I like Jallalabad, I like Karkand.
I'll play what the map rotation gives me.
Simple as that.

All maps have their + and _ points...
Now let's hope there will be servers that have all maps in the map rotation (inc AF and EF).

Do you know what?

Screw infantry only how about a no-nade match type that would really bring the fun back into Karkand.

Since i don't see EA nerfing the nade i guess we are going to have to wait for that.

Jalalalalalalalalalabladder looks good but i'll get bored with it pretty quick.

I was able to run jalalallabad with patch 1.3 in single player. 

update a copy of BF2 to the beta 1.4 patch then uninstall the game makeing sure that the uninstaller does not delete your user profiles and settings. Then reinstall the game and patch back up to 1.3 with the full patch. 

Load the game/login and go to single player to play the new map.  I don't know how robust the server installs are so who knows if it would work there.    It would be cool to get a 1.3 up and playing jawhatitsnamebad before 1.4 was finalized.  I don't think that EA would shut down the server if it was ranked because the bata servers are running it ranked. No infantry only mode though.

No..there is only ONE Karkand. And if you've noticed its like herding cats for people to leave that map. Basically Jahalalalalalalalala is like a Mashtuur imho, you don't see people flocking to that, even though I think Mashtuur is 10X better. People like Karkand because of the closeness of the first flag, thats it. In that first flag you get massive nade lobbing, pkm camping, tank can just sit in one place and not move.

Why did I love it at first? Because thats where everyone was and I made friends there. Warlord is begining to get the Karkand stragglers unfortunately, but Warlord USED to be a great map, and still is when the kids are tucked away by mommy...or daddy..

What does Jahalalalalalalala need? It needs an indoor Palace, along with a TV Station, with an abandoned airport , streets like Ghost town --okay it has that-- Basically what would make Jahahahahaha the best map ever-- is make Warlords TV and Palace, Ghost Towns Streets, Night Flights Airport and Back Base, Surges Back Base, Mass Destructions Chemical Plant and Junk Yard...All buildings being close. Damn..sounds like SF is the best thing EA/DICE did.
SF maps do pwn, I just really hate Spetznaz / Insurgents / MEC basics and standard unlocks.

Nothing like playing against the G36E / L96 / FN2K.  Fun.

havn't really played road to jalalabad yet. but i think any map must be better than strike at karkand. all you see in that map are tank whores, nade whores and support whores lol. why did i ever play karkand u ask? i guess its because i was noob and looking for a quick way to make points for my unlocks yet sometimes the map is fun i must add its just the start is abit gay because all u hear is "grenade" "need ammo? take ammo here" and ppl are on like 20 points in a matter of seconds

so i say jalalabad > karkand. yet some might say, including myself, sharqi > jalalabad > karkand
(btw i really struggled to spell that stupid name jalalalabad correctly the first time lol!)

i dont know why people say armors fuck infantry maps, if those noobs get a at tanks would disappear fast,but noobs still using sniper medic and suppor with a tank in their base,i saw the final mach between 2 good clans in mash, and armors where hiding most of the time because half team where at and worked in team.

i first impresion of jallalalabad was DC map but i dont sure i going to see the map out of a beta

Shraqi beats them both by a long shot.
Sharqi is the best map, you can take out the armor easily and if both USA and MEC heli crews are skilled you don't need to take care of them as an infantry soldier.

Between city entrance, surveillance post and alleyway you have really nice infantry figth's.

Best's map ever has got to be :-

BF2 = Sharqi Peninsula

Special Forces = Ghost Town

Euro Forces = Great Wall

Armored Fury = Operation Road Rage

Ive played Karkand to death and will only go back to get my vet armour if i have time before the rumored demise of the ranking system .

Well, I especially like the eastern part of Karkand with that factory, warehouse, gatehouse, etc. Here we have close combat but also decent spots for people who excel in picking off enemies from afar with their L96A1, M24, G36E, G36C, PKM or any other very accurate weapon. Further, nade spamming is rather useless unless you're on top of that roof accessible over the container-crane in the harbour. Even there, you'll probably make more kills with your guns (which would be pretty accurate as you usually go up there as a member of the USMC) and therefore leave you vulnerable for when an enemy would take notice of you.

I haven't played RTJ much. Yet, what I've figured is that not snipers own the map but supporters with a medic in their back to revive them. The PKM is deadly accurate and since many flags are to be aimed on directly from roofs (especially the mosque) you'd not even as a lucky sniper have the chance of taking out all enemies before you get hit by at least three bullets.

I don't want to vote on that for the very reason that no one can ever predict how things will work out on the new map. I'm rather of the opinion that MECs indeed will find a way to win the rounds, it just will take some time.

Fuck Karkand. It's an ugly piece of shit full of faggot point, tank, medic, and nade whores. That map takes absolutely no skill. Just get in all your tanks and shoot randomly and you'll bring down 40+ guys.

Jalabad is fun, the server I was on had 4 tanks camped on the hill kitting our last flag(U.S.)  Lots of tanks, volleys of nades thrown, sniping is great.  Over all I give this map a 7.5/10.  Its basically Sharki, Ghost Town(special forces) and Karkand mixed together with the buildings rearranged around.
