Pfft, Omaha Beach and Coral Sea ftw.

I'll add you when I'm on my good computer. Game is awesome.

When I have the time, BF2 is still in my normal rotation of games. Haven't played 1942 in a long time, but I usually played the Desert Combat mod.

I hate wake island more than any other mp map for any game ever.

For which game though? I liked it in 1942, but in BF2 the jet imbalance is ridiculous.

heh, Wake was one of the only maps I liked in 1942.

US always, always loses.
Giant line of of morons for planes on the ship, and as soon as they take off they get shot down. also mortars.

The US can win in BF2 if there is any kind of structure to the command. It's not really hard to do. You just need to disable the Chinese arty and radar and make sure you get some Special Forces around the back of the island on boats so they can sabotage the Chinese air forces over and over. It'll be over in 5 minutes if you do this.

I've won as US plenty of times, but that was when I was running alongside a clan. Doesn't usually fare as well during random pickup games with strangers.

Yeah but see, 9 times out of ten everyone wants to be a badass jet pilot, so you get a line on the deck.
Then the chinese commander just keeps artying the deck, they set up on the shore to kill any boats, and they pick off choppers with jets.

Well yeah. It shocks you that in a squad based, command oriented shooter game that you can't accomplish anything without any kind of solidarity?

Playing ranked servers helps a tiny bit. Playing ranked servers that have hardass rules for this sort of thing helps a lot. When you have to follow the orders of your commander or you get kicked, you'll find that the people playing on the server all share a common thought process.

I never play on unranked servers, that's just asking for a ****ty time. The servers I play on almost always have a "no raping/arty on uncap" rule that's enforced by kick/ban
