Much better map layout and easy to get anywhere pretty fast. No Choppers or Jets... Plenty of Armor to go around.
Such great feedback from a N00b... Good job and karma to you...Skorpy-chan wrote:
It's a nicely balanced map. There's lots of cover for infantry action, armour is able to cruise around killing, but is still vulnerable to AT rockets.
There's also two major bottlenecks, one at the start with the initial assault, and the battle for the bridge at the train accident. The second of these tends to be where the game is won or lost, if the MEC holds the USMC and stops the flanking move of vehicles through the ford, they maintain an equal number of CPs and have the defensive advantage.
It's also somewhat easy to get a flanking move going, using an infiltrating squad if infantry.
However, in IO mode, the threat and speed of the vehicles is gone, making it just a case of who can spam the most grenades and who has more snipers or medic whores.
EDIT:
That's not to say it's the best, but that's why it's popular. I prefer Sharqi, but know I can always hop onto a karkand server for a while for a decent game if I can't find anything else. (Much like it was on Sunday. everybody sucked until I got to a Karkand server and started being a pain in the ass as spec ops by banzai-charging armour to try and get basic explosive ordanance.)
Karkand. Doesnt have flying in it. Thats my only reason. I havent played Jalalabad lately. No one likes it any more T_T
When I had bad RAM bf2 crashed a lot while loading maps.
So I only played on 24/7 servers and most of these servers play karkand.
I got used to it and now it's the only map I play (IO only).

because it offers the best close range infantry out of all the maps, bar some bits of warlord and mass destruction?
its so popular because its like the only map run on servers now, and special forces is dying only 2 good servers left. They should just make a patch that removes all the maps except karkand and rename the game battlefield karkand.
It is run on 90% of the servers where I have a ping of less than 200. Thus if I want to play BF2 I often must play Karkand...it is boring at times and I try to switch or just try different tactics/kits...
IT's popular cos Jets are way to overpowered against infantry or vehicles.
And this is the only way customers who bought the game can say "FU EA"

It doesnt matter which falgs you have on karkand there is always good battles which are easy to get to.
indeed "FU EA" -> lol :pJaggedPanther wrote:

Because it is the place to get points.
It's perfect sized, a lot of action, don't have to fall asleep while searching the enemy, many firefights, ...
Oh, and I don't now what's with that nadefest. What the fuck is wrong with throwing a grenade? If 15 medics get together on 1 square meter and 1 grenade takes them all out, what's wrong with that? Player just knows when to throw a grenade. But soon everyone starts bitching about nade spamming and a player who threw a grenade suddenly becomes a n00b, nadespammer etc. I mean, who wouldn't throw a grenade? Besides, I play IO Karkand a lot and I have never seen any famous "nadefest", maybe just a little on the beginning of a round.

yes indeed in the beginning of a round in karkand when you are in IO only server there is a bot of nadespam but after 2 or 3 minutes it stops. soo.....I have never seen any famous "nadefest", maybe just a little on the beginning of a round.

Overrall, Great terrain for vehicles, Infantry only.
I like Karkand because it never takes long to get to the fighting. And as a lot of people have said, no air power. Nothing more frustrating than dying over and over again due to a stupid jet.
Now before you say "thats because you suck in jets", yes, thats partly true (i have had some great Jet rounds though, but only recently have i gotten good at bombing, hence the lousy stats), but i also say it because only 1 or 2 people in a team can be in the jet, and everyone else in the game has to suffer it. Same goes for the MEC chopper in Sharqi, where a good pilot and a gunner at any skill level can completely dominate any game.
That said, Sharqi is my favourite map. I just have more Karkand hours because on Sharqi i always get low fps around the construction area and various other parts so i dont play it so much.

Yeah, I agree. The jet whores are awful, and Kark is great for strategic gameplay. Its fun to sneak back and capture enemy flags on their turf when they're all keyed into the Hotel area. I don't like IO - I think the vehicles add to the overall strategy. It's also a good map for all the different kit types. Everybody's role is important and I switch kits a lot during games depending on the situation. I usually like to start off with Medic, then do some sniping, maybe throw in a little AT if the tank whores are out, and cap it off with some Spec-Ops radar and artillery blow-ups. It's all good in Kark Land!!FrenziedAU wrote:

I wouldn't call it my favourite map, but the combination of lots of cover, long-ish range combat, close quarters mayhem, sniping spots, and some armour action make it quite enjoyable. This assumes non-IO - the only IO Karkand round I have played was such a massive nade-spam fest that I've never gone back.
I started off playing Karkand when i was a begineer so thats why it is my most played map, though it no where near being my favourite (Night Flight ftw) i used to enjoy the battles between train accident and gatehouse, especially on 32p so the USMC didn't cap back flags. Now every 24/7 Karkand server is IO and that just bores me to death, so i play Warlord, as it is easier to find veichle servers, and is a better map. There is only one good infantry only map imo and that is Mass destruction
