Digging into the localization file, I find this...

LOADINGSCREEN_MAPDESCRIPTION_hinganhills[][]Military planners for both the US and the People’s Republic of China quickly realized that this sector contains key strategic bridges that provide easy armored access to the Manchurian heartland and deployed accordingly. To secure possession of these vital lines of advance elements of both nations are racing to meet head-on amidst the scattered farms, villages and industrial areas of this ancient, remote landscape.[][]

The []s are to replace the boxes around the text, since it won't copy and paste into my browser.

Dang - you beat me to posting this. Noticed this when, uh, when I still actually played BF2. (1.3, where it was futile to join a server and so I just modded)

Ah well. Nice.

EA/DICE wont trust map made by players...because they could include glitch that only them know...and there is also the "Balanced gameplay" factor that EA/DICE want to keep....many stupid reason lol.

Is balance why they won't let any custom maps be ranked? *cough*Wake Island*cough*

hehe sorry but no dice....
Its a valid argument, with out someone checking every map it would be WAY easy to make random maps for padding, glitching , ect.....If you are gonna go through the trouble of setting up a whole point/ranking system you kinda have to preserve the "integrity" of a point.

Now I realize how dumb THAT sounds, but if you are so into points/ranks that you wont play a map you want to just because it doesn't have that ranking system in place then it obviously is important right? You can still play any map you want on a unranked server.

I mean stats are there to be tracked/compared, if the value of a point is dependent on what map or server a player plays what is the point?♦♠

I see DICE are fimly standing their ground when it comes to not giving the PLA an Urban map.

Now im sure they intentionally left some content out of the game, so they could make money out of it later when bf2 would become popular.

As much as Id like to see one (just like everyone else), maybe its a good thing. I mean, if people want the PLA medal then they are forced to play vehicle maps *shock horror*

I bet DICE does include glitches for themselves so they can cheat in their own game and when the glitch is notices by mortal player they bring out a patch to fix the old and include a new, and the CTD's were introduces so dice can crash any server which pisses them off!

I call it DI/CE: Where's my change?

I don´t want the Medal, I want to use the AK-47. Cause it´s a cool gun, but DICE obviously forgot to bring the "Heavy-Armor-Piercing-Bullets" along... :S

And Great Wall provides great PLA vs EU infantry battles up on the walls, but its mostly vehicle dominated (FAV's and 4 pieces of armour per team) in anything under 50players.

I still reckon they should do a BF:Superpower Nations

Levels would be New York, London, Berlin and Moscow in a very near future environment. Then UK, USA and Ze Germans and De Reds can all gang up on France and burn shit out of them.

True, but the running distance on the 32size is insane at the start. Once its inside though, its good. But its hard to take any flags beyond the first lot at the start due to the sheer running distance required and commander spotting. And thats where the vehicles come in to keep the map going

16player size, IO or not, is entirely infantry based. The PGZ-95 mobile AA's that spawn are so weak anyway that they make next to no difference.
