I used to just play mostly Karkand and Sharqi. Now, I've discovered the joys of Warlord. That map alone makes me not regret buying SF.

Are night maps still screwed up since patch 1.2? I really liked Devil's Perch and Nightflight, but I have a hard time finding games.

I don't know how anyone can like that Warlord map. I don't like it for some reason...don't ask why i just don't could anyone tell me why they like it because maybe itll give me a reason to like it.

devils perch is the only night map that works with the patch. there are plenty of servers that play it but its one of the least played maps cuz all the the crybabies that dont like nightvision. just get all seeing eye theres allways a couple servers playing devils perch. when the patch comes out you can play leviathan and night flight again.

oh and i love it when theres an intense fight in the palace and people are tear gassing. all the insurgents running around with thier gas masks on looks cool as shit..

Here's why I like it:

1. Although there IS armor, there are only a handful of flags that can be captured while in a vehicle. Most of those are in tight spots where maneuverability is limited. Also, there are plenty of places to hide around those flags to shoot at armor or other vehicles.

2. Because of #1, it forces players to do some "ground-pounding." Seriously... I played this thing in the APC and did alright, but only because some doofus kept blowing up the commander's toys and I got to repair them. I usually score much better by ground pounding because flags in the palace are continuously swapped. Also, there is the TV station, which I think is a pretty useless flag, but for some reason it attracts me like a light attracts moths.

3. The SAS has cool weapons.

4. Kamikaze ATVs.

5. Fighting in the Palace is fun.

6. No helos or jets.

The palace fighting is still fun, but since the 1.2 patch all you find in there are snipers laying claymores and PKM's. My friend got 60 or so claymore kills in one round!!!!!

I loved the close combat pre 1.2. The amount of knife kills (expert badge) I amassed in the palace made the game extremely fun. I still love the map, but the claymores are outta control.

Warlord is proballey my favortie map, its 100 times better than karkand. Its great for almost any kit too, theres lots of rooftops to snipe/shoot rockets from, its a great map for the support guns(especialley when the battle gos to the palace) and its a great map if u like driving tanks or apcs. Its also one of the easiest maps to get badges on, i got expert SOps, armor badge for sf, ground defense badge/ribbon, veteran knife(would have gotten expert on it too but i just happen to get it on karkand),vet pistol, Explosive badge and vet support combat and supply

warlord is my 'most played map', and where i got my best score. one of the best things about it is the palace, when flags are divided between armies. if both sides are competent then this results in one of the best firefights one can have in this game especially since they made it harder to t00b.

it is also sniper heaven, what with ziplines and co-operative assault (i.e. grappling) team-mates.

it.is.awesome.

Definately the palace fighting is the best part of it, probably the best thing in BF2 . The Insurgent Hideout and Palace Security Post are good too . Its just a brilliantly designed map in my opinion as someone else mentioned its not easy to be overwhelmed by armour like on a lot of other maps and theres constant action.

Wow... THe palace is a true CQC! I always hope that someone caps one flag at the palace, I don't care about anyother besides the TV Station also, the battles are intense. It's better than Karkand, less road travelled. The Classes are used to the fullest. Right now the only bad thing until they fix the sniper is that people are now using the clays to put around the cappables, but a hefty engineer will take care of those, only if you get behind them I found out. IF you've never played Warlord or don't like it, then you haven't given it a chance. IF you point people like Armor OR Jets/helos, then this map isn't for you because infantry is #1, So if you have to hide behind airpower -stay on Wake or Oman. Armor will only get you so far on this map.

Warlord is the Karkand of SF but with grappling hooks.By far the best Sf map.

I think it is convex side towards enemy. Therefore, avoid that part.

Karkand is Urban Assault, while Warlord combines Urban Assault with MOUT, it's certainly a bit more Tactical.
I like it bcoz of that, but I've played it for about 3 hs only. There are certain Blackhawk Down elements that I like too.

Semper Fi!

Night maps rock. Want your knife badge? Play Devil's Perch. I think Leviathan can degrade into armor whoring, but both Night Flight and Perch are great maps for getting non-armor based badges (explosives, pistol, etc)

Warlord is my top map because of all the possibilites. Sure, right now claymore CQB in the palace is a top point getter but this map has alot to offer all around. There are plenty of vehicles and armor, multiple transit routes as well as being able to traverse the map from SAS to Palace via zip line. Way Fun!

I want to start playing more SF. I found one server that usually plays Warlord and sometimes Ghost Town.

Anyone know of any servers that have a good rotation going?

i love warlord and ghost town... you want to talk about some killer close quarters battle... those are the best places for it..

both maps are CQB awsome and a haven for snipers.... so everyone start looking at those rooftops.i was in the tv station and across the street i saw not one, not two but 3 snipers. to my right another building has 2 snipers. pulled out my g36k...3 rd burst... there were all dead.

the palace.... there are threee things that kill you quick there more than anything else.
they are the following
1) grenades,
2)claymores
3) c4
4) some moron's pkm.

the key tricks to taking the palace:
1) take the third floor at all cost... gives you the height advantage.. then get that mounted machinegun that is in the balcony.. i got 5-10 kils there with that machine gun...Hell yeah...its soo funny to see people run like something bit them in the ass.

2) cover the stairwell with claymores and c4.

3) only grenade the hallways if and only if there are no friendlies there.... i know for a fact that people there lob grenades like there is no tomorrow... that is a perfect recipe for tk's.

4) do not for the love of god run all over the place like a chicken with their head cut off.. i was in a hallway .. took down 3 people.. then some noob runs in front of my field of fire.. he ends up dead and punishes me...
i went from a gold star to a bronze.. to all you noobs there ( STOP PLAYING THIS FREAKIN GAME LIKE IT IS QUAKE ARENA). CQB is not meant for a run and gun situation.. everything has to be taken by pieces.. hallway by hallway... take this advice from a master like me..
