Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

I'm hoping the Special Forces expansion will truly focus more on the infantry side as it promises to. PC Gamer mag did a great write-up on the new shooters coming out in the next 12 months & that was one of the articles that really intrigued me.

Karkand would be greatly improved in my opinion if the tanks were eliminated or the spawn time between them seriously increased. APCs too...they can be just as deadly on an infantry map.

An urban map with nothing but Humvees on it would be heaven for me...

Thats exactly the idea. Some maps favor the foot soldier, some aircraft, and some APC/Tanks. Its a good thing because I'm an APC hore on that map.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

To be honest Karkand not having any aircraft is the reason I rarely play it. I love flying. Both the helos and the jets.

The thing that set BF1942 and DC apart from games like COD is the ability to use all manner of vehicles including aircraft. I really miss the maps with ships on as well. It brought a new dimension to the game to be able to move the destroyer around to give artillery cover.

I don't mind there being maps with no aircraft but it would be nice to have some really big maps like No Fly Zone and El Alamein which were really good for dogfighting. Most of the BF2 maps are just too small for a good dogfight. It only takes a few seconds to fly from one side of the map to the other and you're constantly going out of bounds.

AA is effective if you know how to use it. The static AA is without doubt really badly positioned in almost all cases. Blocked by buildings, ground features and those bloody flare pylons, but the Linebacker and especially the Tunguska are lethal in the right hands.

I think you'll find it's not becuase of lack of Aircraft, but becuase the levels are much more urban and close-contained.
