I would say there are great tank/jeep maps like Foy. Barbarossa is so huge, you almost need a vehicle just to get around. I got sick of it when I'd spend alot of time moving towards the battle and then get wiped out by a tank or the spawn rapage was pretty much the map entirety... just a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, had some good times too.

What i like about high intensity tdm maps like Cassino [today I scored 126-57, but we lost sad.gif ] is thinking fast in constantly volatile situations which hones skills for base rushes and village warfare on Barby map. Barby map though huge should be looked at in a different light. If you look at it as just going from A to B you'll miss the beauty of the map. The terrain of Barby requires finding a general opposing team's weakness in a certain sector for you to exploit.

Spawn rampage comes about if the team you are on falters by neglecting defence. Thinking stealthily pretty much drastically negates getting wiped out by a tank while moving in battle. If you are a tanker constantly checking all around you rather rushing ahead past blindspots negate the chances of partypooper rocketeers like me shooting the tank in the rear and into oblivion.

You can also spend a good portion of the fight defending a threatened base seeing alot of action without the necessity of feeling like you need to move forward. What horrifies me is seeing a team rush take out the crucial first base to plan, but seeing the enemy is using the same tactic and pummeling your own crucial base- its then the savvy player realises both teams are playing no defence - the team who decides to rush back and save one base will win.... but drunk with success of quick base elimination no one attacking cares to go back to defend.

So, what I'm saying is Barby is complex and needs to be seen as a progression of tactics/decisions rather than seeking instant/consistent action. To me, definately not a waste of time. What might help you is staying in cover a little bit and scoping out the area first where you intend to move over and take a path where you can run for cover should danger arise.
