BF2S Forums moths to the flame

The Hotel is where the points are at, duh! . And for the MEC it's the most important because that is where they are coming from, and if you eliminate all the side work the US is done for in a matter of minutes. Some people go for points and others decide they are bored and are more tactful and decide to plant mines at the runways (there are only two!) and have snipers and some more bullarky on the outer edges, by this time everyone should know where they are going or what flag they are taking, 9-10 it's either the Suburbs or Factory.

isn't everymap?? You have jet-point farmer maps also? What's the difference besides the airpower? I see no difference.

It seems people are attracted to smelly, stinking Hotels, with an ugly view from the windows of the rooms; burning car wrecks.
Cheap prices for rooms and food presumably.
You would think a Train Accident (!) would gather a crowd more easily !

Nah,it's probably the food inside that's why they are all outside trying to find the pool located at the Suburbs but they want directions from the US because they have the hottest babes..

isnt the whole point of playing the map to get points? so no-one really cares if they win or lose except the commanders, they want points to get better stats like evry1 else, not to win a round that lasts two minutes and they get about 6 points for

No, the whole point of playing is to win the map, points are incidental, and not unimportant, but shouldn't be the focus.  Some of the most enjoyable maps are where the US storms the river, crushes the defenders, then rolls up the MEC from the rear, winning the map with a loss of only 60 or so tickets to the US.  And yes, points will be gained if there is a determined counter-attack.  I have been on the MEC side when a determined US side followed the above tactic, and it was very intense to regain our side of the river, and immensely satisfying to kick them from the east side of the river, then to fend off a determined attempt to retake our main.  Those sessions will generate plenty of points, I have personally gotten over 100 points on rounds that unfold like that.
  Kills give points, but so do flag neutraliztions/flag captures/and flag defends.  If the flags were not important, they would have then taken them out and made Karkand a team deathmatch instead of a conquest map.  I don't agree with you that no one cares whether they win or lose.  If the game you enjoy playing is to be in the meat grinder of the hotel, then be my guest.  As for me, the objective is to win the map, whether I command or not.
  I don't intend to flame you here, just to respectfully disagree.

  As for the rest of you that think like I do, if you see any {USI} on the server, then we will be doing what is required to win the map, and if you are on our side, are welcome to join, and if not, be prepared for our arrival!

karkland is a pointfarming map

amen. many people dont care about flag capping, etc. on karkand, they just want their kills. who care who wins or looses if you have 120 pts? pff....

I play to win. Hence why I prefer teamwork and proper play and etiquette to just running around killing things. if the game was about killing things then they would have named it "deathmatch" no "conquest".

I dont play karkand. If I am playing on a server and it swaps to karkand, i leave the server. Ive been doing this for about a month now. Only way ill play karkand is if im following a shit hot squad into it.

24/7 Karkand, 24/7 Karkand/Sharqi/Oman servers are the worst places to play. If you play on a server like that, never ever come to this forum, you are asking for idiots to play with you.

The point of BF2 is to WIN! And to use teamwork to do it! No matter which map you're on! Saying something like that little gem of yours above at least shows us whats running through your mind. How about just becoming a good player? Rather than an ordinary one with great stats.

Stats dont mean much, theyre fun I know, but theyre not going to get you a date with Jessica Alba.

oh and well done zombie for not flaming sum1 when they disagree, jus putting your argument across properly, a lot of people could learn from you

Thanks, I have found reasonable discourse accomplishes more.  I do see there are mixed opinions on the issue, and I guess I will just have to be fortuneate to hook up with like minded people to play Karkand the way I want to play it, it has happened from time to time and makes the map fun for me.
