The Road to Jalalabad
The American war machine has thundered over to the eastern border of Afghanistan in its continued battle against the MEC. Jalalabad dominates the entrances to the Laghman and Kunar valleys, and is the first stop for men and supplies streaming across the Pakistani border into Afghanistan. It’s a crucial training and logistical outpost of the MEC forces, who are holed up in the heart of the city awaiting an impending US onslaught with bated breath. This city is a strategic capture point and must be taken at any cost!

General Tactics
Only the second map added to BF2 since its official release, Jalalabad appeared with Patch 1.4 during the Summer of '06. The map itself is an entirely new city map added into the BF2 map collection, featuring long ranged , high tempo battles to start the round off which soon escalates into fierce street fighting. This map is comparable to Sharqi Peninsula in its amount of vehicles and that there is a huge advantage given to one team (namely, the USMC).
Burnt out buildings, crashed jets, rivers and many buildings which are accessable make this a fierce, close quarters map.
