I feel the same way.

Same here. I used to absolutely hate some of the maps but I found ways to enjoy all of them. Although I must complain about my bad luck as far as maps go, it seems I always join the server on the same 2-3 maps - it's either Dalian, Daqing or Zatar.

I dont mean to be offensive here, just want to see if anyone shares my opinion

Whenever i play on this map, it seems i do a lot of walking and a lot of getting killed by air and artillary

Indeed, I hate Kubra with a vengance. I hate it so much in fact that I was driven to say "I will apply testicle clamps to the next person to kill me with an air vehicle" over TS.

**Shafik** · 01-08-2006, 06:32 PM

Same here. I just leave when I see that map loading.

**Tempus** · 01-08-2006, 06:58 PM

Even the 32-player version?

**TychoCelchuuu** · 01-08-2006, 07:08 PM

I like it. Lots of sniping to be done if you feel like it.

That describes half of the maps (not so much the walking though). I don't suppose we'll be seeing some incarnation of the no-air mod anytime soon, will we?

**DirtyLude** · 01-08-2006, 08:12 PM

+1 for Kubra hatoraide.

**MrPaladin-TPF-** · 01-08-2006, 08:13 PM

my only upset with it is like a majority of maps it has one team with the advantage of having an UCB while the other teams main gets targeted....

soon as you lose your main you lose all your air assets and you can kiss your commander toys goodbye...

its like that for a few other maps... even when you defend your main well as soon as you lose it your gonna be hard faught to regain it

**Coridon** · 01-08-2006, 08:18 PM

I don't mind Kubra...but among the "hated" maps, I actually enjoy Songhua Stalemate the most. It's an engineers de-lite.

As long as you keep in mind that the only people moving from flag to flag on foot should be snipers, Kubra can be fun. There aren't "kill boxes" around the flags on Kubra, and there's usually a good spot away from the flag for a SL to set up and launch a prolonged infantry attack, if need be. Just make sure you turn the flag before artillery rains down...

It just takes a different approach to see the beauty in maps like Songua and Kubra...

All maps with planes are bad if you are on the opposing force of players like killrogg and santa. I think EA should step up the anti air defenses and or give the AT kit an AA weapon

You better check your mic. Sounded on my side like "I will LOAN my testicle clamps to the next person..."

I spent a lot of time on Kubra when BF2 came out, and my experience is the smaller the map version the better the play. In the 16 player where the action is mainly across the dam itself you can get into some very intense firefights. The 32 is ok, but the best action tends to get localized to the south of the dam. The 64 is ditto of the 32, so why bother.

But man that action at the airfield is intense, as anyone playing last night down that way can attest.

I also wanted to put in a good word for Clean Sweep. This map is great for mobility once you're fighting back and forth on the island, mostly because there are enough vehicles to make a whole squad instantly mobile. Yes it leads to a less-defined front line, but that's why it's so great. I can't think of another map where you can get everyone mounted up so quickly with such variety -- buggies, armor, boat and helo... and there's enough routes to go you can often get to the objective before a jet or chopper finds you. Try that in Zatar!

**Kilrogg** · 01-08-2006, 09:21 PM

Kubra, Songhua and Cleansweep should be removed.

Some people must think I don't realize how retarded airpower is when I fly but trust me I do. I simply cannot stand hardware maps without being in a chopper or a jet because if I'm on the ground it means I'm the one getting bombed. Maps like Daqing are terrible if you're on the ground, it's so big and vehicle oriented.

It's really too bad because some of the maps have amazing terrain/design for infantry fights, they're simply too big and have air. For example the south part of Dragon Valley with all the forests, it'd be awesome to fight in as infantry only with different (closer) CPs.

I can't believe someone actually resurrected this old thread....
