mate you either need a better graphics card or actually try flying a plane as you will see if travelling resonably slow say 700kph jets can spot inf and bomb as soon as you see them = kill 70% of the time, learn to fly or upgrade your pcPBAsydney wrote:

Says you...there is nothing worse than travelling half way across one of those large maps only to be killed by some twat in a jet. I'll take the street fight any day of the week.
Jets can't see infantry on the ground from altitudes above like 100, it's the LOD system, they can't even see vehicles, only reason they hit them is because of the radar.
True, but it just never goes ok for me. (unless im commander). I like the big maps, but the whole dam area is just TOO big for my liking.PBAsydney wrote:

Jalalabad is actually pretty fun and enjoyable I found. I found no nade spamming or claywhoring when I played it - both when I was on foot and in armour across 4 rounds (2 of which the server crashed...).
Yes, its mainly Infantry, but where I was playing - US armour got annhilated at the front since there was a very strong AT team sat there taking it out every time since they have good spots to hide in. I should know, they got me a few times.
The only problems I have with the map, is that it is a complete reversal of Sharqi where the MEC always win. On Jala, it seems as if the US always win. And its because of the uncaps and how close the armour starts to the front. But thats only based on 4rounds so far and a lot of us are new to the map and gota learn it.
hah, I'm running everything on high and there's nothing wrong with my eyes, in old DC I could target out infantry much better.surgeon_bond wrote:

I do agree, IMO Mass Destruction has got to be one of the best maps in the game.-=raska=- wrote:
Jalalabad will become like karkand soon... For the one who said he didnt find gaymore whoring and nade spamming, its because people dont know really know the map and its best posts for gaymores and grenades.. wait a few weeks and you will find a different jalalabad, or I should say, different play styles !
I think BF2 needed a map like the ones on SF, where tanks cant go everywhere and cant get huge score easily. Also, I think that a map with hills and mountains like Surge and Mass destruction in SF would have been cool. Im tired of Karkand and its dusty-Baghdad style. What about a more "sinister" atomosphere like the one of Surge or all the maps of SF ?
I agree it sux but it doesnt hold a candle to KARKAND.........Id like to see if the car glitch in the MEC hotel has been fixed too,,,,,I played JALALAPUKE for 4 rounds and the basic problem is that the MEC command centre is so vulnerable to getting raped it isnt funny...on the otherhand the US Base is so spread out you'd need 3 squads to handle it's demise whereas one good squad can put the finishing touch on the MEC base,,,,,poorly made map(whover made this map was on some really bad drugs).AND the OTHER thing that really sucks is that my favorite server has gone to INFANTRY only on both maps,,,,,,I hope they like playing on a dead server until they wake up and change it back.PBAsydney wrote:
I shall call it: ANOTHER KARKAND.
That map is just pure crap, if you're all into getting raped by a shitload of grenades and artillery, while being defenceless against the armor whores: THIS IS THE MAP FOR YOU, JUST LIKE KARKAND!
I don't understand why you people like Karkand so more...the open maps have better infantry combat, less vehicle whoring and more fun overall.

It's not bad with no arty allowed and infantry only, I quite enjoy it. Better than Karkand IMO.PBAsydney wrote:

I agree, I just owned up a server today with my squad. We all went atleast 20 and 5 (k/d).kessel! wrote:
jalalabad w/o vehicles is soo much fun. to be honest, my interest in bf2 was at a definate low today, but now i actually want to play again!

Also, maybe it's not the map that sucks but the MEC team? It's just like Karkand in terms of MEC strategy; don't defend your back bases, get raped from behind. Don't blame DICE for making a map that requires defense.
