- Why Mashtuur is better than Karkand:

I disagree, for me Sharqi is the best map as the battle seems closer, ie you spawn and face fire. Just like Mashtuur a helicopter can dominate the round.
Eh wrong, Karkand has tons of places to snipe from, and even if it didnt, THIS WOULD BE IN ITS FAVOUR!Talon wrote:
Only one or two good places for sniping/many places to snipe, but enough paths to dodge snipers. (unlike Wake, for example)

good comparison +1
Sharqi is the best regular map, but if we're talking about ALL of the maps, Warlord takes the cake.
Mash is my best map for sniping as it is so easy.
Karkand gets on my nerves and jallalala etc is poor IMO.

eh i still like strike at karkand infantry only i get anywhere from 120-200 points per round and theres no gay arty
whiners, karkand is miles better than mashtuur. Snipe much?
mashtuur OWNS karkand, no arguing, thats teh bottom line.
Frankly I would rather play neither. The main reason is there are no jets or choppers. Karkand is way too overplayed. Also it really sucks when the other team has both tanks in Mashtuur and rapes, which happens a lot when you're on a crap team.
People need to play SF more!! Ghosttown is my favorite map now.

Personally, I love mashtuur because the enemy has to be really on their game to avoid having a good squad taking their gas station and hill within 5 mins while the enemy is dealing with defensive threats at all allied flag pts. I usually run a squad of all colors to destroy assets, vehicles, taking flags, and wiping out squads/lone wolves. Best squad I run in mashtuur consists of mostly friends who love the team play aspect and we usually have the following kits:
Sniper (me...squad leader)
Medic (stays pretty close to me and allows me to get up to +15 kills per round and 0-1 deaths. Goes in last to help out capping flags. Friend of mine likes to just stay away from flag capping cuz ya never know when disaster might strike.)
Support (another gunner and usually is more effective at staying back with me and be last to go in a cap a flag)
Spec ops (almost like having another sniper on the team with that good ol unlock of his, tank destroyer, flag capper; 2nd to go in to cap a flag.)
Anti tank (takes out vehicles defending flags and great at circling flag point and clearing out pesky flag defenders via auto shotgun.)
Assault kit (the man for going in first and capping flags. This guy usually pwns with his good ol unlocked G3.)
Most of all, YOU NEED A GOOD COMMANDER WITH A MIC! There's so much more you can offer to your team if you can communicate well with a good commander. Instead of just running straight in to cap a flag ask for a scan if not UAV to find out how heavy the defense might be. More often then not there's that one sniper who'll linger back near the gas station outside the UAV who'll make your life a living hell. An often spoke of tip but hardly used is to rotate squad leader if you die and there's only 1-2 squadies attacking a specific target. #1 reason medic goes in last. Medic will stay unnoticed and become squad leader soon enough for you to respawn on him along with other squadies. Try it out. I guarantee success with practice. Check out the sniping/claymore guide on wiki and you'll have a hefty kill vs death count. Good luck!

Just looking at the front page alone, every single person who said they liked mashtuur and I could see their stats, had karkand as their most played map and only like 1 didn't but still he played karkand longer than mashtuur. Obviously karkand is the most popular map and whoops any other map.
argh, people keep saying infantry map, and then say something about tanks or helis.
#rekt
Either way I like Karkand. Although I Basically only play IO when I first started I played vehicles. I played other maps for so long then I played Karkand once and just stuck with it. Then after awhile I stumbled on IO and liked that even more.

I prefer Mashtuur, but can rarely find a good server running it.
Sharqi is my favorite. It has a TON of paths for infantry to dodge tanks/Vodniks, the choppers make it more 3 dimensional, there are lots of great places for creative snipers, and things are close.
Insomnia 365 server is the only server that is populated that runs it 24/7. That server is nearly always populated thoughmKmalfunction wrote:

Soon, soon i tell you, Mashtuur will be my top map!
You have approximately 27 days before that time assuming you consistently play as usual and play nothing but Mashtuur. Even after that time you know,... deep down in your heart,... KARKAND RULES!t0mhank5 wrote:

"Its easier to find a server on Karkand than it is Mashtuur."
Wonder why that is?
Mashtuur is best with vehicles, on IO it's such a long walk from A to B. Karkand is better with vechices too actually, I love it when a squad of medics is being raped by a single tank.
Mashtuur infantry is almost the best there is.. Karkand is getting notorious because of the statspadders/glitchers
Well because it's so popular there's going to be more glitchers and stats padders. Glitchers can be dealt with if there's and admin on or a kickvote. The only way someone could stat pad on Karkand IO is if they keep killing and reviving someone but that's easily spottable. They'll be 1 or 2 guys on your team in one spot for a long time and have an outrageous score so could just use a kickvote or admin. But even if they did, the only way it would hinder your gaming experience is if you were going to get a badge.
