I like Jalalabad in no vehicles mode- it takes skill and time to take at least one flag. And the nades exploding everywhere remind me of the Omaha Beach. And it's the only map I can play with Jackhammer and not get pwned so often.

- Road to Durka Durka Jalalabad...worst map ever...
IN my opinion, It's a great map when you get a use of the vehicles, but infantry only, no thanks. I played on pretty full server, with infantry only setting on, on MEC side. It was a slater house for US team. Both teams had Snipers, Medics and Support. Its a Frag fest. In my opinion EA should of kept unarmed transport.

We got BOTH. Wake and Jalalabad, so we have a taste of the constant nade throwing and sunbathing on Wake. I was totally against IO. It took me about 4 times playing it to realize its actually really fun. Its actually fun to TRY to get to a flag, many people just hangout and throw nades and not move (ie Karkand BEFORE 1.4 patch anyway), it takes teamwork in IO thats for sure, something I did notice is that I get revived and get ammo now, I don't have to follow an asshat around screaming "Medic!". A team can easily get a flag in IO, once you do you can flank them. Their concentration at the beginning is focused on the uncap, then they focus on the one flag you just capped as your team is capping another one.
....i dunno if you noticed....karkand...everything is brown and blah...EVERYONE seems to love that map....if its not broke, why fix it....you guys wanted more ground pounding maps...you got it....if thats what your goin on...i think EA did a great job....gave you guys what you wanted close quarters action
...just throwin it out there
...just throwin it out there
If you took out the western side of the map...and made "lake" the camp with a few good roads into town...i could like this map.
I definatly like the battle for hotel and market.
junkyard is not bad, but fountain and "outskirt???" (i know thats not it, just can't remember) are just snipe, nade, and armor whore fests.
I have seen too many people waste a whole round playing on that first road.
Only problem with my design is that you can snipe from market to lake. That would suck getting picked off when you spawn there.

I like the game, I just don't like the map. I appreciate that EA has put the effort into making a map for free (EA? FREE!?!?!? ZOMG!!!) but the nade spamming is..intense..
I love all the people sitting in here saying "omg, it's so lifeless and gray!"
...Go look at a picture of the real Jalalabad. It ain't Sydney, Australia, genius. it's in the frickin desert in frickin afghanistan.
"I can't leave the US base cuz of all the snipers!"
Then you aren't doing it right, because I got from the USMC uncap to the mosque without any trouble.

What do you want? An exciting fun land with candy canes and little pink horses running through the long grass towards a rainbow with a shiny pot of gold at the end? I mean cmon, Karkand looks like poo on a stick and people still play it.Cobra4545 wrote:
I've only played it once, but you're right, it was pretty gray and lifeless.
I'll agree, there is A LOT of sniping in this map...me being one of them. But hell, I score typically over 100 points on the map...24+ players and NO VEHICLES.
Claymores are somewhat harder to use because it seems like the capture area of the flags are much larger...

It's a great map, and very well thought out. I've been having a blast on it in IO.
I like it.

I mean, jesus, the map is LIFELESS! Everything is grey!
I feel that this map is allright if you are playing against decent players. It only turns into a nade fest if you are playing with noobs that can't do anything else...
if you want some good looking maps go play point of existence 2.
the only way i like jalalabad is Infantry only, that shit is insane.
this map is awsome if it is IO..... stop complaining play the map is something different get over it i mean who cares what it looks like, it's a map that u score big on and that's all that maters right??
I have no difficulties with Jalalabad, but I lag on huge jungly air maps.
Next time, get in a car and travel AROUND the first spawn point of the MEC. Then, cap the back flags. Instant win.

Has anyone noticed that this map has the fucking WORST DESIGN EVER?
Honestly, When Wake came out it looked amazing, nice new great looking map, and it really seemed like EA put EFFORT into this...
When I played Jalaladerkabad, it looks fucking awful.
I mean, jesus, the map is LIFELESS! Everything is grey! The fucking MEC surround the US, and the US has their little hole to hide in! The whole fucking map becomes a nade spam fest, it's like there are fucking mortar shells exploding all around you..
Anyone else think that EA did this just because they promised that they would release new maps every patch, and JUST for that purpose?
jalalabad is a pretty good map.. nice urban field that reminds me of Warlord and Ghostown. at least there are no whoring medics and support morons like in strike at karkand.
everything is pretty much spread out in the map.. there are more buildings to hide in, especially in the center of the map..
played sniper yesterday and i got 20 kills and 3 deaths in jalalabad.

Something tells me you guys just enjoy bitching for the sake of it. Gee golly isn't it fun to bash the game creators and say "EA SUX!" You know, nobody forced them to develop, playtest and release this map...and for free too...
Its free. You get what you pay for. Learn to play it and make tactical decisions based on what you have. In real life you wont be able to change the location of a battle just because you dont like the lay out of the terrain. Get real.

when you call this map the worst map ever, its (to me ) the same as confessing tht you suck without armour, or that you're too noob to use infantry-tactics instead of point-aim and shoot em up.....
you can "under all circomstances" play this map and end with a nice score....
all you need is a bit of tactical insight and you have to see that jeeps and fav are much more powerfull then a tank on this map....
i am not saying you suck at the game, i only mean tht the people who luv jalalalalalalalalalabad aren't the people who enjoy armour whoring.....
