Probably became too small for PR gameplay and had to be removed/replaced with self-made maps.

Well...if it was in BF2 it probably was unless dice made it.

You mean the night version? Those were fun maps, along with Mashtuur and Sharqi. Strange that back then I'd think "okay, enough of this, back to BF2 again" while today nothing is better than PR.

Probably got removed back when the team decided the game needed less fun.

S@K2 was a pretty rubbish map, had loads of bugs (and exploits) and no longer fitted into PR after I think v0.3.

The game always turned into a huge stalemate over the fight for the 3, unrealistic bridge setup and was very repetitive each game, was fun the first 10 times it was played, after that became boring.

If you want to see S@K2 return, you are more than welcome to audit the map yourself and post it up as a custom map for players to download and servers to run, here is a tut on how to do it: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f189-m ... audit.html

you can download the map from here (as well as other places): http://battlefield2.filefront.com/file/ ... nd_2;52211

Sorry, not everybody prefers 1337 reality gaming...this side of gaming is turning into a snobbish sort (not the PR sector, reality sector in general).

Back on topic:

I'd like to see strike at karkand 2, whether it's played or not, the vanilla one had a lot of potential, if it was properly edited.

Yeah, out of bounds, it sure had a lot of it :P

[email=S@K2]S@K2[/email] was fun from time to time, some good firefights around the bridge, but just felt too spammy imo.

Which is why I said that I would like to SEE it, not play it. I had figured it was just a edited version of the original.
