Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

I think Karkand itself has more problems than the weapons ever did and it has yet to see any tweaks. Putting the player spawners in sensible locations (Not in direct view of tanks) helps a **** load.

Never thought about that, but changing the spawn locations on kark could make a dramatic difference, but that will never change.

i dont think it matters where you spawn....

if the area is in contention there's allways a possibiliy someone is behind you in an apc.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

What I should have said is "infantry based nerfs" sorry.
And yes Karkand is the testing grounds for infantry I suppose.
And yeah I mis-stated that the PKM is sub-par, just meant it went from godly to an equal plain with other guns..I can honestly voice an opinion on the PKM..considering I have 11k kills with it as opposed to my second weapon a carbine having only 2k kills...trsut me, I knwo everythign there is to knwo about the LMG/PKM.

And yes I am a true Karkand junkie, yep 50% of my 700ish hours are there.
But like I stated before, Karkand is a great warm up map after a days work, and alot of the times its the only maps that are populated..so being forced to play Karkand is usual. But more and more I hate Karkland. Ive played so much Karkand Im almost burnt out of BF2 it self.

I do find it odd that a mass majority or BF2 players crave urban maps like Karkand...yet we never get urban maps with are explansions..I guess Spec Forces exp. counts, but it seems no one plays it, or its just a hassel to pick a Spec map cause it cant be played in BF2 map rotation and a few other issues.

PKM STILL is the best gun (all around) in game, except it's a little weak at close range.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

have you considered that karkand is by default THE best map?

great for new players great for mid range (i'm new to midrange) and great for old timers like blazin.......

I'm sure if you play any game more than 50 hours you will join a forum and eventually end up moaning like an old woman if you get my meaning.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

Nerf: (verb);
tweaked down, less effective, changed to be less powerful (in our case)

PKM,

Warlord could be characterized as the ''Karkand' of SF but there are so many differences that it really doesn't hold up.

Face it , Karkand a point ho/badge seeker paradise , but the lack of air assets IMO really makes it attractive to noob and veteran alike.

Nerfs are caused by whiners, period.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

I think it comes from people whining on this forum and other forums where you the guy that was whineing about the medic gun being over powerd the other day? :laugh:

[QUOTE='seeker'[uk]its the best map to learn infantry is it not?[QUOTE]

It's the best for close up combat and constant choke points, so yeah its the best for that reason for highlighting nerf spots. You certainly wont be a well rounded infanty player if you play it all the time.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

I guess Im the only one who fully agrees with the topicstarted. Yes, we can all blame Karkand.

......Then someone moaned about having to drive their tank/APC all the way from the factory to the hotel. And thats how the commander get the power to spawn vehicles. - Im too happy that there is guns in theis game, cos God, it makes me wanna shoot people.

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

I really don't understand all the karkland flaming..

Has anyone thought that alot of people play it because its one of the best maps? Where you can fight infantry to infantry properly without getting the planes buzzing all around..

Who cares if people stat whore there, thats their prerogative, and I'll probably be called a stat whore because I play karkland more than anything, but I'm not I just like the close quarters ground pounding mayhem thank you :)

Re: Is Karkand responsible for all the nerfs.

90% of the community plays Karkand more then any other map

This statement says 2 things to me about why it's the most played.
1) The majority of the population loves the infantry map.
Has always been the case for BF'ers.
2) There is a major imbalance in map design.
The fact that points are accumulated easiest on Karkand shows an inherent imbalance in the game itself.
IMO there shouldn't be a point slope to that degree when comparing maps.
