The Nest is a map featured in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It pits the United States Marine Corps against the Middle Eastern Coalition.
Description[]
"This stronghold known as The Nest in MEC territory holds important anti-air weaponry and a communications center. Both US and MEC forces need to secure the area to gain control of the region. For the US forces, this would mean massive air superiority; and for the MEC forces, it is key to defending the region."
"It is possible that both sides will attempt to raise the bridges that lead to the central area and prevent the enemy from bringing across heavy attack vehicles."
Conquest[]
The Conquest version of The Nest focuses on gaining air superiority. The MEC can paradrop soldiers in with their Mi-24s, while the USMC have an M6 Linebacker as well as AH-64Ds to gain control. The unique ability to raise the bridges provides a strategic opportunity to help deny access to the central plateau.

2: Communications Outpost[]
The Communications Outpost is located at the norther part of the map. If either team cannot cross their bridge to the central plateau, they will have to pass through here to access it by ground.

3: The West Bridge[]
The West Bridge is the closest control point to the US Base. Under control by either team, it will spawn an HMMWV for the USMC or an Akrep for the MEC. If the MEC capture the base, they can manually raise the bridge to deny easy access for the USMC to the center of the map, forcing them to have to either fly in or take the canyon routes. The base also contains a KORD near the flag, looking towards the bridge, while two resupply crates can be found next to the flag. Players will spawn near the bridge and in the building where the flag is located.

The Mosaic Square is the center-most control point on the plateau. It does not spawn any vehicles but has a KORD overlooking the flag and a Stinger located on top of a building to the east of the flag. The area also has two sets of resupply crates; one near the flag, and the other in the group of buildings on the north side of the main road. Players will spawn in the buildings near the flag.
