[jakswan]

I know this sounds stupid but I've got fed up of my entire team trying to take the Construction Site. So I did a guide, direct link:-

Nice quide. There is usually one important flag on a map. Like in Wake Island 2007, it is the airfield. I seen the USMC have all four flags and not the airfield and still lose the battle.

I have a guide for Gulf of Oman too.

It's called "Disconnect and find a server running a good map".

Re: Map Guide: Gulf of Oman

You mean the 64 player variant of the map?

In regards to the guide-

Interesting that you diss the construction yard. It's one of my favourite points since it's the most aircraft and armor proof one. Can be held with incredibly ease by a small amount of infantry. Not much of a jump point to other flags tho so I see what you mean...

The hotel is quite defendable as well with the armor spawns and AA, but I find that holding it tends to build a lot of casualties since there isn't much infantry cover. Glad you suggest mines however. I've used them to great effect at the hotel many times.

The guide could do with a lot more detail in my opinion. Some of the points spawn different hardware depending on team, like the River fort which spawns a tank as USA and an APC as MEC.

Some good attack paths would be nice. What's the best order to get the beach flags etc?

Then you're the most confused person in BF2.

Oman is one of the best maps in the game...

Wonder for what reasons you guys don't like it. I haven't red any one so far.

I am traveling for business over the next few days, but once I get a freer moment I'll fill this space with a proper write-up about why I dislike it.

Just as a side note, there are 4 maps that make me groan whenever they come around in the rotation:

1) Gulf of Oman
2) Kubra Dam
3) Operation Clean Sweep
4) Zatar Wetlands

(in no particular order)
