Re: Jabal Al-Burj

I keep hearing about these "server-killer" maps, but never see less than a full server whilst they're on.

What specifically is wrong with it? It's a hard fight for either team if they're serious about winning. The MEC have plenty of vehicles to counter the air-mobility that the US has, the map is nice and big to allow for more tactical potential, and the only thing it really lacks is a CO, which is pretty much the case on every map.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

Yeah seriously, what's wrong with the map? Don't just say take it out of the rotation. If you're going to at least say that, please make an argument for your case. Why is it a server killer? Like Root said, I've never seen the population decline significantly when Jabal comes up.

same, i rather enjoy Jabal. running or being a part of the Airforce and flying men to the battle is enjoyable. you just have to know where to land.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

We have the capabilities to make some tweaks and modifications to the maps, but we need constructive feedback on what the problems are with them.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

I think its an alright map and should be left in, but my advice for the devs is to add cover near the bridge. Aside from silhouetting yourself against the sky, there is no cover anywhere near that CP. This is probably the most contested flag, so giving it some cover will add a lot to the map.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

This map would be better if Bridge and Dam were on the same AAS level.

Why? If you can justify it, Asch will no doubt take a look at it. Just expressing an opinion as to what the grouping would be, but not backing it up with reason, doesn't really get anywhere.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

My opinion is usually irrelevant, but since you asked for it:

It doesn't make any sense to take East Beach and then have to skip Bridge for Dam. If you have a ground vehicle, you'd have to pass through enemy territory to get to your objective. Now, I understand that the MEC needs to take Bridge before Dam, because it's very inconvenient to get to Dam on the ground without passing Bridge. I think it's worth it, though, until selective AAS is implemented.

I'm not sure what "selective" AAS is. I suppose it could be argued that if the US takes west beach as well as east, they can then move in to dam and bridge simultaneously.

Re: Jabal Al-Burj

Personally this is my favourite map. It has all vehicles I like (can't fly jets) and huge distances to cover with those vehicles.

AASV2 also works very well in this map, offering varied and tactically interesting fights imo. The joy of getting a foothold in that city as us, or reaching the beach as mec!

I agree that bridge could use a little more cover. I like the dam flag, because you have so many attack routes. I couldn't say that this map really needs changes.

I was in a hurry to leave my computer so I didn't bother to explain. By "Selective AAS", I refer to the idea of one team being able to capture flags in a slightly different order than the other; i.e., USMC may capture both Bridge and Dam simultaneously, but the MEC must capture Bridge and then Dam. This is an entirely ignorant opinion based on the physical layout of the map and the restrictions of the terrain; it's something I'd like to try for two rounds, just to try it out.
