If I play that map at all, 99% of the time I'll play sniper, and you will not see me in the grinder section. Maybe sniping at it, but not in the mix. Karkand is good if you're trying for a badge that needs X number of kills IAR. Other than that, it's a mess.VeNg3nCe^ wrote:
Karkand is a noob map, don't expect any teamwork on there.
Someone else suggested Warlord, and I'd like to second that. The palace can be a real bitch to hold/take, but it at least has some value (assets are there, APC, ticket bleed spot). Plus you get the added bonus of SF players generally not being retards. I love this map. It's my most played now.
Hotel has nothing but bodies, bullets, and inane banter. I'd much rather defend the east side from trainwreck or from just the other side of the water. Suburbs can be fun too, but Hotel and square and just point fests.
I'm ashamed that Karkand was once my most played map.
Regarding squads....I'll follow orders as long as they're not stupid. Like, if I were on Karkand and we only have one point, don't tell me to go get Hotel. That's best left for the last spot you take or reclaim. Most of the time, I play with a small group of friends and we form a 3-4 person squad and just take points. We'll defend them for a bit, and then move to the next one. After we take a 2nd spot, we run back through the first to see if anyone is trying to take it. Then, we move onto the 3rd. I only wish we'd hooked up earlier and my teamwork score wasn't so low. The others are around 50-50, and I'm slowly catching up. Still, we try to play smart, switching kits as needed to help teamates and changing tactics based on the map. We are definitely not the uber squad, but minus point whoreing squads, we're frequently best squad for out team.
