Karkand experience after 2 months

[.Churr.]

Well, yesterday was the first time I played Karkand again in 2 months or so...
Not much has changed, but:

- 95% of the players are: Medic (Revive), Support ("Ammo, Here!", "Frag out!") and Sniper (Claymores)

99% of the infantry kills come from:
[Hand Grenade]
[PKM]
[Claymore]
[G36E]

- Everybody still stuck in the "Hotel Stalemate", which is even longer due to medics in both sides reviving and reviving
- Armor whoring almost the same, maybe easier due to decrease of AT / Spec Ops classes.

I can only imagine the insane and blatant stats padding that happens when the "No Vehicles" option is turned off

Too bad it's one of the best maps eh?

"One" of the best. I wouldn't place it in the top three, but given it's sheer popularity due to it's high SPM, it certainly does rank in the top ten.

There are much better ones out there without the fog, the huge ammount of armor, and the chokepoints.

Personally I see Karkand as a 'good map' simply because it's a 'popular map.'

I fail to see the attraction to it, but nobody can deny it's popularity.

Karkand is the Britney Spears of Battlefield 2's maps.

I like it when Im with my friends, because it can be fun for squads, but beside that its really annoying.

Re: Karkand experience after 2 months

I agree, it's one of the best. Probably the best map out there is Wake Island. So many rolls to choose from.

But, Karkand is a joke. Like the poster said, it's just a spam fest of grenades. Not only that, you just get mowed down by tanks and APC's. Well, that's why they made eryx for. But, the grenade spam is uncalled for. Only the assault should be aloud to carry it. As, it is it's main speciality, grenades.

Thats def your opinion, i know many people who hate Wake, just as I do, but i also cant stand Karkand. Jallalabad is a great city map, and Mashtuur is one if not my fav. map.

I don´t know if the OP is a choppewhore, normally players with that Avatar are, and I don´t want to start a falme war, but what tickles me is when people that almost just fly planes or almost just fly helo´s come here and post that people that almost just play has a medic live a boring,statpadding live.

I know for a fact that lot´s of people get that elusive medals, like expert kits, flying and not groudpounding, so what´s the problem if some ground pounder gets their stats groundpoundig?

People that do this should look at themslves and stop complaining abaut what other people do.

For me, I like karkand because is a good place to hone your infantry skills, so much needed in clan wars. No, I don´t play 64p Karkand, and I don´t throw grenades, and I don´t play as support.

Re: Karkand experience after 2 months

I do like Karkand I have to admit.

However, like someone above posted - it depends on who is playing.

When I'm USMC and all my side wants to do is go into the Hotel meatgrinder then I have to say that I hate it as well. The other day I was playing and a couple of us managed to get on the east side and seize a couple of flags.

Instead of immediately spawning there and cracking the game wide open the majority of our team simply continued - like lemmings or and army of undead - to throw themselves into the hotel.

About five of us managed to tie down a couple of APCs and the tank for many minutes and were begging them to spawn over there and open things up. No response.

So I'll modify my comment and say that when the map is played by a competent USMC team it is one of the best. When Ash and the Army of Darkness is plodding to the Hotel it sucks.

Maybe it would be better if the USMC started with the Hotel.
