Re: Karkand
If I'm US, I go as engineer and grab a tank or APC, if there's none around I go as support or Medic and sneak over to the factory and create a spawn point for my squad to attack.
If I'm MEC, I take am APC or tank as engineer and hold the hill in the alley to keep sneaky bastards like me from trying to get to the factory

Ok. I guess this could be labeled as a rant, but please, if the only thing you will do is hit reply and say "You're an idiot, grow up and get over it", then your reply is NOT needed. Thank you.
Anyway, I began playing BF2 in October/November 2005. I have a sheitty laptop, so I could only play at a Game Shack. Everytime I would go, I would find myself glued to BF2 - I would play almost no other games.
Of all the levels, I would focus most on Sharqi, Karkand and Wake. But deep down inside, I loved Karkand the most. Remember now, this was in the days where you could still jump and shoot (they seem so long ago).
After they released the first "bad" patch, I could no longer jump up and shoot over walls. I never bunny hopped. Never C4 chucked. Ever. But now I couldn't hit people above a little wall with my machine gun anymore becuase I couldn't jump. Oh well. Then came the PKM rape-ing. This made the map a sure pick for all whores. Great, but at least that got fixed.
Next came grenades. If a new game starts in Karkand, the first 5 minutes are lobbing grenades. Now I know this is a good source of kills....but it's all luck. And dumb luck, if you ask me.
Finaly, vehicles whores decided to make Karkand their primary home and I cannot grab a tank without getting Tked (this is no different with aircraft in any level, though) or I can't walk down half a street withtout seeing an enemy tank or APC.
And now on top of the massive pool of tanks, I find myself having to constantly run from tanks because the nerfed AT rocket can no longer do decent damage (unless you get 3-4 good solid shots on a tank without it noticing you.).
Well what does all this complaining mean? Does it all have a point, or am I just ranting on for no reason. Well, I do have a reason. I notice myself almost never playing Karkand anymore. I open up BF2 at the Game Shack...and I go straight to Sharqi. Im not feeling the Karkand vibe anymore. If your Mec, you are getting raped by the tanks and apc's from the US. If you are US, you are getting pwned just walking down ur little hill.
Im just wondering, has any of the things I mentioned effected you and yoru playing habits? As I stated, now I can barely stand Karkand anymore. How do you guys feel, and I apologize in advance if my post was long and meaningless
I just tend to type as I would talk.
