Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

[imported_Master Shake]

I see EA/DIce are looking to balance karkland and Mashtur...by taking away the armor and helos,........I say add more, and a linebacker/tunguska that way the helos and armor will have to contend with each other and stay away from infantry. Thoughs?

Re: Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

Well I don't think they need to remove the armor & helos altogether -- what they really should be doing is adding some more AA structures and TOWs

Atm its easy to stop an armor advance if you take out all of the bridges as a Spec Ops -- but most people don't spend the time to do this.

that is a good idea

Re: Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

Agree 100%. Add more countermeasures, don't remove features!

Re: Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

if we want an infantry fight then yes take away the armour

leave more vehicles for transporting troops i like ground and pound but a support comes out the loser mano a tanko

mushtaar and karkand are great city maps i hate the maps where u have one spawn to start at and therre are planes dropping a $H!T storm on you within 30 seocnds of game start

Re: Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

I'm actually glad they're reducing the amount of armored vehicles on those maps, because I really enjoy CC Infantry fighting and often the game ends because of some tank whores who rush around in convoys and take every flag. Situation's not that bad on Mashtuur City and Sharqui Peninsula, but Karkand really sux, if there are whores around.

Karkand would be alot better then no armor in it only vehicles

Well definitely not any tanks, I think if they only had transport and one APC per side, it would be pretty fun. Even if there are tanks though, they never seem to stay alive for that long.

Is it official? where'd you get the news?

Re: Ok,ok..Karkland...Mashtur..

Firstly, what's your source? As far as I can tell from your post, you're speculating. Please cite a source so we can see just how official or not this is.

Secondly, open your options menu and goto the area where you set your crosshair color, mini-map options, etc, and look at the mini-map. Notice how it's on Mashtuur, and also notice how there's an icon for an AA vehicle in that mini-map? Looks like they forgot something else in the final release.

As far as removing armor goes, I say there's not ENOUGH vehicles in most maps and the armor in Karkand and Mashtuur is definately nothing that's disrupting gameplay. If you get camped by a tank, try spawning as anti-armor and killing it. The armor is perfectly fine in Karkand and Mashtuur, if anything they should complete the civilian vehicles that are modeled in the BF2 code and add them in as a little extra transportation and consider more armor on other maps, as it's clear their promise for enough vehicles for everyone hasn't held true.
