Road to Jalalabads IO = Sniper Happy Camp Fest

The 1.4 patch downloaded at 1.2 meg/sec as a torrent, very impressed, helps when there is about 1,000,000,000 seeds!! lol

I always got the crash when push "Join Game" button, it drove me nuts... but have not seen it yet! (fingers crossed)

I was excited to see a new map, however upon playing it for the first time I was a little disapointed to see it is a sniper happy camp fest. Mind you the map was set to IO so that would have something to do with it, but I dont think the new map really has much on the old favorites, it feels more like a special forces map than anything else.

I think the IO mode is going to become a sniper camping grounds and I dont really see much point, but each to their own I suppose.

Give me the 16 player Dam any day!

I did not notice any glitches in my system at all, everything ran well, I played for about 3 hours on several maps with no dramas. If they have not 'fixed' it, they have certainly made it better!

I reckon Jalaalallalalabad is a good AT map (with vahicles on) especially as MEC at the start of a round. Shoot down all the cars coming down from US uncap at the start...3 kills each buggy!

I love the IO Jalalabad for points... easy as Medic and Support.

But this is the one thing besides the plane imbalance not changed that I MUST bitch about:

nade spamming. If the US never caps a flag it's like 5 F-15's hovering over that "no-man's land" constantly dropping bombs. Dear god it's as if nobody uses guns anymore...

Wow, I learned something today. I always thought "QFT" stood for "Quit fucking talking" and QFE stood for "Quit fucking exxagerating". Thanks, Penetrator_01!

I personally find Jalalabad a fun map, its got the urban and the wide open spaces. In a nice little grenade sized package. Sure there are alot of snipers prowling everywere, but thats not always a bad thing. I've nearly gotten veteran knife badge from jalalabad and probably wont be to long till expert.

Hey Phatso. The world really is a small place

I like the new map. Got into some nice sniping duels last night. Snipers on the hotel roof kept coming back, and I kept nailing them. It's not as open as Mashtuur or Sharqui, snipers have to be on their toes a lot more.

I 100% agree. 1st time I was on it I was using infatry and with US having 2 tanks they were smashing me to pieces (and I had a lot of lag on this server), the 2nd round I was in a tank and I had rockets shooting at me every seconds. Its pretty crazy but I really enjoy the map.

The infantry mode only on that map sucks for the U.S., you have to be a sniper, till you get a flag, if you can walk that far.

Meh, maybe its just me, but I haven't seen very much sniping. The made (imo) sucks. First time around was fun, but then it just gets boring. Nothing like karkand though.

Yea, TERRIBLE map for Infantry Only. EA continues to amaze us with their brilliance. US has to walk like 1/2 a mile out in the open, just asking to get picked off. I like the idea of Infantry only, but it's just not going to work on some maps. Infantry only, needs to be used with moderation; I'm afraid every noob server admin and their mother are going to turn on Infantry only just because it's new, and we're going to be playing Wake infantry only games.

Road To Jalalabad is a great map for infantry only. On the 16 player version you're immediately in the core of the town and that's what people want.

It's obvious that some maps don't work with infantry only settings, it's not intended to play maps like Dalian Plant, Zatar Wetlands or any other of the large vehicle maps as infantry only because it's way to boring.

You'll get fun if you play the uberpopular city maps as infantry only and that's what DICE intended the server admins to do. Out of the large maps the 16 player version of Gulf Of Oman works too, because it's basically a stretched city map. Possibly the 16 player version of Kubra Dam works too, because there are so many stairs, tunnels etc where you can move as infantry.

Mass destruction is a great map for I/O.

I enjoy Jalabakalakadakabad. IO is an ok setting...I dont care for it much. Id rather have to deal with the tanks killing me from time to time......so I can get across the map by some sort of vehicle, rather than walking the whole way....Im lazy, what can I say lol
