THROW yourselves at the enemy. Go berserk, charge them screaming AIAIAIIAIAIAI. Fear less for your life and more for how many of them you can take with you.

THAT is some of the most fun play possible when you don't have to worry about dying, especially after long AAS rounds.

this is the man i want to play with on insurgents.

On Karbala we stared at several squads worth of people hanging around their main, well within the dome of death, for 20 minutes. There's only artillery so often.

I usually don't mind the slower pace, but there's only so much you can do to get the fight started as insurgents.

I dont see how insurgents have the upper hand. If US fails to capitalise on firepower and long range attacks then it'll be bloody I guess.
Wait till insurgent team has less people and switch over, if its so biased it should be easier to make the map end quicker.

It is weird how maps tend to play at the same times regardless of when its reset or crashes or maps skipped

Nothing could be as one sided as the old basra map with the a10 (s) I can remember one guy getting 80 kills no deaths

**Exadus** · 12-20-2009, 05:44 AM

Same here, I hate the regularity of the map rotations. It should be changed up more frequently.

**orpal** · 12-20-2009, 06:27 AM

I can say its mainly my fault for rotation being same round after round. I usually ask an admin to change the map to some asset heavy map at the start of the seeding, thus making rotation same everyday.

I will try to ask them to set it to normal course again after that seeding map is over.

Get shot in the face by a Stryker or get shot in the ass by a SAW...

Options are just so hard to choose sometimes...

Only time we actually do get a cache within the city it gets mortared within 10 minutes. So city fighting doesn't really work unless you like doing fisticuffs with mortar shells.

**Jevski** · 12-20-2009, 10:56 AM

As I have mentioned before, there is a script that randomizes the map rotations to BF2. It can also be set to increase or decrease map size according to players on the server. Perhaps someone with programming skills could look into it, if its possible to adapt to PR.

Then we wouldnt have the mentioned problem of having the same map running around the same time day after day...

I didn't say it wasn't. Sure it can be fun to throw yourselves at the enemy and hope to take some of them with you but it does get old fast, especially when the rounds last two hours.

I *just* changed the maplist yesterday (Saturday).

It's all just bad timing. The server crashed a couple of times in the morning yesterday, so if you take away any one of those crashes and all of a sudden you're not on Karbala.

Stop over-reacting to what is just bad timing.

Besides, Karbala is fun. I did my stint as insurgents for one of the rounds, the first one (which I thoroughly enjoyed anyway, even as insurgents..), then turned around and had an amazing round as Blufor.

Edit:

IIRC we only used mortars once on one of your caches.

Twice.. maybe. But if it was twice I don't remember the second time.

I agree with Star. If you are bored sitting inside the city change your game play.

It's funny to see insurgents in those rounds start to say insurgency maps are unbalanced.
I agree approx. 70%+ of insurgency maps are won without much effort by the taliban or iraqi teams.

If you are frustrated by Convoy tactics slowing down the game you can always leave.
OR
Once you see this convoy behavior start. Change your tactics - you could...

1- As always stay informed on SL channel Mumble. Team work wins!
2- Wait til the convoy departs and attack their weakest end.
3- Ambush the FOB that is left undefended. (Usually south of USMC Karbala Main.)
4- Use technicals and SA7 to defend against CAS from Littlebird cache assaults.
5- Disrupt convoy travels by booby trapping all choke point roads and bridges.
6- Mortars reset in 30 minutes - wait for the convoy to halt and let the USMC have it.

There have been some epic matches recently. I also would love to change rotation a bit and get a few good matches on Fallujah, Ramiel, Basrah instead of just Karbala.

I'd love to see some more kashan...all 3 layouts.
