You CAN'T get the feeling of AF and EF(thank God!!!) with the massive plane/chopper whoreing. Belive me I am about to take my gold aviator badge on AF, so REMOVE the plane from "Tampa" map! Today I witness the usual suspects, this time seven of them waiting for this shit. There are maps for everything planewhoreing, chopperwhoreing, I/O and I have no problem with this. They could release an urban map with China vs USA, or even more map with planes or helicopters - lots of planes and helicopters, but at least once do the thing right and make a real Tank map.globefish23 wrote:
Well, a big feature, if not the main feature in AF is the the scout heli's additional reconnaissance.nukchebi0 wrote:

You cheap P.O.S, you'll never get the feel of AF with this one map! No bombers, lil Birds and no attack helo's u nub!
Also the muscle car and the semi truck. So you're definitely missing out something.
Other than that, I agree, you can get the spirit of AF and EF with the massive tank battles.

- New BF2 Map Released - (Highway Tampa)
When I was able to play Tampa it was alright but the game kept crashing to desktop everytime a round finished, and it seemed kinda glitchy
Looks nothing like Tampa.. carry on.

I like the map. It's nice to be able to drive without a helicopter or plane bombing you out of nowhere. I also like the open style of the map, it's something different and more than one way to reach some of the checkpoints.
Take the planes out & it would be a great tank map. Take the tanks out & it would be a fun air map. Add the two together & you have one crappy map, might as well throw in helos as well, it would at least be some distraction for the planes. It's free though! keep'em coming EA redeem yourself.

I was just thinking:
Does anyone want to found a clan called "Masochist Clan" with me?
We'd be playing Highway Tampa on I/O 24/7 on our clan server then.

AFAIK, this map is going to be released for BF2 and BF2142.MAGUIRE93 wrote:

My guess is that they were starting to make it for BF2142 but then thought they could release it for BF2 too, to get even more people to view the billboard ads.
Another guess is, that they haven't yet come up with the final ads that are going to be put in the BF2 version (BF2142 has interactive billboard ads). It's a beta version after all.
Go to the EA forums and post it there. It won't help in here.
I like it, neat map to get my armor hours on.

EXPLINATION.
Well at least there aren't that many jets, and a TON of tanks for them to go after...still works out well for those in tanks,TrollmeaT wrote:

YAY! its elamein all over again!
I think that's the one thing we can all agree on.TrollmeaT wrote:

Indeed, it reminds me of El Alamein and deserts from BF1942! Great! I like this map a lot.Doms wrote:

Well, I had a game on it, so now I can voice my thoughts:
-Take out the fucking planes. Seriously. There is only one per team, but it is still unbalanced, as there is no cover on the map at all.
-Add more light transport.
-Replace the AA tanks with regular tanks (but keep the stationary AA for the transport choppers).
-Make the main bases uncaps.
-Put something between the MEC base and the first flag.
At the moment, there isn't really much to differentiate it for the other aircraft maps (road rage, daqing, etc). Have an armour-central map for once, and take out the planes.

replace the mec FAV so it is NOT the chinese FAV...look at the Type-95 gun mounted on it...
Everyone would be sniping...globefish23 wrote:

- Agreed, remove the planes, maybe static ones such as on Iron Gator for the mood.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:

- Agreed!
- Replace the AA with a LAV/BTR.
- Agreed!!
- Maybe some very high sand dunes. Or an oases.
No, not main bases as uncaps. Only acceptable reason to make these uncaps would be removing jets completely.
I had a nice teamwork squad today:
Captured about 30 flags on the round. Blackhawk ftw
That's a bit too much I think. We were armor whoring on the latter part of the round.

If there ever was a map that needed Assault Lines..... too much flag hoping going on.
Anyway the idea is good but I have to say it will be much better in 2142. Tanks have zoom in 2142.
Its supposed to be a tank map, and judging by the size of it it supposed to be for long range fighting. But in BF2 due to no zoom, very poor view distance and the dusty setting of the map, you cant see properly past 150 meters not to mention over 250 meters distances. So its still just drive across the open desert and attack a flag at close range.
Im looking forward to trying out the 2142 version. It will be a great test to see which one sucks less....

The server I was on last night ended up with only ten people on eventually, but this made my lag calm down and gave ema chance to dominate the skies. I hardly ever get the oppourtunity to use jets so last night was good practice against real people and pilots who will attack you. F-18 ftw.
I have not yet tried it.. but I am downloading it now..
I see, when I search for servers that there are ranked servers running Highway Tampa.. but are they really ranked?.. just wondering since its a BETA map..

yep theyre rankd
Thats what i say! 250+ hours to go!AdamBenson wrote:

No, the mobile AA's are beasts. They are the only thing that can keep the defending AT's down from long distance, while your tanks and troops move in on the flag. I had the highest kill count last night with the mobile AA.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:
