Uhh... That wasn't whining. I was just stating, once again, I can't believe I am seeing ads in BF2.

Sounds more like USMC business if you believe the map briefing.

As the most direct path for supplies and re-enforcements for both sides this expanse of the Arabian Peninsula has been dubbed Highway Tampa by the US forces. In order to ensure safe passage of critical new Intel technologies through the supply route the U.S. forces must hold off the encroaching MEC mobile divisions

HAHAHAH! Funny...

Hmmm... I have an idea. Let's bring the chip war to the virtual battlefield.

Someone should contact the AMD public relations department and tell them they should pay EA/Dice lots of $$$ to make a brandnew PLA vs. USMC city map, plastered with AMD billboards & ads.

Then repeat the same thing with nVidia and ATI.

Well, could get a bunch of free booster packs & map packs that way and the game will get patched until 2017.

I may not be a hardcore BF2 player, but i really liked the new map.
Barren dessert landscape, loads of tanks, planes buzzing by and no attack choppers to worry about.
One of the better maps if you ask me.
Too bad it was another MEC vs. USA map though.
I would like to see an even bigger map, but sunny as wake, and a huge town smack in the middle.

Download PR, have a look at the Al Basrah map. Big city with lots of open countryside between the British Airfield and insurgent held city. Even has destroyable buildings among many other great additions

EA really are skimpy though, mods are realising big patches every few maps with tons of maps and new armies, for free with no ads. I've heard that this map isn't even a new map, just one that was scrapped earlier.

Good idea. I don't even notice the billboards, tbh. If it gets us more free stuff, then load those babies up!

Plus it'd help if they sent out their best processors to the people who download the maps so we can sample them and decide which is best. And by sample I mean keep forever.

Hey guys can u play this map in offline mode? I'm currently in china so i'm not able to join any of those servers. Just wanna check it out...

Create Local server...Co-Op? Conquest? Or maybe singleplayer map with bots? Please tell me, cause I need hours for the download...

Yea you can, but only in a local Conquest server. I havent tested it with co-op(I'm not sure if you can) and it isnt available in singleplayer.

i can't say i ever noticed this in a boat on other maps, but i can't say i've tried, are C4 and bullets supposed to go through the boats?

i dont really like the map. its too big and wide open. when ea said "vehicle based", they meant it. in order to get anywhere, you have to have a vehicle. also, every server i joined with this map had unbelievable lag. the map needs to have an attack chopper too.

They should put in a travelator to get the different flags so we don't have to run as much.

So you don't like BF2, or the BF2s community, but you still hang out here...

Its would be nice to see more Vodniks and humvees....

Exactly, i'd rather have Intel's map than no map at all (but I'm playing on intel hardware anyway, so they didn't need to advertise to me )

Yup. Who cares about ads. Looking at them for too long will get you killed. EA, fill up the place with ads, as long as you keep adding more maps.
