Re: Wake Island

So many people say that Wake is biased towards the Chinese LOL. When I was playing last night with my team as US we never lost. We thought it was biased towards the US so we switched to the Chinese side. We played another 5 games on that side without loosing. I think its about allocating resources and knowing what bases are important and what bases you can let them take.

Totaly agree

Re: Wake Island

Im sure this has been said before, but I believe this map is very even as far as power between the two sides.

Re: Wake Island

I Realy do like this map alot but im sure theres a bug but it could be intentional. If you go sf on the us side wait untill the us takes the airfeild then try blowing up the artillary thats on the beach next to that flag. It comes up teamdamge in the top left corner and you lose points. Now is it that the artillary belongs to the chinese commander or to that actual flag ??? .

Re: Wake Island

I'm not sure what server you guys played, but the heli's are completely disadvantaged because there's no where to hide (i.e. canyons, hills) and there are numerous anti-aa positions all over the island.

Re: Wake Island

I played it last night for the first time. It was a nice reminder from the old days of BF1942. Lucky for me I had a good squad. We took the BH from the carrier and we went to cap a flag. Once there we HAD to land to cap the flag, that way we cap it faster. Overall the map looks really nice, it's one of my new favorite maps. Now...how about El Alamein?

Re: Wake Island

If USMC gets a flag its over for the PLA

Re: Wake Island

I would have rather seen Gazala, Alamein or BattleAxe get ported over.

Re: Wake Island

I love it, when you get a full server every works as a team since it's so CQC style

Re: Wake Island

I think its cool that they took the bunkers straight from BF1942...brings back memories..but then I get mad cause snipers, helo's, and a fair amount of armor screws the map up imho.

Overall I love the map though...very similar to the BF1942 version when it comes to building locations, hills, etc.

If USMC gets a flag its over for the PLA

From my expirience that a pretty inaccurate statement.

Re: Wake Island

Really, would you believe that those maps would have been good for the modern age of BF? This isn't in Europe or Africa, and they have to make it match the setting of teh game. Wake is in the pacific, and it doesn't really belong to anyone is what I hear, so it does better as a remake then Omaha which is in France and would the MEC or Chinese be in France?(I know someone is going to come up with a French joke, but take this seriously) The focus of BF2 is on teh MEC and China warring with the U.S. and they have statigic locations over there which they are fighting for and not in Europe.

Re: Wake Island

Sometimes, it isn't about being authentic to the game, sometimes it is about gameplay, and that is where Gazala was dah ****.

Re: Wake Island

I'm not impressed at all with Wake. It's a long range map in a game with very few long range weapons so it lends itself to being a sniper/vehicle fest. I don't think that it works all that well within the dynamics of BF2 combat. But hey, the great thing is that if you don't like a map, you don't have to play it....
