If you win, you're sure to have high points.

i go for the win.  for instance, if i've got the tank as MEC and i'm at the hotel and i see a humvee on UAV outflanking us, i'll follow them all the way back to our base to make sure we defend it cause i know nobody else will.  you can get a surprising number of points by defending a key flag cause they'll keep coming at you and you just mow em down.  i'm surprised more people don't try defending key flags...easy kills...more wins.

I recall games on Karkand where US won by sheer killing, without capping a single flag. How many flags does US need to take before they stop bleeding? It's not that many is it?

Alot of the Karkand game depends on who wants to win the round and who wants points (that's what this post is about), most of the people camp out at the hotel and know if they take that flag it means easy pickin's for the MEC to faulter. Once everything but the island is taken, all the USMC has to do is line up and shoot, because the match will be over.
If you have a good commander and at least 2 good squads on MEC that listen they will park at the SUBs and the island for the USMC. I've played MEC and thought that the USMC sucked because we played with alot of teamwork. Thats the key.. I admit though, I've been in the Hotel Camping Anonymous Class.  Thats why I am taking a huge break from Karkand, its monotonous -- Like Pac-Man -- same map, same ghosts, you just have to eat them first, someone needs to do something amazing in Karkand..like play as a Team.

Very true it can also be incredibly fun, especially in a squad on VoIp or with friends on teamspeak, defending suburbs after sneaking around to get it can be very rewarding.  I think some of the most fun i've had in this game is defending a point against relentless attack while communicating with a squad.  different map, but i have good memories of myself and 4 friends on TS defending south island on songhue with AT kits for the entire round against continuous APC and tank assault.

as usmc i pushforward and take hotel. by myself or with others. Not only do you get huge amounts of points but attacking the flag back from hotel is much more fun and a lot less pointlees spawnraping

I ignore the hotel drive over the hill on the right down by the wall skirt the edge of the no limits zone cross the river and take the flags on the other side of the gatehouse. Always works and its just like football you make space for your teamates to run into.  It draws the opposing team into splitting up over the map and makes them easier to fight.
