i think deadfish means BASED OFF of real places....

i hardly think any vanilla bf2 maps can be considered 'designed like' real places.

I'm pretty sure those are of another dam, and that Kubra Dam is not real.

I looked at the site, and they had three pictures of "Kubra Dam", and the third one has big signs with characters on them (Chinese I think, but I'm not sure). So I'm pretty sure that it is another dam.

EDIT: I think it is the Three Gorges dam.

Then like every map in every semi-realistic game is based off a real place...

A few Battlefield 2 maps, like Daqing oilfield, are a reference to a real place. There is an actual Daqing oilfield in China, but it looks nothing like the bf2 map.

The real Daqing Oilfield: http://english.cas.ac.cn/English/image/S&T/daqing.jpg

The maps in bf2 are just map to look semi-realistic (except for the airstrips close together), but are not based off real places.

some maps are modelled after a real place, but they do not look exactly like that
(just like "our" muttrah city is based off a real place) - it´s just a fact, many of the places (like jallalabad) really exist, it´s just really difficult to "export" them into playable bf2 sized maps

I ment that no matter if you build a map out of your mind, you will find a place looking like it somewhere around the globe (as long as it's realistic) ;)

CP Abadan I know for sure is based off the Iranian town, my dad was able to figure out it was set in Iran just by the map from on top of the hill near the CS

Wow, are we fighting in Oman in the 1950s in BF2?

Oh, and Wake Island is almost an exact replica of the real thing, but the airfield, unsurprisingly, is too short.

Dalian plant is a real place, it just hasn't been built yet, but the design is about right. The only thing is, the area around it is not mountainous.

Muttrah looks almost the same good job Rhino.

That's Zhejiang, not Zhanjiang, and Shongua is actually Songhua, so I wouldn't trust the reliability of that pic. Dragon Valley is based on a place in Shaanxi (Shangxi). And now, undoubtedly, Abadan exists, Basrah exists, Aqaba exists, and soon, Taipei.
