well bf2 has some wide open maps too... but you can also get up to 64 people in a single server... so there's plenty of action... it suits everyone, youc an be the lone wolf sniper scouting around taking people out, or you can pick spawn points that both teams are currently fighting for (you'll see masses of people fighting over one point all the time... it can get pretty intense)

as for my fav maps... on regular bf2, sharqi, dragon valley, karkrand's ok... kubra dam is probably my fav tho...

on DCON, lost village or outskirts of mosul...
