Is Karkand the lowest skilled map?

[straywolf]

Sure...
You have them in ALL the urban combat maps. That's why I hope that its fixed with the next patch.

[straywolf]

Because you have EFFECTIVE defense with good TEAMWORK.

straywolf, who's the invisible poster you're talking to?

I think arty has its place on the map. Arty is the bane of infantry and thus it makes it that much more "tense". I'd say remove the damned tanks but leave the APCs and the FAVs.

I think I've played this map a total of 8 times as USMC and about 100 times as MEC.

Always as soon as the map starts.....SERVER HAS MOVED YOU TO THE OTHER SIDE. :cry:

Ah well never mind.

The MEC could do with an uncaptureable base.

It's too bad there aren't more players willing to escort a tank through the streets and protect the sides and flank. Most of the time the tanks or apcs have to go it alone and become easy targets for anti tank and spec ops.

WOW! If I could find a server where players know that a tank needs infantry support, I would make it my first server join attempt everytime I logged in.

Looked like you were chatting and wasn't tracking.

karkand is too easy to attack as a USMC.

Just get in your humvee, drive down the road, go right just after the artillery, down that road, off the ramp jump, take that flag, then the next, then so and and so forth.

Take 4 flags before even the enemie commander notices :P

Today was leading a squad, we all got in a humvee (squad of 4) and did this plan, took the whole map in 9 minutes and won in 10 :P

Way to spam the thread. Ever heard of the EDIT BUTTON?

The n00btube is called such for a reason. It's essentially the quickest one hit killer in the game for infantry. Better and faster than an AT round. So I agree with most, that it's a noob cannon and it sucks.

Adversely, you can do something about it. Next time you see a noobtuber shoot a round at you, strafe and jump to the side. Whip out your pistol, and plug away. I got my pistol badge on Karkan that way. Just did that for the first 10 minutes of the round. Nothing better than killing a noob tuber with a pistol while they reload/switch weapons; expect maybe knife or paddle em.

EDIT: holy cow. 7 posts in a row? Yeah, straywolf is the definition of spam.

starwolf is a post count noob!

Second: SaK is a funny map, with a good squad you own the map, I have seen it that even if all but a few are captured there are still USMC and MEC guys run at each other... its god damn silly.With a good squad you goto the left and take the west most flag first, then hop in thhe Humvee haul ass across the bridge and work from the east back to the bridge... or if your really slick drop one guy at each flag and watch them go, cap, cap, cap, cap....

But i have to admit i enjoy taking my 50 caliber sniper rifle and just picking people off that come off the hill into the eastern alley right next to the first CP out of the USMC base. Headshot every time, they can see me and they run right at me. Makes it SOOO EASY. Another benifit is i'm not in the artilalry zone so i dont get hammered every 45 seconds... sometimes i reach into the 100's just sitting there its crazy

"WOW! If I could find a server where players know that a tank needs infantry support, I would make it my first server join attempt everytime I logged in."

Ideally, it would be the other way around - the troops need tank support and the tank is used to help the troops get to their objective...

Does anyone else find it odd that tanks can request 'repair support', but troops can't request 'air/armour support'? Wouldn't that be better? the tank/chopper becoming a "team asset" that can be called in to help when troops get stuck in a hard battle and need help advancing, rather than (too often) some whacko's personal joyride vehicle? (I have to include myself in the 'whacko' group...).

Actually, what would be nice is giving the commander the choice of calling in an artillery strike, spawning a tank/chopper [max 1 per team] etc. If the commander spams artillery, then at least they'd have no armour... Actually, I really like that idea...

[Pilioka]

Some people are noobs and some are not. What I see a lot of is GP30 or M203 whores. But that's ok because while they pwn my teammates I get revives.

I have been on karkand and it was full of noobs. Like hardcore noooooooob.
