Why Karkand...

Re: Why Karkand...

ive played mashtuur recently and found its better in every single way then karkand.

yes karkand is my most played map by a considerable amount, but now its turned into a claymore whore fest, generally lags in 24/7 true servers and is just about using the latest exploits.

You don't get any more points on an infantry only server so it can't be cheating

Yes you do, because on the infantry only servers there are no armor to keep you down, compared to the non-infantry only servers.

§1.8 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.

This would include but not limited to:

* § Knife-Pistol-Revive
* § Knife-Pistol only Servers
* § Knife only Servers
* § High Points Servers
* § Infantry only Servers
* § No Artillery or Armour Servers
* § Using Vehicles removed from battlefield for purposes of artificially inflating points
* § Turning boats upside down and repairing
* § Glitching inside buildings.
* § Modifying game files for vehicles and weapons.
* § Items not included in this list would be up to EA & DICE to interpret.

Re: Why Karkand...

Re: Why Karkand...

I have no idea why the hell they didn't support MORE infantry based maps on the expansions.

Well, I dunno about you.. but leviathan, Iron Gator and Mass destruction (plus Surge) all feel very karkandy to me, if you have a few dedicated AT to pop the tanks.

Failing that I have to disagree, if you can't find a use for a kit on any given level, then you aren't thinking hard enough. On the 64 player maps, theres typically 1 heavy vehicle per flag, and 1 or 2 opencabin light vehicles.

So seriously, a spec ops can lay the traps, an AT could pop tanks, a support (like me, 24/7 baybey) will typically choose freshly captured (or highly contested) flags for his mincemeat. Sniper is used for pinning enemy AT/spec ops, medic is a MUST, always a MUST. Assault has same uses as support.

It's not how big or wide you are hunny, it's how you use it.

Re: Why Karkand...

I atcually hate Shaqi.
Its a Infantry/small amount of armor map that awards to special people from each team to shoot fish in a barrel with the attack heli.
Even when AA is used as best it can a gunner on Sharqi can get well over 50 kills and under 10 deaths just by randomly spraying traffic areas.
Some rounds at Shaqi can be fun, but some and most become a slaughter fest for a gunner.

Heh I guy in my clan got over 200 points with 100 kills while gunning on that map. I was there, it was intense

Re: Why Karkand...

karkand is a good map, because its like iraq and people want that atm. Mashtuur is good but, as it isnt like kakrie, with dust and all that crap, its not that good!

We need another map like karkie, (NOT WARLORD) because kakrie is gettin a little boring. it needs a break! plus, i love flyin planes! so im on other maps now!

Re: Why Karkand...

Karkand is most popular because there is not the aircraft imbalance issue to deal with.

Re: Why Karkand...

peronally i feel that Karkland is too big. i like Wake island the best.

Re: Why Karkand...

takes to long to get as much action as in karkand if u were in a field map.

Re: Why Karkand...

Kark is fun because any kit can do well. There's no helo or jets that rape all and the armor can be dealt with easily by a capable team. You actually have a chance to use squad tactics and get somewhere, unlike other maps where you'll only be rewarded with 10 minutes of running then getting bombed/artied/raped by a tank in the open.
