why do so many BF2ers like Wake Island & Kubra Dam maps?

kubra is my favorite. there are so many obscure places you can cap the flags, that it makes it more of a challenge to hold your own. lots of action I guess.
 
Wake Island map is too predictable, and maybe thats what makes it attractive. Kubra Dam...don't care for it much. I only play when I have time, which now days seems like never, but wake is always a fun map to play depending on the server.

I absolutely hate clean sweep. the air has too much domination in that map.
 
Kubra is an amazing map because a lot of things can happen in it. Theres tons of AA, tons of air vehicles, tons of tanks, and some really awesome bases. It's really a map with a little bit for everyone.

Wake Island has a lot of fame from BF1942, unfortunately it just didn't make the transition very well. The best part of the original map is that you could drive and man the ship vessels. Plus the US had more than 1 ship and the coastal batteries were functional. I believe it was a battleship and an aircraft carrier. Plus the planes were slower so they didn't dominate the map so goddamned badly as they do in BF2.
 
I've had fun a couple times on Kubra, but for the most part, it's not my favorite. Karkand, Sharqi, and Mashtuur are all good. Personally, though, I like the SF maps better. Less armor. I enjoy the ground-pounding aspect of the game and the SF maps allow for that a lot more.

Yup. If they ever fix the AA in this game then it would be interesting though.

AA works exactly the same as air-air missles. If you know how to take out people with a plane you can do it on the ground. The problem isn't with AA it's with plane speed and helo durability vs AA. Sometimes you can shoot more than 6 missles at a transport helo and not take it down, that's with timing the flares. Thank god the planes only take 2.

My fav. maps are Karkand, Sharqi and Wake.

in other words, if the target aircraft continues to pull 90 degree bank turns you will always miss.
 
Personally I like them because there is dual aircraft, great sniping spots, and they play very quickly turnover wise regarding flags, I dont get bored like on the wetlands etc.
 
I hate kubra..but i like wake island for dog fighting...I actually like Operation Clean sweep the best because I bomb the fvck out of those little bastards

Pretty much. In the air it's a bit different, you can still nail someone doing circles in the J-10 with the afterburner going. 😉
