Re: Karkand - Am I the only one who hates this map?
My favorite map is sharqi. I'm not a fan of karkand, but i play it because it is on the rotation of the city map servers. The problem I have with it is I always get stuck with the MEC. I can never play USMC on that map. I hate playing MEC on that map. if its the 64 version, the first flag thats taken is the eastern most flag, followed by the back base. Once those are taken its game over. You get assaulted by tanks, infantry comes from every which way, and the arties seem to find you no matter where you go. I've tried to defend the back base before, but I cant seem to do it because no one ever helps me defend it. Thats the only source of armor for the team and is crucial to survival, but everyone keeps spawnign at the hotel. It just frustrates me sometimes.
I love sharqi because it has perfect balance. The helis keep the armor under control, and the infantry dont get slaughtered by the helis because there are so many spot for you to hide. Its the only map where i dont have many (if any) complaints.

I just can't stand this map, I would take Mashtuur or Sharqi over it any day!
Nah...my bro doesnt like it either, and certainly aint my favourite, i'll play it when it comes around on rotation but not on the gay 24/7 servers with the hoppers/toobers/tank whores/lone wolfs and morons who seem to only play this map.
Mashtuur and Sharqiu are better maps with more variety imo.
Re: Karkand - Am I the only one who hates this map?
I really enjoy this map but It does tend to be the same battle over and over on public servers. Thats why ive been finding all types goofy spots to use! ;-) bordem = exploration. It just depends what game play you like I suppose.

Yeah, except the MEC side has to persuade half its players to stay away from the point orgie and defend, while the USMC only needs two or three people working together to slip around and take the flags for behind.
Re: Karkand - Am I the only one who hates this map?
I play on the EA official servers, and after they reboot at 3p.m. and 3a.m. every day (I play on the west coast servers, so 3p.m. PST), the map rotation goes - Karkand, Songhua, Sharqi, Clean Sweep, Mashtuur, and so on. So in the afternoon when I get home from work usually all the servers are either on Songhua, or they have just started a new Karkand server with enough people joining. Once the Karkand map gets officially started, meaning 10 people, the remaining roster spots fill up FAST. After the three rounds of Karkand, it switches to Songhua, and about half of the people leave the server. :P So if that doesn't mean that Karkand is the most popular map, then it probably means that Songhua is the least popular.
Re: Karkand - Am I the only one who hates this map?
I like Karkand a lot. I usually seem to be MEC. I normally start out in the battle for the Hotel but as soon as we lose one of the back flags I'll start spawning in the rear to defend or retake those CPs. I love defending the main base on the 32-player map as AT. Almost as much fun as the initial Hotel battle. Plenty of use for missiles, pistol, and DAO-12.
Re: Karkand - Am I the only one who hates this map?
The secret to Karkand as USMC is to go along the sides ... on the right side, parachute down that "cliff" and walk across the water to take their main. Or just walk to the extreme left and take the Western-most point which is very rarely defended.
As MEC, I like to defend either the Suburbs or the main base. When the game first starts, 99% of the time, a couple sneaky USMC soldiers will try to cap the suburb point. C4, boom, gone.
Why don't more people take up defensive positions? I love to get a good area with a clear view of the cap zone (and a lot of C4) and wait for an enemy to stupidly walk up and think no one is defending.
WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE DEFEND? I've said this so many times. And I only see a fellow defender maybe 1 out of 50 times I play. I play to win. And because of this, commanders love me. Players as a rule tend to think that as a defender you will get less points and will make ABSOLUTELY NO effort to set up defenses. Yet I see combat a lot of the time. And, because I have no other defenses besides myself, I die a lot.
Whenever I play a Karkand server I create a squad called "WE DEFEND!." What a surprise... no one joins. I need a good mod to come out so I can rid myself of these people.
