So it's been a few weeks. What do you all think of the new map? does anyone else feel like the map is backwards?

ooo and im sorry if this has been talked about already im new!

nahhh....this really hasn't been discussed. It is about time the PLA had a city map. You can get ridiculous points as medic on that map, which is good because getting that 100+ points for PLA is crazy hard if you dont fly. From the one time I played it, I really liked it. It requires a ton of tactical versatility. It can turn into a knock out drawn out fight like on the train wreck/gatehouse bridge in Karkand or it could be a quick victory for the US if they capture the back flag(s) like in the east island of Karkand

You're telling me... It's ridiculous how easy you can rack up points as a medic on that map.

This is also a great map to command. If your looking for a 100plus point game as a commander this is as good a map as any......but you guys dont feel backwards?

Hacker.

Not at all. What makes this map backwards to you? The US is attacking and try to flank around. Sounds like a normal map to me

well with 10 guys per side, it's easy to rack up points in any small map.....

If the US doesn't get Temple fast enough, they're royally screwed too. 2 Squads defending Fish Market and Temple with AT and ammo is all you need, and then it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Flanking APCs is the only hope for the US but if PLA can maintain that defence, US is SOL.

If the US caps Temple, then it's a wicked chess game.

What does backwards mean exactly?

**Kelderos** · 10-06-09, 07:39 PM

I hate the US start, you have 0 flexibility. You either take temple/market or you lose. There is no secret paths, harbor is suicide and takes a year and a half to get to at the beginning, Fish docks is suicide, and going out of bounds is never a good idea (South of Market). Worst of all is if the majority of your team thinks they can do anything I just mentioned you get overran at those 2 flags you have to have to stand a chance and lose anyways.

What the hell is EA's fetish for putting the US in areas surrounded by water?

Ah, there's nothing more fun than sneaking onto the American base with a stolen boat, blowing everything up, then stealing their APC's and T-bagging anyone who's dumb enough to spawn there

**maximusboomus** · 10-08-09, 03:02 PM

It's a fun map regardless now I know the layout... The US start is tough but you get to shoot the boats in the next round. It's not impossible too, I always feel like I'm in a WWII movie when attacking the temple from the water! and it's an amazing map for a medic (as QL proved) though I think that round 170 of those points were reviving me :P
