Strike at Karkand I/O

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

you must do all the above mentioned yourself, or maybe ya just dumb, why else would you be in the thick of it?

well i have tried almost every method. you can hang back and lob grenades and tk massive amounts of teammates or you can get closer and throw nades only to be picked off by an enemy pretty fast. the last method is the kamikaze, i guess i prefer this the most. run into the thick of things and drop 2 clays and then get out as fast as you can without getting killed. and taking flags is impossible unless you can get 10 - 15 people all running for the flag at the same time. i think if they added shopping carts or some other form of primitive transportation it would be funner.

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

Ive logged many hours on Kark (576:44:24 1,388 1,242) ..from lauch its been the "high point" infantry map, even when there was no I/O.
Even before I/O my favorite type of Kark was 32, APC and tank for USMC and a single tank..its not as hectic as a 64 of any type. As I/O its squad based more and as Vehicle its not to armor heavy.

My favorite tho, which is usually hard to find...16 man I/O Kark, Mash, Oman

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

Why do you guys make Strike at Karkand infantry only sound like a hell?

because its where all the hacking, glitching, cussing, spamming, whoring, exploiting, stat padding, raping, spam-whores go to cheat, exploit, glitch, hack, and stat pad......also to whore points and spam nades, ammo packs, medic packs and claymores....

ppl play there mainly to get EASY POINTS in a 3 hour round of IO kirkland (karkand) FF-off high points nooblefockfest...

if BF2 were existence, surely karkand would be hell.....its the only map so noobish ppl dont even know its name, they call it 'karkland', 'kirkand' and my favorite 'kirkland' :laugh:

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

I like Karkand, I won't deny it. Before I had broadbandwhere I could get the patches and play online (that's a whole other story), I loved playing it offline.
Online, I still like it, but the two times I tried it in IO I just stopped, looked on in consternation, shook my head and left. Never have I seen grenade spam like that before. And you may well forget about anything even remotely resembling teamwork.

However, I just hate IO altogether. The old point that the Battlefield series was about using vehicles as well as infantry rings true. Then, I suppose, you can come along and question why, then, there was an IO mode included at all. Well, I would think it's so that we could get all the point whores in one place and so avoid them.
There's one other map I tried in IO, I forget the name, and it was just a mass of snipers on either team. Want to cap a flag? Sorry, snipers cut you to pieces before you take two steps into the open. Again, teammates are useless.

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

There are nade spammers in IO
There are nade spammers in normal servers.
I like IO Karkand because it's quick and frantic, but a break from it every so often is nice :)

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

this is why I LOVE going on IO or normal rounds in 24/7 jalalabad servers. as much as an IO in karkand is ok once in a while, i love jalalabad way more. thats some hardcore serious ish right there, some all out full on realistic Iraqi combat. only thing we need now is the suicide bomber aspect of the ps2 version on jalalabad, and we're talkin bizness

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

the nade and clay spam and the support and medic whores make it hell. i have yet to stay alive for more than 10 seconds.

I was playing in the Kaboom 64 man Karkand IO lastnight and there wasn't a single medic on my team for two whole rounds.

So ya...medic whores, what?:hmm:

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

Karkand is great fun for me, because the majority of people love to blast away at each other around the hotel (I honestly don't see the fun in that, but to each his own), and that allows me to try to sneak around behind the enemy and blow his assets up and cap flags. While playing USMC, I get a squad together and 95% of the time am able to cap the train wreck flag straight away. From there I go to the warehouse and then blow his **** up. It's a good challenge, especially if MEC has a decent commander and gives guidance to his troops.

I can understand why people don't like this map, but try to actually cap flags instead of seeing how many grenades you can throw in 10 minutes.

Re: Strike at Karkand I/O

I totally agree with glcm1961
Most of my BF2 time (95%) is on Karkand.
I hate the nade spammers, but it makes it the more interesting (as USMC) to find the opening and go for the flag (Suburb, or East side). I love to command or Squad Lead towards Victory
