Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

[imported_Remmydox]

I believe that the Suburb is the easiest base to take as USMC. You will encounter a whole 1 guy max there. You never see a squad holding there. I always go Spec Op and run around near the backroad. (You know when they take the car around the back way?) I put 2 C4 so the car cant get around I then just sit up on the hill just before i go out of bounds, then when they come up on the hell you pick them off :p and when a Vodnik/APC comes around you blow. Pretty good strategie but is it worth it? Sometimes I sit there the whole round and only kill like 3 guys :cry:

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

hm... i think its quite a good flag on the map, its just quite far away from the action tho =p

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

If USMC take Suburb, they will go down and take all the back bases and if they have acouple guys. Its pointless they take the flag in awhole 3 seconds or somehting. So gay. Only way to sve yourself is throw a mine but im sure you will some how end up teamkilling and lose 4 well earned points.

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

Good tactic but I guess u gotta decide on a round by round basis. Sometimes the traffic will be heavy and others it'll be little or none. I think it's all up to you and how willing you are to wait for action. It is appreciated by your team though....especially the commander.

Yeah I know its appretiated, the thing is though im trying to get my SPM up. I want them to come in full apc/vodniks so I can get tons of points but my time goes up and I get no score

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

well what i do is claymore the flag, and run off to snipe, i usually get 3 or 4 kills w/in the first 10 min of the round

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

Indeed it is, but most players can't be bothered about the game and play for points. It's a great strategic movie, I know when I'm commander there, The little breakway near the suburb where USMC access from is where I put claymores. That route is also an access route for going to the USMC main base to destroy assests..

If you're trying to get your SPM up then just forget about doing that. The action is all at the hotel....where u can get many frags and people need health, revives, repairs & ammo. It would be better to let them get it and counter attack to get it back.

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

Thanks guys :) When my SPM (score per minute) Goes up alittle more ill go defend it so that if noone comes my SPM stays what it is now (Cause it will go down from what I made it go up too)

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

They're all "worth" having, but as far as game importance it's a fairly valuable flag...much more than Hotel, TONS less than ANY rear flag.

And I admittedly care about my stats, but SPM is not one of them...

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

I quite often play as a back player in Karkand. However if you can stick up a seriously strong Hotel presence, you can prevent the people getting past you into Suburb.

However this doesn't always catch all of the badguys. I do very so often go defend as an AT, either on Cement factory or on Suburb. The SRAW means you can pick off the vehicles, and you can also "snipe" the bad soldiers. The bonus is the PP-19 is a decent self defence weapon, and can be used offensively.

Generally the vehicles should be damaged by the time they get through hotel, so you can defeat them yourself.

However as I'm a kill whore, I like to be in the thick of things. The spawn raping that goes on at Hotel annoys me. I generally spawn at Square and move forwards.

However what gets my goat is when there are 100000 troops all fighting over the same 2" of land at hotel, and the badguys are merrily mopping up your back bases. And I'm generally running around going "Requesting backup!!!!!"

Completely untrue. I can take an APC or a tank down the far east corridor straight to the gatehouse, or any other flag I please. Your Hotel defense is pretty well irrelevant. Nevermind the west corridor, which is slightly more well known but still often undefended.

Hotel is the least valuable CP on the map.

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

Hotel is the least valuable I agree, but thats where the action takes place.

Until another flag gets captured.

Re: Karkand - Suburb worth holding?

The worst thing though, is spawn campers at the hotel. Its easy to get away but its depressing. So many noobs dont get out of the way and get shot down
