Seems like I'm one of the only but Tunis is definitely my kind of infantry map, along with Giarabub. Why ?
- They don't have open terrain, where the defenders just snipe the charging attackers. I really like to just charge with my Thompson fully loaded and try to storm a flag, hoping some mates are actually following me.
- Again, narrow paths and corridor, with buildings to clear is really what depicts true city fighting for me. I've spent entire rounds in Sidi HQ, loosing the flag, storming it, failing to take it, re-storm it, taking it and awaiting the counter-attack, etc...
For now, I'm not a big fan of Brest, but that's maybe because I'm not too fond of American weapons (I mostly play allied) when it comes to infantry fighting and that the PIV breaks a bit of this "infantry fighting house by house".
- As I said for Brest, no tanks. While hunting them is really rewarding, something like Ramelle is just....well no. I don't like it. A well positioned tank can ruin the round if you can't destroy it at all, and don't even think of approaching it.
- Grenade, limited but there. Unless that you're suicidal, a grenade is needed for clearing, or at least be sure that the house you'll enter, or the street you will take is not filled with 10+ guys just waiting to put a bullet between your eyes as soon as you appear at the corner.
- Fighting on two or three levels is really cool, like Sidi or FoT.
On a general note, maps that portray battles like PHL or PdH are really enjoyable too as pure infantry maps but fall in another category for me, infantry map but with open terrain.
