With vehicles or no vehicles?

Personally I loved how you could always push the west flank as USA and guarantee getting up to the Hotel or suburbs flag, because shitters wanting to stat pad stuck by the southern flag getting farmed by artillery and tanks.

>>381411808
I remember a guy "killerfreak" or something like that. He was my nemesis on a server I frequented

>>381411876
I was always an inf only kind of guy. I'd play vehicles on maps with jets, like wake 2007

>>381411971

jesus christ, were you a j10 baby? I loved shooting those niggers down with manned AA before the devs stupidly nerfed AA in to being useless.

>>381411726

Never could understand why people liked this stupid map

>great wall with the FAMAS

awwww yeeh

I do too, Anon. I do too

>>381411726

2003 was a fucking glorious time to be alive, anon.

I miss it too.

>>381412429
No jets famalam, once we got IO servers then there was no tanks or heli's to worry about either.

I actually think BF2 got robbed of something special when IO launched, all because of AA nerfs making jets completely overpowered. I remember seeing one phaggot go 110/0 with a F25 one game because legit nothing could shoot him down, not even dedicated AA tanks like what I used to drive a lot, and I have a 40/1 KDR with AA so I know my shit bro, for real.

You can still play BF2 and 2142.

>>381411726
Best maps were the armoured DLC maps that took place in USA.

Sadly because it was paid DLC not that many played it. Those 2 (not alaska) were top tier maps.

>>381412429
It was the only launch map that didn't have any air vehicles.

Oh how I loved camping the MEC spawn at the first point with the Abrams and all those bitches would complain about it instead of spawning with AT at the second point.

By the way Sharqi Peninsula was the best map.

>>381412103
OP here, I actually preferred the M16 and AK 101 but I thought posting the g36e would be more relatable

>>381412429

It was the best map to grind those weapon unlocks. Also one of the few maps with really heavy emphasis on infantry combat.

The El Al of BF2

>>381412667
>>381412794
>playing bf2 with vehicles turned on at all
>playing to be background fodder for immortal airfags/tankfags
BF2 was the absolute worst with its whole combined warfare gimmick
Infantry only servers were the only saving point, and even then, horrible net code was real annoying

Fun facts, Sharqi, Karkand and Mashtuur was designed by the same guy.

>>381412747

>You will never get a project reality 2 or forgotten hope 3 in frostbite because DICE are complete Jews.

PC gaming used to be so much more glorious. Now these fag jew companies ax modding left and right to sell their relative horse armor, turning pc into just another standardized platform.

At least I will have the glory days of 1942, vietnam, and 2 to remember.

The map was meh AF. Honestly, other than AF dlc, I did not care much for any of the DLC maps.

They all kind of sucked (except AF)

>>381412989
Spec ops and AT can take tanks down no problem. You're just terrible

>>381413051

Now you pay for patches.

>>381413051
There was always one faggot who would clip inside of the rocks on that map. I loved sneaking around the back and capping the rear flag.

>>381413127
remember the last patch map they released? Highway tampa or whatever? Just a giant desert lol

>>381412993
>all guns were unlockable by rank
Except half the unlockable guns that was locked behind Special Forces

>>381412989
Mate it took 3 AT missiles from either faction to kill a tank, if you were unable to coordinate an actual alpha strike on a tank with your squad then I don't know what to say. Jihad Jeep was another time honored strat that worked magic.

Considering most maps had max 2 tanks they really weren't that overbearing compared to the helicopters or jets that could 1h1k them. Don't forget APCs also had tow missiles as well.

Oh look. I guess there were plenty of counters and you were shitter after all.

>>381413191
It was alright for what it was meant to be. Large scale vehicle warefare with long range engagements. Backed up by sneaky helicopter drops, apc drops into hardpoints that could be defend from tanks.

>>381413127

Blizzard recently added a free map for Overwatch. Maybe that trend is coming back? Call of Duty 4 was the last came I remember having free map patches before Overwatch.

>>381413003
BF3 has mods

>>381413127
Considering how much DICE Canada fucked up the games patch after patch they had to do something. The free map was basically the Mass Effect 3 ending DLC, something they threw out just to make people stop bitching.

>>381413191
Used to market BF2142

>>381413126
Haha, I guess you never played on proper servers, where two tanks stack on an overlooking choke and commander drops s crate on them, so they basically have x4 self repair.
To kill them with at you have to
1. have at least 4 at guys shooting at the same time
2. Have line of sight on them from different positions so they don't blow you out instantly
3. Not getting blown out by the other 30 people on the enemy team
4. Pray their commander is horrible and won't spot you forever so you could never hide or sneak up or car bomb

Highway Tampa was fun.

The last map they added was actually Operation Blue Pearl. It was so-so.

>>381413326
>map

maps

Also they later threw in some of the DLC maps in patches.

Also they were cool with total conversion mods back then so you could just play PR or FH2 if you had too many problems.

>>381413290
it reminds of that meme map from bf3 "the biggest map in battlefield history"

>no one plays it

you almost need coordinated teams and intentions for playing those maps - like you said, they can be fun for long range vehicular combat... but we all know that on normal online servers that type of gameplay degrades rather quickly

people used to actually squad up and talk in BF2.

Not sure what happened. I think the next generation of kids are too autistic and short on attention to work together.

You're right. I was part of that group. My brother and I would always be in a squad and just talk with whoever joined... those times were some of the best times in gaming I've had. Sort of an ARMA-lite. It was awesome for 12 year old me

I always preferred 2142.

2 had terrible netcode, the vehicles were overpowered, and gunplay inferior. Not to say I didn't love it as well but I always preferred 2142.

why don't play on those battlefield 2 revive server then? only downside it's that 90% of the people playing have all the unlocks so it's kind of clutch to get them from zero when everyone is rambo

>>381413158
Either that or suicide runs in a buggy covered in C4 to fuck over the armor inevitably sticking around the main road, then making a mad dash for a building with a ladder. Peeking over the side, spamming Q to spot enemy faggots to help your CO... So good.

>>381413563
>>381413693
Yeah because it was advantageous to have a mic and talk. Same as competitive mode for CSGO if you enter without a mic you're essentially a detriment to your own team.

COD4 spelled the doom of fps because it let any kid with the highest ROF gun get kills with airstrikes. It cheapened gameplay but the kids thought it was awesome because they were fed big numbers.

Eat my ass ea.

>>381413563
In BF2 it's really easy to make a squad of people who want to coordinate and stick with them.

In modern BF you get small randomly assigned squads with randomly assigned leaders and because the number of squads is fixed you can't do shit.

I can still remember my clan's strategies for both attack and defence
