BF2S Forums Why is everybody slamming jalalalabad?

because people around here are whiny little bitches that have to complain about everything humanly possible.

Jet whores get owned since there are no jets.
Armor whores get C4ed.
Only groundpounders like it.

Well after finally recovering my cd-key I tried it, and was very positive. But omg there was a lot of nade spamming. It was like real war. Huuuray.

Because no one knows how to spell it.  It's J-A-L-A-L-A-B-A-D, Jalalabad.  Just 2 "la's".

Apart from the massive C4-using, its a decent map.

Edit: and if you are thinking about getting your ground defense badges, this map is probably the right place

"Armor whores" get c4ed on every map. So basically all this has for ground pounders is no jets. So does that mean only ground pounders love Karkand and Jalalabad? Well...

I'm a ground pounder, I don't really like it that much at all. I like as many vehicles as possible, just means more shit to blow up! Any true ground pounder who enjoys working as a team, like myself, love other maps that have true battles such as Wake Island and Sharqui Peninsula. You have to work as a team to overcome those "Armor Whores." Same with any vehicle. I think it's more fun to work as a team and take out enemy vehicles than it is to just shoot people. Seriously, if you don't believe me, go find a Wake server with 64 people on it and wait until USMC captures the south part of the island. Pretty much everybody not in air vehicles are fighting between the beach and the airfield, now THAT is a great infantry battle. Not these little things you see in Karkand and Jalalabad. Just go give it a shot and you'll see why 90% of the time I play, I only join servers that are currently running Sharqui or Wake.

I like the map, i own in a tank or any class too. Spec ops is fun on infantry only btw, so is anti tank

It plays like an SF map with a lot of the rooftops being accessable. This makes the map more alive and more than one dimensional *cough* karkand *cough. And, unlike karkand, Jalalalalalalalalabad is a great map, and is one of the only city maps where you get more than 1 AT player per team, most of whom organise themselves (somewhat) into defending CP's against maraudering USMC armour.

Nade spamming and claywhoring is a lot less scarce in it compared to karkand. Its just a shame that the map is heavily based in the USMC favour.

It is a decent map, but it would have been better if they put some actual effort into it. Besides using recycled buildings, and poor lighting.

first few times i was doing nothing but dying but now there are so many good hiding spots it ranks up with karkand for a great map, it rules, as long as its a big server, only a dozen people playing does not make sense

only a few kits are played with no vehicles, yea thats because no one is going to play engineer or spec ops or anti tank on a map with no vehicles are they?

I am almost exclusively Sniper and Spec Ops whether the map is No Vehicles or not.  I find that the weapons for Spec Ops are far more accurate than those of Assault, and i prefer accuracy over power.  It is fairly easy to hit a distant target with the G36C.  I can't remember the last time i played Assault.  I haven't actually played Jahalabad yet is it on the Vanilla version of BF2??

This map= omg <3 SVD PWNAGE

its so open for USMC, but, there are WAY too many tanks, like, 5+ in total, its BS, always two tanks capping your flag
