90% of bf2's maps were pretty much shit and forgettable, too, cutting out the nostalgia bullshit. we all played 10% of the maps for 99% of the time.
Karkand
Mashtuur City
Sharqi Peninsula
Warlord
Ghost Town
Iron Gator
Night Flight
Devils Perch
Great Wall
Mass Destruction
Leviathan
Surge

Off the top of my head, A+ maps that weren't forgettable. I will agree that most people played Karkand the most though.

Karkand was shit.
Mass Destruction was over rated and mostly boring.
Only thing good about Leviathon was the fight between the sub pens, the rest of the map was pretty meh.
You also forgot Kubra, OCS, Songhua, Daqing and lastly Midnight Sun for anyone who didn't exclusively enjoy Inf.

I have no idea, the only thing wrong is that it's overplayed and that's not even a problem with the map.

karkand wasn't shit at all, it's just anti populist fags being dicks.

Karkand was shit. It was a meat grinder, both teams get stuck at the first flag because there just wasn't enough room to fit 64 players into 3 narrow roads. Even worse was the stalemate that occured if the US managed to take the west side while MEC retained the east side, where neither side would be able to cross the river because of all the shit that they would run into the second they tried to do so.

Karkand was only played so much because it was easy to get loads of points on it because of how claustrophobic it was.

I don't need a description of what karkand was after the amount of time I played it.

It was action, constant action. Sometimes I feel like driving around the edge of mashtuur and capping flags and being all teamwork hurr durr come on team we can do this. And other times I want to be in the action 95% of the time, and that is what karkand was.

the only thing that made karkand upsetting at the start was the calibre of players on bf2. if your team sucked and you didnt get past the first flag then i understand why that isn't fun after 5 rounds of the same thing. once the map opened up though the map design wasn't bad.

that's why you start a squad, invite some noobs into it, and go for cement factory. the train-gatehouse stalemate did get old after a few minutes, but it really isn't super hard to get to the other side if you have a couple competent people with you

Or you can load up the apc and head across the water if you're playing the map in it's proper form, with vehicles.

Karkand with vehicles actually worked quite well. 75% of the time the U.S. would manage to take the hotel using their vehicles quickly.

I think you are too hung up on IO Karkand.

i played dragon valley first just doing mong shit like waiting in a bush half the round aimed at the AA and going like 3-1 for an entire round.

Then I did a lot of sniping on fushee.

I think most of this was unranked and unpatched.

i think doing that stupid camping shit was some of the most fun i've ever had in a game. just sneaking around a base with a silenenced pistol (even if it was my own flag lolz) or driving around in a buggy on the china maps trying to run people over.
