All i have to say is.

What a F*cking AWESOME MAP.

played it throughout the beta, had a bit of difficulty with lag sometimes, and still do ... but when it Settles down and it plays well, I've had some amazing battles on this map.

Heard alot of people moaning about Tank Sniping and so on, but i think thats part of it. the whole atmosphere out of the map has a really immersive Gulf War feel about it.

I even like the Long Drives out to get to the flags, when your with team-mates in a car, or on the Helicopters its like the silence before the storm.

Had an amazing Battle in the Bunkers last night with some great Teamplayers, was very tough work defending the North Bunker but we did and a player Named Xecess ( i think ) was Nailing them left right and centre with his Saw as they piled in from the Roof, while i covered his back and nipped out once in a while to Pop a few rounds into the MEC Soldiers faces.

a Hefty Gun Battle then Ensued as they all Tried to Attack from the North of our position in an APC - After wiping the floor with them our squad pushed up and we made a Strong Push for the North Village, where we were welcomed by the scariest thing in the entire map. 2 A10s.

Needless to say we all got Owned and Ended up back at north bunker Lol.

So theres Tight, Confined Space Infantry Battles inside the Bunkers, Long Range and Close Range Desert Tank and Vehicle Combat and some Brilliant AIR ro AIR and AIR to GROUND Combat.

I just love to see 2 Migs Flying in formation Whizz past - they Really do look SO Damn Realistic.

Just want to Say well Done Devs, No moans about this Map whatsoever - Absolutely Love it.

Yep it's a great map. Personally, I wonder why it does not start with 2 fighters on the ground (after the 5 min wait or what not) instead of one that builds up to two. They've got two bunkers, after all.

ya same here drew and the only problem with it is all the people complaining about its size. I would love to see in real life some guy yell about the battlefileds size.

I never played this map through the beta, preferring to run my server as Al Basrah Insurgency 24/7.

Last night I stuck on Kashan for a change. We had a great battle last night. One of the best I've ever had in BF2. Fantastic teamplay.

Only thing is, I can't switch my server back to Al Basrah! It's been constantly full/near full since I stuck Kashan on last night!

Certainly a popular map!

yeh this map very rarely lets me down for a good fight, somtimes on public servers it could do with more vehicles to move people around, but i think its mainly due to people zooming off on there own rather than waiting for anyone else who needs a ride

Kashan desert and Assault on mestia. Those are my favorite maps. I love playing in a squad who knows what they are doing. Try the 101st airborne division clan on PR. They play the good maps, actually know how to work together.

Were you on the UK tactics and teamwork Server ?

if so - What a Round

! us MEC Troops Pushed you Right back to the North Village, but it ended up Being a Whole battle for the bunkers.

Was absolutely ace and lasted a good 2 hours nearly !

Post by **epoch** » 2007-07-23 11:50

Yes - that's my server.

You MEC guys certainly gave us a right good hammering.

Top marks to my squad though - they were great. Special mention for "Tweaky" who was brilliant in the A10! I had a guy on my teamspeak who was in the MEC squad and he was cursing Squeaky for ages - I thought he was going to have a stroke!!! Very funny!

Demos can be found here.

The 3 hour battle last night is auto_2007_07_22_21_20_02.bf2demo
and is about 226MB in size! Download and relive your nightmare!

PS. Looking for a good demo indexer if anyone has any recommendations ? I saw one which listed map, players etc but can't find it now.

2 A10s.

There's only 1 A10 on Kashan, unless you confused it with Zatar..

Unless you have a PR tourny tag, or have a [R-Dev], [R-Con], [R-Pub] tag....

One more A10 can spawn if you keep your first A10 alive for 20 min.

I havent seen any body from the Dev team nor any PR tourny people at all. I saw a couple guys with the "[PR]" Tag if thats what you mean, but no devs or anybody else with those tags. Mostly 101st or associate clans.

'[R-DEV wrote:dbzao']One more A10 can spawn if you keep your first A10 alive for 20 min.

Aha that explains things then! Tweaky was in the air for quite some time last night, and I heard someone exclaim "We've got 2 A10s in the air!".

That's a good incentive for good pilots to keep their assets (and asses) in the air! Two A10s would certainly cause some havoc!

That's great - I hope you have fun! The server mapcycle is now Al Basrah Insurgency / Kashan Conquest only (2 rounds each).
