    Re: After more playtime, Karkand is not the best map

    well, due to improved aa i now enjoy maps i previously skipped - ie. most chinese maps

    with competent pilots, these are still hard, but as most of the flyboys are king of the bomber' it is not so hard to earn a gold medal killing the same guy 20 times in a row in yet another futille attempt to bomb me while who knows not where i am

    out of vechicle based maps i prefer dragon valey 64, lots of fun, and it usualy lasts long enough to rack some kills and to have the tide of battle turned several times

    daqing - only noob pilots dont like it, they die A LOT as they know not anything about cover and tactics. hey! days of impotent AA are OVER!

    dalian, a bit rush type map, side with fastest computers usualy wins, i dont like it because of that. aside, great AT map, with sporadical, but fierce infantry firefights

    wake - i NEVER liked this map, mostly because of long borring walks and very low buggy count. j10 whore wet dream. same as it-is-MINE-j10 TK whores. they still exist, and i still kill them on purpose on sight [just like any sniper with m95 waiting in some distance form spawn point. dont blame me, ive been noob ejected many times, and now i shot first]

    mec maps.. aside form sharqi i dont like them. clean sweep is nice, but only when both teams have very good or very bad pilots, nullyfying the air rape. if it is not the case, then i leave the server. mashtur, spoiled by bh whoring long ago, and i still cant get used to it. got some crazy at mines score some time ago. perfect place for unlimited nade/pkm combo. usmc arty hill anyone..

    karkand.. i prefer 64player version with ~40 people that KNOW that factory is THE spawn point for mec and at least try to defend it. if they all spawn at hotel, is switch to usmc and take the factory flag myself and apc whore at will. stupid mec's deserve it

    zetar is quite nice map, definately gained much from new air combat dynamics. also the planes are pretty even and in most cases both teams have equal number of them. nice AA, nice tank battles. i regret that 32player version isnt the 64' one, due to ticket count. 32player version plays great with 50 players, tested unranked.

    shongua.. great map, one of the best looking, too. but hardly anyone plays it

    sf maps - i LOVE mass destruction and surge. ghost town is overrated imho. it almost never ends near a draw. it is one sided slaughter and spawn camp in most times. good, that it is not only the sas that camps. chopers ruin this map for me
    leviathan/devils perch - due to new and powerfull rig i can fully enjoy these maps again, and well. they play realy nice, but it is the same as with zetar - they are great in 32player versions with ~50 players. as i play mostly unranked now, i can find servers with insane ticket rations on them. devils perch is a GREAT map when there is no 'time limit' and an objective is to actualy wipe mec.

    night flight - nice map, but pretty unbalanced in favour of insurgents. competent apc driver singlehandely stops sas. i did that each time i got a chance to drive. i know, that many are going to argue, but it is my personal experience

    and that leaves us with warlord and iron gator - both GREAT maps, but a bit flawed in dynamics of the gameplay. i know that mec can win gator, but.. it doesnt happen often, second, warlord and gator lags with lots of players.
    third - gator in 16 player version with 40 players is THE gator map. but again, only unranked. due to ticket count nobody is gonna run it this way ranked. and finaly, warlord is won by the team with fastest rigs. capping the palace flag before 80% of people load is much much to often seen

    so

    . dragon valey 64 [50]
    . sharqi 64 [64]
    . karkand 64 [40-50]
    . gator 16 [40]
    . mass destruction 32 [40] or 64 [64]
    and my personal best of last few days - zetar 32 [64]

    unfortunately, most of you play ranked only, and is not ever to see the potential that is in many of underrated maps. points are important, right?

    i havent mentioned unofficial maps, unfortunately i cant use many of them at the same time [old small hdd] so i decided to dont use tham at all untill new hdd is in place

        It would really be nice if you could cordon (sp?) off certain parts of the larger maps for a battle. Has anyone just been out in the middle of nowhere or just driving along on the larger maps and thought... holy crap! this would be an awesome place for a firefight. Some of the best examples are the little village by the US airfield on Oilfields and the broken pipes by the MEC airfield on Kubra.

        Most of the larger maps suck majorly if you dont have good teamwork on your side, but if you have some teamwork going, almost all the maps are really extremely fun. Stalemate and Dalian plant are the only two maps I really hate to play.
        Erh, what Songhua have you been playing? It's full of trees you can hide in, the armor can't run you over and you can easily pop them an AT round out of nowhere...

            (Not reading past the 1st page)

            Most of my time has been on Strike at Karkand. I like it. I've played Wake 2ce. THat's it. I really need to go and play the other maps. I'll use the above lists

            Anyone know of really sucky maps. I don't like Wake that much

              Karkand is an alright map, not great, but not bad.

              The greatest thing about Karkand is there is no aircraft what so ever.

              The down side is PKM and sniper madness.

              My favorite weapon on Karkand is the Jackhammer. So, far I've been able to get 38 kills with it in a single round.

                Im glad Im not the only one who knows this isnt a one map game or a two army game. I myself like the Fushee pass map, Dragon valley, and Sharqi in that order.
                All you guys who only play one map on one server with that one kit. Need to stop wasting your time. There is so much more to this game, try it again and see! . . . . . . . .Red

                I usually avoid stalemate and Dalian plant, I just dont like them.

                  The best map...? All are the best. Including night maps in SF. Every single map has its own beauties.

                    Karkand is my favorite map for the simple reason that the battles are more condensed. You find people easier so you can rack up more kills. I just dont like the fact that the arty is used all the time. That sucks. As for the best map it all depends on the player. Everybody has different opinions.
