Does anyone at all enjoy desert maps?

[Holo]

So boring, just doing nothing for 20 minutes in a row.

[Risotto]

Most of them are vehicle maps and walking simulator for everyone else.

Doesnt help that everyone uses the APC for anything other than carrying troops around.

Talil is the only map where playing as infantry is regularly insufferable. It's nearly impossible to play without vehicles. At least the forest maps will have a few trees to hid behind when you are forced to walk halfway across the map.

I personally find talil fun as infantry. Kohat on the other hand...

Talil can be fun and it's not easy sailing for vehicles. With so much open space they become just as much targets than the infantry, tanks and tows taking care of that.

The desert maps just provide another element to the tactics on how to we move from C to D across such open ground. Do we advance or do we dig in? Not every battle is about or has to be about pushing and advancing.

It also doesn't help that for some reason there's tons of servers who ban Mech Inf lol

Tali is a great map but many people hate it due to the fact that its not an easy map to play due to lack of cover and unique tactics you have to employ in order to take out enemy armor

there is one map i leave instantly. with these big hangars in the desert. its the worst looking map. and yea , the desert maps are not fun, and not that beatiful.
the best ones are with woods, snow, and so on

Ice desert. Never forget Nanisivik. That map along with OPFL/Forest were absolutely perfect. In fact, both were so good they actually had to remove them from the game because they made everything else look mediocre.

Don't get me wrong, I usually do too. Its just the only map that I commonly play and end up in situations I can't do much about.

Its really a difference playing AAS on causal server, where both teams are spending assets and tickets uselessly and brainlessly between the bunkers, or play Invasion with experienced players, where is huge difference fighting on the open desert among vehicles, or intense combat in the streests of the town.

Yet i have to tell it again. Most players dont understand the ticket system and letting enemy bleed in the prepaired defense strong point. Quiet opposite you can see 2 full tracks rushing first enemy objective on the beginning of the round and losing so 20-40 tickets + radio...

I enjoy the old maps because the new ones are a lag fest.

Don't like Talil too big too open too sandy too boring

Probably some of my favorite maps are the desert ones.

These maps really favor the team that makes full coordination at the SL level of the "combined arms concept". Which if you don't have that going on your team, I can see how they may appear boring to the basic riflemen.

It is also one of the maps where aggression and/or super fobbing are both viable strategies.

If any match in squad is a walking simulator, your team is trash.

Fallujah, Basrah, and Mutaha are my top 3 picks for best maps.
