Iron Ridge Insurgency?

**Blakeman** · 03-05-10, 01:13 PM

I was wondering if Iron Ridge insurgency is on the list for the server? It is the only map to my knowledge that has both an AAS and an insurgent mode and I wouldn't mind trying out the Militia as insurgents.

I know I suggested this before and it was promptly smacked down because it was explained that many people put up map votes, but I'd really like to try to get this in on the Map Rotation list. Can we have some of the more obscure maps included in the rotation, like Lashkar Valley and Korrengal or some of the other ones. I have yet to play anything on TTP other than Gaza Beach, Muttrah and some Beirut. I did play Lashkar once right after v.9 came out. I still haven't played VW mode yet.

A lot of this goes back to having nights when we have only insurgency or other map modes are played. I guess it is too much trouble?

What's that? Too much trouble changing the map rotation list?

Learning not to fear insurgency mode... took me 6 months from my intro to PR...

Insurgency mode is great. It is a little hard and frustrating playing as whatever insurgent team, because you are prone to death and do not have a medic often. Even on Gaza Beach, where the Hamas have a medic, it's rarely every used by other players. I understand, but it can be fun and rewarding to blow up a Tank or APC with a mine or RPG. But usually that is rare, as it nearly takes 4 or 5 RPG's depending on if the Tank can get back to base for repairs. The Insurgents are way underpowered, but it balances out well.

Yeah, the tank needs to be taken off of Gaza. It takes 4-5 RPG shots in the treads to kill it. Not my idea of a good time.

Hamas combat engineer kit solves that. It has both tank mines and IEDs and also claymores... as well as grenades and a shotgun... perfect kit....

I think Gaza is very well balanced... I've never seen an example of one side having any specific advantage...

Obviously someone who hasn't played it with only 10 people on the server, and a tank and APC rolling around.
And no combat engineer for me. The Hamas have the awesome Enfield No.4. How can I not use it?!? Especially when the idiots keep going to the exact same spot in the exact same building trying to find me? Classic!
