BF2 New Map - Highway Tampa

Looks like the new map Highway Tampa is officially out. Described as:

The idea was obviously to bring back the big tank battles of 1942. It's not just about creating lots of wide open space and sticking in plenty of tanks though. Making sure you have a rolling landscape lets tanks take cover behind hills and hide in ridges so I spent a lot of time making sure the map had those features. I also wanted to limit the number of air vehicles so the focus could remain on the tanks. That's the reason there is no attack helicopter, it would adversely affect the intended balance of the map.

The draw distance is pretty high so you can have these long range tank fights. It's worth mentioning that it isn't any shorter than other tank maps, just that it's dusty yellow rather than sky coloured which might make it seem closer than usual when it actually isn't.

Anyone had a chance to check it out? How is it?

even with the few air vechs, they rape everything. Your more likely to die to a jet in a tank then to another tank

And what was with all the intel ads?

A big wide open map and again the planes just take away from the fun. Also to many fast movers around. The C4 cars are out in force, look for a jet and here comes the C4 car.
