What I'd like to know is how many times this same general question can be recycled on these hallowed forums?

Karkand is a shitty excuse for a city map. lets look at the movie Black Hawk Down, for instance. On every roof, there are people shooting at you. every building can be gotten into. tanks cannot fit on the roads.

a REAL city map has nothing predictable. Karkand is the same. every time. US spawns, rushes the center and right side of the Hotel. the US tank rapes the alleys
of course karkand is gonna be predictable! most people have played it hundreds of times!

i think karkand is good for ppl hu have only recently started the game. jus run around with shock paddles and click on fallen friends. then u see ppl around using certain skills and u put them into practice.

Prefer Sharqi tbh, although karkand is absolutely great the armour, arty, and claymores ruin the fun. As a result I've been playing sharqi / unranked kark infantry. No matter how good you are at getting insta-headshots with an ak-101 you're going to run into a tank/apc at the wrong moment, get artied, or find a claymore in the wrong place at the wrong time. There's much less of this on Sharqi, and Construction/City Entrance/Alleyway fights are great

Why do you guys play karkand so much?!

Whats the point? Why not play BF2 for what it was made for, wide gameplay on massive maps not normal maps that you can get on CoD2, MOH etc. anyway, thats my point made I can breathe now.
Cuz people want points, Karkand = alots of players, lots of players = lots of kills, lots of kills = lots of revives and kill points. So what can we conclude from this? Karkand gives lots of points if u know how to play on it

Karkand there's room for every kit.  I think it's the best well-rounded infantry map.  No single kit has a huge advantage over another.

In my opinion, it's the best place to judge raw skill.  If you're not alert, you will die.  If you're not quick, you will die.  I like that.

ive been playing FPS's for probably more years than a lot of u scrotes have been alive
every so often, a map pops up that is leagues better than the others available either in that game, or in all games currently out there.  Karkand isone of those maps (tho it could be slightly less favourable to the spawnkilling at Hotel)

Karkand is right up there with other greats like Remagen on MoHAA, and El Al on bf42/DC.  Its enormous, its convoluted, there is no 'one way' to play it, it has snipe spots which work, it has bottlenecks, it has open spaces, it has everything u could want... hell, all it doesnt have is a pub!

but hey, this is just my opinion.  be sure to note the number of people that refer to it as a pointswhoring map.  but disregard those same people with contempt also, as they really know nothing at all

For the same reasons that you'll find more Warlord servers in SF than anything else.  There are several reasons.

1) No air.  It's a tank whores dream to not have to worry about air.  Just AT's and TOW's.

2) 3 armor per side.  Thus, it's not going to be an armor fest like can be found on FuShe Pass or Songhua Statelemate.

3) Closely spaced flags.  Lots of potential for CQC, meaning happy ground pounders.

Because of these things, particularly #3, Karkand is generally the most popular map for getting many of your badges and some ribbons.  Many have gotten their pre-1.3 Knife and Pistol badges legitly from Karkand, not to mention the large number of Explosives badges.

Karkand owns because you can have sniper duels, ground pounding sessions, and you can APC and tank whore if your a bit gay, but you can avoid those people easily. Plus there aint no faggots dropping bombs on your head.. Apart from commander but that goes without saying.

Mashtuur! Just follow the link in my sig for why.

Basically, much less armor, no spawnkilling, and still no air (apart from a nerfed BH and that doesnt exactly count).

the caps are too spaced in karkand its linear its a virtual tug of war unless a squad or brave soul lonewolfs it passed hotel and doesn't get down by a piece of armor or sniper.

If it wasn't for the spawn raping the map could possibly be one of the greats in history its BF2's Dust.




edited spawn camping, to flat out rape.

I've yet to see a First Person Shooter which doesn't involve just going around shooting.

The tactics are only as thought out as the tactician. Of course I want kills so my score goes up. How does that differ to the other maps?

See the first point. It is a map I enjoy. That is the point in playing it.

EntertaineR_06 wrote:

I do a lot of that, too. However, every now and again it is a nice change to turn to a map with a little more close quarters combat. Urban combat is very fun, I love running into buildings and taking the fight indoors.

I don't have CoD2, nor MOH. I don't feel like shelling out extra money if all I am going to get is a karkand which isn't set in the modern era.

That's cool if you play to get points, but if you can't do it well on other maps, then I say you're a shitty player.
