Karkand

Re: Karkand

Karkand is my fave map. I like it so much because i prefer urban maps and it's mainly infantry, i cant stand aircraft maps. Admittedly the Armour is unbalanced, i'd rather it was infantry + jeeps only. When you have competent teams Karkand is an amazing map to play on.

I was just wondering why do people like Karkand so much? Everytime I play it, it gets a little worse. Most of the people who play don't even know there are more flags beyond the hotel. Their strategy is rush hotel, die, respawn, over and over. The armor is unbalanced. Might as well be called raping turrets. The MEC tanks/apcs come down the one street to the left(from prepective of USMC) and shoot everything coming down the hill over ontop of it. The USMC tanks just stay on that one road and shoot everyone who crosses the road. The tank whores have like 50-0 k/d ratios. Once and a while the US tanks come down the road and base rape the hotel. The tanks and APCs never fight each other they just stay in one place and camp all the infantry. Then if the fighting goes on and one side has the train wreck and one has the gatehouse. Some little C4 junkie always has to blow the bridge. "hey guys lets fight each other from a distance instead of finishing it quick." It requires not strategy you just walk foward to the next spawn point or maybe not forward maybe you go around a building. Then you either take it or you die. There's no falling back in Karkand because if you cross the street a tank or APC will mow you down. It really requires 0 teamwork except of course that you all shoot the guys with red tags. When rushing the hotel there will be about 90 claymores in your way. Also what limits tactics is there are only 2 ways to each base basically a front and a back. In Mashtuur there are a ton so you actually have to decide not just go in the direction from whatever base you have capped. Another thing there are only 2 kits played support and medic it seems. The support camp with their PKMs and the medics wait for the support to die so they can revive them. Some ok Karkand games can be played against clans or something. But most of the time when playing some random public 64 player Karkand server most of the people on my team and the other team deserve to be in the BF2 Special Olypics. Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates Karkand?
