Why not? Is there something i'm missing here? AAS instead of AASv2 or what?? It's actually not that bad - Extraction is just really short and lasts <5 mins. Hardly worth the long load time for the map.

What else will Basrah run?
Extract is awesome but...you don't want conquest on do you?

I think he means it's supposed to be an Extract map. Like I said, Extract is really short and hardly worth the long load time for the map. Besides it's sucha good map that's being wasted on a game-mode that uses like 1% of the map. Imo, that map should be a MEC vs USMC map. With a MEC airfield, tanks and the U.S airport. It would be a really good map then!

Unfortunately most servers play Al Basrah in 32 player size :S

especially in europe.
But, IMO Basrah should have the surges, because thehyt could be anywhere, a la guerilla style. I thinks its the only map that allows this.

I disagree with that, the insurgents just make it feel so much more realistic, especially with their IEDs targetting tanks etc. I think with oposition air capabilities this map would just get too hard.

Yeah, keep the Insurgents, indeed use them more often!

extraction with the SUV is really awsome fun if done right. IT would be cool to see that done more.

yep, its a real shame servers just dont run xtract....
just hope the same dosen't go when we get other game modes in like scenario etc and hope server admins do run it more....
why doesn't the 24/7 al basrah run both the AAS and xtract versions?

aha, maybe there is a need for a 24/7 extract server ... that would be fun.

If i had a server i would do this :
Run Al'Basrah 64 player AAS, Then straight after the first round is finished, switch it to Al'Basrah 64 player Xtract...and so on so forth.
Or you can trick people into thinkin the map they are joining is just AAS buts its actually xtract hehe, ok might not work lol....
I miss playing Xtract
Edit : Loth i think there are a few xtract only servers, but they are never...populated

Basrah should be UK + Insurgent.

The airport completes the map, it's a must, bugger of 32 player maps!

i think the original post was just because the person doesnt like that map. personally, i like many of the other maps a lot more (ghost train is AWESOME). hoc is working on getting a server with all maps and all game types up in north america, because we can never find a good server in NA with any map besides basrah.
the map is fun, but i think the demand is there for other maps as well as the popular ones.
