With Wake Island coming in the new patch, i got thinking, what other maps would be good to re-create?
Personally I would like to see Invasion of the Philippines.
I played Philippines so much back in BF1942 and loved every aspect of it. It's just one of those maps which you can't whore a vechile easily and you can't get from one side of the map to the other to save a flag being captured because you have to change your methods of transport so often.
I love the fact that if you had a tank, you could only get to 2 or 3 flags on the map, you could only protect them and usually had to wait for people to come to you. On Karkand for example, you can get to any flag in some form or another. You can't on Philippines.
If you have a plane, you can take of the small and open island and have loads of fun, but if you want to try the main island, it's tall, large and full of trees. I've never died from a plane on the main island, just the smaller, open ones.
I also love the fact you use boats as your main transport. Unless you swim and take a few minutes doing so, you need a boat to travel around to most of the flags. Currently we just use the boats to get from the USMC Carrier to the main island, unless some MEC player wants to use one to board the USMC carrier. I also loved have battles with another boat on the Philippines, watching their boat slowly sink, then slowly hitting them with my boat. Fantastic.
To me, it's the ideal map because no one can whore vechiles easily, there's some way restricting each one, whether it's land, sea or air. It's a map which requires several skills, all being used at some point or another, you need skill to run and fight as infantry, sail a boat, drive tanks or jeeps and possibly fly a plane now and then.
The only thing that would take all this away is attack helicopters, they could take out anything, anywhere.
What does everyone else think though? What maps would you like to see in this modern era that is Battlefield 2?
