Simply, its a tropical island

You could make some shit up about food storages, or fish still living there, whatever, thus giving a reason to fight over it

That way, you have a legitmate storyline reason for Wake Island 2142

Simple

Now its your turn to argue why maps should be in here

I personally prefer the "Infamous indestructable J-10 being buried on the island and whoever can control the island and unearth it could end the wars..."
Or something to that effect. (It's in someone's sig)

Really?, I didn't see it in Vietnam. And if they really did want to include wake Island into 2142, there'd be giant buildings in place of the huts. Only thing i could add to ur idea though is a large underground storage area with a few J10's and an ascending runway that u can take off from.

It has been in BFV. Didn't you play EA's WW2 Modification? Here's the Link for the Download

lol you see old crashed J10's and 35's in the ground along with maybe a couple of skeletons trying to revive a guy or something with a sign over them labeled "Even the dead are still whoring"

Aye, seeing as 2142 seems devoid of jets of any description that makes little sense. Then again somebody who has access to the beta could prove me wrong.

But you know what? Let's see El Alamein. From another thread.

Fits with the Africa/Europe theme. Is a brilliant idea. El-Alamein was a good laugh for me in 1942 at a mates house. Always reminded me of RA and tank rushing.

a frozen wake with a frozen essex and you can use walkers and tanks and drop pods to get to the isle that would be awsome and freeze that j10 in place

wake island...for those of you who arnt up on history, was a vital logistical component for the Marine Expeditionary Force in the Pacific theatre from 1942 onwards. The story behind its involvement in BF2 makes sense but givin that modern military aircraft have much greater fuel efficiency and combat radii...i can see why the person who started this thread is frustrated. All of the maps make sense on their own...but please please please dont try and piece them together...otherwise this just becomes another crappy role playing game

except its legacy as the first map ever (I think, or was that Midway? Can't remember) and it's very fun, even you've gotta admit that.

First map ever.The BF1942 multiplayer demo was Wake Island.
And I played it every day until the full game came out.

I'd love to see Wake in BF:2142. It's one of my favorite maps for just about everything.

You can be a medic, jet, armor, chopper, sniper, and supply whore with ease. It's kind of a balanced map unless you get some good pilots in the J-10's. Last night the US kicked China's ass, J-10 pilots were useless against the F-35's (believe it or not, total noobs at flying).

If EA/DICE actually tried, Wake could be a fantastic map again.

Well, it is near the equator, so it might be a viable defense/resource point.

I'd understand if the PAC would want a resource point and potential staging ground for the pacific theater.
