Flawed? Reread my post please.

Easiest, not most productive. Besides, that might be just you.

If IO is more "fun" and whatnot, fine, peachy. But all this preaching about its higher teamwork level is pure BS.

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

I doubt you can find any real teamwork beyond 16 vs 16. "Teamwork" doesnt count as 6 half full squads camping the fighter spawns. Anywho, back on topic...

I played it once more, did a little bit better then usual, but it was still pretty lame at the beginning. The best part is the bridge battles, but those happen rarely.

Just unlocked my G3 and PKM

EDIT: Yeah, I agree with Chris. This map is so easy for medics. I got 40+ points just reviving and healing

Play competitively, it's a lot more fun, and since everyone claims that everyone they play with is a "noob", you shouldn't have a problem destroying other clans in matches.

It has better teamwork in that every member of a squad can spawn on the leader. On most vehicle servers everyone in a squad has to spawn at different flags to get a vehicle.

Well I must say karkand is "ok" but wake is my favorite map only good thing for karkand is the points and you could get a badge easy in that place if you needed something like explosives cammander and pretty much every gun and ribbons are easy to get to there only thing i hate is the nade war and clay whoring plus the hackers and stuff.

Well for me teamwork is the key to victory on Karkand. Pop along with me ones you might be surprised.

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

I don't know what some of you are talking about. I play Karkand I/O all the time (all I can play at this moment with my specs), and I find it to be great fun. You guys just arn't finding the right servers. I've played I/O Karkand and nothing but since I first started playing, if anyone should be complaining, it's me.


There are some great I/OK servers out there, you just have to be patient and look. Usually the servers with a low amount of people are better about grenade spamming ect.

Less people = Less reason to spam grenades.

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

I play a fair bit of Karkand IO. If you go down the middle it's always a nade fest, but if you go round the flanks and start capping flags then nine time out of ten you can avoid all that.

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

lol
IO karkand is just another type of gameplay and map that i also pwn on. then i might change to a big 64 player air map and still pwn. i dont understand players who have reached a level where they are good at both ground and air start whining about IO. doesnt bother me as long as im in top 3 with a big gap. IO is probably the best way to get better at your ground skills, other wise trying to get good at shooting with kits weapong on a map like wake dalian fushe dragonvalley etc are very restrictive because you have huge vehicles raping ur hole from places u cant see. on those maps its usually vehicle dominated and the only kit that is usefull in a squad is one medic and anti tank for the rest with maybe one support. thats where clan play comes into it, because on a map like wake you cannot have fun and own unless you have a good squad and proper squad work, and that only happens when ur playing with experienced players ie clan mates and other clanppl.
IO is awsome fun in its own way, if i feel like going rambo IO is the way 4 sure. but as i said, the only thing ull get better at in IO is your aim and ur rifle skill. nothing more, not even ur teamwork, because when ppl say "teamwork" its not just knowing how to revive fest because some whacko is nade spamming on the other side, while half ur team is so dumb to walk straight into it. if i just reflect back to the battleground i hear alot of whining about nade spamming (eventhough i dispise of it) but the thing is it doesnt bother me a great deal because i know that jumping with a nade in hand infront of my ak is not gonna make u godlike because im going to shoot u firstm, ur nade might get me, but im probably gonna get revived. i just laugh then i see ppl running with a nade in their hands most of the round.
this topic is just like ppl whining about ppl going into the us spawns on IO karkand LOL man if someone is good as they claim to be, there is no way they are gonna get spawn killed 10 times NO WAY if ur good ull find a way out and thats the whole challange, happens to my team but while they are trying to claim points by staying at the uncap im else where capping flags at the other side of the map jesus
nerf the whining/someppl are obviuosly not as good as they talk them selves up to be.
/end rant

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

IO started the death of BF2 imo.

Now all I see, is this: 24/7 KARKAND IO FF=OFF

It has better teamwork in that every member of a squad can spawn on the leader. On most vehicle servers everyone in a squad has to spawn at different flags to get a vehicle.

And is that such a bad thing is the team actually regroups before assaulting a flag? I do ti all the time. Just let your SQL know where you spawn, tell him youre en route with a tank. The teamwork you describe is another example of forced teamwork, or lemming teamwork, because noone wants to spawn out of the action because noone wants to walk. Apart from that there is no need for it. And running together in one group, is exactly where this teamwork stops.

No, Karkand IO FFoff is not special. Well... it has a lot of special people.

Bloodsport, key to victory in any map is teamstacking and/or teamwork. Karkand is not any different.

The obvious matter is, that teamwork in other maps may be a little more complex.

Re: Karkand IO = Worst Thing. Ever.

Without IO I would play something else
NO uber planes, arty etc etc
NO lag

To bad the commander still exist
I like man to man fights, if you lose your not as good as the other
Not like reg bf2 where peeps fly a plane, random drops some bombs and kill 3-4 enemy's without out skill

IO 4 ever

Here is an example....

64 player Road to Jalahabad.

On IO USMC have got a near on impossible task to break through and hold any spawn in the city without MAJOR teamwork.

It takes us 2 full squads & more (all on TS) to break through the enemy line at its weakest point.

On Armour you just need 1 person as squad leader to sail through the enemy line in a buggy and then spawn a whole squad on the mosque, all within 60 seconds of the start.

So it does make a difference to teamwork in that case.:)
