Ah, so it will only be Infantry-only in the new gaming-mode, Conquest seems to have tanks.
I have to agree with those who think it looks custom, but that may be because the screenshots we've seen so far seem to be made on low graphics. The map itself seems cool, looks like smaller, clear version of Karkand. They also added a sidepath for the US which is more visible for n00bs, so they don't rush into the front-side.
On a side note: Who else thinks that the plane that got stuck in the building will be removed?

I just hope it has capturable flags inside buildings. Doesn't look like there are any buildings you can go into. Like Night Flight and Warlord. Should have made the 16 map into a 64 map and made a building war Seems like the USMC uncap is 132 miles away, alot of traveling and time for the snipers to set up camp for the MEC as they wait 53hrs until the USMC arrives. Thats one of the reasons people like Karkand -- Firefight from the start! I think a mix of GHost town and Mashtuur as someone else has said. I would like to see instead of a Mosque a Palace or a TV Station. 

Side Note: I agree that will raise controversy with the aircraft in the building, it will be removed or you'll hear from the Law.

Also that Island in the middle is my sniping spot, Im the first to claim it. Not for sale

Maybe they tryed making it like karkand, in many ways, but TRYED to make it different such as making the front flags a little further away because alot of the community was complaining about being naded over and over again from the usmc hill spawn points.

Sooo, i think they have done a good job to deliver the goods to the majority of the community.

Actually second, FYI.  Wake was not an orginal map but was added in 1.03 I think.

To all the saying this is a Kirkland/Ghost/Sharqi/Warlord rip off.  EA/DICE are looking at our stats (not only to wipe them) and relizing that people are playing on those maps a lot.  So to give back to a majority of the people they give us this one for free.  Also, it maybe to make up for all of the vehicle heavy expansions that they made.  Some ground pounders, like myself, either feel that they were screwed or will not purchuse the expansions because of they are vehicle heavy. (Preparing for the flood of -1s)

Also, most games cut down on the price by reusing graphics.  This is used on all kinds of games.  For example, Kingdom Hearts 2 has some of the same animation (just tweaked a little) on each board, sports games use the same images over and over again, just look at the crowds. 

The thing that I do not like is that each time EA refers to the new map it (at least on their site) it says it is sponsed by Comcast.  I would like to know if that is the only way we are going to get free maps from now, when some company sponsers the map.  If so, how many free maps are we going to get?

I'm really not too picky about the quality of the map.

I'm just glad they decided to release it FREE with a patch

None. In las interview DICE mentioned that they will put more effort into BF2142, but still keep a close eye on BF2. I just wish some of the custom maps where allowed to be played on rank servers.

Some one mentioned that EA didn't argue when custom maps where plaid on BF1942 and BF:Vietnam. Of course they would not, servers weren't ranked so they didn't care. They should picked some of the custom maps that where made and holded a contest of them. Winer gets to be played on ranked servers. I mean there was a Wake Island custom map before 1.03 patch, and guess what EA made one of their own, and we been playing it ever since.

That is true. Since its too much to ask for EA to NOT make cheap ripoffs, we should at least be happy they choose to do the popular maps. I'm very thankful this isn't a Zatar/Songhua/FuShe/Clean Sweep map :p

you guys nag on ea to much road to jalalabad looks fine even with all the tanks.  there are so many buildings to hide around if you get in a 64 player sever your tank will get demolished very quickly i gurantee it.  This map looks great.  you guys always find every little thing to b**** about why cant you just play the game and understand how much ea tries to fix stuff and how good this map could be and will be.

With dedicated Anti-Tank players on the hotel roof, you won't come far on this map. And there are so many spots to hide for Anti-Tanks, it's pretty easy to neutralize tanks. MEC are really favoured on this map, never witnessed a round where USMC did take the win.

I think there are some players who associate it with 9/11. I think they should keep it like it is.

God, can't EA folks design new stuff.... same copy/paste Mashtuur's mosque, same burning truck, same watchtowers, same wood boxes everywhere, same palm trees, same walls, same roofs... WTF!

It's great EA makes new maps, and free... but can't they do something really new and not a mix of all the map we already have??


Thanks anyway EA!

Ah, right, sorry, I was so excited because of the pics that I didn't read properly
Well, in comparison with the higher settings, I DO see a difference. It looks good, but has a little custom-looking touch. I guess it's because of the light because such a dusty but still bright setting for a map with such a terrain hasn't been there before and I only know these looks from custom ones...Looks pretty, though...Since it's part of the beta-patch, this seems to be a beta of the map aswell. I'm sure they'll do something to light...
