My experience vastly differs from your assessment of it. What you describe is the minority of the time.

Tbh if you got stuck in nadespam often then you were a dolt. Mind you still a poor map because it made 36e rape so ridiculously easy.

most of you are talking about karkand IO ...there's quite a huge difference...and it's only the retards who nadespam all day long , usually when I play karkand (IO) I rush (one way or another ) towards the hotel , check if there's any chance to capture it ( number of non retarded teammates close by vs. enemies around the flag) otherwise I keep moving towards square/train accident/ cement factory / factory depending on the situation...

If karkand was such a horrible map how come it became so popular ? ( the only thing horrible about karkand is the avrage karkand players )

Karkand wasn't that bad, stop moaning. It was better than songhua and that other bone shit, I forget the name.

this isn't directed to the above post, just using it as reference

I only play IO. If nades are such a concern for people, stop running into the same areas that other players spam all the time, derp.

Honestly, it's not hard to work out. Just flank and head to another flag. Problem solved.

Same for Kubra Dam. At times it was tedious on 64 player, always fun on 16.

Karkand was a thousand times better when it was in a full maps rotation server and not 24/7 or every second map. Also many times better with vehicles.

Wow, the Karkand hate.  IO maybe, but not regular.  No one ever did a mad dash on a HMVV to the far right into the redline and on to the tracks, pass the water, into MEC main tank/apc spawn?  Climb those shipping crate rigs, jump to the roof, and spawn capture/camp.  The epic battles at the warehouse?

Only fun i had on karkand was me and my TOP buddies getting all the Armor on USMC all engies so we repair eachother and rolling over everyone. get 2 apcs fully loaded with engineers next to the tank and its like a 6x repair speed you don't die unless you hit a mine. Even more lulz occured when we jack the other teams armor too. I remember going like 85-0 and getting around 250 points in a regular round just killing ppl and getting repair points while getting hit with an AT rocket every other second.

Would be interesting how they implement vehicle repairs and healing on BF3.  Will you have to actively wrench, be it from a seat or go outside.  No stupid-ass fly slow over airfield?  I had to land on BF1943 to effectively repair.  Yeah, the aircraft carrier.

Karkand IO kind of sucked donkey balls. Too many people wasted their time running into the meat grinder of the hotel. If I wasn't in a squad full of my clanmates the odds of winning were next to nil. It doesn't matter how many times you hit the flanks if it's only you and one other guy doing it.

People are generally lazy and don't want to take the two minutes to walk to a tactical offensive or defensive position, especially if they think they'll get more kills/points in the meat grinder. This isn't just limited to Karkand, it's every map. I've always played the objectives so I'm usually the idiot capping a distant flag for his teammates. Then I get to cry when no one spawns to my rescue

What about flag capping races on Highway, Songhua, and Dragon Valley?  You and a friend on a fast vehicle, quickly capping a flag, and getting away before the opposition shows up.  Defending a flag was hopeless when a whole team of armor showed up.

we had a 16p-on-64maps running for a long time. those were the days. something very relaxing about flag-hopping. made maps like cleansweep a lot of fun to play.

Damn bombers/fighters kept ruining the fun on that map.  But yeah, quite fun.  At times we'd cross paths with an opposing flag-hopping team.  We rarely traded fire.  Hope BF3 gives us the ability to do fun stuff like this.  Zipping about while still helping the team.

I don't like Karkand purely because of the number of nades thrown per one round haha

Ghost Town and Warlord are good alternatives.
