they also said there bringing the g36e with zoom to 2142
I don't think it'll be that bad. The things that made karkand so unbearable was the fact that it fitted the following groups perfectly (and therefore almost everyone on the server was one of them)
Nade spammersArmor whores'36E whores
Fourtunately, grenades are much harder to spam, armor is definitely dumbed down (although the walker is a pain at times) and there is no weapon anywhere near the equivalent of the 'E. Sure, the voss is similar in type and usage, but a Krylov vs. Voss match will be dependant on the player, while a 'E vs. other weapon or 101 vs. any other weapon, the 'E or 101 would win easily.

In karkand? Not that big a problem - how are you going to use rockets in those goddamned alleys?Fenix14 wrote:

I would actually think this would make for a quite interesting map. Much more suited to 2142 than BF2 IMO.

pull out the rockets
look at the ground in the alley where you want to target
Zoom, which locks the distance in
Let loose

Just make the buildings taller so you can't do it then.
I seriously doubt the buildings would be the same, the general layout, maybe.

Im not going to object or moan about any free map!!!.
2142 Karkand...I could imagine it. Massive city (think Belgrade but bigger, and more confined spaces) where alleys are treated with caution by all but the mightest of walker pilots. Close-quarters combat, and a huge destructible bridge in the middle of the map that shall inspire the mightiest of battles...yes, they must bring back destructible bridges, it adds such a huge tactical element!!!

It's not official... just a community map
I'll only like it if its Titan Mode compatible - another City Titan Map would be awsome!
great karland 2142...more noobs spawnkilling, tking, and medic/ support whoring... and finally point farming..
i ran away from bf2 because 50-75% of the servers out there have karland in their map rotations at least 3 -10 times.
we got a karkland map already: its called fall of berlin.

Cool, I'd like to see what time did to the map! Color me a comfortable shade of excited!
Not exactly. Berlin is a hell rape map if no-one works as a team. Where as Kark. One person can sneak parts the front line. As the apcs in bf2 don't have massive spash damage.thebestshooter wrote:

I think In 2142 It would be really cool. As you could pod onto roofs, that arn't that high and snipe, lay traps for walker. If would be better than berlin. As roof camping wouldn't be a pain. It would make it more challanging.
I say bring on 2142 Kark
I think it would be (almost?) better than Gibaltrar - but I don't think it'll challenge Cerbere for pure, untainted fun.

I dont care what anyone says, i like IO Karkand. Its my number 1 played map for a reason. No constant deaths from planes/helo's. No (almost literally) constant deaths from arty, no constant instant deaths from armour in alleyways.
Yes, you do get people spamming the grenades and yes, it is incredibly annoying, but just shoot them and they stop. I prefer IO because its much fairer. Its not just 'the guy in the plane' or 'the guy in the tank' that can get kills. Its all about skills and 1 vs 1 encounters where anyone has a chance.
Also, its almost constant action. Very few long boring slogs to the next flag (i'm looking at you, Highway Tampa..). Its fun with vehicles too but the arty recharges waaaaaaaaaaaay too fast.
So yeah, 2142 Karkand wouldn't go amiss.

Doesnt it say on the ticker in BF2142 "There are reports of a conflict in the Arabian Peninsula" or something like that? Whether they are bring out a Karkand replica or a map to that extent, bring it on. The current maps are getting boring!

Wow, was thinking of going back to 2142. Thanks for changing my mind. Thanks for wrecking a good game Dice....
Didn't want to make a seperate thread for this so here it is.

i got my basic knife combat on karkand, it was hell funny, i was in a full squad, last flag (one at back across river) they were all pinned down fighting across the bridge, other team was sniper whoring to the max, i sneak across river far side, come up behind them (they were all on the wall at gatehouse) standing, i sneak behind, knifed 8 of them one after another in line... got my badge... and my whole team just LOL'd cause they were sniping and saw it from the train wreck...
best moment ever never to be repeated.. sheer luck on my part... they were my only kills the whole server too.. i spent it all trying to sneak around behind enemy positions

I'd like to see the walkers in it...
And true, the nade whores are annoying noobs. But that just leaves the real killing up to experienced players.
Plus they could add snow-you can never go wrong with more snow lolz
