SF is focused on interior and infantry fighting - less on vehicles.

Re: Wake Island

A ranked, official El Alamein would have been 100x better.

Omaha Beach would have been 10,000x better.

Re: Wake Island

I dont really think the map is biased towards any side. The chinese have better aircraft, but its a wash since it takes time taking out another good pilot anyway. Alot of the time its just cat and mouse in the air, but i try to do my bombing runs and take out the bridges every so often if im chinese. I like the map, its gorgeous to me.

Re: Wake Island

There ARE buildings you can go inside of in BF2. You are not seeing them?

Here are the ones I know of:

Guard shacks
Construction buildings
Buildings like the ones on Karkand and Mashtuur... (where you can get on the roof by going inside)
TV Station on karkand

Nothing close to the big buildings with interiors and tunnels/sewers in BFV.

Re: Wake Island

Glad to see it back. But here's my grumbles.

Really shows up the dominance of US helicopter power. Stupidly high armour and weaponry.

And why no interiors? Crazy - that's a step back in game development. Not forwards.

The heli dominance which wrecks every other game on Wake could be countered a little by adding Chinese to have boats - so they can escape to other flags.

I just left a game in total frustration because of this. The USMC had choppers and tanks and was just mowing everything down that moved. It was a lame experience.

Re: Wake Island

Re: Wake Island

I really wanted a *new* map, not one I have played for months already. Sure, the graphics look better but it's still good ole Wake with no buildings u can enter. That sucks.

For general sniping interiors suck, but countersniping from interiors has worked beautifully for me.

Re: Wake Island

I chinese have better air power, they get the J10. Those heli's got you down...well shoot it down with the J10.


No other jet compares to the J10 and if the chinese dont lose the airfield then they have it the whole time.

Re: Wake Island

Wake island isn't so bad for the PLA. The trick is to hide and spread out...

Yup, that's my gripe about the lack of interiors on Wake 2007. They were the best hiding palces on the map.

And yes, We are ONLY talking about wake interiors for those with slow minds.

The following statement is in no way a flame at you:

your team was not playing properly. The ONLY way that the USMC would have tanks is to get them from YOUR base. You have to keep the tanks occupied and guard the bases that have them. There are 3 bases with tanks, the others are just "Fillers" in my mind, if I can take them without loosing a tank or airfield base then I will. If not then forget it.

You cant complain about USMC having tanks, they were yours to loose.

Re: Wake Island

Hmmm. Go high... Hmmmm.

the ceiling is only like 50ft, there is no where to hide

Re: Wake Island

I never played BF 1942, but I really like WakeIsland 2007. Its got great Soldier vs. Soldier battles and the armor is never over powering. Its great how even though the island is thin, its seems like its easy to hide from enemies who are only 100ft away from you.

I give Wake Island 2007 a 8.9 out of 10

Re: Wake Island

Honestly the only thing I like about the map is how nice it looks.

After playing for several hours last night one thing that struck me the most is how bad the guns really are in BF2. I noticed this the most on the South Beach flag. All during my gameplay I kept getting flash backs of Bf42 and I could swear hitting infantry was eaiser in Bf42.

I guess this is because Bf2 is more Squad/CQC based... but its really noticable on larger scaled infantry maps like Wake.

Although one thing I did like was how much better the mounted 50 cal guns worked for defense. It actually felt like I could hold people back with suppression fire. (Shooting from the Airfield to the Southern Beach flag in the tower mounted 50 cals)

Then again maybe I am just crazy...
