Wake Island 2007 thoughts?

[Firefoxa]

I would like ppl's opinions about how the Wake Island 2007 map has been set up. I only played it 2-3 times yesterday, but my first thoughts is that it seems a bit in Chinas favour the way the spawn points in the begining are set up. Could be that I played the map with a poor team, but there seemed difficult to get the Chineese bases and hold them.

As I said it could be a poor team, but at least it doesent seem to be very difficult for the Chineese tho controll this map. Don't missunderstand me I like a challenge :), but would like to get your opinions.

Thx,

From my experience the initial assault on the Island seems to stall too easily. Once your on the island though, it turns into a pretty entertaining game of musical bases.

It does highlight the need for aircraft to be a little less resiliant to vehicle mounted MG's though.

Have played the map a little. It does seem a little in favour of the Chinese side I would say. Oh yea, you still cant shoot down anything with the crap stingers.

Re: Wake Island 2007 thoughts?

played the map alot yesterday, and well the chinese have better planes (J-10) thus the USMC gets an extra F-18 if they capture the airfield. but once they do its hard getting it back for the PLA, the infantry battles rock thats for sure. lots of bushes trees and rocks to cover behind, and if the USMC has a good team the BH's are priceles. So the begin is in PLA's favour but if the USMC get capture 2 point, the PLA will have a hard time getting it back

Re: Wake Island 2007 thoughts?

Average to be honest.

USMC there is a way to get a decent foothold before the jets can even get in the air usually (therfore not spotting and obliterating you) which is usefull for a full squad.

Chinese if they don't react quick enough or leave defenders at the bottom right base are as good as defeated.

There is allot less tatical value to this map than 90% of the others imo.

Should have held a map competition, i've played far better custom maps than this.

This map Rules If you get a full server Every1 works as a team. The first assualt is pretty easy for the USA. In the begging most attack the first left and right bases while some of the PLA are in the back getting choppers and jets. Once USMC has one flag the rest of he game is a blast. All of the men Marching and fighting together just to take the airfield, hiding behind the Downed Zero , bushes, rocks.

For me this is the best map on the game.

Played this a few times, and when people aren't using jets & choppers it's excellent, but when they are it's the usual average map.

Yes indeedy, great map that makes for real fun. The initial assault against a heavily defended island is a blast, and once they manage to drop some troops behind the lines with the Blackhawk it turns into a real vicious infantry battle. Because the island is so narrow it's a blast from start to finish.

I am a Plane whore and I even think that map is TOO dominated by planes. And what is up with people showing up in the IGLAs as if they are in a vehicle, major mistake since they are already underpowered.

Fun infantry battles but it can turn into a slaughter all too quickly ... which adds to the excitment a little I must say. I didn't get to play the USMC side but as a defender of the island it's quite good fun. I imagine the BH gunners have a blast though...no pun intended.

Yes, It was remade for release on BF2.

Chain really do have the upper hand on the map but they are breachable with a good team in squads.

Re: Wake Island 2007 thoughts?

I'm just happy to have a new map to play on the ranked servers. Hopefully it won't be the last.

Re: Wake Island 2007 thoughts?

I too think it's a great map, but they should have done more with it. Why they've left the buildings inaccessible is a mystery for me! I remember the BF42/DC games on this map, there was so much tension and action in the buildings! When a flag never turned, you had to start searching buildings - and I can imagine that'd be pretty cool with a well-tuned squad!

However, I love the map :)
