I'm not a big fan of the snow. Wake Island (located in the Pacific) would be too far south to receive snow and ice. In fact Wake Island would more than likely be far different because of lowered water levels.

In terms of gameplay: Wake was a jet plays dream. The VTOLs in 2142 just don't work out well for that kind of map.

Recon + 4x zoom = Sniper whoring map.

(Bring it on!)

[Jblankster]

idc i think it would be great

[Mongo Only Pawn]

No. No. No. No. No. No.

Say NO to Wake Island!

[vbl]

**** Wake Island.

[MachineMadness]

that looks deadly.


that bulidng was mad, but i dont think a bulidng that tall could go there as the soil isnt suitable enough for it, it would plow into the ocean.

but it still looks awsome, want to DL :)

[Snuffy The Evil]

Hmmm.....

A new Wake Island without all of that air power would rock, but I don't like the look of the one in the video.

For one, yes, it's too far south to be getting snow.

I think it should look colder, with storm clouds & what not, but no snow.

Just greener. :)

Good looking map, though.

[therealmat]

No we dont need Wake Island again, it was an air whore map......

errr....you DO realize that in 2142 they are having an ICE AGE right? Of course it would have snow then.

Looks barren to me though.......too empty....needs more on the island.

[Merlin]

There are far better maps than wake out there to bering to 2142 IMO.

[Deesies]

It would be a pretty good map with titans and stuff. It just wouldn't make sense as far as the story goes.

Just because its an ice age doesn't mean the ENTIRE world is covered in ice. The equator area would still remain temperate with no snow. Wake is loacted in the Pacific it is to far south.

This map shows where ice would be after several HUNDRED years (picture is from the last ice age, a smaller one). The ice age in 2142 would have been going on for about 20 years. Not to mention with so much water trapped in ice, the lagoon that is in the interior would be dry. Granted this map doesn't show where snow and ice already is (Siberia).

[Jblankster]

uhhh dude wrong ice age

[Arid]

Ahh i love how people hate wake island or even the mere suggestion of it


but you dont have to worry because EA would never give it to us for free

[FlamingPenguin]

why not they already did it once in bf2 why not twice???

[Chasepwner]

I really don't see why everyone is hating wake... maybe they were traumatized in BF2 and 1942 when jets/planes strafed them endlessly when their team was noob enough to only hold one flag... that won't happen in 2142 because the gunships are pre-nerfed. I support Wake 2142.

[evolvtYon]

OKay.. I think its' time to stop. First of all they've ( EA\Dice ) said that there will not be a wake version on 2142.

Secondly we're in a Ice Age and that island just happened to be overrun by tons of ice. Equator is the way to go..

[Chewy_Solo]

i want it :cry:

[St.Sasquatch]

so... exactly where do you find wake island north europe?

[Jacky]

Stop whining about the story dammit. From now on wake island is in russia :mad:

[evolvtYon]

so... exactly where do you find wake island north europe?

I recomend google earth.

[St.Sasquatch]

I recomend google earth.

um.. thank you but its still not in north europe.... if you want to see it yourself try search it up, or look directly west of Hawaii..;)

oh and i already knew that.

[Kraxis]

Of course Wake would not be snowed over at all.
Chances are it would be a nice round, green island with a lot more rain.

Ice ages were no global in that ice were everywhere, in terms of landmass the Earth didn't suffer much reduction since so much seabed was exposed, and snow might have fallen in northern Africa in winter but not much more than what happens in Israel now and then (mountains excluded of course, I'm speaking of lowlands).

On topic agian:
Wake for 2142 would be nice. The gunships would have a very hard time given how low and open the island is, but that could be cleaned up by having a single AA gun in the main base. Or something like that.

Then the gunship would be fun and effective yet not Jet'esque at all. Tanks would of course pwn, however the Neko would not have the major advantage it has now (unless the lagoon would be landmass). Snipers would be aplenty of course, but so would engies and Assaults I think. Supports would likely not be very much around.
But when it came to BF2 Wake wasn't it already very much a snipermap if you could hide from the J10? I used it effectively yet never felt I was one of the many (snipers).

I would say if we could dump all the rational objections to the island as it was in the previous games, thne I think it could be a fun map. Not that it will happen.

In the game intro the ice is much farther down, but the water around the island would dry up, more like almost all the ocean would dry up most likely.

The wake island idea is great, just remove that random big building. keep it up Sir.

[RDST]

Kraxis brought up a good point, a single Anti-Air emplacement would completely dominate the surrounding area. I still don't like the idea though.

[Jblankster]

well when is sir gonna release it cuz I WANT TO PLAY IT!

[Chasepwner]

well when is sir gonna release it cuz I WANT TO PLAY IT!

Even if Sir. release it, it wouldn't be played much because it isn't ranked. Sadly, this is another reason why stats tracking is bad, it killed community-made maps.

That's pretty much it. BF2 ruined the goodness that was wake.

Even in 42 it wasn't as bad considering you could sail the carrier and the warship around the map or even beach the things on the actual island :P

ps. BF2142 will be the 4th battlefield game to receive the map, wake island in some form or another.

pps. Before it comes official, I'd prefer it be included in a full expansion pack. Having euros all the way over there just wouldn't make sense =/

[spork32983475938]

umm ok guys..listen up lol

look at the replys on the movie page...

it tells the story already..

the author that sumbited the video said this map will be released probably with some map pack..


it looks like finally someone who loves wake, made us something awsome i ben waiting for this forever,

i cant wait to play this on lan with the guys from work personally..

if you dont like wake dont play battlefield thats my suggustion...


you ben owned :P

[MandoAdenn]

uhhh dude wrong ice age

History tends to repeat itself.

[RYKUU]

wake island i think has been a disaster from the start

[Jblankster]

i love wake its fun

[Chasepwner]

I still fail to see why people don't like the idea for Wake in 2142.

[I am RKO]

Ahh i love how people hate wake island or even the mere suggestion of it


but you dont have to worry because EA would never give it to us for free

No. they're not giving it us at all. It's not gunna be done by EA. The Sir. Community to the rescue again. :p

[GunHappyBob]

wake 2142 would be fun. who cares about logistics or if it would be under water. It's a fun map to play on. I think it's the only map on bf2 where when you were the US team and won, you really won.

[Jblankster]

yea, A NOTHER QUALITY MAP BY SIR.!

[spork32983475938]

any chance someone has the website where this will be released at?

[ColonelPanic]

Wake Island needs to die a slow and painful death.

[ColonelPanic]

errr....you DO realize that in 2142 they are having an ICE AGE right? Of course it would have snow then.

Looks barren to me though.......too empty....needs more on the island.

That far south may not have snow on it but it would be very dry (therefore not so green anymore) because of an approaching ice age.

[ColonelPanic]

if you dont like wake dont play battlefield thats my suggustion...


Oh, ya. That makes sense because wake is the only map in the BF franchise.

That's as logical as saying if you can't spell in english, don't write in it.

[Chasepwner]

How bout this... don't play wake if it comes out. It's as logical as saying if you can't spell a certain word then don't spell it.

[Buttoneer]

I can't see how the EU would end up fighting over Wake anyway. Leave it for the Pan-Am v USA expansion pack, if at all.

[Tuner111]

wake rocks. SIR Dark Master Rocks

[Jblankster]

yea!!!
