that fucking hates Strike at Karkand? no other time in the game does the period of war revert back to the Revolutionary war of the US, standing 5 fucking feet from eachother firing all your shit in lifted hopes of hitting somewhere close to anything. i usually dont complain about spawnrape, but it gets fucking bad there. a goddamn abrams poking its dick into the MEC hotel spawn at mowing you down before you can even move. and there are always the 5 snipers who dont do shit, get 3 kills, and sit there until they are the last ones and dont even bother to cap a point ever. ever.
aarrggg. sory ive had a shitty day in life today

heh, I see it as a nice change from maps with aircraft. Only in moderation though, sometimes it does get a bit too much, Especially on City-Map servers where it comes around again a bit too quick

Maybe I'm strange, but I like Karkand. No aircraft. Armor is at a disadvantage in the tight streets.
Yes, I've been on teams, where it seems like only 4 of us were actually trying to win.

Funny that you complain about the US Abrams at the hotel, did you lose the other 5-6 spawn points before that happened? How did your AT manage to get let the tank in that far?

karkand is overplayed. i avoid it. It's not a bad map but too many people have a fetish for it

i like the map, it just bugs me when 99% of the players on the US side think attacking ONLY the first flag is the way to win when theres like 3-4 players max covering ALL the back flags. . . Seems like im the only one smart enough to get behind the MEC then i get over-run when no backup spawns at the new flag i capped. Its a good map for playing with people you know, not the mass nubbage that inhabits the servers.

im with you on this one. this map is annoying. it can be fun, but it is just way over played. most people like it because its mainly just infantry. but then when there is a tank everyone starts to complain. well if you want just infantry battles then why not play another game? battlefield games are about being able to use everything on the battlefield. i prefer maps with choppers and jets. and no im not a jet whore, i have maybe 50 kills while flying it myself and all the rest are from the bomber.

sorry man, but i seriously like this map cuz it sort of looks like the things you see in the news with the war on Iraq, though when you destroy a tank it doesn't respawn.

Karkland is like the De_Dust of Counter-Strike

Yeah spawn raping sucks if you're on the mec but all you gotta do is spawn some where else jet whores are worse cause you cant even kill them and the stupid AA missles on mount or vechile hardly ever hit anything.

I quite agree, it is overplayed. I didn't really hate the map until I saw it rapidly become the n00b point whore capital of this game. Why is it that novice players say to themselves, "Wow I just scored the most points that I've ever gotten (in 2-3 hours of playing) while playing on Karkand. I must beet a l33t player on this map. I don't want to build up helo/plane skillz, so I'll just stick to this map forever."

Seeing it be one of the few maps to get 24/7 servers just made it worse.

I'm ashamed that it is my most played map, but it is pretty much impossible to find a server without it at all and without a constant ticket bleed rounds last longer there.

Someone else who has it. I hit the suburbs ASAP and get that flag. Then we start the karkand tour, trying to get every other one. It gives you two points of entry into the area.

I stopped playing it for a while because it always seemed that one side was always just overrunning the other. It was either MEC totally pushing back the USMC or the USMC taking every flag in the first 3 minutes. It didn't matter to me if I was on the winning side or not, a couple of kills and a couple of deaths and game over.

I also got tired of spawning as USMC as an Infantry and looking around to see 15 out of 20 people spawning as Snipers. Once the game is pushed to the marketplace it seems as though the Snipers are then replaced by Medics, all of whom wait for you to get hurt or killed then "gang heal" you.

On the plus side I always love the all out firefight that happens at the train accident. Both sides of the water just pounding away at each other. Armor is almost totally neutralized by AT and Spec ops. That is when true teamwork happens by itself rather than being forced.

I have recently started playing again and found it to be much more enjoyable. I forgot how much fun it is to haul around in a tank or APC as an Engineer with someone else doing the same and shooting and repairing at the same time. In the armor you are on your "A" game or a C4 sandwich is on order.

Karkand is a target rich enviroment, just remember that means everyone is a target.

i feel you. im an aerial whore. love jets, love choppers...not into infantry or tanks. some ppl like infantry and tanks...but they're just not for me. i'm sure i'd be good at that stuff if i tried but i never really did cause theres nothing like dog fights in the air, baseraping with jets(70.86.173.154 <---fhm clan server that allows baseraping with anything <3 ), shooting anything with tv missiles, chopper fights with tvs, baseraping with tvs. omg i can go on forever about the joys of using aerial machines in bf2. wish i was at home right now playing after typing this

I HATE people who think capturing all the flags will make them win the round!!!! Even when they're loosing all they think about is "cp cp cp cp cp cp" ........idiots.........but I love karkand, and ive had the best of battles there.

my personal favourite kit is support, (god loves the MG36) and this map rocks the house when ur support!!!

this is the map i get my golds and silvers on as support, its also a great one for getting pistol and knife awards on. how can you possibly not like it, except for the abrams and Lav-25s, they do ruin the gameplay of the map!

woop woop woop!

lol! You got a point there. Personally I hate fighting about the first flag, I always go elsewhere fighting and causing trouble. But I hate the map, but not as much as wake island 2007 though (to little space to move on).

I hate that foggy map whats it called? songhua whatever, cant see shite all on some servers yet enemy always see me!!...crappy system i have is prolly the cause. Karkand is ok i learned early on not to go straight for the first flag and as MEC i stay in the main base cos i know only too well some C4 man will pay a visit if ur not careful! as for spawn camping errrm a little guilty i guess (not on uncaps though) i kinda spawn camped last night on dragon valley in an AA vehicle, last flag the USMC had so everyone was spawning there and our guys were trying to cap it..so i covered them...its spawn camping in a sense but it did have an objective team wise...p*ssed me bro-in law off mind you cos he was on opposite team lol...sorry dude!
