Dragon Valley (Chinese:黄龙谷) is a map featured in Battlefield 2, Battlefield Play4Free, and Battlefield 4. It features the United States Marine Corps and the People's Liberation Army fighting for control over the valley.

Battlefield 2

Description

"Ancient legends of this “fairyland on earth,” tell of a yellow dragon that helped a king channel flood waters into the sea. Currently, American military forces are converging upon this idyllic valley, to secure a foothold in the Minshan mountain range. Elements of the US Marines are on the offensive in this sector, while the forces of the People’s Republic of China are called upon to defend ancient ancestral lands, in what promises to be a bitter engagement."

Overview

Dragon Valley is one of the more vehicle based maps. With the US carrier being a position for air support and the nearby harbor for ground deployment, battles on this map often end up with the American team making a long and grueling push up the valley while taking out the PLA's entrenchments. While the river and the winding dirt paths are ideal for vehicle and infantry assaults, they both move in the same direction, making direct confrontations with the enemy inevitable.

Commander Assets

USMC

In 64 player mode, the UAV and Radar stations are located by the Docks base, while the artillery can be found on the beachhead south of the USS Essex.

PLA

In 64 player mode, the UAV and Radar stations are situated within the Chinese airfield, while the artillery can be found not too far north of the airfield.
