============================
The territories you constantly engage throughout the game are called maps.
Battlefield 2 comes with a flurry of maps ranging from rural areas, coastal
sweeps, isolated islands, and desert settings to provide a partially universal
setting. The recent patch added Wake Island as one new map to the default
bunch. This section will cover the various maps, with some key strategies to
try.

   NOTE: All maps will be based off of the assumed 64-player versions.

__________________________________/ DALIAN PLANT \____________________________

> Conflict: USA vs. China
> Rating: ***
> Description: "Dalian Plant is practically a nuclear plant facility near the
		coast of China. The U.S. are attempting to take over the area
		for control of the power grid for a majority of northern
		China."

:> Key Bases (USA):

   - Holding the two south bases right on the beachline are crucial to success
   on this one. The middle beach base will spawn an additional attack
   helicopter for your team, along with a tank. You'll also receive another
   tank if you get the point to the south of this. Control these two points,
   and resistance should not be that tough with armor & air superiority. If
   anything, pound all you got on the central Chinese base to the left, as this
   is where they will get their 2nd helicopter.

:> Key Bases (China):

   - Holding the central base closest to your non-cap spawn is essential, as
   you'll get a boost with another attack helo. Make use of the fast moving
   transport vehicles to race to the surrounding points. You'll have a tough
   time defending the flanks, especially the beachline where Blackhawks, boats,
   and enemy jets will approach. It's nice to grab the south beach point, but
   is extremely difficult due to artillery strikes.

- The problem with this map is that it can go lopsided for either team. A
majority of the time, you'll find the Chinese to be the strong team at hand,
simply because they have ground control thanks to their local base. Americans
have to race across a few hundreds meters of ocean water before they can reach
the shoreline. If the Chinese can rush and hold all points, it's practically
impossible to breach any area. If you find yourself getting pinched in as the
Chinese, try to take a transport helo from your main base, and sneak it behind
to the north beach point. This is often unguarded.

:> Sniper Spots

   - If you find yourself getting stuffed in by the Americans, get on the
   mountain to the right of your main spawn, and snipe down on the Americans
   closest to you. There are 2-3 cranes on this map and cylinders you can use
   for height advantages. Unfortunately, this is an armor-dominant map, so
   you'll find few infantry targets unless a team is down to their last capture
   point. Try sniping pilots who try to fly away with an abandoned helicopter.
