Goodbye Kark...

Re: Goodbye Kark...

Have a look at the top 10 players on bf2s. Check out their time on Karkand. Most of them spend ten times more time playing Karkand than any other map. Only two of them don't play it more than any other map and for those it's their second most played.

That pretty well says it all. Some people love it because it's a fun map (me included) but to most it appears to be nothing more than a ranking system.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

i used to hate karkand, cause no one would ever try to take any flags, but now i love it since i have given up on flag taking and started clay whoring at the hotel flag. fun times now.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

dude i was playing at straferight server and i havnt seen the mec win one damn map in soooo long. Its like its rigged for the USMC to always win. Even when we held them to no flags but there own spawn and had there armor in total check we still lost. The only things peeps wanna do is grenade spam and load 30 snipers on 1 hill besides the massive armor whoring that goes on at the mec hotel. When i see a sniper do a roll prone and 1 shot kills me after i pumped him full of lead its just sad that peeps have to dig to the exploit to beat you in a 1vs1.

The map is just one big cluster F*** of camping nubbys, yeah yeah u can spawn at the square or suburb but who the F wants to walk all the way back to the carnage.

Idea's to stop armor whoring.

*Increase AT attack power to the point that the tank is beeping
*Common sense say go 5 AT's cause everybody knows that the hotel is gonna get camped hard.

Common sense would tell you to spawn back a bit and move in towards the area of hostility. There are vehicle drops you know if you feel that walking 15 seconds in game is far too much to handle. You also mioght want to try and play on a different server if you are always losing on your favorite one.

As for stopping "armor whoring", it will not be happening any time soon, If someone has extensive time in a vehicle, jet, tank, or apc and they are good with it it's not whoring.
EA does not ned to make the AT stronger, they need to make the rockets stop going through every other object when whot within a 40m radius. Too bad EA cant patch brains.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I like Karkand because it is the best map for pimpin the single pump. :)

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I would like to see the top guy jump in a jet against me

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I do like karkand, but it would be a lot better without the tanks and the noobish players there. It sucks when a tank has like 5 crates and 2 repair vehicles around it, making it invincible to AT rockets, and kills everybody. But I like how its crowded, it makes it really easy to find enemies.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I still like Karkand, main reason... I don't know, it's just fun (exempt for those super-medics and the guys under the hotel).

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I actually like Karkand as a map in of itself, but yeah, it's majorly abused and exploited..

Have to agree here. I keep on playing it tho
You only need to know a few good servers, then its an awesome map :p

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I'm hopeing now that you are no longer playing karkand we wont have to hear your whiney-ass threads about getting pwned by medics and armor.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

I dont like karkand anymore, and im starting to play less on City maps and wake. Start to focus on other maps in the game, like Zatar, FuSHee, Dragon Valley, and others. I started playing the non-popular maps, and the vehicle whoring is not so bad as expected. For once I see a parked J-10 for more than 2 mins. People in there have their combat level medium-high, Not much new guys, or very expert that is an ace at something. If you still dont like it, get a mod, NAW mod is an awesome mod and i reccomend it.

Re: Goodbye Kark...

Rofl funny that because I left Kark a few months back, went in yesterday to see if any improvements, and nope its worse, the following happened within 10 minutes:

.Grenade spam
.Had to Swim thru medic and support bags
.Got dived on by 30 people to revive me
.Spawn raping outside the side of the alleyway
.Bunny hoppers to grenade launching
.That weird movement thing

Re: Goodbye Kark...

meh its the only map I play pretty much I don't enjoy the layout of any of the others wish they had more battlefield 1942 style maps like operation harvest

Re: Goodbye Kark...

Karkand demonstrates the worst in people in a way no other map does
Gamesmanship, exploiting, cheating, glitching, spamming, nading - it's been dead for me since the beginning - I wish I still had my ABK avatar
Not to mention that it's a bad map - linear, unbalanced, reduced to the lowest common demoninator of infantry only almost because no one who plays can even deal with the few combat vehicles that are on the map. If you seriously believe that playing on foot in Karkand requires more skill than Fushe or Dalian for example you are certifiable. It's just so....cheap.
