What map do you want if you could get your own 24/7 server??

Please, for the love of god, no Chinese maps. Those things are the worst maps ever.

I'll have to agree with no chinese maps. It's not just that the maps don't interest me much, I also can't stand using the Chinese weaponry. It's one type of army I have zero desire to ever play.

only nubs hate jabal.

EJOD!!!
other good maps would be OGT, helmland(only if the server had a max of 40 players or less), jabal, and qwai.
PLEASE dont do greasy mullet! I hate that map!

Whenever I think about chinese maps Mao and POW camp come to mind (which are complete turn offs)

but then I think of Qwai and RTKN and OGT which are 3 of the best maps in the game (even if OGT in .5 is kinda meh, it needs some flag group tweeking, but then again, most maps do)

'[R-PUB wrote:Garabaldi']OGT is one of the best maps ever.

So is RTK.

Are we text messaging here? Spell them out, I can't read acrynomiun.

I don't like the Chinese maps for a couple reasons.

They always feel the same
The jungle isn't very well done for my tatse
The bamboo is like some kind of force field
The Chinese skins are too closely related to th US
The Chinese weapons sound like nerf guns
The maps are stale
Every Chinese map seems to play the same way
I see less teamwork on the Chinese maps then I do on the others

No offense, but I really can't stand the map selection in PR...

If it were up to me, I'd go with a rotation of Oman and Zatar

I think if anything, a good 24/7 map is one with some great replay value. Basically maps that offer all sorts of different playing styles. From playing in a mere infantry squad, armor VOIP or piloting transport and attack choppers. I think that's why I like playing Al Basrah alot, since games can be pretty unpredicatble.

Hell just earlier today I had alot of fun when my squad got chased down the river south of village. We were under constant fire from Insurgents, and even ambushed by a technical (Luckily I had L-AT). Finally we were extracted by a Blackhawk, and had a close call with an anti-air missile during retreat. It was pretty intense, but things like that really make maps memorable.

I think Qwai River would be an excellent 24/7 canidate. Lots of possibilities on that map, from having skirmishes in the forest hills, being ambushed while driving down some road, helicopter insertions, being pinned down by a sniper, or partaking in the mass fighting that concentrates around the river flags. Great all around map really.

Jabal is pretty cool (Second on my list), but I think it can use some improvements. EJOD would be third on my list, since it offers a nice blend of armor and infantry combat.

British maps are best: Hills of Hamyong?

I hate playing as USA/MEC because rifleman kits are straightup hopeless without optics,a nd great fun with.

EJOD for sure.

It promotes the most teamwork, the map is balanced and realistic. Just a lot of fun.

Helmand. No questions please.

Post by **fuzzhead** » 2007-04-05 22:33

Good Candidates:

Qwai River
EJOD Desert
Jabal al burj

all the rest are too small or not enough variety imo for 64 players

Damn youse!

I see less teamwork on the Chinese maps then I do on the others

1. hummm, I dont really see how that can be when some are jungles, some are forest, some are open, 1 is urban, and some are mixed.
2. they aint all jungles?
3. ehhh, you can shoot though them..
4. what about the UK maps? and is that really such a bad thing?
5. so if the sounds where changed, you would like them more?
6. this makes no sence..
7. how so? qwai and OGT are very diffrent maps... both are brillant maps but both are very diffrent.
8. I disagree tottaly with this, I infact see more teamwork on maps like qwai and OGT than I do on alot of MEC and INS maps. In the end its more about the players than the maps that reflect the teamwork.

you still havent to me really exsplained why you/other players dont like chinese maps. I really hoped before players would like them more when the chines got the QBZs...

I like China Maps... especially my scoped QBZ-95 <3
They're also great for setting up ambushes, and claymores do have a real use in the jungle.

Should i just wait on the new version???

Could it be cool to have theme weeks, like one week we could host maps with Jungle, and then just maps with desert and then forrest...

We could also blend in one Extraction in the rotation if you like..

My main objective here is to give you what you want, so we all can benefit from it and have a great time......
