I enjoy it as well, and I think its one of the best made maps in PR. There are some gameplay issues though, and certain flag layouts can make it very boring.

I've seen it empty the RT servers a couple of times, so that kind of problem is probably the reason that a few servers don't run it very often.

What I find amusing is that half the people say "the Chinese always win" and half say "the USMC always win"

Well about barracuda it's fine and playable if there are admins on the server, luv to play it on UKWF.
Quinling I'd pass on that one, played it on PRT on C7, it was the most boring games EVER, I'm not talking about PUB, where this is not so interesting, without CO and communication with pilots, that just crash assets into nothing because infantry doesn't know how to lase, tanks are wasted as well, every couple that joins the server takes the tank or APC, and map ends of non stop traveling from A1 to H8, without infantry, and dunno why, transport choppers still crash, where are they flying if there is no infantry?

So on pub it's pretty much hopeless and twice boring w8ing until one team wastes 600 tickets.

My opinion is that if the US can cooperate and is far and notably superior to the Chinese, they have a good chance of winning, but that the Chinese can win even if they are slightly inferior to the US in cooperation and tactics.

Then again, I also believe that the US' pilots are your first indication to how the game will play out. If they are on deck more often than they are in the air, then the US is screwed

the only way to win as China is to defend areas where you can hide from teh CAS.

so random flag arrangements do indeed decide the outcome imo.

It's an ok map, but if the PLA team has sufficient skill at bringing choppers down, the US team will have a VERY hard time of it.
