I'll probably grow tired of this map soon but not just yet.

I don't like the zoning, it's too tight and doesn't give any flanking possibilities. Why limit the map like that? There are even buildings that goes in the red zone.

I think jlalakakebeb is an awesome map having only played on it for an hour last night...

Our server was set on 300 tickets infantry only and it was wicked.

That map is just pure crap, if you're all into getting raped by a shitload of grenades and artillery, while being defenceless against the armor whores: THIS IS THE MAP FOR YOU, JUST LIKE KARKAND!

I don't understand why you people like Karkand so more...the open maps have better infantry combat, less vehicle whoring and more fun overall.
You are talking about how you dont like karkand when your most played map is karkand.

It's kind of hard to find non-karkand servers that are below 100 in ping...

Really defense is a part of this game, and that goes double for maps in which teams have no UCB.
Yeah but the point is you only get a few guys bothering to defend the back flags, and it's really hard to hold them. Also annoying how you miss one guy creeping round, then if he caps it and suddenly 20 guys come and rape your ass.

Yeah, not enough space around the edges and there are building that you can't get on just because of that.

I dont have any problem with it... if I want USMC Time I play Karkand - if want MEC time I play Jalalabad.

Both have its advantages and disadvantages...

I do love the Infantry only option... very nice

I wasn't overly impressed, to be honest.

Karkand clone?  Not particularly.  It reminded me much more of a combination of Ghost Town and Mashtuur or Warlord.  Buildings with ladders are around large parts of the city making for tons of spots to get killed by grenades and Snipers.  That and the occasional Medic camping somewhere low enough with an L85 or G36E.

Armor wasn't a huge problem.  Much like Ghost Town, armor isn't as effective as Karkand since there's plenty of places to hide and plenty of spots for AT and SpecOps to pop out and blow up tanks.  The two caps closest to the US uncap are favored spots of tanks, though.

Infantry only was okay but I'd probably have just preferred having the vehicles for this map.  You have a better chance against the snipers and naders.

In the end, I really wish they'd done a city map in China so I could at least rack up some more PLA time.

There are no cities in China or other parts of Asia. Only middle-easterns live in houses!

Yes your right...but i enjoyed playing it.For the MEC its a bit hard to win....bf2 is too USMC oriented....all maps got USMC on it...so that should be changed...like MEc vs PLA...okey who cares

1. This map is good to get your read kills if you want tog et some veteran or expert transport badge.
2. Also a good amp for snipers
3. Good for engineers who can be happy to use AT mines....ahahahaha
4. Medic & Support whoring is also possible

Its like a karkand...but people liek maps like this and finally karkand got a rival.

Not really.  AT squads works wonders, what with all the roof and alley access.  If there were APC's on the map, well, it would be a different story... Every Kit is actually useful on this map.

I wouldn't say, that Jalalabad is unbalanced. I spent 12 rounds on that map yesterday... no Infantry only option set, 300 tickets, 64 player server with between 30 and 32 players on each team, automatic teamswitch after each round. The team I was on lost only one round.... and that was as USMC

I think Jala has the potential to become a great map - in the correct setting. That setting would be infantry only, with people who do things other then nade spam.

FFS what a whining little tard.

I'm sick of reading such fucking rediculous posts, keep talking through your assholes people.

played 2 rounds last night on it as inf only and absolutely dominated, it's nothing like karkand.  It has aspects for all classes, plenty of roofs for snipers, medics as usual, support as usual, engineer with tanks/mines, assualt(nerfed anyway), spec ops for jihad.

And rofl at your most played map....

I've been playing this map on infantry only the last couple nights.  I've been playing with 64 people and it is a great map I think.  I like it better than Mashtuur and the other city maps.

I'm still learning it, and I'm really having a blast.  Infantry only has two phases it seems - first part is getting past the snipers.  It seems that everyone is getting better at this first phase now, and it doesn't take long until the U.S. establishes somewhere in the city.

Once in the city- holy crap it can get very very fun!  These battles thru the streets are exciting and can be long and drawn out fights.   There is so much action and I love knowing that every big infantry battle isn't going to end because of artillery or a tank comes rolling up.   I'm still going to play "normal" BF2, but I'm really really liking the infantry only, now that people seem to be getting used to it more.  This map is excellent so far, also. 

There have been a couple times people were spamming grenades and frustrated me here and there- but for the most part the map was big enough that people couldn't really get away with that stuff for too long.

This is my new favorite map.
