Kashan, why do you bolt when it pops up as next map ?

[Cassius]

Oftentimes when Kashan pops up the server looses like 10 players or so, it is not always the case, but it happens. So why do you bolt on Kashan ?

Personally I like the map because it is an "extreme" PR map. Whish there were more like that other themes than desert. It is just so much fun to call an strafing run on an infantery squad hunkered down in some village. Or to be transported in a blackhawk over an extensive period of time.

What I dont like about it is that although it has tanks the tanks and infantery are forced to fight their own battles rather than supporting each other, espcially in the bunker area (but that is also due to tankers being overly cautious even after the hostile tanks have been eliminated).
Also I cant see desert maps anymore.
Rounds are long, but I would rather play one map that has it all than 3 maps that are just all about infantery.

Most servers lose around 10 people when the map switches to whatever map is next , nothing new. Also i'm pretty sure theres another topic of Likes/Dislikes of Kashan

[XXLpeanuts]

Na man i hate the map, but never leave i always play it, but its ****, too big, not enough in it, i dont like maps with mec vs brit/us, jus dont like mecs, i prefer realistic stuff or the chinese.
Theres just something about that map, its well ****, nooffense to the mapper or mod but yea.

[Sir.Saul]

Ye also my favorite map. I agree on everything you say mate, lots of possible tactics/asset usage/and so on.

Unfortunatly I hear some people dislike cause "Its vanilla like" or something like that. But hey if they don't like it they shouldn't play it. Though you can't blame all players leaving due to the map, they could be have to go, game crashes, or other things like that.

If the right discipline and teamwork, it is the best and most exciting map in my opinion.
(The hole air/ground superiority is really determent on that map - 32/64)

I think its just a boring map, both visually and game play. Not enough cover for decent fire fights too much walking over boring sand dunes when your ride is taken out. Tank snipers too just make it no fun to be infantry.
It was the first epic scale map though and for that should be remembered.

[Clypp]

Sometimes I am only planning on playing PR for a few hours and I know that Kashan will be a 3 hour endevour. Sure, it can have fun rounds, but generally not as much fun as 3 rounds on other maps.

[XXLpeanuts]

yea its just too long, i agree with CLYPP, ur right, for me its boring and too big/long, ide like a city map that size, i know its impossably cus ther wud be just too much but yea, how cool would that be a whole city quite literaly.
maybe one day in a future PR mod in a Future Battlefield game *mouth waters*

I think it's a 'hate it or love it' map. For me, it's the latter (if I'm in a good squad, which I'm usually are.)

[gazzthompson]

if its played well is best map in PR, if played bad worst map ever.

[Threedroogs]

i will play the 16 player version but i will not play the 64 player version. i hate the 64 player version for many of the reasons that have already been pointed out in numerous threads.

the 64 player version of kashan takes HOURS to play and i rarely have fun on that map so i leave. simple as that.

[Eddiereyes909]

16 player Kashan FTW.

[kristofer]

Kashan rules. The 64 player version rules especially with all of the most distinguishing features of the mod.

I think its just a boring map, both visually and game play. Not enough cover for decent fire fights too much walking over boring sand dunes when your ride is taken out. Tank snipers too just make it no fun to be infantry.

Scarlet_Pimp, your sig. owns.

[Cassius]

if its played well is best map in PR, if played bad worst map ever.

I feel the same way, there should be more maps with that approach, with different themes though.

[PlayPR!]

Yea... On that map I have had a few of the best PR games I have ever played, but on the other hand... I have played the worst rounds in my gaming history on that map... Sadly the majority is the latter for me, so I almost always disconnect when it comes up unless I know most of the people that are on are good teamplayers.

[Hotrod525]

I Love KASHAN...the biggest map i ever play on BF2engine... its great and awesome when you got teamwork. The A10 can entirely change the outcome of battle when infantry paint the target. For the Attack Helicopter the fact there is a "Sky" whit cloud and all the things make it more realistic ( capable of engagin a target nearly a kilometers away ) same for tank, there alot of space... and i can continu like this all the night long.

I <3 K.D.

[Kahuna]

Personally I just don't play maps with the MEC. The G3 is plain unpleasant to be up against in my eyes, especially on maps with so little cover. That's the only reason why I don't play Kashan.

[ralfidude]

Kashan is an absolutely Disgusting map to play on servers that allow base rape before all flags are capped.... i mean to the point where its excruciatingly painful. Wait for ur havok or cobra and get in, all to see yourself killed on the heli pad right before take off by a camper with heavy at or enemy chopper camping from above....

how do server admins let that happen? They allow it, they pay for server and all so yeah its game on, but that bit about base rape is too much. Its sooo..... anti PR style!

Perhaps the devs should have never made the two airbases cappable, in which case camping it would be illegal. Then again you could still have tank sniping on that uncap... ehh... its a mess....

Two well populated servers allow that **** already, where as one or two well populated servers also who host the map dont allow it. It depends what works for u best. But its usually the servers that allow base raps that have the cool people playing, untill u get base raped, then its no fun. lol.

[TehDutchDude]

I hate Kashan. It's way too boring. Sure, you can use all the features that Pr offers... but to what extend? Dying and running 4.6km again? Somehow my ride always get's blown up. I don't mind the MEC at all but I do mind seeing so little action, although I do have to admit O'm an infantryman at heart. Hence my hate for Kashan Desert, I guess.

[Alex6714]

Depending, I actually join kashan. It is one of the maps that actually still has assets, unlike sunset/kyongan ni etc that have them all removed.

[Conman51]

16 player Kashan FTW.

true...16 size is very infantry friendly...i like any size..and if u like infantry battles just go hide out in the bunkers...thats where most of the fighting is anyway
