Maps I miss from 0.5 (And you just might too)

Operation Compton was the map British vs Chinese. British had trenches, couple of heavy jeeps. Chinese had some APCs. You can actually download it from BF2 filefront.

Steel Thunder was the one I missed most. Operation Compton sucked miserably (no offense to the person(s) who made it).

I agree with you with Steel Thunder and Inishail forest.

Also, I miss Oasis and Airport.

I miss Jungle Fever and that map that was called like Hongshao Valley or something. Where you had to capture the village in order to get arty, and so only one side ever had arty. Sure it was a support/sniper whoring festival, but what map wasn't one before 0.4?

.

Steel was my fav map of 0.5, needed expanding for 0.6 though. Forest was fine imo

city is coming back in 0.7? Mao I had little love for, not unless we get machetes. OGT is how this map type is best done

Airport was ok but I dont miss it particularly

Is jungle fever the one with the USMC carrier, the swamps, temples and big mountain/hill, with a view distance of 50mtrs(exagerated)?

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-08-20 00:59

No, it was that really small dense jungle with a river running through the map.

Oh yeah! The first flag /for hte US) was that boathouse thingy?

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-08-20 01:15

Yeah, that was the one. It wasn't a bad map. It was the only map back then that didn't get support/sniper whored. Instead it was just spec-op and assault whored.

I gotta go for Muttrah, but I hear that's being remade anyway, so no harm done.

Ah, Jungle Fever, I loved that map. Now that was a fantastic little jungle map, short view distances (both due to the grass and the actual view distances, often you couldn't see more than 25m), disorenting map design (sure it was small, but you got lost really easily) and fantastic close in combat. I remember being pinned down by Charlie in those sand bagged positions like it was yesterday. The VC were all around us man, the staccatto tap of kalashnikov bursts spelling death for guys who were too slow to cover. Man, that map was great. I want another Jungle map like that.

Close in, point blank fighting in really thick jungle. I was hooked on it man. Oh man, imagine a 17 square kilometer jungle like that with a few sandbagged positons with, say, 100m clear firezones around them. Thats my idea of PR heaven. Much more fun than sand maps.

Point blank, full auto with an AK or blasting people with my beloved boom stick.

Please, mappers, lets get some jungles! Proper, ultra dense, point blank fire fight jungles. They rock so much.

Edit: Actually, IIRC, wern't we deprived of our beloved shotties in 0.3, with engineers carrying SMGs instead?

PLA, whatever. I can have flashbacks to wars I wasn't in if I want.

Charlie was all over us, man.

Mao Valley. The reason why I didn't uninstall this mod. The first map I played and realized the brilliance of this mod and the genius of that map.

The choke points mixed with open areas, dense jungle, etc.

It had some of the best and most memorable infantry battles. Holding a choke point was more important than holding the flag. It was great.

Shame on them for removing it. SHAME.

Speaking of maps, is Operation Barracuda going to be in for 0.7? That map was along with Assault on Mestia in that news update a while back and I thought both maps were going to be in for 0.6. Oh well, gotta wait longer I guess
